It’s weird, even though the site as of present is such a simplistic thing to recreate, I still can’t say that the time taken is wholly unjustified. The thing I can probably safely say is that I’ve learned is: 1. website development takes ages, regardless of you knowing what you’re doing. And 2. even those who know what they’re doing seem to be inefficient on what they’re trying to create depending on intention.

The TLDR, I’m pretty confident that everyone is just as clueless as another when it comes to website efficiency, it’s just the case of not being totally clueless. Anyway, I’ve no idea what I’m talking about anymore so onto what else I wanted to talk about.

Progress is going well. Slow, but well. There ends up being days when I just avoid writing anything because I know what it will allude to, recently you’ll have probably noticed that my recent update on the page is over a week ago at this point. And for good reason!

At the moment in time I’m currently re-learning my programming environment, that meaning that I’ve finally got my ass off-of Tumblr. I’ve been talking with friends who know way more about programming than myself about what I should generally be aiming towards, one of those topics being independent on hosting my site. So a lot of my recent time has just been re-learning how I should write my site, because I know my future career in this space will bite me in the ass the more I delay this, so it IS happening. Slowly.

Hello, and welcome to my hopefully last major post of my current branding transitional period! It's going pretty well, but I feel like the only thing I've been doing for the past couple months here is talking about myself. Hopefully I'll find a new project to work on sooner, rather than later, but regardless-

I've been currently working on a long overdue update to my blog, as it's THE thing that presents all my art and my time investment. It's been sorely under presented for a year or two now and I've been meaning to get around to finding a new theme, but to no avail, as a result I've been making my own!

At the moment in time, I've very bare bones and holds most of the tumblr elements I want featured, but it's taking a while to test out ideas I have in mind and will take some time.

I recently finished developing my page scaling, which is definately a new thing for me, but only is designed to accustom to anything between 500px and ((ideally)) 1920px wide. It's mainly because I don't really have any solutions in order to figure out a good screen ratio for things such as tablets, so ideally I'll try to design with the general 16:9 ratio with what I have in mind.

I've been slowly developing a page-esc kinda concept to treat the website like a bunch of pages to display my work on without enforcing page redirects, because they are inheritly awful. The goal being that the idea will come across somewhat artistically progressive alongside with having good compatibility for tablets. This process is also a pretty good excuse to re-establish my CSS skills because lord knows Vher98 has a lack of them.

I've managed to get around to cleaning up and vectorising my logo as of late, which is good news for future projects and to flex my ability to do some clean looking graphics for once in my life. It's not as perfect as it could be in terms of mastering consistancy in thickness of text, border thickness and general connotation of shapes and angles... but it's at a much better position than it was.

I had to do a bit of cleanup and polish a lot of the angles that was originally in the design and fix some intent I originally had during the design conception, but don't think I did an entirely effective job at. One of which being the horns on the logo being a representation of the design elements of Petra, and I think the quick mock-up I designed really struggles to give the intended shape and the outlines just don't do justice to the shape of the logo itself.

Regardless, here's the final design, with all of it's slight imperfections:

Top image: Newly vectorised logo Bottom image: Original logo design with an additional outerglow.

As an extra sidenote, I also designed the new vector with and without an outline. The older, original design has a default black glow with tons of manual tweating in order to get the same general shape, but it's really lazy looking and doesn't pertray the shape that it's supposed to.

...Alongside, of course, additional tweaks to the colour pallet that the logo is displayed as. Not to mention a different outline hue to contrast the new base purple a bit better.

Regardless of my little quibbles of slight design imperfections, elements as simple as consistant line thickness and the 16,000 x 8,000 of glory is a much more glamorous result than the original concept piece and I'll be soon to get around to swapping any current usage of my logo out with this. The vast increase in quality is such an eye opener I couldn't not do it.

Another week has been and gone, and I think it's a funny how rebanding is usually more most active I ever get in terms of production.

Another thing I've been brewing on for the past couple months is trying to develop both myself and my own characters through drawing in my spare time. And after working on a few drawings across the past couple months, it's taken me this long to realise that I'm not an artist.

It's really bizare to me that it's taken me this long to realise after the past couple of years of enjoying drawing, and stewing on the idea of not being able to put on the paper EXACTLY what I want. Even saying that, ironically enough, I've never considered myself an artist in the first place. I never considered myself as one is more of a pretentious sense of not wanting to identify as something I'm not, which once again is ironically, something I never realised I was even doing.

