About my life story. Even if bugs aren't trying to creep through the door, the bloody rhinoceros with the list of features which absolutely couldn't have been foreseen a week before and absolutely have to go in is always there!

- Title: Site 2011

- Website design for my content used in 2011 and early 2012. This was a dynamic width design created to work with Drupal 7 (The screenshot shows just the static part before implementing it as a Drupal theme). I had two mayor problems with this design: For one it took not too much to feel it just too egocentric for that cheetah with a beard (I have beard), and for one technically the dynamic width solution had some important problems.
- Title: Cheetah (un)spotted

- An interesting cheetah was, well, "spotted" recently out in the wild. "Spotted" may not be the appropriate word here as this particular cheetah's peculiarity is especially that he completely lacks the usual black blotches of a normal cheetah! To make this more interesting, an another source also turned up where probably this same cheetah was captured two years before...

- Title screen plan for the Cheetaan Legacy game. It might need some color adjustments (There is a dark red color which might be invisible on some displays) which I might do at a later time editing this graphics further. The problem is mainly that my monitor has a really weird color space at darker color levels.

- Outpost in the Dragon's Maw is a retro style Match-3 Tower Defence game for the Uzebox open source game console, a bit of 8 bit madness involving an ATMega 644 and a bit of electronics to get it producing a video signal and accepting input from an SNES controller. Thanks to emulation, you may also have a few rounds of it right within your browser!

- Cheetaan city scene. Experimenting with foliage, and at last, some proper colouring. The Cheetaan (Tani), first time portrayed in a typical city setting of theirs. In the distance, the organic statue of the centre, a white arch of plant-sustained Mag-Lev track, with of course a lot of green, and the two Tani races who are primary builders of this civilization.

- Twenty-six forty-eight... Space is opened wide, our ships reach towards planets of distant solar systems, man is colonizing near and far. The same time Earth is struggling by overpopulation, severe social, political and economic problems. Many who can afford, embark on the journey, a perilous journey towards the unknown... A sci-fi novel set in the distant future, telling the story of a young man, who tries to find his place in this strange new world (currently Hungarian only).

- Some old EGA line-arts drawn with Deluxe Paint II, probably from 2005, probably even older. The large cheetah framing all was used as a part of a site design back then, I don't know if it was ever made into an actual design though (If it were, sure it was a HTML4 table mess).

- Two distinct Interlace HI-Res + Sprite images for the Commodore 64. I created these using a small self-made pixel pusher software, also implementing a rudimentary display routine for them for the real C64 (Nothing of much interest, I only used a single 16Kb page for the VIC, half the screen left flickering like hell, but that proved it!).

- What happens when something gets me really inspired in the process... (Click the image to get it in 1920x1200) You could also check out the related article for the backgrounds and some research over airworthiness. Enjoy!

- A pair of Shiriat and Cyat, definitely getting better portraying them over the years.

- A pixel work which turned out quite good considering it's age. As I remember I did this on my old 25MHz 4.86, but sure that in Deluxe Paint II (DOS). The anatomy of the cheetah is not entirely right, but in overall the image works.

- Site design for my stuff, used in the first half of 2009. This was based on a rather simple technology but still was a fluid width design. I don't have it's code any more (Well, probably I do on some of my backups) so I can't tell for sure if it did the fluid width using JavaScript. It only served a static site, although it did so using Ajax heavily (It would put up a loading bar for the next page).

- This large digital image was drawn for more than two months until it was completed (Or better to say I thought there is no much to do with it any more). It is one of my better pieces although it suffers some coloring problems. The theme would be an abandoned city on Earth, with cheetaans wandering around seeking for the sunshine. This is a part of the "original" cheetaan story, that is the story of the first interstellar war between human and cheetaan.

- Flight of a Dragon is a retro style game for the Uzebox open source game console, a bit of 8 bit madness involving an ATMega 644 and a bit of electronics to get it producing a video signal and accepting input from an SNES controller. Now the game is complete so you can finally lead the dragon to his salvation! Thanks to emulation, you may also try it out within your browser!

- A reflection of the 15th March protests in Hungary. There were very few of us out on the streets, this is about what I was feeling looking at the empty space, standing there with a flag of the European Union, a protest for the reformation of the education system. As I later got to know, just about two hours before that the prime minister threatened all the opposing parties and their supporters on his speech that revenge will come after the elections, for a crowd of more than a hundred thousand.

- We are European. A quick image sketched up portraying myself in the protests of April, 2017, Hungary, protesting against the actions of the government leading Hungary out of Europe and humanity itself, back to the dark ages. An now I have a flag of the European Union!
