Not currently taking any more icon requests, but check out my thread at AtM if you want to request tutorials/guides/tips :) Ask The Maker 6.0 || My Thread
Feel free to request what you like (except .psd files / the Gimp equivalent) and I'll try and get them done quicker than I did last year's AtM requests! :P
Also, still working on those Summertime Requests, but not taking any more (so that I can actually finish them in a timely fashion...)
the_silverdoe asked something on how I do negative space/backgrounds, so here's a general guide, a general tutorial, and a more specific tutorial :) My tutorials are intended to demonstrate my icon-making process, and hopefully to help other icon makers - they are not here so anyone can copy my work, so please don't!
