Those of you that have been keeping up with my concept artwork-ing for our online graphic novel project might have noticed that it’s missing one very important thing–the graphic novel itself (alas ). However, while I don’t expect the actual publishing of the comic to start for at least many more months, I noticed it was also missing another thing. A web site!

Of course, it wouldn’t do much good to design the site that will be used to contain the comic just yet; but I felt it could use a few pages to function as well-designed and attractive presentation of information about it. So that if someone goes, “hey, what’s that comic thing you’re working on all about,” I could just shoot them the link, rather than dig up the the blog category or the concept art, both lacking context and description.

So, after 2 all-nighters and a box of chocolate-dipped granola bars, I threw together most of it. If you’ve been at all curious about what the project is about, I definitely invite you to check out the website at the-victorious.com! It’s organized in such a way that I think you’ll find it easy to get as broad or as detailed browse of the information as you like.

Since this was nothing nearly as serious as a portfolio site or a commission, I decided to take the opportunity to experiment a little more with CSS3, and use as little Javascript as possible. So, overall, this is by far the most quickly-thrown-together and least-polished-out web project I’ve done, but I hope that the spontaneity translates into a fun experience! (…Rather than too many bugs. Though, feel free to let me know about those! )

  • Hello! I'm Natalie and this is my blog. It's not exactly a design blog or a diary or a tutorial collection; though, it's bits of those and then some. Mostly, though, is a chronicle of what an enthusiastic 21-year-old illustrator, designer, web coder, and amateur writer does with her time — usually at ungodly nocturnal hours.

    This blog is updated more or less infrequently — mostly when something exciting happens — but please browse around and enjoy! If you're particularly inspired, follow me on Twitter, grab the RSS feed, check out my website and portfolio, or just send a random email.
    I love random emails.

Welcome. This blog is a small "sub-website" of my main one (sklobovskaya.com), so there really isn't much here except the blog itself!
