Thank you! I put it in a while ago after i redesigned the front page — thought it would be fun to test my CSS skills with.
The technique was based on these wonderful facsimile Pokémon cards, with some tweaks to get a simplified form of directional shadows on the leather: https://poke-holo.simey.me/
oh gosh thank u!! i'm so happy that u find my posts interesting, & hell yeah if i could prompt one rabbit hole ride or two my job is done on the internet >:3 (also ur site is so beautiful! love the nostalgic design & the color scheme)
fr fr like speculating is fun and all but this is getting out of hand :/ (I have deleted my mini Robbeets/Savelyov rant I originally wrote but just know... I have thoughts...)
before my months of absence i was losing steam a bit with this site: there were lots of small problems i had with the design that felt daunting to fix. it turns out most of them can kind of be very easily fixed—the above fixed most of them! honestly i don't know what i was intimidated with. anyway i was trying to say that i'm so so happy that i came back to this. yippie !!
