If you look at the brush sheets page I've made a new layout for the content pages. I have already coded it for that page (duh). Um... this might come at a quite a strange time, since I've just anounced that I'm going on a hiatus. Well, I thought that this is actually a great opportunity to work a bit more on Details. It's really easy to update and making resources has always been very relaxing for me. So, I'm still going on a hiatus (having to update all my sites is just too much right now), but I'm going to keep this one active-ish :)

I'm going to code the other pages tomorrow I think and hopefully I'll remember to finally answer my mails.

I've made two new brush sheets which contain 7 new brushes (paint splatter and strokes). I've also added six fireworks stock images.

I've added three abstract textures and three bokeh textures. Again, more textures are coming soon.

I've added three abstract textures and three bokeh textures. I've finished more textures, but I'll upload those another time (smaller batches mean more updates hurhur, okay no, I'm just being lazy).

New layout! I'm on a roll, heheheh. As usual, this is only attempt number 588923789278. I'm pretty happy with how the layout turned out, pretty colors you know. Almost all resources used are made by me. I only used some brushes that I didn't make, but yeah... that isn't a big deal.

So, I want to work more on Details. I've neglected it for so long. Poor thing. Haha, no, but I will make more resources and maybe even graphics. I'm now working on a new batch of bokeh textures, so check back soon for those :) (I've currently finished 9 new textures, o boy #excitement. Sorry, hashtags are lame, I know.)

Anyway, that is also why I haven't transfered the old news posts. To encourage myself to update more and fill this huge empty space.

Welcome to Details, a resources and graphics site run by me, Nienke. The site opened in 2010 as Nienke's Resources, but has been renamed and revamped as of february 2012.

Details offers a large selection of several textures (bokeh, light, abstract, fractal and much more), stock images (both paper and firework stocks), brush sheets, PNG's and other resources (such as blank bases and web resources).

Please read my rules before you continue. It's much appreciated. Also, if you ever have a question about my resources or graphics, you can always drop me a mail!

1. You have to give credit if you use my resources anywhere on a petpage or off site. Credit like this: "Resource(s) used" from Details. Please name all the things you've used (not just one thing) and link back to /~liahness.
2. Do not redistribute my resources and do not use them to make your own resources.
3. Please do not use my bases for requests or premades, if you want to offer this kind of content, you should be able to make everything yourself.

It's completely fine with me if you alter my resources (e.g. Recoloring, resizing). Of course you would still have to give credit and it is still not okay to redistribute them.

Textures/Stock images
Drag the image to the address bar to see a larger version of it. If you want to use a texture or stock image, you can simply copy and paste the image.

Light textures. The ones with a dark background: Set the layer to lighten or screen. The lighter ones: I usually set the layer to soft light, but try to experiment!
Misc. textures. Since they're all so different, just try all blend modes. This is what I always do, never just stick to overlay or somthing like that. For the scratch texture you can best set the layer to Color dodge (black background) or Color burn (white background).
Stock images. The paper stocks work great for backgrounds, while the firework stocks can be used for light effects (set the layer to screen or lighten).

Brush sheets
It doesn't matter what program you use, but you have to save the images to your computer first. This because the backgrounds of the sheets are transparant and will show up all black when you try to copy and paste.

Photoshop. Open the sheet in photoshop. Then select the lasso tool (L) (you can use any selecting tool, but I like this one best!). Use the lasso tool to make a selection of the brush and then go to Edit » Define Brush...
Other programs. Try poogle to look for some tutorials, I wouldn't know!

Other resources and graphics
PNG's. In order to use them, you have to save these to your computer first. If you decide to copy and paste, the background will turn black instead of transparant (and then what would be the point of using PNG's right?). Open the file in your graphics program to work with it.

Backgrounds. You could decide to use them as they are now, in that case you only have to copy the url and paste it into this code: body {background:url("URL")} (this has to be pasted between style tags)
You could also decide to edit the background and in that case you can copy the image (you'll have to go to the url first) and edit it in your program.
The other stuff. If you want to edit something, just copy and paste.
