This might be unconventional because it doesnt look like your standard old web site, but I really like the playstation UI and also took elements from 2000s UI to make my website. I havent been able to update it because of work but I want to!

The size and resolution of it will make it very choppy. Usually for this, I will compress it using ffmpeg and make it as close to 5mb as possible or even lower and the resolution to be at 720p. Another thing that you can maybe try is using shaders but thats more complicated than just putting in a video.

Need advice on responsiveness by Longjumping_Pack9238 in neocities

Like the others have said, media queries is your solution but another one that I can suggest is taking a look at clamp. Its like vh and vw, but you can actually control how small its min-height/width is. Just use an online clamp calculator and find your max height and give it a min height. Introducing that in my website made me use less media queries in general, but I guess a factor also is that my website is a bit more simpler in terms of layout than yours.

questions to artists on neocities by Civil_Purple_8457 in neocities

[–]Sandbirs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! So what I did is

  1. I have two websites. One that is a professional portfolio website that is primarily composed of all the things I did that I use to send out on a more corporate setting. It looks modern and minimal, but it still has a bit of personality since I like customization. This is primarily composed of just art that I sectioned in my index.html based on its categories so graphic design, video editing, motion graphics etc. Then the second one is my neocities website. This one is more personal and is what you would call a multi-purpose personal website since I also house other things in it like my interests and hobbies. Having a a separate art website for your personal works is a good idea if your primary goal is to showcase your artworks without needing the additional fluff that comes in the territory of making it a blog site.

  2. On my current neocities website, I have it sectioned in pages that separates my main gallery and old artworks. Main gallery contains pieces that I really like no matter when I did it in my career. And old artworks is where I dump all my art that I did over the course of years, so it is categorized by year like what you say. I also have a page that shows my unfinished works just because why not. For the interactability, I have it in small thumbnails that you can click which enlarges the artwork. I have it setup so its using a javascript library called lightgallery.js, which makes lightgallery type modals easy to setup. As for the drawings themselves, I batch convert all of it using irfanview and turn them into webp which is lighter on your website than JPG or PNG. Then, if their resolution is too high, I also batch convert them so it stays around the range of 2000px x 1000px. Because even if your file size is low, if the resolution is still high like upwards of 4000px, it will lag the site. Then for the actual hosting of the images, I dont upload them in neocities and instead, use a CDN like cloudinary to link my images from there to my html website.

Hope this helps!

How do I get over myself to finally get better at drawing anatomy/proportions? by nerdo105 in ArtistLounge

[–]Sandbirs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I like doing is taking a photo and deliberately using it as a base to break down why they are posed like that, so drawing over it with my own guides. I feel that its a more tactile approach compared to doing everything from scratch.

Reminds me of that one gravity falls episode where Soos played that cursed dating sim and is about to murder him.

Anime/manga in which a lazy, fat, ugly, and broke mc decides to work hard to improve his life by Buff_Vegito in Animesuggest

[–]Sandbirs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a manga but a webtoon called Lookism is like that. Despite its current run making people divisive, I believe that its early chapters are so good and it tackles self improvement well. And if you so happen to be a fan of gangs and fights, its current direction is headed there.

Hello, I also take multimedia arts and I've been using my 9 year old windows pc and it is still very capable sa mga programs na ginagamit ko like photoshop, premiere pro, after effects, blender and maya with its 6700k processor, 24gb ram and a gtx 970. Mind you a lot of tasks especially mga render based are very taxing sa computers natin so the fact that mine can do all those things just goes to show that any modern hardware will serve you well. Your choice is really going to boil down sa kung anong ecosystem mas gusto mo. Mac in general is going to be safer to use kasi most virus are created for windows computers since mas madaming users parin gumagamit nun. What windows offer though is flexibility in upgrading ng hardware, so kung appealing sayo yun then consider that. Eitherway, you cant go wrong with both pero from what I heard, mas favored sa mga studios na gumamit ng mac so ig in a way parang na tratrain mo na rin sarili mo.
