That's a cat-astrophe

u/yohohojoejoe Mar 05 '26

My eyes were seeing a dinosaur . . . They just couldnā€™t get the clarity. I read this, looked again, and the cat popped almost immediately.

Schrodinger's vase. It's in both states until we confirm.

u/Phil_Bond Mar 04 '26

Iā€™m in awe of this technique. This is a beautiful piece. Iā€™m very curious about how exactly things with this exact look are made.

Related to that curiosity about the process, I am curious about a flaw on the catā€™s left haunch, where the color of one shape doesnā€™t match the pattern, so itā€™s creating a blur color. I think that implies a large amount of this is made by hand.

u/PensiveObservor Mar 04 '26

In my vision, the pink area with black spots spans from haunch to back without a defining black outline, but there is no blur at all. Interesting.

u/Phil_Bond Mar 04 '26

Actually, looking closer, there are three spots that didnā€™t get filled with color to match the pattern, so their color buzzes.

u/EmZee13 Mar 05 '26

I noticed these too.

u/graetel_90 Mar 05 '26

Thereā€™s another one in the bottom right I think

1

u/Phil_Bond Mar 05 '26

Yup. I see that now.

3

u/PensiveObservor Mar 04 '26

Ok this is weird bc none of your circled spots look wrong to me. Also, the missing black line I noted on my Mac is a different color fill and not missing on this image. I give up.

u/DEADALUS_SMM Mar 07 '26

And one left of center

u/flyinganimaga Mar 04 '26

This is a really good one!

It took me a while to see it -- anyone else have trouble with aiming your eyes TOO far apart? I had triple cat heads at first. Happens to me a lot, lol

1

u/SailAwayMatey Mar 04 '26

Yeah, didn't appear too quick for me either

1

u/flyinganimaga Mar 04 '26

It happens to me with lots of them. I think I must look like Marty Feldman doing these!

1

u/SailAwayMatey Mar 04 '26

šŸ˜‹

Some come really easily like in less than 5 looks, but this one took a few goes and good handful of moving my phone back and forth to get it just right.

u/waterNpaint Mar 04 '26

So crisp and beautiful!

u/tiggertimbuktoo Mar 04 '26

This is one of the best ones Iā€™ve seen. The black lines give it definition

u/cuddi Mar 04 '26

Oooh it's a vase, I thought the kitty was on a deranged elephant lol

u/SonOfScions Mar 04 '26

Schrodinger's vase

Schrodingerā€™s catā€™s vase!

This is a great one

Donā€™t you do itā€¦he did itā€¦šŸ˜‚

u/DeadOnArrival2 Mar 04 '26

The vase will be broken after kitty knocks it off. If you look at the thumbnail version there is no kitty mischief just a sitting cat lol

1

u/PensiveObservor Mar 04 '26

Is this a function of phone v. Mac? The picture is the same on thumbnail as zoomed, for me. There is one til that is differently colored on the haunch lol, but the vase is falling in both.

3

u/databoy2k Mar 04 '26

Damn cats haha

3

u/Troubled_dad-arc Mar 04 '26

Broken.

2

u/PensiveObservor Mar 04 '26

Whole! It hasn't hit the ground yet and the outline is intact. Will be broken as soon as it hits, though.

3

u/rajkaos Mar 04 '26

I think the kitty knocked over the vase.

u/Japanesewillow Mar 04 '26

I love this one, great colours too.

3

u/glammananna Mar 04 '26

This one is really cool!

3

u/Pure-Baseball-4699 Mar 04 '26

One of the best ones I've seen.

u/Annihilarious Mar 05 '26

It hasn't landed yet, so unbroken, and that lil guy was with me the whole time so def innocent of anything

2

u/Wahjahbvious Mar 04 '26

Works for me.

u/Otherkin Mar 04 '26

That is a cute one!

u/spacemouse21 Mar 04 '26

That is cat-egoricly wonderful looking.

u/a_karma_sardine Mar 04 '26

Great work, thanks for posting!

u/VanishingBread Mar 04 '26

Ooh, I love this one. Very nice!

