@sunifinch I swear I did this one year when my style still made most of my animal art have the same general face/muzzle structure (I mostly draw cats lol) and when I realized the cat I drew was supposed to be a canine I just like... Stretched the muzzle a bit and called it good 😭
@remirtillo Right? Idk I think it's kind of neat that people are being given the chance to draw their nostalgic grade-school obsession characters for Artfight of all things. Like how many peoples' art block has this cured for even just one or two drawings?
@comabite As I mentioned, I don't have a code myself yet, but you can follow the same steps on Vgen's Insta, and there's a pretty good chance of getting one!
@FayeFlix Drat! Yet Amazon will never do anything about the multitude of sticker packs featuring art stolen from various artists 🙃
Have you considered maybe reopening your Patreon or membership tiers on Ko-Fi? Just a thought, totally fair if you're not comfortable with the idea of course
@ApocalypticYomi Completely inappropriate for anyone, but especially for someone with such a large following (over 10x that of the artist). Their "vent" is that they paid for artistic liberty, got artistic liberty, and are worried they "possibly" offended the artist? Well yeah! 😭
@KitsuneroVT You paid for a SKEB-style comm and then gave the artist a 1 star review on Vgen when you got something you weren't expecting... It's fine not to "connect" with the design given, but if there were no other issues, there is 0 reason to hurt an artist's business like that. Shameful.
@FayeFlix Honestly why I could never bring myself to even try posting on any art subreddits, even before AI, I'd see artists getting banned just because some mod didn't like the art. Absolutely sucks to hear though ): Artists already have so few safe spaces to post their work
This is Félicette, a stray cat that became the first feline launched into space on 18 October 1963, as part of the French space program. Weighing just five and a half pounds, she was chosen for her calmness and resilience, making her the perfect candidate for the mission.
In October 1963, a black-and-white stray from Paris named Félicette made history as the first and only cat to travel to space. Selected by French scientists for her calm demeanor, she soared 154 kilometers above Earth on a suborbital flight and returned safely, securing her place in space exploration history.
Yet Félicette’s story is as tragic as it is groundbreaking. Just two months after her successful mission, she was euthanized so researchers could study the effects of space travel on her body. Her sacrifice yielded little scientific insight, and for decades, her name faded into obscurity.
That changed in 2019, when a statue was unveiled in her honor at the International Space University in Strasbourg, depicting her gazing toward the stars, a long-overdue tribute to a small cat who helped expand humanity’s reach beyond Earth.
