snowyukitty
A feline avatar of snowy‿smile, and a companion along the way.
snowyukitty is one of snowy‿smile’s avatars: a cat that expresses a part of the creator’s world, without standing for the whole person. The cat can also be a companion. Its everyday form is a white cat with a pink nose, a bare crown and no glasses. Reading and coding sometimes call for glasses; other moments take shape in ink, paper or starlight. Tap the cat to explore its forms.
In motion
An animated character for codefilm. Every frame is a pure function of time: spontaneous blinks, breathing, a trailing tail and turns led by the head. The default is a bare white cat; glasses and snow appear when the scene calls for them.
Everyday cat: blink, twitch, wink, meow
The same renderer exports frames on codefilm’s Skia canvas at 24 fps. Repeated frames are byte-identical and take about 1 ms to draw. The existing reel passed the comfort check with a maximum luma step of 12/255 and no still span of 1 second or more.
A cat, many forms
Each form explores a thread from snowy‿smile’s world through the cat. The crown is usually bare; glasses belong to reading and coding. Snow may settle on the head or ear tips, or appear as a yukiwa ring or a hexagonal ice plate. These forms can wear any pose below.
