Another Sticker v2

I made another sticker for hendersoncat.com using QR Code Monkey

This all started in a burst of energy around 2 am. I had been sitting on this great photo of hendersoncat on Mike's shoulder. Started by using segment anything model to simplify the lifting of henderson out of the photo.

In gimp, I started with a 1920px square canvas and added both qr code png and the henderson cutout png, roughly placing the henderson over the code. This is a QR code with error correcting bits so it should be fine.

Used the lasso tool to rough out polygonal paths for hendersons body and eyes using seperate transparent layers and the fill tool to create a cel-shaded henderson. It's the experession in the eyes that is the highlight of this sticker.

I hand painted the shadow of henderson on the code. This is when I tested the code and realized that the top right qr eyelet was too obscured. This required rotation of 90 degrees so the bit loss wouldn't occur on the eyelets.

The drop shadow was used to separate the qr code from the global border around the whole sticker. I think this provides the extra visual depth that was missing from the v1 henderson sticker.

no proofs or prints yet.