That being said, I do think I'm particulary good at concept development, and for the past year or so I've been developing a new character that I think envisions my internal personality struggle, or something that at least envisions me as my artistic merit, rather than said personality struggle with a hint of anxiety.

Left: Original concept art of Petra, designed by me mid 2020. Right: A Commissioned piece of Petra, drawn by Sinnerpen mid 2021.

Here's Petra, a messy amalgamation of concept art created by myself and from now on will be the design I use to try and encapsulate myself as an artist, and finally envisioned in a manor I'm pretty happy with.

She's been a pretty simple design I envisioned as of a year or so ago, but with internal conflictions as which I wanted to do with myself, both as an artist and a person, I really didn't know what to do with her. I think my main struggle revolved around thinking that myself was the end all and be all of which I wanted to envision something to be, and then never being happy with it. When in reality I think I just needed someone else to capsulate inwhich I want to envision, as I don't think I will ever be happy with the drawings I create and share.

And how else to do that but get someone capable with doing a better job than I could?

That being said, I did some additional work after the fact to see how I could incorperate her into my branding moreso than just a profile picture, because I really do admire the drawing Sinnerpen managed to do for her.

And here we have it! A final result of a week of work and a month of mental torment. Especially with the logo having to specifically be designed around the new design elements I ended up giving to Petra as of late. But hopefully, you can agree that it's all been connected together in a nice little bow apposed to my previous set of branding.

I would have posted this earlier but I had to do a few adjustments to adapt this for all platforms I'm currently active on, usually I have a few issues with this due to something like the logo not working or looking as effective as possible due to the resolution given for a social media banner. But I have to say, for once I have to say I have no problems, which really is a first.

This logo adaption is long overdue and the lesson being that I think I'll stick to concept art and development rather than trying to earn the artist tag which I know i damn well don't deserve.

Looking back it's really bizzare to me all these issues with trying to point a finger at something and identify as it, I just never was able to see the hypocracy of trying to be something that I said I was never claiming to be. It's hard to put into words. Especially as someone not very good at formulating a sentence which relies on the muddled mess of mental amnesia of how I try and label myself and my personality.

This week I've been working on branding more! Specifically, considering how I should approach my overall branding and how I show myself on social media.

It's been a tough one, it took a long time for me to be happy with my new logo simply due to how many god damn itterations it took to actually get it to the point inwhich I'm happy with. However, I think a lot of the issues I was conflicted with was mainly what to do with it. And it's hard to convey the kinds of recent conflict I've been having with myself without having paragraph apon paragraph explaining step by step of the breakdown inwhich I got to that point mentally.

The conclusion to that point being with the new logo, I was conflicted with how I should, or if I should reinvent myself as a designer.

Here's a banner I made during the development of my recent logo, you'll probably notice some differences between this and the final itteration, simply because it was exactly that. A banner inwhich is a muddled mess of colours and lack of self control and understanding. I wasn't really entirely sure on what to do with it, if I should use it, if it was good.

The past couple days I've felt mentally broken, and it's all because I wasn't happy with a result like this. It wasn't me, and my idea on reinventing myself as the designer I should be felt broken and shattered. Looking back at it now, I feel like the banner isn't inheritly bad, but the spacing and general focus of the banner is unclear. Putting it simply, it just isn't clear on what it says, it's just plain hard to read and understand what it's trying to display. Not only as a brand, but as a personality.

Overall, it just generally wasn't what I wanted. Even something as simple as the main colours I should use through out my branding I wasn't really sure about. Regardless, I left it for a couple of days and kept coming back to the drawing board.

First of all, I tried to actually focus on the log itself, focusing specifically on colour, and this is my result. The colours are vibrant but not too contrasting. It's really subtle and even the gradient sloping I think ended up coming out brilliantly. It's such a sharp and sudden curve at the halfway mark and transitions upwards to the gray so naturally in a pixelated tessellated-like look thanks to the checker-board like style of the polka dots. The smooth, none linear feel of it I think really added to the shape of the logo. It feels dominating without actually having bright, purposefully bombastic colours or design elements. I really dig it.

As an experiment of effectiveness and to test if it was even possible to add something like this effectively into a muddle of wide and vastly different colours, I readjusted my current banner with new assets and drawings, cleaned up a few design elements and got rid of a few old pieces.

After all of this I'm feeling better of myself as a "designer", and after my latest synopsis on myself as an artist, even moreso now that I feel like I'm actually achiving a bitmore with myself as an artist. I'm happy with myself for the first time in a while.

