I Made My Blog Button!
First of all, holy shit balls, I did it! I finally made my bearblog site a 88×31 button!
After I made my own bearblog, I got into browsing blogs, neocities sites, and personal websites through webrings once in awhile. Opening webrings, of course you'd see each websites' buttons, so ever since then I have wanted to make my own button. The main issues, though, were one, I have never made any pixel art ever (the only drawing app I have ever successfully used is Procreate), and two, I'm not sure how mine should look like or even if it's at all necessary for a blog site to have one.
But since I was, well, bored (while still busy at work because of capitalism) I daydreamed about making one. Daydreamed a lot it slithered into my nightly dreams. I wanted it to be simple, just a folder with the pink asterisk and the An Actual Spine title at the front. Easy enough. Theoretically.
I watched VisualTimmy's for the tutorial on how to make the pixel brush and how to set up the canvas, then got into working on the button today. Took me hours and lots of revisions. I even struggled to put the button into my blogsite's lobby (lmao)
Anyway, it's done. And I like it enough for now. Maybe I'll change it next month, who knows. I had fun. Pretty sure I'll do more pixel art in the future for funsies.

(Might try to do the animation thing for the next button. Tee hee.)
