I was following the link to "How I did it" and noticed that I got SSL cert errors for the site: https://www.chrispattle.com/blog/simpsons-in-css/ https://www.chrispattle.com/blog/simpsons-in-css/ You're using the cert for octopushr.app...

    Thanks for the heads up, I've just removed those links for now. Wasn't expecting anyone to come across them!

        I just built the characters up using simple shapes that you can draw in CSS (e.g squares, circles) and layer them on top of each other. I guess an illustrator would do a similar thing.

  Amazing achievement. How long did it take you to do each?
  • pattle 7y ago
    From memory a couple of hours for each character

      And I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to align those god damn boxes...
