This is amazing! I really like that in "Teiresias", if you make the canvas narrow enough, the man jumping (presumably Teiresias) changes position and gets a white beard instead of white long hair. Just to still give the impression that it's an old sage, in small vertical space.

No, it's showing the sex change. He goes from long hair with breasts to losing his hair but getting a long beard.

"In Greek mythology, Tiresias... was a blind prophet of Apollo in Thebes, famous for clairvoyance and for being transformed into a woman for seven years."

The amazing part about the Tantalos slide was that its responsive implementation actually captured the ethos of the myth itself - no matter how far he reached, the fruit moved ever farther away. outstanding work.

I think there's a lot of thought that went into these. The "Teresias" one has the character's bald head and beard morphing into longer hair, I think suggesting that the gender changes as in the myth of Tiresias [1].

I think he (Marcus Blättermann) presented at a meetup in Berlin [2] in a talk called "Resolution-Independent Illustrations in Pure JavaScript". Does anyone have more information on how this was created?
