Gacking every single icon.

Can you tell me how you get this effect? It really suits the pictures...

Not at all. :D
(I use Photoshop 7.)

Crop and lighten/sharpen the pic to your liking.

Cut out Boromir, or Legolas or whomever is on your icon, copy and paste into a new layer.

Then go to Images-Adjustments-Hue/Saturation.
There is a little box there called Colorize. When you click it, 'weird stuff' will happen to your guy ;). You can change the hue and saturation until you get the colour you like. You can also change the lightness here, but I prefer to do that by duplicating a layer and then chose 'screen' as blend mode. Or what ever it is called ;).

Then use the Eyedropper tool and sample a colour from Boromir. Preferably one of the lighter ones. Create new layer, put it behind Boromir and fill it with the paint bucket tool. You might need to adjust the colour a bit, I think you'll find that you need a very light colour.

Then try out brushes in various darker shades of your chosen colour.

Play around with the blend modes, fill and opacity until you are satisfied with your icon. I usually lower the opacity on all the layers quite a bit, except from the 'paint bucket layer' of course.

I think that's about it. But I might not have explained it very well. Ask again if there is anything that's not clear, yeah?
