hello! i just came across your blog and i'm blown away but how talented you are. i have a quick question though : where do you find your resources for backgrounds? i have a hard time finding stuff to use when i make my own backgrounds and was hoping you could point me in the right direction. i hope you have a nice day / night! keep up the great work :)
Hi sweetheart ! Thank you so much for the compliment, and I’m planning to update my commissions with a more recent theme and promo style to show how I’ve improved since I first started commissions ! <3
So, where I normally get my images is actually pinterest or google itself! I tend to add tumblr at the end of google searches to help narrow it down to more aesthetically pleasing images!! The best way to really help yourself when making backgrounds is understanding the aesthetic you’re going for, like what really embodies your character? What imagery comes to mind with your character and what specifically can you associate them with? This can be images and colours, and in this background I’ve made for elsa from frozen for my rp blog, you can see I used a lot of ice images !
I used some art too which isn’t always bad, but be sure to give credit somewhere on your blog if you haven’t made it! Never take art from pinterest and say “credit goes to owner” , try to find the direct source and link the users profile, Another thing is being creative with the boxes, and as you see in this background for my OC, i used a border around the box to further accent the entire look and add something more to it !
Using text really helps too ! Be sure to check dafont for fonts, they’re really good for all types! But the images you use you can best find on tumblr or pinterest, since those places are hives for busy images ! If you have any further questions, please do ask ! Have a great night / day yourself, honey! <3
