Full Icon Tutorial: Angelina Jolie

I started with a high-res picture of Angelina (which you can find in picture communities, such as Hires Hotties and Hires Angelina), which I cropped and resized. I looked at it, and thought that it was slightly too dark, so I duplicated the picture, set the top layer on Screen, 30% opacity or so. Then, I went to sharpened the top layer, merged the layers and got my base:

I looked at it, and thought something along the lines of "Hey! Fire!", so I went to my textures folder and grabbed a texture from _joni:

I put that on top of the Angie base, set it on Screen, 100% opacity. I now have this:

Looks like the flames aren't just behind Angelina, but all around her, but she doesn't burn, which means, she's hotter than the flames, but anyways... I created a new raster layer on top of the other two, and grabbed this brush from Meleada:

I like it because it's kinda messy, but not too much, which is good. I used it on the new raster layer (100pixels) I just made a minute ago.

Now, I thought to myself that it needed something more, so I made yet another raster layer and I grabbed this brush from inxsomniax, ex dorky_duck:

I used it at 100pixel on the new raster layer. The result is this:

Almost done! I just looked and looked for something this icon would represent, and after "Too Hot" "Blazing" etc, I chose to go simple once again with the word "lust". I placed it just above the brush, color black and font Daniela, size 16. And voilą. Easy icon that looks yummy.

Feel free to comment and request any other tutorial. Also, duh, don't make exactly the same icon. And, don't snag this icon/tutorial as your own and tell people you made it. Thanks, and if you used this tutorial, feel free to show me what you made with it. Enjoy!
