i'm zyan! i make art, from abstract 3D animations to 2D storytime videos to animation and game asset breakdowns.
this month i'm actively working on 2 animation videos! nothing BIG, but: little tests to "dip my toes" in the water. for the longest time i've wanted to be an animator, but i've never fully commited to it... hopefully this month, we start moving a little bit in that direction.
this month i experimented with making a video by splitting it up into small shorts. the idea was that: instead of working on a 30 minute video, i'd edit 1-2 minute shorts at a time, and they'd be good enough to stand on their own. NOW: i think in concept that works, but i think the excecution wasn't as good as i hoped... so the idea never went as far as i'd liked... i also discovered zines this month! and i made a few zines about that, which you can find up above!
i've been coding the website compiler in C. if you're curious: this website is essentially a collection of markdown files, which get fed into a C script, which then outputs them as a collection of HTML files! it also grabs any images and CSS files and throws them into a "website" folder that i upload directly to github. that's how you're seeing this website! cool huh. no? okay... well i've been spending a lot of time on it!
it's cute that: we've sort of built a community together. not something i expected but after a couple of streams, and finally making a discord server? there's like a small little community here! there's been a few roadbumps, but i actually like what was formed.
