Recreating the blobcats from the original source material .

Source material is Google’s Noto font: https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/blob/bf295c4/svg/emoji_u1f610.svg

Making progress!

Left: recreated blobcat from the original blob emoji source.

Right: the png I grabbed from mastodon.

In fairness to the right part: I did blow this up from 128px to 750px because I wanted some room to play with.

From here I’ll add a ghosty tail and start making them with flags

@moiety Well into this, I made a few custom ones based on existing blob cats but had to trace them all first >.< I'll be keeping an eye here, and let me know if you need a hand =p

@Shrigglepuss I can share the .sketch-file or .svg-file if you want. I’ll create a GitHub repo too when I have something to show for.

The previous ghosts are pretty crappy in terms of how I made them. So I wanted to do these right 🌟.

@moiety =D Keep me posted! Might be a good opportunity for me to finally learn how to use git too

@polychrome

@moiety queercat_polyam

@Elizafox is there consensus on what the flag is? I see one with a pi sign and one with an infinite sign.

@moiety I'm pretty sure the one most people use is the one

@moiety thank you!

@a_breakin_glass perhaps with community contributions, yes. The initial goal was to create a blobcat ghost with all the flags. Creating a blobcat along the way was inevitable. Adding all the flags to that was trivial.

I will create a github repo this week with the source for this stuff so that people can contribute .

@a_breakin_glass there is now a GitHub repo: https://github.com/ZoeBijl/QueerCats

@moiety brb going to the admin panel to adopt all these cats

@moiety how about the sapphic pride flag from here?

@moiety i'm definitely on the wrong instance

@ThatWallflower you’re always welcome here if you had wanted to join another instance

@moiety is there a repo with all of these?

@void yes! You can find it and the releases here: https://github.com/ZoeBijl/QueerCats/releases/

@moiety Great! may I ask why did you use github? (I'm sorry I just get kinda triggered when I see someone using github)

@void it’s convenient for me. You don’t have to use it.

You can suggest new emoji on this thread if you want. And Mastodon has a handy “copy emoji”-function.

Is there something I’m missing?

@moiety nothing, just techbro bullshit (github is owned by Microsoft and is closed source/pretty capitalist)

@moiety @aldersprig

@phildini @SliverQueen can we add these?

@DialMforMara @aldersprig @phildini @SliverQueen there’s a github repo to make things easier: https://github.com/ZoeBijl/QueerCats
