Hey, guys~ I'm gonna pimp this out. I could always use some concrit. So please, comment if you have the time! It'll really help.

Requests from this post are finished!

First off, this is curtissed with a rename. JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW.

Second, an over-due tutorial, as requested by nykema

Going from to
Program: Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0
Transferable: Probably
Difficulty Level: Easy
Image Heavy: Not too bad.
Requested by: nykema

What was requested specifically was the coloring on my Bolt icons, but this is the basic coloring I use for...most everything, lately. With minor tweaks here and there, depending on the image. It involves mainly using Luminosity and Soft Light, and I've seen plenty of other iconists use similar techniques. So here's just my own take on it.
