faq
q: what's with the multiple names?
q: why do you say you're a dog?
a: sometimes people are dogs. (source)
q: what is a dogthing?
a: theyre just silly dog-like creatures that are easy to draw and facilitate my own artistic experiments without feeling like i'll fuck something up. they often lack eyes or noses and sometimes mouths.
q: how did you make [xyz]?
some answers:
- i made this site with 11ty and nunjucks as my method of static site generation (and i used to use zonelets when i first started the site). you might like this tutorial.
- the rss feed is from an addon for above
- the website uses a lot of flexbox elements, which are like a more modular table that can be resized for other screen sizes etc. theyre pretty fun! i wrote a bit about it here too.
- i edit the site code in sublime text editor (it's free and it rocks!) and use that to automatically push it from github to neocities with this github action
- i draw using krita, clip studio paint, rebelle 5, ms paint, chickenpaint oekaki software, blender 3d, sculptris, aseprite (has a freeware alternative, and various traditional mediums such as oil pastels, water color, and colored pencil - i am rather eclectic!
- the quiz script is from caveofdragonflies and the styleswitcher is from a website formerly known as dynamicdrive that is now being domain-squatted. i wrote about how to use it here.
