As the webmaster of this site, I built it in order to have a place to put all of my artwork, independent from any of the other popular artwork-hosting sites across the web. Although I do enjoy these sites and use them myself, I know that nothing lasts forever, and anything can happen to these websites at a moment's notice. Therefore, I wanted to code a place from the ground-up that hosts all of my artwork and commission work information.

On this website, you'll be able to view a catalogue of artwork by me- from scraps and sketches, to fully-fledged paintings, and even some of my fursuit and costume building work as well. You'll also find all of the necessary information needed to work with me on commissioned artwork.

This is far from my first website, and you may even know me from my other, more personal website, FaerieMachine. Although I could've very easily put all of my artwork onto that site, I thought it would be worth it to put in the work to code a separate website that is entirely dedicated towards my artwork. I prefer to create a fair separation between my art and personal aliases anyways, especially when the latter feels a lot more intimate to me, so it just made sense for me to create spaces for both of them.

My history on the internet

I go into this more on my personal website, but I've been on the internet for most of my life (which is crazy to think about in hindsight.) I've gone very few years without having internet access at all, and the minute I was allowed to use it, I was curious about this magical place that is the internet (to a fault, admittedly.) My beginnings on the 'net started with children's games like Club Penguin and Webkinz, before I would eventually "graduate" to sites where I could share my artwork, like DeviantART, FurAffinity and YouTube. This is where I'd gain my first pieces of knowledge on coding, teaching myself how to customize and personalize my pages on these websites (back when they allowed us to have way more freedom with profile customization.)

I'd even build my first website around this time specifically to put all of my digital art that I'd make in MS Paint! Although this site has since ceased to exist, and even if it was still around, I wouldn't remember the URL at all since it was this stupidly long website URL that Google spat out for me. Even so, I learned a lot about website building from that experience, and would carry it with me throughout the years until it came time for me to create these websites.

I'd dabble with Neocities here and there to create websites that were essentially just extensions of my social media accounts, and would often use templates that others used since I didn't understand CSS to save my life. It wasn't until late 2023 where I actually made the leap into creating my first layouts from-scratch, and while they weren't exactly good by any means, I still learned so much valuable information about coding that has gotten me to where I am today.

The future of the website

This site will always be a work-in-progress, as I don't deem something as big as a website to ever be truly 'finished.' Plus, as evidenced by the to-do list below, I have a lot more stuff planned for the future of this website.

If you're interested I encourage sticking along with me to watch the progression of my website.
