    Photo?

    Have any favourite styles, influences, genres, designs, etc? Do you have any cartoon cats that you like? I could meld 2 or more together into a new one reminiscent of them but completely unique.

        I don't really expect that, ever. I'll be thrilled if I'm wrong. The mascot idea is far from new. Perhaps it will change when I start the online store.

        I've saved your comment, should I ever get around to updating the SaidIt article on Infogalactic. I used to care about documenting the history and such. I'm moving on to greater projects (I hope).

          Here's a temporary kitty until I get the sketchpad out.

          Here's one I just took. I can do a photo dump on Imgur of Gizmo if y'all want to use him. It probably makes more sense to do a stylized tuxedo cat rendition of Gizzie just so I don't own the living mascot, although now that I said it, that sounds kinda cool.

          Cute cat, sweet face. Is there more to the pattern? Any chance you can get a few angles?

          The pattern is peculiar. I'm trying to think of ways to address it aesthetically.

          First thing that pops to mind is the Canadians on South Park with their detached heads.

          A tuxedo is a great idea! However, I have 2 issues with that. A tux is fancy, usually implying wealth, etc. All neck ties are symbols of status quo leashes. A remedy for both is to lose the tie with an open collar to convey that SaidIt is both classy and casual.

          Another issue for both your cat and tuxedos is the boring lack of colour. It doesn't make for a dynamic character. However, aside from CSS changes, SaidIt is pretty bland too, all in greys, aka black & white. On the plus side, it makes for simpler printing when the day returns where we print things in black & white. (Also, I aim to start a web store in 2021, including SaidIt merch.)

          Any chance you can get a few angles?

          Here's some more. Need a specific angle?

          [–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

          I don't need angles so much as the fur pattern. It looks like it's the lower lip, neck and chest. Further? The feet? I guess it all depends how accurate we want it, if that's even an issue.

          More importantly, would SaidIt even care or utilize a mascot?

          What's the name?

          [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

          Gizmo's name? We call him Gizmo. Or fatass. Or monster. Or Gizzie Moto.

          I'm arguing with the wife. I say she should sit in the bedroom with her tits out while I eat my BLT and she thinks I'm drunk.

          LOL

          I think that's hilarious and you should video your argument and your wife's tits.
