Stray kitten report 5: Real progress! One month ago, I could barely touch his head, but now, me and my wife have real cuddle sessions with the little Charlie.
As for his sister and mother, we also do progress, they're getting there too: they tolerate us at about 1m away, but petting is still off the menu.

@netbsd I wish you good luck finding an artist to make your artworks, and I salute your no AI policy for it! 🧡

Here is a little watercolor sketch freely inspired by your logo.

Stray kitten report 4: Breaking news! Plot twist. Charlie wasn't alone...
He has a sibling, we suspect a little sister. Geminis! Also, a black mother. I knew it, but they were always both standing far far away, hiding, not even approaching, waiting the night to get food.
But it's changing, they are influenced by the behavior of Charlie (a lot of progress, esp. our play times). Today, I could approach little sis' too. However, the mother, still impossible! a real shadow!

A new term proposal: happy ASCIIdent.
It's when your cat jumps on your keyboard, and the letters create a sort of drawing.

Bonus photos:

- The table of Charlie, decorated.
- Petting session while eating.

Stray kitten report 3: Progress! Charlie ( yep, a name now, and also, pretty sure he's a little male) accepts gentle petting, sort of, though sudden moves and my phone still spook him. I tried to capture three video sequence, but it is still difficult.
He's now meowing for food in broad daylight, and that's a change over the last weeks: before, our 'meeting hour' was only at dusk or night. Our routine: eat, pet while eating, then play time chasing a stick. Then he walks back.

Here is an on-going effort of highlighting and preserving my digital paintings & webcomics for future generations by the BnF ( Bibliothèque Nationale de France, I could translate to 'National Library of France'). They contacted me approx. a year ago, and it's truly a huge honor and support. Thank you. Archiving open culture matters. 💙

Also @davidrevoy did you know one of your comics is used in the Wikipedia page for RTFM?! Kinda cool, honestly.

Stray kitten report 2: yesterday, first petting session accepted! But as soon as the little one saw it was coming from my hand, it was a shock. (hilarious) We're making progress. No photos this time, so I sketched a quick comic to remember it and share with you.

Stray kitten report: after a week to build trust, look where we are now: this little one's finally coming closer. Hopefully just the beginning!

TIL after 70 weekly comics:

Drawing faster, or a faster painting technique doesn't necessary lead to a better productivity and good ratio of artworks I love compared to my time spent on them with my stylus in hand. But I did the mistake of believing this, stubbornly, and for long.

However, a boring technique, even slower, but one you can split in steps, trust, and predict, eliminates many bottlenecks: freezing, endless redos and stress. This leads to a better productivity and peace of mind.

Lol, unintentional AI poisoning 😅

(I'll fix it on the version hosted on the website asap!)

Last review of the season, and let's go to the point: it's a bad model. I don't recommended this one. I'm not even submitting the video to Gaomon for review before posting because I know they would ask me to not post it (it happened in the past with another brand). But I think it should be also known, that's my role in reviews: cover the bad and the good.
