Welcome

I've moved! Go check out my new site at DougTy.com.

 

Dvondrake Studios is the online portfolio of Canadian-born animator and programmer Doug Tyrrell, currently living in El Paso, TX.

Everyone always asks where the name "Dvondrake" came from. Truth be told, it was what I named my first email address when I was 10. I don't really know how it came to be, it just popped into my head and I used it. Since then I've been using it as my alias on various forums and games, and through the years it's just managed to stick. Also, it's pronounced "dee-vohn-drayk".

Probably the most 'well known' thing I've made is MistCMS, a content management system made in PHP--to dynamically manage the content of your website without having to hard-code everything. I made it to manage my site (this one), so what you're seeing is actually a live demo of just what MistCMS can do--albeit no admin panel demo. But try it out for yourself, just go to the "scripts" page on the right. I've tried to make everything as user-friendly and lightweight as possible. Skinning in MistCMS is as easy as putting a couple snippets of code into a template, unlike most content management systems where you tend to have four or more template files just for one page. That's why I made MistCMS.

Well, whatever you've come here for, I hope you enjoy. There will be a lot of bigger, better things coming in the future, so I hope you don't forget about me too soon. Thanks for visiting!