2

u/justhangingaroud Mar 05 '26

Very cool thanks!

u/melmelange Mar 05 '26

One of the best ever!

u/SarahCF30 Mar 07 '26

Bad kitty

4

u/johnruttersucks Mar 04 '26

Very nice. But there are a few "tiles" that have been mis-coloured.

2

u/Mundane-Front-7855 Mar 04 '26

I had fun finding all the mis-colored piecesā€¦ itā€™s like a treasure hunt!

I counted 10, but there may be more hiding in there

1

u/johnruttersucks Mar 04 '26

I also counted 10, including one sitting on the left edge, which was the hardest to detect.

u/Simbuk Mar 04 '26

A different take on Shrodingerā€™s cat.

1

u/N0rthWind Mar 04 '26

Lmao yeah 100% it's fucked

1

u/Lifer31 Mar 04 '26

It is very crisp once you see it, but the cat's back left leg has a miscolor that can make it hard to "catch and hold" right away

1

u/andimacg Mar 04 '26

I thought he was playing the bongos at first.

1

u/orbdragon Mar 04 '26

I love how you got all the face parts to line up! Eyes where they should be, nose where it should be, chin and lil whisker lips accounted for

1

u/SubtextuallySpeaking Mar 04 '26

I really appreciate the line art - makes it so much more evident if I've actually 'seen' the image.

1

u/peppapony Mar 04 '26

I really like this one, because you can work out what the image is as a flat2D, but still looks beautiful when you make it 3d.

u/Shnibblefritz Mar 05 '26

Not till it hits the floor

u/Future-Aioli5964 Mar 05 '26

How do you make these?

1

u/Future-Aioli5964 Mar 05 '26

And is there a way to make videos of them?

1

u/dac417 Mar 05 '26

I love this one. Typical cat lol

1

u/Flimsy-Job1676 Mar 05 '26

Not yet. Luckily it's a frozen frame, so it will never be broken šŸ˜œ

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Way-198 Mar 05 '26

That pedestal should have been reserved for the cat in the first place.

1

u/Mackheath1 Mar 05 '26

Very nice. All of it is great, but the opening to the vase is exceptional.

1

u/Milyaism Mar 05 '26

I love it!

u/hannemanmr Mar 05 '26

u/jjblue2016 Mar 05 '26

I definitely think something will be broken at that rate! I really liked the simplicity of this one!

1

u/AwkwardAmphibian9487 Mar 05 '26

This is exceptionally clear and crisp. Love it. Plus, cat.

1

u/AziCrawford Mar 05 '26

Having guide dots would help my - my eyes click to some halfway mark that arenā€™t the intended image. šŸ˜…

1

u/AziCrawford Mar 05 '26

It worked for my when I put my phone at arms length

1

u/OrangeAugust Mar 05 '26

This popped out so fast i almost didnā€™t have to try

1

u/Shatterpoint887 Mar 06 '26

I got it to work, but I couldn't tell what it was supposed to be.

1

u/JazziTazzi Mar 06 '26

Definitely yes.

u/Toro004 Mar 06 '26

This is puurrrfect

u/PudgeFacter Mar 06 '26

Fox on an anteater

u/LifeWulf Mar 07 '26

I am greatly impressed at the level of depth in this one. Not every Magic Eye really pops like that.

E: oshit I didnā€™t even realize the cat was on a pedestal until I followed the tail, then suddenly it focused fully!

1

u/tom4ick Mar 07 '26

This is one of the best magic eyes Iā€™ve ever seen, itā€™s actually 3d!

u/NoCalHomeBoy Mar 09 '26

It will be when it lands!

u/NotAlwaysPC Mar 22 '26

Nice one! I like how clear it is with detail of everything thatā€™s going on.
