These are quite super awesome. I really wish I had your skill at these.

I tried once an it looked crappy XD. Can I ask for a tip or trick you'd be willing to share?

I can try? Most of it has been trial and error though, ahaha.

Most of these didn't require any redrawing or excessive cleaning up in photoshop! Sometimes if there is just an arm left in my crop that I don't want, I will double the layer and use the clone tool to paint over it and blur it away.

The curves tool is possibly the most helpful one in photoshop. It will brighten or darken the entire thing and you can set it to the three specific colors (blue, red or green) which SUPER helps with the Kamen Rider Horrible Lighting that always happens (LET'S FIGHT IN A DIMLY LIT CAVE god why). Color contrast and balance are great, but all of these things have to be done on an individual basis. I never autocolor anything, because I don't trust it. PARANOIA.

And then I flatten and sharpen everything at the end. If it looks weird, I undo that, double the layer, sharpen the top one and reduce the opacity on that until it looks good. :|b

Saved a few of these, since I realized I have no Decade icons. Thank you! :)
