#webbed asks

[ninacti0n]

I'm so curious what inspired your blog's theme!! It reminds me of a more psychedelic and colorful version of cookie clicker's aesthetic Also. Do you take kindly to like spam

Ohhh!! That's a super sweet ask, thank you <3 I just kind of wanted something that felt equally painterly and dreamy, like a fun place for me to post my arts and chill. I wasn't really thinking on a particular theme, tho I remember I was also listening to the album "Trench" from Twenty One Pilots while I painted it. I'm also curious on the Cookie Clicker aesthetic, I've never seen it, only heard of it from others! And last but not least- yes, I don't mind like spams! Go ahead! Tho reblogs are always greatly appreciated too haha x] They help a ton! Thank you so much for the ask!!

Found your neocities and came here! Your art style scratches my brain in the best way possible, i can’t stop looking at it!

Gosh, I was trying to find time to reply x'] That's super sweet of you!! I've got a bunch of funky plans and ideas for it in the future, things that are halfway through baking and others that are nearing release! Seeing you peeps' excitement is super encouraging <3 = - = - =

Thank you so much!!

Did you update your site?! I didnt notice the coding part in rresources before! And the new adopts corner and backgrounds!

Oh, you saw it lol- I only added some new badges to it! More like a sneak peek on my characters' page ^^ I've been working on stuff for a while, and I'm slowly but surely getting to the meat n' potatoes of them- I'd updated these bits some time ago! Still have to add more stuff ★

Cucumber guy here.

I was not the last person before the cucuumber post.. which means danger because there was another tumblr user hiding in there....horrific. . >:O

Anyway, I'm home now and checking out neocities after i saw your site.

Gotta admit, slightly terrifying to stare at a blank html page then checking out your page and some others. How long did it take for you to "get the hang" of some things?

Oh wow, so it was a coincidence! That makes things even weirder lol- And yeah, it's surprisingly jarring to see those blank HTML pages and then go to other coded sites lol- I can say it brings some neat inspiration! I remember dedicating 2-3 weeks of study to learn both HTML n' CSS, and can say feeling inspired by my friends' pages was so motivating... I still remember back when I had potato knowledge of web design, and realizing how much it all grew is gratifying in a very particular way ★

cucumber guy again.. tumblr insta terminated my account for some reason.. So I gotta borrow my friend's account :'(

I wanted to check out if neocities is like wordpress.com.. only to find out its just html from scratch. Youre telling me you made the CODE too? :O

Yup! Pretty much that. I studied HTML and CSS from the Mozilla articles and built everything with hand coding (+ some help from the internet on certain bits lol) It's still one big work in progress, but I'm pretty happy with it so far!

[ninacti0n]

Holy moly!! LOVELY SITE. Genuinely lovely. I would love to have a site like yours one day! The colors are wonderful to stare at!!!

And your OCs are so different and dont suffer from same face syndrome.. Jealous!!

Greetings from a new neocities user!!

AWW THANK YOU!! ★ * I'm honestly still really happy so many people are enjoying my site, even after all this time- I've been working on some updates for it, and hope I get to work more on it soon ^^ I'm also so happy you like my dear OCs eee- I'm a sucker for funky fellas and shaped designs, so you can bet it means a whole lot to me! And lastly, I salute you, newcoming neocitizen! Hope you enjoy the wonderfully chaotic world of web design and old school energy .<.

Your website just blew my mind. Absolutely beautiful! I was wondering if you used a dithering tool, specifically the ones you linked in the resources area, to add texture to some of your stuff, such as the 'mood of the week" area? How did you get it to look so..noisy?

Awww, thank you so much!! Really flattered you enjoyed all the crunchiness I managed to pack into it! ★ I'm a sucker for noise textures, and I always default to experimenting with them a LOT! For the 'mood of the week', I actually used this feature within IbisPaint called Noise! You can mess with it to get a certain degree of control with the blending modes, and also how intense the effect is ^^ I like mine very crunchy, so I tend to balance the heftiness of the effect with blending modes like Overlay or Soft/Hard Light. FireAlpaca has it too if it's more your thing! For my background textures, I used Krita and Dither Me This, which is an online ditherer! I went through it not only as an aesthetic choice, but also as a plan - It's very VERY important to keep your images at very small sizes, to reduce loading times! It doesn't work for transparent images though, so I recommend Gyng's Ditherer for that instead. Both are on my Resources page! Also... if you're still wanting more pixels, you could set the image rendering on the body as pixelated through the CSS! Just type in image-rendering = pixelated (replace the equal with the colon, can't do it cause Tumblr lol), and there you go! Your images shouldn't appear blurry or weird if they're slightly tilted! I honestly LOVE talking about web design as much as I enjoy making it happen, so you can bet I'm having a field day rn xD Thank you SO SO MUCH again!!
