Thanks for following. I was having trouble navigating on your site so opened the page source and mostly got pages and pages of ASCII art which was much more horrifying reading in source, it felt like it was coming out of the code at me. So that was an impressive bit of techno horror. But the reason I was looking is I couldn't exactly pinpoint how your navigation bar works. It looks like labels not links (a href) tags

You wrote you're still learning CSS but it looks like you've done a lot with CSS selectors and filters, so I wondered why you chose to use hidden radio buttons for navigation links instead, unless you're just continuing the techno horror glitch aesthetic... well, it's working in that sense... but it makes it really difficult to navigate

Hi, thank you for your message! I wanted to make a page just to practice/learn better CSS. I read about checkbox and radio inputs and decided to make it a single page instead of using iframes (just because it's more complicated to do it, and it sounded cool to have the whole site in a single file), but I don't really have much to put on it (I didn't want to repeat my other sites)

so navigation is really just Notes, Links and the optional color switches (my original design), the rest is stuff I added later to play around and I consider more as "exploration", like click around you may find more color options, reveal hidden text, or display other ASCII art, I wanted them hidden, like someone got curious about the flashing text or blinking stars and clicked on it and discovered what it reveals

a bunch of silly little secrets and easteregg hunts hehe, I really liked your "techno horror glitch aesthetic" description!

ah, about how it works, the stuff on the main section and the sidebar are all there but with display none, the radio buttons change it to display flex, and the stars have opacity 0 and the radio buttons play an animation that changes their opacity for a few secs, so all the elements are there on the page the whole time, they are just not visible

Thanks for explaining! I didn't even think to check the URL bar, so yeah I can see now it's all on one page.

:D (it's not just on the code though, I just added a button to help finding them on the page)

I love your illustrations, you have such a good grasp of vibrant colours and rendering reflected light (like the pencil drawing in pen and graphite). Also wasn't expecting to see blockprint Rena. Thanks for the follow btw!

thank you! i really like your pixel art, and your video/post on pc-98 (and 88) graphics is rly interesting. i think the use of more limited palettes is something that appeals to me both in regard to printmaking and pixel art. (and yes i love higurashi hehe!)

Hello! thank you for following, I like your Pokemon shrine - hope you enjoy Pokemon Fire Red! I'm curious how you find it compared to the later games, I started with Yellow so I sometimes wonder how the earlier Pokemon games are for those who started with the later generations.

I updated the Krita brush set (meta-data update and brush dynamics fix). If anyone who uses this brush set updates to the new version notices any problems with loading the brushes please let me know so I can fix them. https://pixelglade.net.au/resources/freebies/ditheringbrush.html

wait there exists brush sets for krita? that makes sense but why didn't anybody tell me about this?????

pixelglade's avatar pixelglade 2 weeks ago

@kirbydogs yeah! I started looking into Krita seriously when Clip Studio Paint announced it would make 2.0 a subscription model (and someone asked about porting the Clip Studio Paint brush set). You can import brushes using the Settings > Manage Resources > Import, or Settings > Manage Resources Library. There are a lot of brush sets and other tools available on the Krita Artists forum.

reading your veganism page made me realize I've been doing the crowding-out method without knowing it lol

pixelglade's avatar pixelglade 3 weeks ago

@eadiebug Actually I was the same. I didn't know it was called that until maybe half a year after I went vegan and had already finished the process. But I've found ot helpful for explaining to others how I did it.
