Childhood, trees, websites, pc’s…oh my!

Well my site revamp is about three quarters of the way done. All that’s left is to draw something for the about/profile page and of course to upload everything. Still very much in love with the whole damask pattern for layouts. And some how it gives the whole website a sort of “classier” look to things. Not that I haven’t seen classy looking artsites that use solid or vibrant colours.

Came across this entry on deviantArt challenging people to redraw whatever they used to draw when they first started out in art. For me, it was trees in the sun/ So of course this calls for….VECTOR TRESS AND SUNS WHOOOO! Now just to find a way to not make it look like every other abstract nature scene out there.

Tumble my website!

Been a while since I’ve updated this blog, but have no fear, I’m still alive and kicking! So Anime North came and went since my last update. Photos were taken and the experience was written about. Now that the convention excitement is over, time to get back to the business of art! So I’ve been posting little screenshots and works in progress on my tumblr. With that in mind, last night I started working on a little header image, just a matter of figuring out what to add text wise to the empty space. Also I’d like to finish the revamping the site by the end of the month, if not early August. With that in mind, I made a couple of little tweaks to the frontpage design that I had in the work. Almost tempted to livestream my progress, but then how interesting is it to see someone write line after line of css as opposed to drawing, inking and colouring a picture and watching it come to life? Either way, stay tuned! Last but not least…would any of you ladies out there marry any of these charming gentlemen?

I swear I saw the viking guy at AN this year!

A little PSA!

Did some more tinkering with website revamp and managed to finish off the gallery page. Ended up condensing four of the subsections into one, making things nice and clean. All that’s left is to finish the front page and working on the pages that contain walls of text information about the site and it’s web mistress(me). You never really think about how much is involved in developing and maintaining a site until you try it yourself. Eyeopening.

The girliest site on the internets!

Still diligently working on revamping the site(revel in the girly colour scheme!), it’s amazing how much work is involved in getting things to look just how you envisioned graphically, let alone making sure that the coding is correct. Imagine, you have a set of transparent gif banners that photoshop claims are completely transparent only to add them to a test page and have an ugly, horribly pixelated, white outline around them. Not much fun, so after a couple of tries, along with looking through youtube tutorials, that was rectified. Transparent gif matting…it’s your friend. Guess it’s all one big learning experience, once the gallery page is up and running, it’s just a matter of doing some typing and done! How some people can have the patient to arrange hundreds of pieces of artwork, over a span of 5 or more years…is just amazing. Thank goodness for junk folders!

Happy to see the facebook getting more likes, been trying to change the url of the page to something easier, apprently it needs at least 25 fans in order to change things. So here’s the plan, as soon as 25 or more people like the page, however that happens, I’ll have a little draw for a free wallpaper or some kind of gift art. People like free stuff and I like making stuff for people, works out nicely. So tell your friends to like THIS page and free stuff will be drawn!

Fan page anyone?

Been working on my mock layout in Dreamweaver and in Photoshop and learned of the wonderful world of tables, definitely a lot easier than the weird way everything was set up before. Div tables and simple backgrounds are your friends people! As part of the whole site revamp plan, guess who made a fan page! Be sure to take a look or possibly like it! Now back to html coding.
