See, while I don't put much stock in the artistic quality of all my sketches, I love seeing other people's digital sketchbooks and development art! So maybe someone would find value in them.
Wait, to clarify: my development sketches aren't sketched with artistic quality in mind, since their point is to flesh out an idea. Looking good is for illustrations. If that makes sense.
YES YES YES DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WOULD BE SO COOL TO SEE YOUR PROCESS!!!!!
On the mind because I'm going to see a performance of Brahms, Schoenberg, and Franck at the end of the week
I've been pondering this same idea basically since I started my site, but A) my memory is shit, B) I am old and have attended 100s of concerts, C) I would hate to leave any out that I forgot, D) I don't remember all dates/lineups/locations - just experiences.
And also if I wanted to be really thorough and include very local concerts, I would essentially be doxxing myself
Where do you get your public domain images? These ones are really good :-)
@anolesquailsandmaybecattails Sorry for the late reply, oops! I mainly get mine from the British Library Flickr and Old Book Illustrations !
It's so beautiful! May I ask how it works? (Like do you use an extrenal guestbook provider?)
@theliterarybisexual It uses a discord webhook! I followed this tutorial: https://learn.sadgrl.online/create-a-form-on-neocities-using-discord/
Ah that's very clever, thank you for the link! Will you then manually post the comments to the website? (Sorry for all the questions, I've been looking into different ways of creating my own guestbook and I really like yours!)
It's gorgeous. The way you've tilted the sections so they look like postcards or letters is amazing. I actually really like you've approached this using Javascript (Webhook to Discord is a great idea) I was actually thinking of using something similar to set up a comment box, since I don't like using third party applications that are probably collecting extra info and all that, so nice work. :)
@pixelglade Thank you very much !! Yeah, I held off on getting a comment box for a while because of the same reason. Special thanks to sadgrl for the webhook idea!
I've been procrastinating on my guestbook for the same reason so it's great to see an alternative!
nice!! Ive recently made a guestbook by using javascript to send me an email; this discord method looks really clean too :o
I feel like i must have commented something about this page when i first found your site, but it really is such a massive treasure. it always sends me down rabbitholes whenever i check it out lol
@getcubed Thank you very much! <3 This site is just the presentable results of all my life's rabbit holes, hah
The vintage style graphics are beautiful! Also, what fonts do you use?
@anolesquailsandmaybecattails I use EB garamond for most things, Cormorant Garamond for the header text on certain pages (like the chamber), and the first letter fonts are Mea Culpa & EM Garamond Initials (for the writing in the library) !
*EB not EM, lol
