I wanted to share this work with you! It's not finished yet, so your suggestions or corrections would really help me improve the final result. For now, I've only colored the skin 🫶 I'll leave it in the comments

I want to clarify that I DID NOT USE AI. I found the image on Pinterest and wanted to draw it so that it conveyed a real feeling, unlike empty AI.

A few years ago I posted in this sub about a cat loss, and everyone’s messages helped me heal so much (even if they also made me sob). I eventually adopted another cat, Cora, who I’ve had for a year. 10 or so weeks ago we rescued a kitten here, that my mom found outside. She completely changed our lives. She was so sweet, so so smart, so gentle and funny. She was intuitive. She was snuggly and perfect. She mimicked our kisses by biting our lips or noses. She would lay with one of us for 3 minutes or so before running to the other and then repeat.

When my mom found her, she bottle fed her because she was abandoned by her mom. I mean her eyes weren’t even open. We took her in when she could live off of cat food as her main food source and it was genuinely love at first sight. She never cried because she missed my moms, she just immediately knew we were her people. My other cat, Cora, loved her wholeheartedly. She bathed her all the time. Our dog, Alfred, was so gentle and loved her as much as she loved him. She was our glue.

She got sick with pneumonia, then recovered. We did a round of vaccines. A round of boosters. She got sick again, we were so confident she would recover because she did before. She was a fighter in ways you can’t understand. She had insurance so we spared no expenses. She was hospitalized and the vets were so confident. She was eating and drinking. Alert. We were waiting on send out labs for further treatment. But she crashed a few days in. She didn’t make it. We’ve sent her for necropsy just to ensure our other cat is safe, but the wound is so gaping.

I miss her more than I can explain here. It helped me before to speak about my cat I lost here. So I’m just looking for your kind words again. My heart feels empty, I didn’t realize how full she made it. Our sweet baby, 16 weeks old, gone far too soon. So Reddit, I just wanted you to meet Pip. Loved beyond measure, beyond time.

Rolex is a little love bug who wants nothing more than to be as close to your heart as physically possible. Rolex doesn't just love affection. He craves it. He seeks it. He lives for it. The moment you settle into bed, here he comes, ready to curl up beside you and nuzzle his little face against yours. And when I say close, I mean CLOSE. He's a talker, too! He’ll happily hold a conversation with you, shower you with kisses, and gently knead away with his tiny paws as he settles into his happy place.

Plus a bonus glamour flump shot at the end 😂

Hi!! This is my progress on an unfinished animation that I thought would be fun to share here!! I plan on animating and color grading Mae in the final version so she might look a little out of place here but other than that I'd love to hear any suggestions I could add or change about it :)

Look at you, rat. The very sight of you makes me sick. What a disgusting, horrid creature you are.

My best friend showed me this image in our private discord server when we were going back down memory lane and I almost broke into tears.

This photo was taken back in 2016 when Maryland's Toy's R US was still opened. Before I had a phone I was filled with joy and happiness of my 1st ever mega construx set, and throughout that day my love for these toys grew even stronger.

Thanks Mega Construx for the memories...
