Take the image you want and crop it into an icon. This base was taken from Quiescent.
Too much of the green / yellow shade exposed! Right click your base and duplicate it, then press [Shift + Ctrl + U] on the duplicated layer. Set the desaturated layer to Softlight 100%.
Now for some levels. Go to "Layer => New Adjustment Layer => Levels". Input the following settings to your settings. IP stands for Input, and OP stands for Output. Note: All Output Levels are default. RGB: {IP: 0, 0.93, 225} {OP: 0, 255} Red: {IP: 0, 1.04, 225} {OP: 0, 255} Blue: {IP: 0, 1.05, 225} {OP: 0, 255}
Time to make Noctis go a blue/purple shade. Go to Layer => New Adjustment Layer => Curves and set it to the settings provided below. The 1st number will be the Input and the 2nd number will be the Output. RGB: {47, 43} {120, 115} {176, 151} Red: {77, 65} {139, 116} {177, 171} Green: {93, 77} {148, 135} {194, 189} Blue: {79, 92} {147, 157}
