The Adventures Of Woke Cat #01

“Damn, I missed.”
“Serves you right for trying to catch birds in current year. You lot are gonna drive them extinct.”
“That’s propaganda, we’ll never run out of robins.”
“That’s denialism. Bird species are going extinct at unprecedented rates due to cat activity.”
“Well, it’s survival of the fittest. Not my fault if we’re ahead in the evolutionary arms race.”
“I know we naturally evolved to catch birds, but you don’t have to just eat whatever your ancestors did. We live in modern society with grocery stores and all that.”
“Someone starts a grocery store and suddenly I’m messing up nature by following my natural instincts? I guess I should just be locked up inside, and only cats like you should be outdoor cats, right, fascist?”
“That’s not what I’m saying, and we’re never going to break the control mechanisms that create indoor cats if you just keep trying to shift responsibility for your choices. The people in charge didn’t end up in that position by refusing to learn anything.”
“Whatever, not my problem.”
I am not much of a visual artist, so I used unpaid chatbot-generated drawings and converted to pixel art in GIMP with some corrections by hand.
Wow, it turned out nicely indeed.
And I’m a fan pixel art. Were there any particular filters or tools you used in GIMP to pixelize?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed
My conversion steps:
If you want some more control over the output, maybe consider putting together a color palette and then indexing to that palette specifically. Lets you inspire the end result more directly and colors will be the same for the full process.
Thanks for explaining. Are you planning to do more in this style, or this more of a one-off?
Not sure yet. Since I’m not great at drawing myself, the art style might change each time, but I will probably do at least a couple more of these
It turned out great! It’s such an arresting style.