I've been busy as of late with life problems of all things. One of which is trying to manage personal life transitions towards actual work, not forgetting my MtF transitioning.

A constant requirement for the sake of my mental health is always giving some form of personal evolution of art and a constant cycling of self identification. And as someone who works a lot of art, I usually use said art to display it. If you're an avid follower of my art, you've probably realised that it's what I've been doing for years. Even moreso over the past couple weeks. The long awaited reconciliation on personal goals, morals and self identification. That being said, as described before, one of the things I've been developing is once again another step towards my personal branding and self imaging.

To be honest, it's been a huge problem for a while now. I think the "VeryVhersty" tag i've been going under a while was cute, but I think with the slow evolution of myself turning into both a female and and a more and more semi-compitent adult, or at least looking more like I know what on earth I'm talking about on behalf of my designing carear. It's more of a feeling that I actually need to start proving myself a bit more now that I want to focus on it from a carear perspective a bit more, and taking the extra few steps to do and to prove myself to be able to do said tasks. Especially considering my current logo is just Bebas with a bit of gradient trickery done in AE.

Here's my initial concept art for something I wanted to create with some ideas I had alongside some character development stuff I must get around to writing about. But that's another post for another time, lets continue with the topic at hand.

I think this initial design is really bad, unclear and awful. The idea is there but the design is too enlongaged, tall and the focus of the actual fontwork is SO off-center it really drags down the concept I had in mind. After producing this, I really did feel awful about it. Not conisdering mental stuff I was going through trying to give validation to myself of considering myself a designer in the first place, but generally as someone who isn't sure what on earth their place is in life.

The original concept was meant to be based on my full name, that being Vanherst. However, the spacing and alignment of the typography ended up being all over the place, so I cut it back to what the majority of the name sound is. Van-her-st. Additionally, the tail at the end of the logo really didn't help with the issue I was having trouble with in the first place, the spacing it was using.

Other than that, the idea for the VA was pretty much what I had in mind, but the N is unclear to read and the H is unclear to what it's meant to signify and represent. The flow between lines isn't clear and the overall design doesn't feel smooth and blend into eachother the way it should.

And after 3 more days of tweaking and coming back to it, here is what I ended up coming up with. I ended up getting a bit of style insperation from Ye Ol' english, I think the H shows that off a lot. I have a few means to incorperate it into my branding a bit while still having that modern feel I want to try and chase after.

I'm still not THAT happy with it, but it's mainly determining to myself if it's actually effective or not, so I essentially just have to sit on it and see if I still like it without the after-haze of creating this.

From what I can say from a design standpoint, a lot of my previous logos I've usually had issues with don't really apply, so i'm finding it really hard to judge it's more objective effectiveness based on relative lessons learned. And that's simply because they always end up seeming so simplistic and flat looking. God, am I sick of straight lines. I think it's more of a evolution on the idea of most of the things I've been studying and learning about from design to politics to computers have always been a complicated issue and that's what I probably get my personal interest of it from. Life is always a bit more complicated but maintaining simplistic to an overwealming degree, and I want my next step in life to display that.

This design kinda reminds me of my rainpro.dash logo, which prior to this, was probably my personal favourate design I've managed to make. As much of a parody piece it may seem, it's pretty effective at what I think it's trying to accomplish.

I've been meaning to post this for the past few weeks but I've just never managed to get around to it, but I'm getting pretty close to finishing a major overhaul so I'm just gonna start posting the deets.

For the past month I've been working on a Third Impact resource pack for Terraria, inspired by Evangelion Neon Genesis. I don't know how I got onto this topic to be honest, a month ago I wanted to make a new spritesheet for my website, now i'm developing an entire resource pack.

I haven't formally announced the pack previously, simply because I think there's a lot more potential for general design exploration, even if it was just a graphical rehaul.

So that's what I've been upto for the past week, because I genuinelly felt like there was a lot of room to improve in an area AND artstyle I've never really touched prioviously.

Personally, I'm still not 100% pleased with it when it comes to the hands are. But the current differences between the original conception and the current state is a HUGE fucking improvement, and I'm super happy with how it's come out.

I'm gonna get around to it but there's a lot to work on and think about due to technical limitations with terraria and how little I have to work with due to ((resource pack)).

Either way, It's been a long development process of learning general shading styles and improving working at such a small scale, and since the original conception of the idea it's in a much better state than it was as of a week ago.

