#Get Web Design Work

[synthaphone]

Finished the Royal Centibytes, in both pre- and post-conversion flavors!

I thought court jesters would be a fun change of pace from king/queen or prince/princess- there's a precedent for royals to occasionally be things like heralds and war(?)horses, and I wanted to make a royalgirl who isn't a princess, noblewoman, or queen. I got to learn a little about some historical female court jesters while looking for references, which was cool!

I agonized for a while over whether I should put eyelashes on the one that I arbitrarily assigned 'Royalgirl', but ended up deciding that they look cute.

#i'm happy with these but i feel like the proportions got away from me a bit #i was so focused with getting clear and energetic poses that fit all the limbs in that i kind of lost their lankiness #i think its partially the struggle of working with something i designed in 2018 that doesn't fit well into a 150x150 box #the lenny is also tall and gets away with leaving a lot of negative space in its circle/happy poses while not losing clarity #but its head is less complicated to draw on a small scale; there's less detail to lose #i could try to fuck with more extreme perspectives to get things to fit without sacrificing the proportions. like g1 pokemon sprites #well. that's enough outta me #my art #centibytes #neopets #i'll update my webbed site with them in a bit; i wanna eat lunch

#homestuck #art #john egbert #jade harley #jake english #jane crocker #im jast messing with designs an stuff yeah #i have many thoughts; its difficult to resist spitting them out in small bits at random but i know i should... #i want to elaborate on many thoughts and i deas in a dedicated place like my web-site; how ever it takes time and work #and often i simply keep the thought inside without verbalizing so it stays with me and i feel that i have something to work with right? #but it's hard to get to work and DO something with it

TADC's second episode was better than I expected it to be! I still think it has lingering issues of relying a little too hard on irony and language that seems - uh. Very 'how do you do, fellow internet users', while the show is supposed to be set in like. The 90's. I feel Jax is the least interesting of the cast so it's kind of obnoxious how much of the jokes he takes up.

But other than that I think the show has mellowed out a bit and actually seems intent on exploring its characters. Like as disappointed as I was about Gumigoo disappearing at the end of the episode, Pomni's character moment with him is genuinely quite touching, and it's the first time she's been allowed to actually be a character. Same with Kinger, of everyone! I really thought they were gonna play him as the CrAzY old guy forever, but no - he genuinely cares for the rest of them.

I do hope they keep up more of the character moments. I'm very biased by my latest interests but I think 'meta' media genuinely has so much untapped potential when it isn't drenched in self-protective irony'. Especially since this is a show that speaks directly to the internet - there's a lot of things like loneliness, nostalgia, and insecurity that you could address here that would be way more poignant than if the show was made by something like Cartoon Network.

#dots dots dots #the fact that the creator is a self proclaimed jax simp and a web animator first and foremost is still 🤨 to me #but like i don't that makes the show automatically bad #it's quite stunning visually and admittedly does appeal to some of my favourite design tastes #i hope it gets better #i've not been invested in much of glitch's other work #the amazing digital circus #<- hoping this doesn't appear in main

Hey holy shit I have a website now! Mmmmainly it is a portfolio atm, so it has all my big illustrations (still adding more) and a section for Tev/Dren comics and stuff.

I'm not going to stop updating my Tumblr or anything, this will be in addition to all my socials (which, uh, I have a Bluesky now so look up Hyperionwitch if you want in on that??), but I figure if people are trying to make Ye Olde Internet happen again with the personal sites and the webrings and the sparkly cursors and autoplaying MIDIs (jk I do not have that, I promise), I might as well join in.

I'm still adding to it (more illustrations and sketches coming, probably a commission section, probably a link to my TeePublic, maybe a cosplay section?, etc.), but it's working adequately for the moment.

