What are you into?
I'm an artist! I mainly make digital art, but I'll also mess around with traditional mediums like watercolor and good ol' paper and pencil if I'm feeling up to it. Lately, I've also been getting really interested in zines and bookmaking. I mainly like to make fanart for my interests, but I'll do original stuff too. I'm currently studying graphic design at my university, but I'm not sure whether I'll be taking a job at a firm or just doing freelance yet. Right now I'm mainly experimenting with the work I do to find out what I like to do best!
Video games are my special interest if you couldn't already tell! The very first console I played on was the Nintendo 64, and the first game I remember playing was Diddy Kong Racing. I grew up with Nintendo consoles and PC games — The Wii is the one I have the fondest memories of 'cause of all the time I spent on it as a kid. Nowadays, I mainly play indie games, along with stuff that was released on older consoles. I think video games are an incredibly cool form of media because of the interactivity, plus all of the creative work that goes into them. I've always wanted to make a game of my own, so I've been trying to figure out how to use RPGmaker. I haven't really properly made anything with it yet, but I'm excited to eventually be able to start on a real project!
Why Neocities?
I started working on this Neocities because I've wanted to learn coding and make a personal site for a long time (and I mean a long time... I think I was in kindergarten when my cousin showed me that you could make your own websites on the internet?). Before Neocities, I've only made websites
for school projects using basic website builder tools, and I had never tried programming anything from the ground up. Starting to learn HTML and CSS was tough, but I'm a lot better at it now compared to when I first began. I'm really happy with the progress I've made, and I hope you like it too :)
