Winner's Tutorial, Challenge #114, by stripped
Greetings! One tutorial for Challenge 114 coming up. While I kept careful notes that make it sound like I knew where I was going with this from the first moment, let me say that my best icon technique is "try things until something works" and that's definitely where I went with this one.
This icon was created using Photoshop CS5, along with some outside textures (I'll label them as I go). ( The details are behind the cut... )
If I am not clear enough on any step, or you would like clarification for any reason, please ask. It is quite possible that I may have missed mentioned something!

Hi all, and thank you for voting for this icon. It was made in Photoshop CS5 on a Mac, and uses Gradient Map, Levels and Colour Fill, so all quite translatable, I'm sure.

Winner's Tutorial, Challenge #109, by yvi
This is way late and I am pressed for time today, but I thought that's better than nothing, and it's a very simple icon anyway.
I use GIMP 2.6. Unfortunately, GIMP doesn't save the history.
As a reference, this was the finished icon:

This icon was made in Adobe CS4 on a Mac, but should be pretty easily translatable.

I created my icon in Photoshop CS5 Extended, though it should definitely be translatable into at least other versions of photoshop.
Hope this is helpful to someone!

Winner's Tutorial, Challenge #97, by pensnest
Thank you for the votes, everyone—though I wonder if I insinuated myself into first place by avoiding the challenge of the snowboarder! Still, I did manage to do some different things this time, so I hope this tutorial will be of interest. Icon was made in PS CS5 on a Mac, and uses a couple of filters as well as standard things.
