For Catmoticon Portraits, I used Python to detect the brightness levels in images of my cats and images of things I associate with them. I interlaced the images and represented dark areas of each image with representative emoticons. The Python scripts I used to generate these images can be found on my GitHub as imgtextify-py3.
In Catmoticon Portrait No. 1, I interlace a portrait of one of my cats I affectionately call "Big Cat" with a picture of a tomato I purchased at a supermarket a few blocks away (she has a taste for tomatoes).
In Catmoticon Portrait No. 2, I interlace a portrait of one of my other cats I affectionately call "Little Cat" with a picture of one of their mouse toys (she loves playing a "fetch" of sorts with mouse toys) and a waveform of hew meow (she has a high-pitched meow that really gets to me).
