CSS Peasant

Today I coded a drawing of a peasant using HTML and CSS. You can find the code on CodePen:

The style is inspired by the amazing characters of "At the Wall" by Atanas Atanasov... although it's not even close (really, that drawing is A-MA-ZING!)

I tried to add a small animation too: the blinking and something that may slightly resemble the chest moving up and down breathing, but nothing fancy.

Here's a video of how it was done:

LOL 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

....but now that you mention it.... I have my own "CSS Framework": AlmondCSS. Actually, it is not a framework but an opinionated CSS reset that allows some customization.

I've my own framework built in flex and avoiding overrides for better performance, it just needs a refactor and a public webpage... since a year ago... but i'm too busy jumping from a project to another to do that (it's already implemented on big projects but needs a style clean up to be more clean)

Is it on GitHub? Share the link! Maybe I could help a little (I can't promise anything though).

it's on GitLab private repo, github actions came too late and gitlab-ci was convenient 😆

The video is done in "one take". I had to stop a few times due to interruptions but the whole thing is done at once, without any preparation or editing (apart from putting together the pieces).
