Thanks for the tutorial! It is a great starting point and led me to finding the Pixelbender plug-in. As with any tutorial, I've started to deviate from it by now, but it was very helpful to get me on the track, so to speak.
Here are a couple of icons I made for Gazebo's City State Diplomacy mod:
One comment regarding the tutorial: I find resizing to 172 px diameter works better with the CiV frames, using 174 px as diameter seems to obscure the innermost part of the frame unlike the stock icons.
As TPangolin, though, I prefer to make starbursts through brushes - I like that using a brush gives you finer control over whole composition, since you see the shape of the starburst before placement. Gives an idea of the final composition (even if you then modify the starburst shape after using the brush, as with tutorials and other stock resources, a brush is just a starting point).
