little bits of art

[forgotten_aria]

I made this:


hoping for an lj icon, but didn't quite get the scaling. I spent a lot longer working on it than I'd hoped and I'm a little disappointed with how it came out. Perhaps I should make a photocopy of the and hand color it. Maybe I should cut a few cats out first to make it a better lj icon.

Anyway, it's a little bit of doodle, so I thought I'd share.

There's some loss of quality, but it's 100x100 and it's less than 40K:

I know how to shrink it. I just didn't think it sharnk that well.

You get better quality if you shink it not in RGB mode.



I need to make the cats bigger and less baground and all sorts of tweeks before it will look good at 100.

Like this, only more so:



But really I think the intial designed is flawed for lj-dom.

yeah, the cats don't read so well at small sizes.

the picture is awesome though :)

I like your doodle. It comes across as a lot nicer than a doodle. =)

I supposed given the time I spent on it, I can't really call it a doodle. I just didn't fee right calling it art either.

I really like the cats, but agree they don't render well in a lj icon. maybe pick one or two cats and make an icon out of them? It's a nice picture if you don't shrink it down though :) I really like all the cats (i guess i already said that) and how you colored them.

That's really good!

xv is the best thing I've found for resizing, especially
if you do a "s" to interpolate right after the resize:
