Drawing a seat
Early 2020, somewhere in February or March. I wanted to draw a chair.. thing.
I opened GIMP, and drew a chair. Poorly. Very poorly.
To no surprise, I quickly got bored of staring at a "chair" and decided to add cat ears. Why that specifically? No reason.
That's when I realized that it looks more like a cat than anything.
After a few changes, it became an actual cat looking thing; and best of all, it was my creation.
Rectangular cat looking thing
The more I looked at what I had created, the more I liked it. So I decided to adapt it as a profile picture, and that's when I felt like that image, that rectangular thing could definitely be my icon online. So I used it as that, on a lot of places online, never really thinking that I'd need something else. Not for a while, at least.
Chair: Remastered Edition
Somewhere in early-mid-2020, I cannot exactly remember when (apparently I uploaded it to my personal OneDrive in June 2020),
I decided "screw it, I might as well try remaking Chair in a 2000px PNG file, that doesn't look like a crappy 500px MS Paint drawing".
So I did that. And it's now been a year and a half, and I barely used anything else as a profile picture online.
This image is mine, I made it. Why use something else?
The Blinking Thing
I don't remember specifically what happened here. All I know is that some day I got bored and decided "im gonna animate chair in wick to make him blink".
So now there's this thing. It blinks. Cool. I like this thing. Sometimes I use it, but sometimes I don't because it makes performance crappy
and some services just don't handle GIF files really well with profile pictures (example, Mastodon).
Is it my cat?
No. I did not mean to make Chair look like my cat. Chair and my cat are two different entities disconnected from each other.
Legal Chair license boring stuff
As with any creative art thing, I wanted to put a copyright on it so that it doesn't get stolen, or used in ways I don't approve of. So I decided to put a Creative Commons license on Chair and all of its derivatives. That being said, I really don't mind if you use it for your own work! I don't like being strict. In case you do want to share the image files however, you shouldn't have to worry; the copyright tags are written in the images' EXIF tags.
