hello! i recently downloaded your sunflower file, and it told me the zip was damaged / corrupted, and when trying to extract otherwise, it said the file was empty!

hello, anon! this is indeed so strange, because i tried downloading it on two different machines and it seems to be working alright, shucks. (╥﹏╥) i'd love to help you out if you're interested in that pack still, so please contact me off anon through my askbox or DMs and i'll do my best to assist you!

Hello, hello, dearies! I hope you're all doing well (˵ •̀ ᴗ •́ ˵ ) ✧ I generally do not post WIPs (maybe I should?), but I've been super excited about this specific project and I'd like to know you guys' opinions on it, since I'm trying to understand what kind of aesthetics my clientele might enjoy more!

Here's a little video preview below:

Ta-dah! ~ It's an icon border that meshes y2k and neotribal aesthetics, hehe! The icon border will also be able to change colours in one click, so it'll be especially useful for multimuse blogs. I've already been working on a colouring PSD to go with it, but I wanted to know what you guys might enjoy more!

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions through this post's comments or by sending requests to my inbox/DMs! Other than some free colouring PSDs, I have other icon border + post dividers packs on my WIPs, too, with these aesthetics: 1) geometric sun/moon, 2) floral and 3) horror-esque! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

I'd love to know your thoughts, hehe!

[aedearly]

The work you do is wonderful! As someone who is a ps beginner, where do you get all those resources you use from?

Hello, hello! This question was answered in-depth here! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

[aedearly]

thanks so much for answering! honestly, i think anything in ur style would be great, but i personally would love to see anything remotely like the edendusk and the willmesh one would be amazing tbh!

Hello again, nonnie! ദ്ദി •⩊• ) I don't know if I understood your proposition correctly, however, the works you're referring to are paid commissions! I have no intentions of ever replicating their elements and general composition. However, if you share the names of styles/aesthetics you're interested in (such as floral, y2k, punk, etc.), I can see what I can do! For now, though, you'll be happy to know that I published a free sunflower pack and a new colouring PSD! Go check them out. ~ I also have a tag that you can check for my general creations, too!

hi! i LOVE ur work so much and since ur comms and waitlist are closed, i was wondefing if u’d consider releasing some kinda graphics pack? or even a template or two! that would be so amazing as ur styles r so unique and inspiring. thanks for answering if u do!!!!

Hi, nonnie! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoy my graphics so much, hehe. It always makes me very giddy to know that people are enjoying my designs (˶◜ᵕ◝˶) I have some colouring PSDs and promo templates in my WIPs folder that I look forward to sharing once I complete them. ~ However, since you mentioned graphics packs (which I assume is my usual icon border + post divider + colouring PSD pack), do you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see in my style? I'd love to hear any ideas you and others might have, and I can work around them whenever time permits!

[aedearly]

name and pronouns: salem, they/them url: (specify if single or multimuse) flamens, multi muse commission type/s: full package first time or returning commissioner?: first time ! how would you describe your customer experience?: it was amazing. balu communicates so well and is so understanding.  what did you like the most about your commission?: i gave a pinterest board for the sort of aesthetics i was looking for and balu absolutely nailed the vibes and then some. i love the direction he went in and how my ideas were incorporated into it, as well as how he showed each stage and handled any feedback. would you recommend aedearly's services to a friend?: 100% i would, not only are balu's pieces actual art he's also super kind and easy to talk to. final thoughts: you can really tell balu cares about the products he creates and how his clients feel about them, he's so creative and talented and makes such beautiful graphics. i can't stress enough how great of experience it was and how happy i am with the end pieces.

hello! i just want to say your work is absolutely stunning and has been such a delight to look through. i was wondering if you could tell me what the font you used in the commission set for the willmesh blog is? it's so pretty.

Hello, thank you so much for your kind words, nonnie! I'm happy to hear that you enjoy my work that much, hehe! I'm not sure which fonts caught your eye on this commission I made, so I'll just list the three main ones I used: 1) Cambria (for the main text), 2) Cardinal (for the titles) and 3) Zen Old Mincho (for the Japanese texts). Hopefully that helps on your editing adventures! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

[aedearly]

hii! i absolutely love your work. i've been getting into trying to make borders myself, and i was wondering if you had any tips on where to find good pngs or do you create everything yourself? i feel like my luck so far hasn't been great but maybe i just don't know how to search for it correctly!

Hello, nonnie! I'm so glad you enjoy my work; thank you for your kind words. ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ) And oh my gosh, it's so nice to see a new GFX creator in the making! One of us, one of us, one us. ~ Welcome to the wonderful world of editing, hehe!

I've compiled a list of websites that I use for my graphics, but please do let me know if you need anything else and I'll be happy to assist!

For general assets, as well as inspiration, I generally use these websites: behance (which is pretty much the industry standard when it comes to graphic design in general, they have cool studios or experienced designers that post their works and/or assets), booth (an independent japanese resources hub with many free and paid assets), huanban (an independent chinese resources hub, same proposal as booth), abdz (mostly focused on typography and branding), dribble (more focused on web applications and design) and envato (templates).

Since I'm colourblind, I'm not always confident about how to compose colours together. So whenever I'm in doubt, I use coolors (to get palettes from images and browse through palette ideas) and colorhunt (which gives ideas for palette themes and motifs).

I love typography a whole bunch, but sometimes it's hard to find that one right font for your project. Whenever I need to look for something else, I always run to these websites: google fonts (when I'm on a budget and want to use 100% free fonts, including for commercial use), 1001fonts (to quickly find fonts based on themes, it has a great tag system), dafont (a big classic huge dabatase of custom fonts), befonts (for more industry standard-leaning fonts) and kerismaker (for those magazine looks). When I want to identify a font used on an image and where I can download/purchase it, I use myfonts and font squirrel. They even give you similar options for free, too!

Suppose I'm specifically searching for illustrations/PNGs I can use on my upcoming project. In that case, I'll either go to flat icons (for websites, applications or presentations), vertex (for 3d icons and/or general vectors), graphic burger (for logo making), cleanpng (for I want a tree PNG and do not want to clean it myself, for example), pngtree (same idea as the previous one, you just search for a word and will see all PNGs related to it) and pngall (self explanatory).

Regarding backgrounds, textures, and photography in general, I rely on websites like pixabay, vecteezy, 3d ocean, morguefile, freepik and isorepublic. They have high-quality photos and videos that you can use on your projects. However, if I specifically need mockups or patterns, I turn to unblast, pacage and ava.

Besides those, you can always search for things on Deviantart and Twitter! Though I do not use those much, I think Instagram and Threads also have pages dedicated to sharing resources. Discord can be a nice place to search for graphic design servers, too.

However, if I cannot find specific resources for a commission/project for whatever reason, then I will make them myself. Be it through photography, drawing or anything else I can get my little hands on.

For the more technical/applications side, the programs I use for my graphics and edits are Adobe PhotoShop 2020, Adobe After Effects 2020, Adobe Illustrator 2020, Clip Studio Paint (for when I need to draw or polish something for specific projects/commissions), and HandBrake (for when I need to make screencaps). My drawing tablet is an oldie, Wacom One.

Hopefully, this can be a nice starting point for you! Please feel free to reblog and/or like this post if you'd like to save it for whatever purpose. ~ I hope you enjoy this journey ahead, and if you need anything else, let me know! You got this! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
