welcome to the website of jasper telnaga!
I'm Jasper (or Jazz), an artist in my 20s in america. I'm chronically ill, so I'm approaching everything sideways, slowly and irregular. I made this site to have a place to look on and share my accomplishments. Like the things it was made to hold, it will be built slowly and in pieces. Check back whenever to see what's changed!

4/17/24:
- added a sharable button for Calderan Caravan
- due to using them for bg imgs on Moderneopets, i'm working on cropping (expanding?) many tones to tile without any necessary edits
- workin on my site in files rather than neocities directly. this is helping me 1. edit and experiment without clogging the feed 2. learn better practices and clean things up, bc neocities makes a lot of allowances i shouldn't necessarily depend on in my code! it's mostly involving in-site links. this is another thing that'll be a lot of work to get universal but once it is it will save me a lot of trouble going forward (heart)
- added a planned updates section!
4/5/24:
- added a page for verifiable, a webcomic strip ive been making with random images i have saved
4/3/24:
- made a cute little site button for about time, will probably make one for CC soon
- went through everything to change the menu bars again. I made hub/index pages for each category, and aside from this main index page here, every page's menu just links to these index pages. otherwise every time I add stuff to the site, I'll have to edit every menu bar again! but this way I can just edit the category indexes and this page.
- so yeah, to repeat, I made index pages for everything! comics and misc are new, art and writing have been changed a bit.
3/19/24:
- did in fact add a lot of alt text to stuff! not completely done, but a lot of the main site has alt ids now
- revamped the about time layouts to be mobile compatible! since the later style is very screentone-dependent i had to forego resizing at all; they scroll instead. calderan caravan uses tones too but the shapes and styles just end up being a lot more readable when scaled
- put nice fonts in! might do the same with the comic themes.
3/14/24:
3/13/24:
- made a site button! it lives on the guestbook page, which I will also hopefully fill with cool sites (there's one already you should check out!)
- added two picrews: bright's picrew hell and potatolord's persona creator
- uploaded three new songs to my bandcamp go check em out
- put the top menu buttons almost everywhere :)
3/7/24:
1/30/24:
- overhauled the top nav bar! buttons are now dropdowns, they also work on mobile. i'll be trying to add this nav par to other pages across the site
1/19/24:
oh baby!
- overhauled pmd comic, named it Calderan Caravan, gave it a spiffy layout and such. made it all nice and readable on mobile too. need to do this for about time as well
- added new stuff to the art gallery, and smoothed out the edges of the layouts there (both galleries -grouped entries look better, and it’s all mobile compatible now!)
- have quite a few things in the works, mostly housekeeping and shuffling, making things make a bit more sense (but still genuine and weird)
- i also want to start putting up the main writing project i’ve been working on. it’s about a girl, marked as a bad omen, running away from her home island to explore the skies with a dragonbird. im planning on uploading it as a serial, with an illustration for each chapter. :)

10/1/23:
- added new art to current gallery :)
- added links to every image on both galleries, so viewing fullsize is clicking instead of opening in a new tab
- made resized thumbnails for any gallery images 800px or over, so the gallery pages will use less bandwith!
9/14/23:
- new untitled PMD comic page (i really need to come up with a title for it lol), replaced all pmd comic disqus sections with html comment box
- uploaded two new (old) songs to my bandcamp

what I've got
I'm working on a lot of different stuff all the time!
If anything doesn't have a link, that means I'm working on putting it up.
- Art:
- Gallery: I like to draw fantasy, creatures, landscapes, and characters. My gallery holds my best picks from my art of the past few years. The full, uncurated selection can be seen at my tumblr.
- Pixels: I have a separate page for a series of pokemon-like pixel creatures I like to add to occasionally.
- Comic, About Time: A comic about an antisocial fourteen year old being chosen to become a magical girl and fight an encroaching otherworldly empire, and not really liking it all that much.
- Comic, Calderan Caravan: based on the world of pokemon mystery dungeon, following a group of pokemon adventurers on their journey together across their island.
- Writing:
- Hanem Flies: working title for serialized fiction about Hanem, a young girl with a disfiguration marking her as ill fortune, running away from her home on the back of a dragonbird. Together they explore her world of vast skies, floating islands, nomadic gathering-places, and single celled megafauna.
- Layman's Guide to Magic: The Kingdom of Ashlind is structured to keep its citizens in the dark. Magic is shunned and feared, only allowed and taught under the strict employ of the Throne, though witches, phenomenon, and dangerous creatures lurk in the dark regardless. Peace is incompetently kept by wayard, charismatic knights. Oswin, young, struggling, and new to the world at large, attempts to find his place in the crushing structures, and in his wandering begins glimpsing behind the curtains. this project is most likely retired, possibly not permanently.
- Shatterstar: The gods have been choosing mortal champions, bestowing them power and curses to combat an impending doom. In succession, they've all failed, and the world is ending. Rune, a woman with a troubled past living with nomads in the wastes, finds herself picked out as the last champion - with no expectation of success. this project is most likely retired, possibly not permanently.
- Angel Territory: A short environmental horror story, available in full.
- Elder Scrolls OCs: Kota-Thota, the stocky stoic argonian nerevarine, and her inquisitive, excitable dunmer companion Idras. Daro'maja, the sly, cryptic, and curmudgeonly khajiit champion, and her strange, bitter, sharp-witted altmer companion Mithil. Sedrana, the personable, mischievous dunmer, and Rabbit, the softspoken, studious khajiit, both Dragonborn.
- Music: My bandcamp holds all the songs I've made. They tend to be short and simple, but I like them.
- Misc:
I learned how to code as a kid on
neopets, but you can learn to
code HTML at any time.
