i dont have a big schpiel for this anniversary but just know that i love everyone here and i love this software and glad were all in a happier place now :)

Your voyager 2 design has been bouncing around in my brain. May I know more about them? :33

Absolutely! Due to the missions' nature, I've characterised both Voyager probes as peaceful, enlightened, and a little esoteric with a love for music and the universe.

Design wise, V2's clothing is based on the Little Prince (due to some parallels with the mission) as well as bunny suits (yes they're called that), they were more lax with the cleanroom regulations back in the day so it's just a hat and coat. I made it black in my design to match the spacecraft's tarp.

They have blue eyes as a reference to the Pale Blue Dot image but I'm quickly realising it doesn't make much sense given that the image was taken by V1 and not 2, so I may change it to whatever the colour of V2's final image was in the future.

Real OGs will remember how both my Voyager designs were radically different from one another where one was designed upside down and the other rightside up; it was to reflect the spacecrafts' almost opposite trajectories but it was sorta a split second decision on my part back then haha.

11: Warm or cool colors?

Cool colours ALL THE WAY! 🧊

In fact, I don’t think I recall ever having used reds and oranges in an atmospheric way. Even my “warm” colours—against all odds—always end up looking cool thanks to how much I love drowning things out with grey.

The lad, the legend, Jibo!
