Main pages

  • Add more resources to the resources page (and give it a facelift);

Future things

  • Writing some game reviews on titles I've played;
  • Figuring out some trickier mechanics for certain pages;
  • Actually making simple games using JS (and properly studying it);
  • Interactive pages, specially those that require a point n' click mechanic;
  • Maybe some collectibles? I would enjoy to implement a mechanic to collect images around the site;
  • Certain secrets and things that require codes and numbers scattered across the pages;
  • Getting all my possible error pages to be styled;
  • Some other things I'm not remembering at the moment...
  • September 2, 2025 - I received a confirmation email on my MS Paint fanlisting entering the Fanlisting Network, which is awesome to hear! I also followed the lady's advice on the email to improve the fanlisting and fix some issues, so it would work great!
  • August 21, 2025 - A silly update! I've been working on my About, finally taking out some dust from the code and streamlining some of the process. I still have a bunch of things I wish to rewrite and add, but that's part of the process! The layout is still holding up pretty neatly imo!
  • August 19, 2025 - And guess what? I'd forgotten to apply one of my fixes to the guestbook, so it stood broken for a bit :'/ I think it's FINALLY working well, I just need to figure out the rest.
  • August 17, 2025 - Had to implement a math captcha on my guestbook, since a bot was being an absolute pain to deal with. I really hope things work out this time?
  • August 16, 2025 - New blog post is out!! I finally finished writing about editing images using the DSi... getting all the images saved in my console took a bit longer than I expected, but I can say it turned out pretty neat!
  • August 14, 2025 - Chattable is the new comment box! I replaced the one I tried to use in my blog comment list. I was having issues logging in, so getting this to work is superb to me! Even better than I can reuse the CSS for other ones too!
  • August 13, 2025 - I'm finally fixing the changelog and the to-do list for my homepage! I sadly left these collecting dust for an unholy amount of time, but it's good that I'm actually getting around to fixing things in this place. Hopefully I'll make it a habit to update these more often!
  • August 12, 2025 - It was absolute heck to figure this guestbook out, since its issues grew to be worse. It was a battle to get things right. In the middle of the scrambled code, I decided to start again and just tackle each issue individually, until it was all working for me and everyone else. I still spot bots, but at least this is being better!
  • August 11, 2025 - My fanlisting was approved by the network, and so I had to make sure I implemented all the requisites they'd mentioned. I even tried to achieve a certain level of mobile responsiveness, which was good enough to send the forms and keep track of the members! Pretty proud of all of it, honestly.
  • August 8, 2025 - I implemented some bigger QoL changes to the guestbook, such as a basic mod panel for myself, and ways to just delete some unwanted comments from bots, or just inappropriate messages. Some of it is still behaving weirdly though...
  • August 2, 2025 - Something rather simple, but I added a comment box to my Blog page! That way, I'll get to chat with you folks about the posts and just have a nice time!
  • July 21 - 23, 2025 - During ArtFight procrastination (and trying to recover my mojo), I worked on the MS Paint fanlisting! After some debate, I figured it would be a fun idea, since the Fanlisting Network never had one for it. Figuring out a system from scratch was tricky, since I refused to use some of their older scripts, but it worked pretty well! I can say I'm happy.
  • April to June 2025 - I just worked on my gallery, prepared my portfolio for uni, posted some stamps online and kept on developing other pages, such as my About. Those months have been incredibly busy, and while I did burn out, I can say I had fun! It really gave me joy to see my gallery finally in its full glory... at least as full as it can be. I still need to finish writing the descriptions and whatnot.
  • May 5, 2025 - My obsession with making my own stamps began... I'm not joking. Learning how to use Gimp, Ezgif and Photopea combined for this is an amazing workflow. I could spend HOURS just doing these. Even better when Pinterest and gif sites have an infinite supply of things I could use.
  • March 18, 2025 - I made a Ko-Fi to support the site's development! I'm still off to making a banner for it, but I'm pretty excited about it!
  • March 9 to 16, 2025 - I stood wrestling with a custom guestbook, just so that I could figure out why it wasn't letting people post, or why the emojis weren't rendering. I still feel this will be agony to build upon...
  • March 7, 2025 - New blog post out! The CSS in the page is still fairly simplistic, but I like it ^^ I'm feeling like adding a tiny pagedoll to the bottom of the screen as well. Maybe later I will.
  • March 3, 2025 - The Cool Stuff page was created! I'm honestly surprised with how fast it took me to just make this page. I just sketched the concept, something a la frutiger aero/Sonic CD, then I planned out stuff properly. My favorite part was probably the music player! I wanted to set the mood for the page, and I think I did a nice job with it.
  • February 28, 2025 - The bad news? I unfortunately had the inconvenience of my site getting suspended on Infinityfree, due to the high traction :'/ The good news? I did manage to find HelioHost as an alternative, and managed to secure my hosting for one dollar! The interface is really good too, I like how practical Plesk is in comparison to the one that Infinityfree used.
  • February 20, 2025 - Version 2.0 of my site is finally released for good! I picked Infinityfree as a host for it, since I didn't want to pay twice for the Supporter tag and the domain. I still choose to stay in Neocities' community, since it's a nice way to keep track of my updates, and be in touch with you folks!
  • December 16, 2024 - I really wanted to add a blog functionality as I developed my revamp, so I found bearblog.dev! It's surprisingly solid with what it offers, and also super simple in terms of interface and writing your posts! Setting it up in my blog page was as easy as putting the link inside an iframe and fixing its position in the grid. Can recommend, it's very practical!
  • November 16, 2024 - Currently still planning the revamp changes, working hard on the designs and how I wanted the pages to be. Today, my dad gifted me the .art domain for my birthday, which is a huge surprise! I'm more motivated to keep on updating thanks to that.