Here's a small little render PRIOR to the latest graphic upgrades I've managed to do, and set aside bias and such, I still think it's a nice option to play with, even without the technical limitations of a resource pack.

And people seem to really enjoy the recent content I've been producing since the original release, and with over 10000 current subscriptions to the mod, it's probably one of the biggest projects I've been to town on.

There's a LOT of assets I've been working on simultaniously, and even though most assets are barely 50x50 pixels, to conceptually make it seem consistant with the show is a difficult feat.

I ended up taking a 1-2 week break on developing animation cycles for a bunch of NPC related mods, in order to try and refresh my mind and just generally take a break from working on the same scheme of assets. Inwhich, I'll probably talk about at a future date and / or post.

I know it's only been a couple of weeks since the last blog post about my recent updates towards developing Vher98, but trust me it's for a good reason, I'll split it up into chapters to sorta give a bit more of an explination towards developments and get a bit more in depth about it for once.

Display properties.

This has been delayed for SO long, and finally I've gotten around to doing it. Finishing the display properties menu. The display properties has been the bane of my existance about this website but yet my best feature, just from the schemes feature alone. But this week I have a new addition, and that is to say I now have desktop icon schemes! Inwhich, allows you to change the desktop icons based on preselected spritesheets (Which you can also change by the command prompt!).

At the moment there are 6 presetswhich you can select, I recently did a massive sprite redesign for desktop icons based on my new character, Petra! But that's for a future update, for now I've set the default spritesheet and included all of the old ones, which you can select from, alongside being able preview them at a smaller resolution to be compatiable with the display properties window.

I've also added a few other settings which you can see previews of, not all of which are programmed yet, so at a future date I'll either change them around or program them. But for now, I've added the ability to change desktop icon sizes to a more native modern scale, but leaving the default setting as the classic windows 98 recreation.

I've also added additional wallpapers, only accessable through the effects tab and "CSGO MODE" which was featured in the background of the preview blog post, which recreates the settings for my counterstrike mainmenu, along with adjusting the desktop icons and wallpaper to fit.

As previewed above, designed to be a slight nod to my recent "Neon Genesis Evanjollion" video, featured on my youtube channel. I've recorded and animated my counterstrike character with loopable animations which play continuously in the background.

Now, I know this is a lot of text for what seemingly is a minor update, but the main reason I was able to design the latest additions to the effects tab was because of the recent massive rewrite I've had to do in order to fix a bunch of problems I was coming across, one of which being how unoptimised themes were reletively.

Left: new code which include schemes selection and the new effects menu toggles. Right: old code, only including schemes selection.

This entire re-write revolves around basically storing arrays of data rather than manually switching values of variables, along with tons of adjustments to unneeded variables and how theme data is required to be stored, as CSMODE needs to store the theme data to be able to toggle from the data needed to switch from the current scheme to CSGO mode.

I cannot understate howmuch of a rewrite this is, and as much as I would like to say "I really don't get why I ever did it otherwise", I would be lying. But this is a super incredable optimisation and looking at this comparritively makes me super pleased with how far i've come from knowing nothing about HTML/JS to this. Jquery is a godsend.

Start Menu

On my newly found optimisation craze, I've also done tons of rewriting to the startmenu, another long overdue reform. Even though I've recently done a rewrite on this thing, I knew there was still tons of improvements with my new knowledge of jquery.

Top image: old code in Javascript Bottom image: new code in Jquery

I've also put aside a few hours of time to dedicate creating new assets for the start menu. It became REALLY hard to find a nice and consistant style which windows 98 used, but it was really hard to find sources of any of the original assets but also have the levels of details I knew windows 98 for, especially when tons of the assets from windows 98 came from windows 95, which still relied on 8 bit colour in some instances.

So I did a bunch of digging and found the assets Windows 98 used at the end of it's lifespan and modified them a bunch to put into Vher98, giving my own personal touch and hopefully to keep the art direction of icons a bit more consistant and unique to look at and use.

Task management

Alright, last big one. Task management. Another long overdue reform was needed for this thing. Prior to this month, tasks relied on whatever manual order I decide to create the task and assign a number to, the number will dedicate placement on the taskbar depending on which value was the highest.

So for example, the Display Properties will ALWAYS be the third task on the taskbar if you was to open everything up, simply because I didn't know how to calculate the placement prior to designing tons of assets. Especially when the original conception of the site RELIED on myself manually creating the visual look of the taskbar as the entire site was designed based on images. From windows, taskbar to the starrtmenu. It was awfully inefficent.

