Botticelli’s Aphrodite: what she’d look like not as a painting, but as if she walked among us and posed for a photo (I cut out the face from the painting The Birth of Venus and asked AI to convert it into a photorealistic format, while preserving 100% of the facial features).
It feels like we didn’t just cross paths somewhere, but actually met! :-D
A fairly common genotype in Europe.
What’s definitely worth "giving to the world" is the image with the Venus sigil. Because when I searched for a Venus sigil on Google Images to turn into a GIF, it turned out that aside from a simple black-and-white one, there were almost no interesting designs. And the couple that existed were ruined by watermarks.
So, I hope to soon see the Venus sigil I created in Google Images, where it’ll be available to everyone.
I also want to note today that over the last 4 weeks, the number of views on my Facebook has increased by +187%.
Almost doubling in a month is a truly impressive pace. I took a screenshot this morning, and by evening, the number of views reached 34,000. I also gathered 4,500 reactions (likes, comments, reposts) over those 4 weeks.
This frame isn’t in the teaser yet, but it will be in the full version of the video.
Yes, the color of Venus-Aphrodite is indeed pink, and despite yesterday’s initiative with red dresses, I need to take into account the classic perception.

I also clarified how to properly pronounce the words "saha" / "sah" and "namaha" / "namah," as I’d come across both variants.
It turns out both are correct. However, "sah" and "namah" are from ancient Sanskrit, while "saha" and "namaha" are modern versions of these words, which are now more commonly used in India (similar to the difference between Old Church Slavonic and modern Ukrainian). So, I opted for the more melodic version (with the "a" at the end).
The full version of the track will be 3 minutes long, and I’ll finish it in April.
