In my experience I haven't found anything better than using Public Domain
Brush-to-Icon and vice-versa converters with DPaint III.  The conversion
utilities I have will make nice 8-color Icons using this method.  The
perspective effects let you do some neat stuff (ie: folders the open, 
icons that "fall down" when clicked on).  Best of all its free!  
(Because everyone owns DPaint, right?)

Fred Fish disks have the conversion programs.  At least, that's where I 
got them.