Thanks for checking it out, if you feel so inclined! 🖤

#I started learning web design #what better way to get experience than making your own website? #there are definitely things I need to work on #but at least for the moment it's like...a website! a site that webs #as much as I love tumblr it is nice to have a portfolio site I can tell people about that's on its own #but mostly it's fun to have a space where I can do dumb little things #like have a rotating subheader full of things that entertain me #make house of leaves jokes #etc

it's really a shame I have to sell 40+ of my life hours every week for poverty wages instead of spending all my time and energy on dozens of creative and technical pursuits with unlimited resources

#nerd alert #lets see if i can list all the hobbies i wish i could be doing instead of working #drawing. both traditional and digital. painting mostly acrylic but id like to get good at watercolors. drawing/writing comics #writing in general. fiction nonfiction poetry lyrics whatever. composing music. music production. singing. practicing piano and guitar #performing someday maybe! #sculpting too. i always forget bc i never do it bc i am never in a place to justify buying clay. i should just get some #i think im fairly good at it tbh. anyway. #knitting. sewing. mending and modding clothes in general. embroidery. id like to learn to crochet at some point #photography and scrapbooking sound appealing. photo editing. #web design. game design. 3d modeling. these are all things i dont really know how to do much of but id like to #animation. voice acting. regular acting. honestly a lot of stuff in the filmmaking process sounds fascinating id like to try some of it #tarot reading. is that a hobby? im gonna say yes. jewelry making. #lots of these ive only dabbled in and some i havent even done that but would like to. but i have no time and or money to get into them. #i would hardly call myself a master at any of these. jack of all trades as it were. and thats fine im fine w that #but given the time and resources i think i could make so many different diverse perfectly average to good things #that people could enjoy in passing or say 'oh how neat :)' about

[fiomeras]

People joke that the artists leaving twitter are gonna move on to doing show and tells at the local library instead , but i actually think that sounds really nice, id love to do that

#i talk #and im kind of sick of posting on da web. sorries #it just doesn't feel right anymore ... yknow #ive felt weird about it so much recently i think its just so unnatural now that everything is almost never catered to individuals #you dont get to choose what you see nowadays. less human input and more of making you watch the equivalent of your slop of the day #and a gacha game algorithm. #yknow when gacha gamers would spend thousands on gambling hoping to get their favourite png girl #thats how tiktok works . its designed to keep you scrolling hoping youd find something you want to see #and it brings the idea the more you scroll the more youll see the thing you wanna see yknow #and most of whats being shown to you is not of your choice. you can leave your phone on one tiktok and itll be fine it doesn't really need- #our input #sometimes. youd just do that too to ''increase'' your chances of getting tiktok videos youd like sorta like a gacha game #i think its ?? not my favourite!

#Jay Talks #Neocities Tag #Trying to implement this whole thing in a website format is proving to be challenging but I'm excited to get it to work properly! #I just really love web design stuff as a story telling device #Sweepstakes has inspired me so so much #Mike #Host

*working on 10 different projects already voice* i wanna makea silly web cartoon, also.

#i just got struck with SUCH an urge to make just a shameless web cartoon #not care abt it being perfect just it being fun #anyone wanna make a story with me and do funny voices for silly characters #I'm also kinda desperate to get smth that isnt hellp on my youtube #and cq animations are gonna take forever and i dont wanna skimp out on those #i think itd be refreshing to just make a spontaneous story for a fun animation #like genuinely if you have the time and the want to work on smth like this as a passion project #hmu and lmk what you think youd be good with for smth like this. be it writing or art or design or voicing or whatever

started messing around on neocities a little bit, playing with the fonts and the colors and stuff, so here's my wip header for that site

#neocities #codeblr #html #css #just kinda wanted to do something fun and low stakes and now im trying to practically learn some web design #i think once i get like a lot a lot more practice i might be interested in web development as a career #being able to work remotely and do both design and the coding behind it is really appealing to me

[torchiiko]

sorry i was only fine for a day before i became miserable again i can go. i can just leave. since the universe seems to want me to suffer anyway

#also sorry for being so upset over not being able to buy a laptop ive just been looking forward to this for So long & now... #torn between blaming myself for being careless & the company for their stupid web design #were gonna try getting the money into my account & buying it with my card tmrw & if that doesnt work i. guess ill just give up on streaming #sadposting #vent

[tomsawyee]

Maybe this is mean spirited but I think it would actually be fucking grand if all publicly visible entertainment disappeared for a month if it would make the general public more aware of how enriched their lives are by functionally anonymous artists they have never thought twice about.

#people who get legitimately upset about strikes impacting tv and film releases #people who feed work into llm's #people who complain at independent creators for not updating their longform projects fast enough #people who think the people actually making video games are the same people responsible for the bloated corpa-driven AAA game market #people who think professional photograhy is pushing a button #people who say 'graphic design' in a job description but actually mean motion graphic artist videographer web designer & marketing director #people who throw a defensive fit when it's revealed their shiny new favorite piece of media was created under horrible working conditions #i could go on literally forever because the undervaluing of art under capitalism and our increasingly anti-collectivist world is inescapable

every time I see someone asking for a comprehensive lore/story/dialogue database or document for SSO I kick myself for not finishing that project because like. I've got basically all the pieces. It's just so much damn work that it is overwhelming.