    • ARCHIVED LOGS

  • Nov 1, 2023 - It's hilarious how there's a huge time gap in this changelog, hoo boi- I've done some quality of life updates throughout the months, but right now I'm starting to add new pages and polish assets!
  • Apr 18, 2023 - Teehee, I've moved the subpages to a proper folder and created a specific folder for the iframe HTMLs! More organization for future plans-
  • Apr 2, 2023 - I've been in the mood for animating, and felt like revamping the good ol' bullets for the navbar! I'm super proud of them lol, they look super goofy :D
  • Mar 28, 2023 - Gosh, it took me forever to finally update the textures in the guestbook, but all the work paid off :'D They arrived today!
  • Mar 17, 2023 - Woo, one more asset just came out! I painted the traditional art icon this time :D Can't wait to work on other stuff soon!
  • Mar 15, 2023 - I added two new assets to my about page today, from the digital art icon to some extra cables and wires I drew for the Winamp lol. Hope you enjoy it!
  • Mar 12, 2023 - Now we're talking! I managed to find a JS system that works for multiple images, just like I needed :D I'll also be updating a bunch of new things soon, so stay tuned!
  • Mar 8, 2023 - I know I went poof for WAY too long this time, and I apologize :'1 I was busy with so many things, both art and life wise, that I couldn't get in the right mindset to go back to working on the site. Well, it's time to change this today! I'll be implementing the JS overlay system and testing it as I go.
  • Jan 24, 2023 - Nearly half a month later, I returned! This time, with the Graphics corner finally ready to open! I hope you enjoy all the graphics I painted/collected for it :D
  • Jan 13, 2023 - Phew, I've been working on a lot of stuff these past days! I got into the Funky Webring, finally assembled the Coding 101 section, and I'm moving on to developing the Graphics corner! I'm still gonna add a bunch of tutorials n' tips to the Coding section though, such as the Iframe modal gallery and some things I've learned about grids lol.
  • Jan 8, 2023 - I'm now part of the Geekring, and proceeded to update my footers with the actual year lol. I'll see if I'll have enough energy to update other stuff though :P
  • Dec 26-28, 2022 - I might've burned my brain way too much with that code, but the creative zone is finally online! It's gonna be easier for me to add images to the galleries later on as well, so I'm excited with the fact I already took a roadblock out of the way. Also hope to update the resources page with the coding 101 area, where I'll pop up a modal with HTML, CSS and JS tutorials! Cool, right?
  • Dec 18, 2022 - After lots of searching, I think I finally found the fonts I liked! I already implemented them in my main pages, and hope to mess with some others in specific parts on the site. Also optimized my JS' loading time n'learned a bunch of new stuff!
  • Nov 23, 2022 - I finished painting one of the pictures of my about page, and hope to test some new textures in the resources page tomorrow... we'll see!
  • Nov 20, 2022 - The structure of the resources page is done! I've added a handful of cool links to sites, tools and little random things. I'll also add tutorials and other stuff in there soon.
  • Nov 8, 2022 - A bunch of struggles later, I figured out why my font was misbehaving all this time... FontSquirrel had actually crunched its angles, and had to redo my font kit all again. This time, I did it without it changing a single bit of it!
  • Nov 6, 2022 - It took me WEEKS to get the about page finally polished enough, but it was certainly worth it! I got a layout I'm proud of, and can say I'm pretty satisfied with how I conveyed all the info there. I just need to finish up other assets... and rest.
  • Nov 1, 2022 - Gosh dang, that was one heck of a break since my last update xD Today, I finally figured out the solution to my grid system's weird quirks on the home page. Everything should perform as intended now!
  • Oct 8-9, 2022 - I finished painting a pagedoll for the ENTER page, and used media queries to make it accessible on mobile. Still working on the about page though-
  • Oct 2, 2022 - My stylesheets are finally all organized in a single folder! And I added a new mood to the mood panel.
  • Sep 28, 2022 - I've got some brand new textures in the works, and already have a more solid structure for my about page! I just gotta write and add more stuff in it haha. Might add it today or tomorrow, idk.
  • Sep 22, 2022 - After some time wrapping my head around some js logic, I managed to get a random fact generator to work for my fun fact panel! All facts were chosen by yours truly! :D
  • Sep 16, 2022 - I've began recording my original tracks and finally added a player with one of them to the page! I also hope to finish my pagedoll today xD
  • Sep 13, 2022 - I added two new assets to the page, repainted the fun fact panel (wasn't happy with it) and added a unique visitor counter!
  • Sep 12, 2022 - The preload isn't immediate, but it's certainly faster now! I'm almost done with my pagedoll animation and will finish all the other textures I need to make for the main page. Then... I'll begin to work on my about.
