Hello! At last I have finally touched down here in the MelonLand forums! :mark:

My name is Vars (or Odie if we're close) and I'm an artist trying to find a place for myself on da internet. When I was younger, I was always hanging out in forums since it was the easiest way to find people who liked similar things as me. It's been difficult for me to be myself on social media and I eventually shut down from severe burnout from having to mask to "fit in" and churn out artwork to please the algorithm (which is extremely hard to do for something like plush art OTL).
 
I recently got into webcrafting after sitting on a Neocities account for a couple years, and it's been helping me get back into art and doing things I enjoy. I found this forum through several sites on Neocities and I really like the community here! I did want to join earlier but I wanted to have a site up to have something to show yanno?

I'm still SUPER new into coding and am learning how to do fancy stuff everyday, I'm excited to see where this journey will take me on. I have never imagined that someone like me could create something so cool out of code.

Here some things I enjoy...some of which are my special interests that are a little odd haha:
  • Sewing/collecting plushies
  • Reading (Nonfiction is my favorite genre!)
  • Dentistry/Teeth anatomy and morphology (In highschool, I competed in Dental Science for HOSA which was fun! When I had braces, I was extremely fascinated with becoming an orthodontist.)
  • Perfecting/100% games (I just really like achievements :ok: )
  • ROBOTS! I relate with them and have always enjoyed media with robot characters. I consider it to be a core part of my identity.

Oh! Here's a glimpse of the Conservatory so far. I'm making my site as a place to preserve my art (since I kept deleting my socials and old art out of discouragement) and a place for worldbuilding!

Hello!! nice to see you here as well!  :unite:  I hope you can find freedom from pressure and expectations on your personal website, and enjoy sharing your art again. Sewing plushes sounds like a really rewarding hobby, I love plushes and I've done a bit of sewing for costumes and DIY fashion but somehow haven't ever tried to make a plush, but as someone who has been predominantly a digital artist it's always very exciting to make things that are tactile objects you can hold :4u:

howdy and welcome to the forum! I hope you get what you're looking for out of it, we're a pretty friendly bunch  :grin:

your site is super neat so far, it's very cohesive and navigable. your plushies are also very impressive, that's a really specific and cool skill to have for sure. the balloon animals are very cute.

Hey!! It's nice to see you around! :ozwomp:
I'm a super hands-on person so it was nice to be able to do something other than digital art. I'm the opposite, I have done mostly toymaking and have never touched on making clothing haha (I did buy a nice vintage Nike jacket that needs repair, so maybe I'll get into clothes) Being able to hold my art is so important to me, it almost feels like I'm holding a part of me.

I have been liking it a lot! I have seen so many talented and kind webmasters on here and it has been extremely motivating.

The balloon animals were the first thing I made a pattern for, I have always wanted to make a pattern book so people can make their own little balloon friend. Someday hopefully!
I went snoopin around on your site and was mesmerized by the vibe and visuals, the collages you made are very cool. I am interested in seeing what you will add in the directory next, I love reading about everyone's interests.

Welcome to the Melonland forum ! Happy to see a robot enjoyer joining the ranks !
Thank you! I have actually been so surprised how many robot enthusiasts there are out in the wild, it has definitely made me feel comfortable expressing my love for them.
I also wanted to thank you for the gift! I'll cherish my little robo friend forever :chef:

Welcome ^_^

That's so kind of you to say, I hope to make more cool plushies for people to look at. Thank you so much. :transport:
