A few people requested tutorials for the DNAngel icons in my recent icon post, and since they're basically the same coloring, I'll be making one tutorial.

Request by [info]akushiro, [info]akupushi, [info]inquisitory, and [info]xxsecretive.

Using PS CS, we'll be making This tutorial is translatable only to other PS programs.

The icons this tutorial covers are:
is A, is B, is C, is D.

01 Start with your base: A B C D

02 Icon A uses textures from [info]hellodarliing's lens flare texture packs. I don't know which ones I used because, since I erased so much of it, I can't tell xD But anyway, I used two at screen 100%.
03 Paste this texture (by me) and set it to screen 10%.
     A had this texture set to screen 25%.
04 Make a new Selective Color adjustment layer, and input these values:
     Reds: -100 0 -20 5
     Yellows: -100 -10 0 -35
     Neutrals: 10 0 0 -15
05 Make a new layer and fill it with #0A0E28. Set it to exclusion 100%.
     B and D had this layer set to exclusion 75%.
06 Make a new layer and fill it with #A4E3F5. Set it to color burn 40%.
     A had this layer set to color burn 100%, and C had it at 15%.
07 Make a new layer and fill it with #E1A8A8. Set it to softlight 100%.
08 Duplicate your base and bring it to the top. Desaturate it and set it to softlight 65%.
     B, C, and D did not use this step.
09 Make a new Hue/Saturation/Lightness adjustment layer, and set master saturation to 15.
     A had this layer set to master saturation 30.
10 Paste this texture (by ?, heavily edited by me) and set it to screen 100%.
     B, C, and D did not use this step.
11 Make a new Selective Color adjustment layer, and input these values:
     Reds: 0 0 0 15
     Neutrals: 0 -5 -5 10
12 Make a new Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer, and set brightness to -5 and contrast to 5.

END OF TUTORIAL FOR A

The following is for B only.
13 Make a new Selective Color adjustment layer, input these values, and set the layer to normal 70%:
     Reds: 0 0 -30 0
     Neutrals: 55 0 0 -35
14 Make a new Hue/Saturation/Lightness adjustment layer, and set master saturation to 15.
