FLORA HELLO! happy trivia tuesday :) i love aesthetics, and yours are always amazing, so if you want, what’s your process for making your aesthetics for your characters! maybe for someone like my queen miriam 🥺
Hi Shannon! Always a pleasure and, of course, we are here for some Miriam content.
Okay, I usually start off characters with at least one or two themes, time periods or a general color palette that makes scanning pinterest a little easier.
For Miriam, I had 1910s-20s, WW1, and red. Those were my first searches. As the character progresses, I usually start finding other facets of her personality or her story that can be added.
Once I have my main theme, I start combing through the Pinterest feed. (The key is to put "aesthetic" after every search😂)
When I find something I like, I download it to my thumb drive and I keep searching. I will often collect photos, quotes, and stuff that I vibe with for weeks before making my first aesthetic.
(are there other sites you can use? Yes. But this is the only one I am familiar with so....)
and just upload nine photos as a time that I think would look good together, or really embody my character.
For Miriam, it's red, crows, skulls and any dark colored Slytherin quote.
I mess around with brightness and stuff but I usually don't do too much to the actual photos. My process isn't too fancy, just a lot of searching and a lot of patience.
I usually send the in progress aesthetics into my discord server and @julianneday1701 will make a few suggestions that just add the extra sparkle. (If you like my aesthetics, all credit to Julianne :^)
I love making aesthetics and it's so therapeutic. I'm actually in the process of making another for Lady Blood as we speak😅
Thanks for the ask Shannon!🤗🌻