  • Sep 9, 2022 - I finished painting some ads and added them to the main page! Also hope to add the first mood/aesthetic to the mood panel soon!
  • Aug 31, 2022 - I began to move on to other sections of the site, starting by the socials tab! I also tweaked some stuff in the media queries for the ENTER page.
  • Aug 27, 2022 - I painted a longer background for the ENTER page, and added some info a bit below with what type of thing you guys and visitors should expect.
  • Aug 26, 2022 - It didn't seem, but my grid system was a mess, and I finally gained some courage to fix it with the devtools' help! Now I'm a lot more confident about moving on to the other sections!
  • Aug 25, 2022 - Finished painting the fun fact panel, made some new textures, added box shadows (erm, neons) to my divs, and removed the hotlinking from the buttons!
  • Aug 22, 2022 - Thanks to Oaaky's help, I managed to fix the inner margin of my headings and paragraphs! I'm so glad I finally fixed that problem lol, it was bugging me for a while and couldn't figure it out!
  • Aug 21, 2022 - A minor update, but I figured out how to make my images look crisp with the image-rendering property! Now they look pixel perfect regardless of the display!
  • Aug 18, 2022 - Finally added a guestbook using the HTML Comment Box! It wasn't easy to figure out how to propely customize it, but things went smooth after I got the hang of it. I also finished animating my first ad (it isn't clickable yet, but it shall be soon...)
  • Aug 9, 2022 - Using some simple media queries, I managed to fix the ENTER button on mobile view!
  • Aug 8, 2022 - It was a struggle, but after lots of experimenting, I managed to develop a nice-looking structure for my page! I'll still add a lot of things to it, but it's an awesome start!
  • Aug 6, 2022 - After taking some time to get used to VS Code, I've finally started to implement the grid layout on my pages! It's being a little clunky, but I'm learning my way around it. My workflow is a lot faster now, and can tell my pages will take shape a lot quicker!
  • Aug 4, 2022 - Returning to the usual updates, I finished making and adding my own font for most of my text, and will work on a more stylized one in the future for certain things! I also hope to get to work on more assets, such as ads and icons!
  • Jul 10, 2022 - Finally fixed the button animation and added this changelog! I'm figuring out how to make containers, so this was a great way of testing it out!
  • Jul 9, 2022 - Nearing the end of my CSS studies, I painted a definitive background for the first page and fixed the button position! It's like concluding an arc, I would say.
  • 5, 2022 - Already during ArtFight, I tested some background textures and pictures I made myself. I did manage to focus after that, resuming work with plenty of energy (and being done with character art for a while haha)
  • Jun 26, 2022 - I implemented the ENTER button, together with some quality of life changes. My index still looked fairly barebones, but the joy of creating my own assets was there. I also started to create my own font!
  • Jun 22 (?), 2022 - I finished setting up all the basic stuff for my main pages (including the header design and site button), and started to dive into CSS for good. It was a bit of a steeper learning curve, but I had fun regardless!
  • Jun 15-18, 2022 - I kept on expanding the site as I learned more HTML, while adding some minor CSS to make things look a bit better.
  • Jun 14, 2022 - The lab was born, and so did my web design journey! Everything looked pretty raw back then.
Scarecat: for all the valuable help on debugging and fixing trickier code, plus all the help on some of my web design ideas. Thank you, Scare!
Midifreak: for the little theme song you composed for me in payment for art, now at the jukebox at the Cool Stuff page! Also hey, your are in my site now :] Thank you, Abby!
Bunfluff: for letting me know of the Flipnote Studio brushes from a DA post, which I used all around my assets ^^ The crusty texturing is pretty awesome! Thank you, Elly!
Lukuak: for telling me about Neocities and inspiring me to make my website! You have a sick website too :] Thank you, Lu!
June: for the fascinating audio player code, used for the jukebox! I never really liked the default ones, I crave my customization. Thank you, June!
And here, I thank everyone who felt like supporting the development of this site, whether by sticking along, commenting something nice in my Neocities feed, or by enjoying the new assets, art and pages. I can't stress how much it means to me, since, well... if it depended on me, I would've given up on all of this.
Last but not least, I must give the most important thanks... I thank God. Without Him, I would be probably depressed, not creating anything else anymore, and just feeling really empty. Life was really rough on me these past years, and for a good while, I wasn't feeling anything out of my own art. I also felt like people didn't care about me, or my art, or whatever else I was trying to tell with my own work. Art was an escapism to life's problems, and when I ran dry on it, I felt like a failure in the world I belonged to. And yet, there was this tug in me that wouldn't let me crash to the ground for good.

