Welcome to Smellypuppy

「Update」∷ 1.8.2024

Home

This website is a work in progress. All art on this website is created by me unless noted otherwise.

Here is where I will list what smellypuppy is. It's a website, obvi. A gift from msx to ohmi for the holidays. I'll make it a more personal space as I go along.

I'd like to list things, do a little research, post my findings and information as I have them. I'd also like to build galleries. These galleries can be of personal irl photos, to art, to tutorials, etc.

Currently I have four main characters that occupy the persona space. Aubrey, Tealcy, Finn, and Atlas. Together they cover a broad spectra of personality traits, though in each one they're exaggerated. Their views do not always reflect mine, because a lot of times they are their own characters. However, each one hosts an important part of me.

Goals

Create beginner tutorials. For what? I'm not sure. Clip Studio Paint? HTML/CSS? Maybe I can put a poll up somewhere.

Post regularly to patreon. Doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's regular. Once a week, maybe.

Work on Questward, my webcomic, with Wax. Wax and I have been having weekly meetings that are just lovely. He's helping me out a lot with QW's development.

Continue commissions. I'd like this to be regular, too, but mitigated to fun, digestible projects. Maybe I will only open them on patreon to keep it manageable.

Purpose

The purpose of smellypuppy is to serve as a hub of activity for ohmi. Updates, organized galleries, links to important places like my shop. But also, a sort of live journal to give those curious onlinegoers a peek behind the curtain. As online animal as I am, I'd like to humanize myself for the average consumer.

This is also a place to practice all skills mentioned. My skills in HTML/CSS will grow, and I'd like to practice sharing the information as I have it.

What Is It About

「Update」∷ 1.8.2024

About

What's web building about, anyway? What's the point? It can be anything. I think that's the magic of it. It can be information, a game, art, music, shrines dedicated to your favorite things, ways to meet strangers, a place to stand for what you believe in, a place to share your headspace. It doesn't have to do or be anything. You don't have to impress your peers. You don't have to perform for anyone. Unless that's what you want to do. That's the best part.

It does take at least a little bit of vulnerability to put yourself out there. You'll be judged for how your site works, and if you open yourself up to comment or critique, you're subject to the internet. But as long as you're able to separate yourself from the toxicity, that being the sometimes acidy taste of random stranger input, you'll find more good than bad. The internet is a melting pot of social interaction. It leaves you wide open, but I've found that as long as I am genuine and genuinely enjoying myself, I get more positive interaction than not. Generally, people want to feel good, I think.
