Previous Layouts
- Ver 1.0: Wall Of Neons - First completed layout used from July 28th 2021 though May 19th 2022. Though very suggestive its abundance of effects, animations and variants made it very heavy to load! It had compatibility issues with different browsers and wasn't optimized for mobile users.
- Ver 2.0: Neon Urban - Second skin implemented from May 20th 2022 though December 2nd 2022. It came along with a complete overhaul of the frontend with slicker design, improved performance and optimal compatibility!
- Ver 2.1: Christmas Lights - Seasonal skin implemented for the 2022-2023 Christmas holidays, from December 2nd 2022 to January 6th 2023. It featured an animated header!
- Ver 2.2: Sun-bleached Wood - Skin chosen for the majority of year 2023, from January 7th 2023 to October 16th 2023. It featured a summery palette with bright yellows and greens.
- Ver 2.3: Spooky Emo - Semi-seasonal skin for autumn-Halloween-winter, from Cotober 17th 2023 to Febraury 8th 2024. Reminiscent of mid 2000s emo blogs, it mainly sported dark colours like black and violet splashed with a few hot pink notes.

The Artist
Hi there! I'm Valyce Negative, freelance illustrator and professional comic colourist. I specialize in anthropomorphic artwork with emphasis on worldbuilding. My main inspirations come from the decades 1980s and 1990s, several obsolete technologies, and the synth/vaporwave scene.
I was born in Italy and studied Foreign Languages before specializing in Tattoo Design. I've been drawing and creating characters since ever, though my first serious venture into the world of online art started in 2005 with my DeviantArt account; from there, art has taken a much bigger role in my life and is now my career. I mainly do private commissions, but I've also done commercial works such as logo and mascot designs, interior decorations and textile patterns. Teaming up with my husband M.Lock and my art collective Griffinest I've produced several printed selfpublished comics, artbooks and merch which are sold both online (check out my Ko-Fi shop!) and at comic conventions, where I often work as seller. I travel all over Italy and Europe to take part to these events, so stay tuned and check my calendar to see if we can meet up!
Fanlisted!
