It’s been two days since I originally posted the final name poll, votes have stopped coming in, and the winner is Kibby!

So, everyone, meet Kibby! Crafted by the community. He is ours! ❤︎

In celebration, I have created a script that changes the default/no avatar (blank) into a randomly selected variant of Kibby! And there are tons, about 25 and more to come.. Thanks for the idea, @sab!

Here is how the script looks in action (sorry for imgur’s shit quality lol)

I’d like to say thank you so much to everyone who has given me their time, feedback, insight, and ideas which helped me, together with you all, develop Kibby further into his wonderful finalized version. Especially thank you to @FixedFun who’s original design and idea kickstarted this entire process. This was super fun, and I am really happy with how he turned out, and I hope you all are too.

I provided svg and png both with and without gradient, a clean the Adobe Illustrator file, and all of the current Kibby variants!

I really like this. Even if it’s not adopted by @ernest to be officially incorporated into Kbin, mods could create little variants to use as the thumbnail for magazines. Really hoping it catches on.

Is there a license associated with Kibby? Might be worthwhile attaching one to him if you want him to be shared and reused.

@jon I’m pretty sure that Kibby would explain the intricacies of the fediverse to newcomers perfectly ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It’d be fun to have a random kbird generator like those monkey NFTs, but for free (of course)
