QRP with your starry art! been on a bit of a space kick lately

Pixel art illustration depicting the heat death of the universe as a dragon. The dragon's tail starts as a single white pixel and spirals out as it fades to yellow, orange, and red at the dragon's head. The dragon breathes out dark red smoke that fades to ash gray. The pattern of the tail starts with the CMB, the body of the dragon is filled with stars and galaxies, which fade and spread out as they get closer to the dragon's head. There are smokey looking nebulae around the legs of the dragon.

I realized after posting this it was criminal to only post a single blurry image of one of my cats on #caturday, so here's a selection to make up for that

I have started down the path to destruction by learning how to make plushies for my cats

One of my cats, Azure, sniffing the Neko ball plush before immediately running away because I got too close with my phone when something new was introduced into her world.

this is what I love/hate about color theory, my feelings about these two colors change depending on the context. we like to think of white as a blank canvas, that doesn't impart any additional meaning to the things we see, but we can't experience color in a vacuum.

I made a bell for the pixel art advent thing, but I didn't read the instructions and made it too big. oops. here's the process vid, but I don't want to ping the hashtag with my failure to follow directions.
