this is a crazy thing to ask but is there a specific keyword or system you use to find webcore resources? i feel like yours always match super well idk no pressure to answer!!

oh boy anon, get ready for my biggest ramble yet. but here's all the ways i look for webcore stuff:

okay‼️first thing first, look for the basics! so words like: webcore... overlays, pngs, cutouts, stickers, etc. also a little more specific like computer tabs, cursors, pixel fonts, computer icons, etc etc

but my special key is picking a specific ui! ui means user interface and, explained as simply as simply as possible, it basically means how a thing looks online! so when editing webcore, you choose a ui style you want to go for, and use the above keywords alongside the ui name to search for them! it tends to let you find more specific things as opposed to the vague "webcore computer tabs" lmao. so here's some of my favorite ui's!

*BEFORE I START! these arent all! theres so many cool computer ui's! this site has lots of them in order of creation, and learning the names makes it easier to find what you like :]

windows xp!

this is the most known one, especially known for bliss, the wallpaper featured here! windows xp ui works awesome for frutiger aero or more colorful webcore stuff! its known for very round tabs and icons, 3d looking stuff, and lots of green and blue!

windows 95!

this one is also fairly popular! its much more flat in comparison to xp, focusing more on teal with monochrome or blue tabs and pixely icons and pixels!

system 1 aka macintosh!

ones of my ult. faves..very flat and commonly completely or mostly monochrome! its all very pixely and with thin lines! (i made pngs for this one, theyre on my old blog!)

additionally, webcore, while it usually focuses on computers, is WEBcore! so you can look for ui's for fun stuff like girls go games, irc, cooking mama, even stuff like youtube!

and you can even try stepping out of the web, and look at the hardware! pick a computer or game console, and use that! like a nintendo ds or a macintosh computer!

the key is really just knowing the name of what youre looking for! as opposed to just looking for 'webcore pngs', use more specific keywords alongside that in your searches and you'll find literal goldmines of stuff!

but before i really go crazy, and start listing every single ui and computer i know, here's a bunch of sites you can check out instead:

my png board & my resources board on pinterest

my webcore tag on my resource blog

history of ui's

web design museum

netrestore blog

windows error maker

make wordart

minecraft achievement maker

list of keywords to use:

webcore, glitch, pixel, computer, computer tabs, cursors, [ui name] computer tabs, [ui name] computer icons, [ui name] cutout, medsoc layout, medsoc template, [ui name] template, etc . . .

. . . you can follow a lot of these with words like: png, cutout, texture, overlay, sticker, icon, etc etc!

i hope all that helps!!!!!!!!! i heart webcore and all computer and web related aesthetics!!!!! yay!!!! <3

hi!! can i ask a tut on how u did the line and dot outline effects for the marcus icons ? if ok to ask, may i ask how did u get the pfp masks? did u make them on photopea mobile ?? pls and ty, i hope this isn't too much !! sorry🥹

omg aeth's reply is so late aeth is sorry, here are my quick steps , i'll also add some screenshots if its not to understandable in text !

have your image and shape preset -> duplicate the shape and use vectorize bitmap on one of them and click ''ok'' -> select path and change fill color to ''none'' while changing stroke to the color you desire aswell as adjust the line size !! -> optional ; change the line to dotted or dashed aswell as changing its position (making it bigger/smaller)

if you use a custom shape in photopea you can ignore the vectorizing part !!

you need to now go on select path and change the fill and stroke it can now look like this ;

if you want to make multiple outlines of the same shape i recommend to just duplicate the now path layer and adjust each duplication how you like!! if you want other shape outlines in it you will have to repeat the process

example on how it should look like for fill and stroke , px and style of outline are how you want them to be!!

Omfg why didn’t I post this

another messy/smaller tut on how to undertone the face (or at least how I do it mostly)

it's worth noting that i exaggerate saturation/hue more in my typical art, but this is dialed down for everyday stuff

hhhiiiiiei how did you do the texture on your pretty stongbads

yowdy howdy ! its a black paper texture set to " screen " + this halftone effect set to " overlay " . i didn't save the version with the effects on my canvas so i can't tell you the opacities but if i had to guess from memory ... the paper is around 20-30% and the halftone is around um ... 60-100% . of course of course futz around and find out what works best for your art :J

here's the piece w/o the filters just for you 'nonny
