Tutorial #002.  
to in the GIMP. I don't believe it's translatable.

Step #01: Take your base. Sharpen and add a screen layer if it needs it.
Step #02: First: duplicate the base layer. Second: On the layer you just made, use these curves: (Layer --> Colors --> Curves)

Value
x:24 y:0
x:226 y:255

Red
x:0 y:13
x:52 y:49

Green
x:61 y:0
x:200 y:209

Blue
x:0 y:46
x:240 y:255
Step #03: Set the layer you just did the curves on to 'Saturation' 100%. If it looks like the person in your icon has bloodshot eyes, you may want to erase their eyes. (in the saturation layer) If you like your icon like it is, you can stop here.
Step #04: Duplicate the saturation layer, but this time set it 'Value' 100%.
Step #05: At this point I thought my icon looked just a *bit* too purple, so I merged the layers, went to Hue/Saturation, and increased the hue by +5.

- I do plan on writing more tutorials, so if you'd like, friend me.
