(1/7/25) work on the claw machine is underway! the only thing I have to do now is finish the custom assets for it. turning pixel art into vectors for the game itself has proven to be tedious, but the time will pass anyway.
(1/2/25) man, I forgot about adding what I did to Site Updates for a while! I've now finished uploading all the art I want to share, along with creating descriptions and alt text for them. it might not work, but my next goal is to mess around with Answer in Progress' claw machine code to see if I can get it to work on this website rather than relying on a website builder that has widgets like it recommends.
(12/1/24) I made a Fun page that links to all the other stuff I'd like to put on this website, which doesn't fit in any of the other categories. I added all the art I made from 2023 that I feel is worth putting up, and the stuff I've made so far this year goes up next. thankfully, it isn't a lot! I also started working on the favorites page, while will be my sole focus for a while once the art page is up-to-date.
(11/27/24) shortly after making two of the seasonal themes, I lost whatever was driving me to make a bunch of recolors, probably because I started drawing new stuff and remembered that it's way more fun than recoloring. so, at least for now, I removed the seasonal theme. I made some tweaks to the gallery so that the image boxes are all evenly sized and aligned in the way I want them to be, and I also started to work on my favorites page. lastly, all the alt text for the art that's currently up is done... finally.
(11/13/24) NO MORE MAGENTA SQUARES!! I created the avatars I needed for my "about me" section and the left sidebar. until I work on additional seasonal themes and/or add more stuff, the art side of the themes are done.
