Donate here ☕

My laptop is suffering...blue screens and crashes left and right. It's been through 3 repairs so it may just Suck. As you may know, I rely on it for basically everything, so it'd really help if I could get the replacement before it dies for real.

I'm doing some special (optional) commissions for these, as tokens of gratitude:

• I can make one of these pixel icons for every 2 coffees ($6) donated, with a max of 10 per person!

• I can also write a fanfic about your characters...just give me a character or relationship and I'll write 50 words per 2 coffees ($6), max of 1000 words! (sample, another sample...my style usually leans nostalgic/atmospheric but I can do humour if you like)
• Also, my regular commissions will reopen in the first week of June, and all tips will go towards my laptop fund!

These may take a little longer because I'm still working on my May commission queue, but I'll definitely get to them either this month or June. DM me or comment if interested. Thank you so much 🙏

Hey there, I hope everyone's doing well! 

SOO... I'm running an art mini-zine centred around marine life! It'll be released in conjunction with World Oceans Day on June 8, and depending on what the artists decide, we may make it a charity zine, collecting proceeds and donating them to the Australian Marine Conservation Society :D

The zine is free and easy with almost no selection requirements--artists of all styles and skill levels are welcome.

If you're interested, just drop your info off in this form.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

I've been testing a new code editor feature that lets you directly edit the preview window (I know, I'm very excited about it--you can test it and send me bug reports at https://th.circlejourney.net/unstable/!)

I've been considering removing the manual edit option to free up space in the settings bar, but first I want to find out if anyone actually uses it. Manual update = click Update preview to update the preview with changes in your code. Let me know below!

This code editor tookme forever, but I've finally got a working release of my 28 December update! It's been a lot of work but I'm happy that I've been able to implement a whole host of functions that were suggested or which I've had in mind for a while:

• Clear, export and load text file buttons, and a scratchpad for draft work!
• It generally works and looks a lot better on mobile now, and new resizing options for mobile.
• Originally, the code editor and the preview area were on the same webpage, which was causing bugs to pop up due to class name clashes. That should no longer be the case as I have moved the preview to a separate frame!
• Similarly, I fixed the way resizing works so you don't get the weird bug where your cursor moving off the bar causes it to keep resizing after you lift your mouse button.
• It now strips HTML code of <script> and <style> tags.

Of course, this has been a huge update and I didn't have any testers other than myself, so please let me know (on this post or in DMs or anywhere) if you run into any big issues. I'm always happy to update. Thank you for the help, and thank you to everyone who suggested changes!

OH YES I forgot a link. You can try it here!

I've considered doing writing comms on a couple of occasions, but then I realise I don't know how it'll work with my writing style. I tend to need pretty deep knowledge of the subject in order to write about it, and I wonder if people who take writing commissions ever run into trouble trying to get the info you need for the writing. Or do you take a lot of creative licence? And do you send progressive drafts (that seems kind of hard, considering it takes quite a bit of time to read a piece of writing)?

Guys you should check out my brand new user profile theme. No reason other than that I'm proud of it!

My old profile was the same for almost 2 years and I made it before I'd learned Bootstrap, so it feels great to finally have something new that actually resizes properly for mobile.

Among other things, the new profile shows more info in a less cluttered way! And also, it's finally giving me a way to use the cool chibi pagedolls that I've drawn and had gifted to me.

I wrote short "titles" for everyone on the page that you can read by hovering over the icons. I hope that makes for some fun browsing. Thanks for looking!

Here it is!

The sequel to my code editor, this tool lets you view how watermarks will look on your art, without repeatedly uploading and regenerating like you have to on Toyhouse. If you find bugs, you can respond on the related thread. Hopefully that's a time saver for anyone who needs it. You can also use it to apply watermarks to art if you want to!

Just a few examples of the images it spits out (tile, stretch and center watermarks):

Full! I may open some more slots tomorrow since these went so fast.
