FAQ

who are you?

i’m webMaster rudolf dienstag. look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair.

what are user experiences?

a new type of web series i’m developing with a focus on interactivity. my ux site will be overhauled soon but you can read more about it here.

what is your art process?

somewhat like this:

  • sketch (usually analog)
  • render line art in clip studio paint
  • base color flats shadows highlights
  • color line art on clip mask
  • add textures and color correction filters

you can see some of my tools here.

how do i build a website?

you can build a very basic website with some simple html/css. nero’s quick ‘n’ dirty guide to making a website is the best place to start and my home page’s two-column design was inspired by sadgrl’s layout builder.

to take it further, consider using a static site generator like astro javascript or 11ty. both have a learning curve but astro especially is incredible at managing content heavy sites like mine. coding in public has a full astro blog tutorial on youtube.

i’ve put together some additional resources and free code here.

QUESTIONS TAGGED MY SITE

[REDACTED] 03/05/2026

whoops i misused the guest book. but i’ll reiterate the general spirit of my question here: you still out there? And do you know of other indie websites that do transgressive and erotic art?

i appreciate you reaching out. i found your message in my guest book at a very vulnerable time wherein i had considered throwing in the towel on my web empire entirely. unfortunately i still have no way to contact you directly because the form did not send me your email, so i hope this finds you.

as for your questions:

i have not been active in creating the kind of illustrative art you are describing. i do not know when or if i will return to it and what that will look like. while i still appreciate and believe in it, it is not a priority at this stage of my life, so for now it will stay as it is to be re-integrated whenever that time comes. i can’t say for sure who is doing what i’m doing but you can check out my links page to find artists who may be creating art in a similar vein.

however, i have still been somewhat active as a webMaster. your first message inspired me to do some tune-ups on my site so i have been doing some housekeeping and am hoping to upload more of my older art over time. i am also currently collaborating on erocreativeresources, which is a website dedicated to supporting adult artists against online censorship. mind that this is all between a full-time job, a part-time job and freelance work, so updates will come when they come.

regarding freelance work, i am still open for illustration commissions should you be interested but i’ve been meaning to update my prices for quite some time, so i’d expect they be higher should you reach out. i am also interested in doing portfolio site commissions geared specifically towards adult artists sometime in the future, but i am still trying to sort out what that looks like in practice. in due time.

as always you are welcome to sign up for my newsletter where i send out updates as to what i’ve been up to. i had hoped to have 50 pieces uploaded to my art archive before announcing a full launch but we’ll see how that comes about. you are also welcome to send me another message using my ask box form with your email included if you’d like to chat directly.

you’ve done a great deal to pull me back from the ledge. i hope you are well and wish you the best.

I am poking around your site with the power of inspect element to better understand how certain things are built and I just wanna say it’s very nice code.

i really appreciate it! it’s still pretty messy with the inconsistent whitespace but i’ve cleaned it up a lot since my first build. i am still managing to find little things to do… (one more little-ish thing before i send out another long-winded newsletter)

i just pushed an update that broke the local storage item so if you decide to visit you may have to submit again. i had to figure out how to reroute everything too so i may have also broken a lot of the links. again, little-ish things to do.

hi the error message Darby on your site (specifically I’m talking about the “how did you get here! get out!” error message) is very cute. just thought you should know

THANK YOU… i thought it was really cute it’s actually from an unfinished comic where mallory catches darby having sex with her best friend (my friend’s oc emmy)… he sits them down at the table for a “talk” and darby is just crying her eyes out and apologizing profusely LMFAO

i hope there are no broken links but i’ll comb through it in a bit don’t ever get too cocky
