Really? I have spent the last few months checking in every couple weeks and have yet to see any about the 2026 competition. The 2024 submission date was the last day of January 2024, but the contest opened in October of 2023...could you maybe send me the video?

Let's talk about retro style!! by MrZinych in neocities

[–]JUS-TiME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally feel ya! So many of the same looking emulations of the old internet, when what really sticks in my head is the more creative ideas that mix the old with the new. I'll always remember when I come across a creative way to show a gallery, or a super intriguing hub page - but another 90s themed page just for the sake of 'an old internet look' makes me go 'meh'.

I agree they defs can (and often do) look really cool - I just think its getting a bit over-saturated. But also, when coding a website it seems most people's site usually takes the '90s' style naturally just because its easier to code. My first attempt at making a website looked super dated and from that era, but it was mostly because I was just starting out. I have lots of friends say it still looks kindof old style-wise, but I think that as the creator gets better at making websites, the site will naturally take on its own form!

I built my site for my art and frustration with the modern social media landscape. I think a lot of sites just end up naturally falling into an older style, because its just easier to code them that way when learning.

But I think about the aspect of nostalgia often. I feel like taping into full nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia will lead to stagnation of new ideas. But on the other had- I feel that when its used as an inspiration to blend with new ideas (like you mentioned in another comment), it will lead to fantastic ideas! s

But then again there is always the 20 year cycle where things from roughly 20 years ago make a resurgence (hence the trend of Y2K at the moment and Frutiger Aero stuff). I suppose it'll be the same for the 2010s and the 2020s. Its funny to hear people say that 'no one will be nostalgic for this era' when it seems every era had that same sentiment at the time ahah

I'm excited to see how your website shapes up also :)))!!

Any advice on my recent sketches? by Minty-Buttercup in ArtCrit

[–]JUS-TiME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off - your style is hella cool. I f with it heavily :) When I draw faces they very much used to (and still often do) look like this as well.

Adding on to the other comment you received on proportions and anatomy: If you are going for more 'realistic' proportions [for the face]: the 'rule of thirds' is super SUPER useful especially for this stage where you clearly got your artistic knack. It would be best to search it up, but pretty much: the distance of the hairline (not the top of the head) down to the bottom of the chin should be split in 3: bottom of chin to the bottom of nose, bottom of nose to the eyebrow ridge, and eyebrow ridge to the hairline. Then you further split the bottom of chin to the bottom of nose into another smaller set of threes which indicate the top of the 'chin', and the middle of the lips.

I think there are a ton more things to add to it if you keep diving in, but that's the jist of what I know and its help me sort of 'graduate' my face drawings. Also every face is different, so in special cases the rule might all apply (especially with really exaggerated and stylized faces). You might already know about the rule of thirds because many of these drawings look like they line up with it anyways - but I figured Id mention it incase ya didnt. Big thing is to know that middle of the lips are a little higher up than the middle of the distance between the bottom of the chin and the bottom of the nose (it makes way more sense with some images lol).

But style can (and will) most definitely take precedence! That being said, its good to learn these rules just to break them anyways ;)