Top image: Example of windows being opened from oldest (left) to newest (right). Bottom image: The new optimised and redesigned code for calculating taskbar placement and task assignment.

Anyway, that being said I now have automated calculation for taskbar task placement. If you open a task, it will open and remain in the order of the task being ordered. Writing this makes me have a smug little grin on my face just from how happy I am I was even able to get this to work properly, and it's only a few lines of math to even get the result I have.

Conclusion

There's tons of other stuff I wish to go on about, but that's why I have patchnotes. if you wish to read them, you can check them out on my github, or in the Startmenu of Vher98.

There's a few bugs I need to get around to fixing, but I've invested a few hundred hours into this thing over the past month alone and I really should take a break to get onto other projects I wish to get around to completing.

I recently started developing a mod for Terraria and some drawings I want to get around to finishing sooner or later. But, the most important thing I REALLY need to get around to is branding. Over the past month or two I've been growing more and more displeased with how I present myself and the fact I have stagnated a bit within the realms of my carear and I need to get around to sorting these personal matters sooner rather than later.

Christ, 2 months since the last development update here.

Alright! I've made tons of progress over the course of the past 3 months, from some sleepless nights working on this damn thing to random spurratic development updates. So, I'm just gonna list a few big ones.

Rebranding

One of the major ones to me personally - I'm renaming the project from Win98 to Vher98.

I have ideas for the project and after some general realisation on how long this project may take if I was to entirely recreate Windows 98. I think a better way to go about the project is to turn the project into something more practical for my own personal uses and to add my own "ease of access" features that Windows 98 didn't originally have.

This doesn't really change the project at all, but it's a bit of piece and mind for myself.

Finalised Embedded Media Player!

One of the earlier updates since the last update was the media player having some massive overhauls, with the addition to the interface, URL bar and general logic and visual overhaul. There's even a fullscreen mode! Cute!

I'm glad this was on my bucket list because I feel like this was the nail in the coffin for my struggles with javascript after developing this and being so heavily js focused. There's a lot of ease of use features and accessability options included that needs to be done. So hopefully, you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

(There's also tons of fun playlists and features in the start menu and command prompt.)

Command Prompt!

Speaking of command prompt, I added a command prompt! It's been a while since I've properly updated it and I've realised a few problems with some OG commands I managed to develop, but most small feature set still work fine.

The main point is for debug information such as current status of animation sequences or current active tasks on the taskbar. But one of the functionality peices I have right now is to be a placeholder is being able to enforce custom varables or spritesheets! Which will hopefully be expanded apon within the next few days.

Taskbar Overhaul!

A small little addition I did is taskbar logic! No longer the days of static tasks, welcome to law and order! (Yes, I added open order)

I'm yet to add task draggability to be able to change the positioning of where it is on the taskbar, but other than that, that is the jist of it. A lot of math later and tons of backend well needed adjustments and optimisations.

Ending notes;

Regardless, there's been tons of update. Too many to list. So if you're enthusiastic about updates and developments I'm working on I've added patchnotes inwhich you can read and get updated live on what i'm working on. (Another feature I've managed to add within the past couple months)

That’s right. More updates from the pit of hell called my coding. It’s now a month into 2021 and I’m still working on this thing. Tons of new things since the last update so I thought I’d give a quick few lists of progress I’ve made.

So the elephant in the room is the entirety of the Display Properties window with all of it’s glorious, glorious functionality. I’ve been working pretty hard having to redo most of the backend to get the thing to be fully functionable, but at last, here it is.

I’ve fully added functioning schemes alongside previews of said scheme, wallpapers, colours and desktop icons. I’ll be adding more specific customisation at a later date, but for the time being I’d rather keep it to the essentials while I work on other overhauls I need to progress on.

There’s a few premade schemes you can pick from and choose, and the code is really expandable as messy as it is. I literally haven’t touched HTML with JS prior to decemember so there’s probably 100 better ways to do the same thing, but I’d rather just figure out as I go along and I’ve figured I really hate Jquery. 

Schemes was the “big one” I’ve been trying hard to get out of the way for the past couple of weeks, so I’m just gonna do some quick fire features that have been added including a more indepth idea on schemes that have been added;

I added tasks and tabbing between tasks only to replace it with dynamic tasks as of yesterday, and will adjust their position according to other windows that are opened and closed instead of being predetermined.

A total of 7 schemes added, 5 themes including 2 high contrast options, 16 desktop colour options and 10 wallpapers to choose from.

