Made a vegan parody of the "got milk?" campaign, but pixel art! https://pixelglade.net.au/updatesarchive.html#got-oat-milk

Hey Eadie and fellow psychology nerd (social media really is a Skinner box), your site is really relaxing and I also hope you take your sweet time working on your blog.

New background leaf pattern, larger text and line height, and other small quality of life updates. At least, I hope so. https://pixelglade.net.au/

I did a vector redraw of one of my Saint Tail manga artworks in Inkscape. I discuss my experience trying to make vector screentones: https://pixelglade.net.au/updatesarchive.html#saint-tail-vector-redraw

My homepage comment form got spammed with 200+ comments overnight so I added a validation rule which will just flag the email notifications with (SPAM) if they contain a URL. I'll still check them, but I needed to make it easier for me to quickly check if there were likely SPAM messages.

Another blog I follow also got a typewriter recently for seemingly similar reasons (as far as I can tell). They didn't use alt text unfortunately but they took a photo of the page they wrote for a blog post: https://jamesg.blog/2025/10/19/growth

Ooh, thanks for this! You can kind of see the starry-eyed wonder that typewriters invoke. I have so far decided not to post images of my typewriting because it would require both high-res images and lots of alt text. But maybe I will one day with short bits of text.

It might be possible to simplify the process of converting full-length pages of typewriter text to alt text using OCR like tesseract or something else, but even in that case, smaller segments will probably be easier. Personally I'd like to see an example of the text your typewriter produces, out of curiosity for how the letterforms look

My experiments so far with OCR have not worked out well. You'd think it would be easy for a computer to render typewriting into text, but the program I was using actually couldn't parse several of the letters. I will consider uploading some examples of text, though. Thanks for the suggesion!

thank you so much!! I love your pixel art, especially the fantasy anime stuff! I didn't even know that was a genre...I may need to study up on my cool anime elf lore. I also really enjoyed your PC98 art history/tutorial post!
Oh thank you so much! Happy you liked the PC98 post. A lot of fantasy anime from the 90's basically fused a bunch of cultures together to create costume styles, and then a bit of classic sword and sorcery fantasy on top (like DnD). But I'm happy to talk about any of my artworks if you had any particular questions about some of them.
my only question would be: what fantasy anime would you recommend that has that mage-elf vibe? Also, I just read your Chaos comic and love the message :D
Good question... for the 90's elf vibe probably the Ruin Explorers OVA (1995), for the magical elf vibe - Record of Loddoss War OVA (1990). For the magic male elf specifically, it's kind of a fusion of a mix of non-elf characters.
Also happy you enjoyed the Chaos comic =)
adding those to my watchlist, thank you!!
