...I do this a lot. I make graphic doodles. Today a made some columns, and now a book. What do with book now.

I guess if I made it an itsy bit bigger it could be a base for a nifty CSS log thing, but idk what for now. BUT WE'LL SEE.

That looks so cool ^^ you

That looks so cool ^^ you could use it for a biography- the diary entry pieces or even the personal info. You're so skilled with these things o:

Yeah, now that you've

Yeah, now that you've reminded me, it might be a neat thing to use for Atiq's forest encounters, since I already started writing it like a diary. You're a genius, cloud! XDD

thanks~ I used to work as a graphic designer haha I used to build stuff like this all the time XD It's like a fun puzzle to figure out what pieces can go where to make things.

Perhaps you had the idea in

Perhaps you had the idea in the back of your mind- and maybe that's why you drew it? I find some drawings, no matter their age, come to be the most useful of things.
Wish I may, wish I might, I'm no genius tonight.

You were employed in that line of work? Was it enjoyable or was the lack of enjoyment why you left?

Hm... I suppose. I never quite found myself able to solve puzzles. Create them, yes, solve them- no.

I think it was just talking

I think it was just talking about books with someone, and then in my mind I went "you know what we should make while PS is open? a book" lol


And yeah for a short while XD I was trained for years to be able to do graphics, and my degree overqualifies me for it, I am just very much an illustrative/storyteller type of creative person, so it was not the most fun thing. But there were a number of things happening that made me leave, most of them being that the company did not have the greatest practices |D I don't mind doing graphics like this at my own pace and on my own terms, but otherwise I just don't really have the right mindset for dealing with the more advertisement driven graphic industry, it's a very different thought process than what I majored in XD


Man I love puzzles. I actually like to try and create them too, definitely the opposite with me and I'm better at solving them, but making your own sure is a fun challenge~

How about...say...Tochza's

How about...say...Tochza's story? Haha. It was me you were talking about it with, make his stories into pages. I'm thinking you could make a transparency to lay over the top of this, and click to change the overlay to the "next page". No idea what the CSS would be for that though.

If you'd like sure XD I'd

If you'd like sure XD I'd just have to hand you a little bit bigger sized one, but I don't mind ;P

And yeah, that would be the smartest way to do it. And I *think* I might have an idea about what code would work, but I'm not an amazing code person so it might take some fiddling. It would be something along the lines of this: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/3166/ and the tabs at the top would be what flips to each page. But that would only work if you only had a handful of pages and not like, 100 XD

Actually, I came across a

Actually, I came across a code myself as well that changes the picture to the next one whenever you click. I think that simple code might suffice. I'll make a few CSS tests for it and see what works best for it. I'm only now starting to delve into CSS but it looks simple enough.

Ooooh nice! Yeah same here,

Ooooh nice!

Yeah same here, coding is a useful skill to have even if it's not my favorite |D
