Icon Update
I talked about making some new icons so my collection would better reflect my current interests back in January, and what do you know I'm still working on it. I really like the cap of Raffles smiling that I worked with during the Snowflake Challenge, but I wasn't quite happy with the icon I made, so I kept fiddling.
The original vs. the new version:
It's much nicer.
The irony, of course, is that having learned some nice tricks to make things less beige (thanksfirestorm717 for the levels tip, the 'set white point' tool in particular is a life saver), I ended up putting yellow and brown textures on it until it was... well... beige again. I do like it, though I wonder if it doesn't still need... something.
I also made an icon for The Terror that I'm pleased with:
(That show really came for my life y'all)
Idk. Some things work for me right away. Some things I poke for six months.

Your icons from 70s caps look great <3 A lot of the tricks I've been using came from this tutorial post, and with 70s caps some of those methods seem to deepen the contrast too much? Like I end up with major shadows and blinding foreheads.
Idk. Experimenting is the only way to learn, and I'm having fun with it.
