I think he used "Adobe Photoshop" .

[AmyElizzabeth]

I have Photoshop but I can't do anything like that T_T

[Selofain]

Google "photoshop tutorials." It'll do wonders.

Yeah, it was just Photoshop.

Spoiler for how i did it, summed up:

Using the high-res version of the picture, I erased the background, duplicated Nagato a few times and adjusted the color/contrast/etc on the different layers and changed the layer properties on them, too (I think there's a soft light and a color burn in there? that last one is pretty transparent, though). That was to improve the originally muted colors mostly. And then the original layer, that still had the background, I adjusted the contrast and applied a gradient map, then rotated the whole thing and faded one end. And then I took the spruced up Nagato-sans-background, flipped the image, applied the same gradient map, but faded the effect, then reduced the opacity on it.

And there's your speedy tutorial. If you want to learn more about using PS, there are a ton of LiveJournal communities about it, though the ones specifically for icon/avatar tutorials are probably easier to find.

I'm out of practice, though, so yeah.


And to keep this from just being a blahblah reply that could be replaced with "google it", here are some random freebie avatars I've done from Nagato fan-art:



My other attempts came out looking like utter crap. Definitely still getting used to this kind of thing again.

I usually get pictures from Gelbooru. All I do is crop them and change the colours, because I'm very, very lazy.

[AmyElizzabeth]

It's what I do too (when I make mine)
I find it fun-ish

Spoiler for Freebies:

[CrowKenobi]

I'd like to point out that AnimeSuki does have Haruhi avatars included in the predefined avatar set located in the User CP under the "Edit Avatar" selection. </shamless plug>

Anyway, here's an avatar version of a pic recently reposted by Amy:

A very simple avatar I made for myself in a bigger size for using elsewhere... This AS safe resize is a freebie.

Absolutely no-minder. Got a larger version (150 pixel wide) if anyone is interested.

(Darn link... will you work? Alright now...)
