Well, some of my styles of icons, anyway. These are for Paint Shop Pro 8 (The program I use. Because I rock.), but I'm sure you can translate them to Photoshop or GIMP (You can't do this in Paint. Sorry guyths.) (If this is against the rules, feel free to close.)

Link to the tutorials, since I don't feel like converting my HTML to BB code:
Bluey-purpley (Cloud from Advent Children)
Rainbow (Angel from Rent)
Fancy eyes (Me)

Yesh. Enjoy.

I tried the Cloud tutorial and I'm stuck on the first step. =/

I'm new to this and I'm confused with cropping. How did you get it to the 100x100 size? I tried the crop tool and it won't work.

Also where is the Soft Light option? ._.

First, go to the Selection tool. Up at the top is a little button that looks like this:

. Click this magical button and a window will pop up. Change the values under "Right" and "Bottom" to something between 100 and 500, depending on the size of your image. Then go to the Move tool (the little compass looking thing) and while holding down the right mouse button, drag your selection to what you want your icon to include. Then, go to Image >> Crop to Selection. Then, go to Image >> Resize and resize it to 100x100. After that, go to Adjust >> Sharpness >> Sharpen and you're ready to go.

Soft Light is in the layer palette,
