Looky! I made an icon!

Comment, Credit, Take.

I made it for a ~~spy~~ friend. I tinted it to match a specific layout, but I rather like the look of it. I think I'm going to do more of them.

NOTES: I used a color tinting technique that I'm going to write up a tutorial on sometime soon. I did it by accident one day and rather like the results. Just as soon as I get up the gumption to make up the tutorial graphics, I'll publish them. To give you an idea of what the technique does, here's the originals before I applied the color tinting...

Step 1	Step 2

STEP 1: This is the original. Obviously, I prepped the photograph to give it an artisitic look before it go to this point, but I only used my standard two step process I apply to all the images I plan on turning into icons.
STEP 2: This is after I've applied the first step in the color change. This one is just a light pink set to Soft Light @ 100%

The icon could probably be finished at Step 2, but I had to give it the tint to make sure it blended with the layout to which I was setting it. I'll give y'all more details on the full process another time. For now, enjoy the icon if you want it!