Tons and tons of post formatting such as better video scaling and padding on images to be removed depending on the post type.

Posts are minimizable and maximizable alongside formatting adjustments such as scrollbars alongside tons of formatting for patch notes, permalink posts and additional well needed backend stuff for the future.

More efficent post handling and start menu handling.

I have two additional windows also currently being worked on such as Time and Date and Windows Media Player, which revolves around youtube embedding for the sake of easy implimentation.

I’ve been enjoying the process of writing HTML, but development has been taking a long time regardless of the 4-8 hours I invest daily in this thing. Who would have guessed website development took so long, huh?

Regardless, I took the past couple of days to take a break and hopefully I can get around to developing more windows now that I basically redesigned the entire logistics of the entire taskbar for a second time.

Development has been long and slow. Even though there isn’t much of a visual “overhaul” to it for the past month or so, the website has come a looooong way since I started development on it.

Over the past month I have completely rewritten everything. There is a completely functional start menu, draggable windows, random image generators alongside tons of new formatting such as taskbar functionality and windows task layering. Even though it’s far from done, it’s the best there is when it comes to Tumblr themes.

It's been such a wild few months of learning the process of web development and general tips and tricks when it comes to general usage of Jquery and javascript, and even though I'm far from done on this site, it's in a lot better position than when I originally started.

I'll be continuing work to do a few more backend adjustments and then I’ll be ready to start making different themes and give user customisation. One thing I wanna get around to trying out first is giving the chance to change the desktop wallpaper through the display properties, and futher down the line design a way to change colour scheme and have a few premade themes such as dark mode.

This is just a “brief” glimpse on what I have been working on all this time. I’ve recently redone how posts are visually handled to make them look more visually interesting but meaningful with newly implimented tumblr compatbilities.

Posts still need a tiny bit of work on the backend, such as video handling and padding, but I'll leave it at that for now.

It’s close to the end of 2020 and I’m two weeks into working on my blog, vher98.tumblr.com. Not much has visually changed, but there’s been tons of work that I’ve been doing that you won’t see unless you see the back end in comparrision.

I knew website development took a long time, but I never really knew it would take this long for such simple features. The majority of the time invested into the site as of late is a more functional start menu, the code upto now is really jank, but I'm pretty confident being able to set up a basic interface and trimming down the fat in the next few days is probably the best way to go.

I know it'll be way incredibly better for a more effective learning process for myself, alongside remembering a bit more of how to lay things out the way it should be.

It’s been a fun personal project I’ve been working on and streaming. If you want to come check out my slow and unentertaining progress, then come and join my stream. I’ve been trying to stream everyday but most of my streams either get taken down or youtube just... doesn’t function the way it intends to.

Anyway, a lot of what i’m doing is a learning procress with a slow and steady learning curve. (I’ll get there eventually...)

Well, it’s coming close to the end of the year and it’s time to show off some recent personal projects i’ve been doing.

I’ve recently been having some problems with my sideblog, Thealonic. A lot of the “Win98″ theme I was using was either completely jank or having issues. I did try to polish it up and do adjustments to the HTML to make images wrap properly, but regardless of my work, the theme is generally flawed and underdeveloped so over the past week i’ve just decided to redo it.

Even though it’s the similar kinds of design and vibes, trust me, it’s a completely different backend from the ground up in both the CSS and HTML department. It’s basically a complete rewrite. Although I am using a basic html sheet for things such as animated buttons or simplistic title bars, there’s still so much work I’ve had to do to make both the theme AND Tumblr behave properly.

Either way, the progression on the overhall is going SUPER well and the time investment has been very worthwhile, so I’m sharing it here.

I’ve been playing a lot of Counter-Strike recently and I’ve set myself up with giving myself the pleasure of sitting downand editing together what felt like a choatic story of a regular competative game.

Vhersty

Here's a fun little logo design I've been developing over the past couple of days, made for my own CSGO team and created as a little bit of fun.

The design is an obvious parody directed at the infamous, Virtus.pro. I additionally made various versions of the logo for individual team members.

200531 : GENESIS 

I haven’t posted here in a few months, there’s a few reasons to do with university and a lot of reasons to do with currently being more intered in drawing and programming.

GENESIS is one of my recent pet-projects to do with university. A very simplistic real-time 3D rendered visualisation of GENESIS from Justice.

I have a few more projects in the works, but this is what I’ve been  spending a bunch of my time on recently, if you want to see what i’m currently upto, I’ve been streaming it on youtube.
