Dossier
Hello, I'm Tigris! On the Internet, I exist primarily within the therianthrope, fictionfolk, and furry communities. My mechanical kudu fursona, Hardtek, is pictured here and appears throughout the website.
Otherwise, I'm passionate about natural history, especially where it concerns antelopes and wild cattle. I'm partial to domestic cattle, too! In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the (post-)industrial genre, managing this website, and illustrating animal characters. I've kept rabbits for the last decade and they've grown to be my favourite species of pet.

About the Website
Why did you make a website?
I find the creative merits of personally-crafted websites interesting. Until finding a host in Neocities, I had never sat down to teach myself how to hand-code a webpage before. Why not start? Having my very own zone drawn out in the Internet's sands, a permanent dwelling I can take anywhere I wish, that I can add to as frequently or infrequently as I happen to, appealed to me.
To my (dis)credit, I've never been a socially-oriented person. Meaning, the animated stage presence required on social media to be likeable bothers me far too much when I don't even really want those rewards. I'm naturally private and deliberate: I'd rather spend a week considering an article or forum response two people will read than five minutes banging out a post a thousand will. So, I soon let those quick-fix social media platforms go and now dedicate my spare time to surfing the independent web.
I have a fondness for the DIY ethic. I enjoy the 'scenic route' both literally and figuratively: there'll always be a faster solution, but I find joy in gaining knowledge. Sure, using a no-code website builder would shave off a few hundred hours and prevent a few headaches but I would miss out on developing the skills I have. I would miss out on the bond forged with my website from spending those same several hundred hours in its files. I find gradual, purposeful processes rewarding, not burdensome. We all should slow down and do something the hard way once in a while.
Growing up alongside this website — it reflecting what I have learned, was a beautiful thing to notice. I wanted a space to poke a little something under the door. I also wanted a grand project with no true end. I don't know what this website will look like or what it will host in a few more years. It will evolve like anything else.
What was the process?
The first version of the website emerged in August 2022 and looked like this. After a few months, I graduated from that familiar Sadgrl layout, following it up with several major iterations containing an increasing amount of independent work and technical understanding. The version of the site we are standing on right now began in July 2025 — taking me around two months to rebuild from scratch. In October 2026, I overhauled the stylesheet, giving the website a more minimalist appearance to aid responsiveness.
For this version, I set out to rewrite everything in an empty, separate folder to ensure no ancient rookie errors or poor formatting remained. Pretty much every page uses flexbox in some way. Truly the hero of our time.
You might notice this website has less going on than others on Neocities. This is intentional. I don't believe constructing a flashy, maximalist aesthetic is worth sacrificing accessibility. I have kept layouts responsive, organised, and easy to visually comprehend. I've avoided flashing gifs, over-embellishment, illegible text, or overwhelming animation. I encourage other webmasters to keep this in mind for their own work, too. If a design can't be made adaptable, the experience of those different to you shouldn't be sacrificed.
Can I copy something?
It wouldn't be right for me to say every line of code here is mine so you somehow can't copy it from inspect element. Nothing is nailed down, and neither am I wielding the hammer for it. I wouldn't have been able to grasp the language if I didn't pry apart stolen elements from other webmasters before I wrote up my own.
However, I encourage potential new webmasters to reverse-engineer my code. Preferably enough that I don't notice you used it as a template. Please improve on it and customise it for your taste rather than paste huge swathes of CSS. Everything you see here was typed out by hand after a few years of casual self-study — you can build something to be proud of.
For the written and drawn content of this website, I permit saving, sharing, and archiving for non-commercial purposes alongside appropriate attribution to me. The work and its derivatives must always remain free to access.
Who is the site mascot?
His name is Hardtek, and he's my fursona. He assumes the form of a mechanical greater kudu, or Tragelaphus strepsiceros machinalis. Here's his dedicated webpage and Toyhouse page.
If you wish to draw him, I'd love to see it!
How can I contact you?
I can be reached at falconiforme[at]protonmail.com.
You can contact me with enquiries, comments, bug reports or accessibility issues, or conversation. I don't bite.
Please don't be afraid of including a lot of information or questions in your first correspondence; don't send in single sentences like "Hi", "Can you answer a question?" or "Can I send you [x]?" Yes, and I'll be able to tell your email is genuine if you share what you had in mind first off.
Don't use email or have something brief to tell me? Comment on my Neocities wall!
