Where do you get patterns/textures from?

[Harry]

I have a few questions I'm going to ask here, so please stick with me!

When you get new patterns for clothes (or even textures for hair), where do you get them from? Do you find them on the internet, or do you create them yourself? 

If you find them on the internet, where from? And what are the general rules on here for crediting that kind of thing?

If you create them yourself, any tips for doing that?

I'm especially interested in patterns for clothes right now - but this applies to textures for anything else too!!

Oh, and while am at it, I have the same questions about tattoos. Do people make them themselves?

Thanks for any help! I'm going about building a resource library for hexing babyz right now

I often get patterns from Google. If I want a fox pattern for example, I will google "seamless fox pattern" and then shrink what I find accordingly.
When it comes to making hair textures, I use the game ones as a base for the pattern, and I'll just change the color. If it's an extra textured one (like ℓacey ☀️'s Cocoa's chocolate chip hair), I usually draw the texture and layer it in Adobe so it looks realistic.
For tattoos, I usually find pixel art. If I can't find what I need, I draw it myself. I love drawing pixel art :3

^^I've always wanted to learn pixel art but I'm not very good at it xD

Also I get textures from here:
babyz.org
Under bmp shop, though you may have found those haha.
Otherwise I normally look online like tina says!
And if I use pixels I try to find ones that aren't on DA with "don't not use" in the description lol. Otherwise I'll feel bad xD

Thanks guys! You're saying exactly what I would have thought you would

I saw some pokemon patterns today so I am veeeeery tempted to make a clothes set with them...

You should! Especially if it has Pokeballs or Vulpix.

Lol this week keeps reminding me I made a pokeball shirt and forgot to put it up. Pokemon clothes would be cool though! On Wikipedia, each pokemon has a cute little pixel image I think I may look at those later but more pokemon shirts and bottoms would be cool!

[Harry]

I think it would be super cool to do some kind of group project to make at least one piece of clothing per the original gen 1 pokemon. Oooor, if we wanted to go hardcore, all the pokemon ever.

But I'm thinking not just shirts because that would be a bit repetitive, but any type people want. So someone could make some pikachu socks, a squirtle hat, mew shorts, etc etc. And I think it would be cool to do it as a group because then there would be loads if different styles!