It was when I remembered why I made the site in the first place. Mom knew something was up, and asked if I was happy with what I had. I didn't know. She then asked me... "why do you keep going then? You could just not do it anymore if it's not making you happy". But art always gave me some sort of joy, regardless of my mood. I always had this inspiration calling me back to it, at the back of my mind. So then, what was different?

Maybe back then, I didn't care about finding an audience or fit in among others, or maybe I lacked the rush to get a portfolio done for uni. And then it hit me. I didn't make the move to post art or draw to "be seen". And the site did start off as a portfolio, but it was just an art project, for myself, to explore what I could do. There was no pressure on having so many people looking at it. All I wanted was to make something I would like seeing, tell stories I would enjoy experiencing, and do it well, regardless if I belonged in a niche or people liked what I had. Being authetic was always my main thing. And while I don't regret stepping out of some socials, deleting my site would've left a bigger wound, and I know full well I wouldn't forgive myself for it.

...So I got up, and started again, from scratch, with a different outlook. Making things for myself, for fun, but not just to quench my own need to do so. I saw how that went. This time, I acknowledged the light at the end of the tunnel, the reason why art used to bring me joy. And well, I can say my journey is only beginning, and being alive is one blessing I'll forever be grateful for - I wish to live long enough to tell stories and follow my artistic vein. It's in my soul.