Years back I recall SSO boasting their quest word count was over one million words. That's so much to type up and catalogue and that's not even including rewrites, which I would have to pay to replay and recatalogue (or find comprehensive play throughs)

#don't mind me I'm talking #also I am not a web designer so I have no idea how I would build or structure a site for all that info #but that's just one more thing I would have to do #which is one more thing to make it all the more overwhelming and intimidating! #but I still get mad/disappointed with myself whenever someone asks about it and I go oh yeah #this is ACTUALLY a resource people want and would use and yet. I haven't made it #mostly because it would be literally months of work #and me learning how to make a website and many decisions #anyway I'm rambling

[radioactivedadbod]

Absolutely unhinged that Neltharion is depicted as a white man when all his notable kids are people (dragons?) of color

WHERE IS THE MELANIN COMING FROM HUH

#;out of webs. #sorry to be warcraft posting I got azeroth-pilled again #granted when you make the black dragonflight. well. black / poc when you get into a WHOLE another mess #LET US NOT TALK ABOUT WRATHION'S ORIGINAL DESIGN AND MONIKER.....IT WAS AN AWFUL TIME FOR EVERYONE... #anyway trader post refresh today. that netherwing drake will be MINE. #but first...indy 5. then I'll be around to play video games and Maybe work on the Time Papa blog #even if I don't RP on that blog I wanna do some world building shit it scratches my brain real nice

[quitedisastrous]

i think holding a cat of some sort would alleviate most of my issues. but alas i will not be home for 93 hours

#queued rambles #i have a stats exam and a french test tomorrow and girl i do not have faith in either of them. gonna study from ~8 to 10:30 #take the stats test (as it's in class) #study for the french test for 20 minutes. and then take the french test with just enough time to get it done before the 3pm due date #and the uh. whammo. done. i can go work on my website i guess #hehe i should have enough to snag a domain for 2 years tomorrow. excited for it. should be pretty sick since i'm actively taking web design #anyways ourgggg i'm going to eat something and then go to sleep (lay in bed and browse reddit until 11-12) in preparation for tomorrow. #3pm will be here before i know it.

I'm awake... And let it be known that while I was in a manic state of getting that post bout Mel up, I was confused frozen by the "Wanted to work as a full-time fashion designer one day" cuz I didn't realize that (i was like possessed by his ghost i swear to god it was the realization of a lifetime) until I typed it out and I was like "wai why haven't he worked as one now? what... have i been doing..."

It was like a moment where I realized that I was like an absent mom to him where I know so much bout his past but nothing bout his present so now I gotta write bout him more else I'd explode.

#aria rants #i think i slept at 5 am i swear i was like just laying in my bed #eyes closed and tryna sleep but sleep wont come to me and hours passed and now im awake #i woke up at like 9:30 am and i refuse to go back to sleep cuz thats the earliest ive woken up in a while #also like mel has the resources to work as a full-time fashion designer bro like bro... im sorry dear mama is a bit of a failure #how am i gonna put ''friends with alec and ray'' and not him getting to work his dream job #yes alec and ray are part of the resources those two are walking networking webs #they can introduce mel to ppl that can help with his dream job bro #and even support him with it fully like theyre very supportive ppl #WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING BRO OMHYGOD

something I’ve learned as a graphic designer for mostly just school sports, is that most schools have very particular brand guides, but are very stingy with sharing them

#AND that it’s actually easy to find their brand guides for print/web #but SUPER HARD to find the guides for their sports and mascot logos #and they’re /2 different sets of guidelines/ #anyways I want to SCREAM #I want to make your logo correctly but you haven’t given/told me your font and you get mad at me when I don’t have your font #But also I know it’s bc the person who did the branding is NOT the person dealing with the ordering #and the person dealing with the ordering is not someone who’s in design at all so they don’t know what I mean when I say I don’t have a fon #like sure I have a logo w your font #but the logo is curved and /doesn’t actually contain font info/ #anyways lol #dumb work stuff I just wanted to vent #Non fandom #Lea speaks
