These are not bases; they weren't cropped or created to have room for text, and I believe borders would ruin the organic nature of the colours and backgrounds, but if you feel like ruining them, I guess I can't stop you.
These are all from images taken from the covers of the Saiunkoku books; the original artwork was splendid, so just enhancing the colours is all I felt necessary to make these gorgeous (IMO, at least).

Ten icons from the Season 3 promo shots for Battlestar Galactica. Most of the starring cast, all done in a similar style. I was going for starkly elegant with a military feel, so hopefully it worked. There's an alternate of Sharon, one with the trappings of the Galactica group, one with the more spare trappings of the Cylon [and sympathizer]. As always, help yourselves and enjoy!

A few Firefly icons for your viewing pleasure. They're all River-ish, with six of River, one of River's thigh and Mal, and one of River's brother's vest. Okay, so that last one is stretching it a bit, but who doesn't love Simon's vests?

As always, help yourselves, just let me know where things go! Crediting is entirely up to you.

inuyasha_lims icons
I hate the Kagome one but I kinda like the others. The lotus one was esp. interesting to make, since I added the sparkles on the water, made the washed-out and low-contrast colours richer and more dimensional. Looks v. different from the cap we had to use.

Once again, I made it to the last week but lost. Here are the icons that got me that far. Some of them are quite ugly, but in my defense, the caps we had to use were shitty.

This is a tutorial for Photoshop, later versions including 7 and CS. Basic knowledge of PS is expected in order to follow this tutorial. This is very image-heavy; dialup users are warned.

Now that you have solid, gradient, and pattern layers, they work like any other layer. You can switch layer modes, use masks, or rasterize them to erase bits of them. The following icon was made using the three layers shown above, set to different modes, masked, etc.
I hope this tutorial will help you make the most of your digital art in Photoshop. If you make anything guided by this tutorial, I'd love to see it!

#1: ctrl-Q sends you into quick mask mode-- with your brush tool, paint over the area you want selected, then hit ctrl-Q a second time. The area you painted will now be selected and ready for you to flood-fill, mask, etc.

Isn't the Sesshoumaru one awful? I'm shocked I didn't get voted out that week. What the HELL was I thinking? [shakes head]

These were all made for pleasure rather than huge artistic merit, and I had a lot of fun doing them. After looking at ol' Hayden for a few hours, he started looking impossibly weird to me-- like an alien.
Didn't bother with borders, text, or anything fussy, but they're not bases. Just concentrate on the colours, textures, shading and highlighting, and enjoy the ride.
RULES:
(x) DO NOT HOTLINK.
(x) PLEASE COMMENT.
(x) DO NOT CREDIT.<-- v. big because if I put it in normal-sized text, no one sees it.

( A triplet of triplets, just things I've been thinking on recently. First off, three from Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick.
( Riddick, various )
Next up, a trio featuring Kat Von D from the TLC show Miami Ink. She can be found in Kat's Corner.
( Kat Von D )
Lastly, here are three of one pic from Fight Club I originally did these as version for a contest I never got around to entering. I thought I'd put them up here for any Brat Pitt fans in the audience.

I tried a lot of experimental things for colour, so it's ok if you hate this batch :) Lizzie West is a singer/songwriter whose work is fantastic, with lines like, "If it's all the same to you, old dame, I'll call that kettle black." She wrote a marvelous, beautiful tune for the anonymous poem, "Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep", also. I heartily recommend her work.
