Introduction

Bit is both my first ever character and character design, having been designed all the way back in 2017. Its unknown what exact date he first debuted, as much like Mocha, his earliest designs have been lost to time.

Significance

Bit was my first ever character design, as well as my first ever online identity. As a result, a lot of what I have today can be attributed to the things I did back when I used Bit as my online identity.

The reason I first started learning to draw was because I couldn't afford commissions, but wanted a profile picture of Bit to use on Discord. Without that, I don't think I ever would've started drawing, let alone posting the work I do online.

Design

Bit's design is fairly simple, consisting of orange square halftone patterns on white fur. The patterns are used to transition into orange fur on the left ear, right arm, left leg, and tail. He has orange eyes and a matching orange scarf, which I often depicted the tied off parts of the fabric as floating.

Bit's design has remained mostly unchanged to this day (aside from his height being reduced from 175cm to 173cm at some point), and therefore this reference sheet is up-to-date still.

Trivia

• As of 2025, Bit still holds the record as my longest serving character, having served as my online identity for around 5 years.
  • This record will likely be overtaken by Mocha in 2026, as he took over that role in 2021, meaning he has served just over 4 years at this point.
• Bit is the only character I've ever commissioned an artwork of.
• Bit is the only character design of mine to have never undergone any notable design changes
  • This makes him and Karari my only characters to never have their designs changed, and therefore also not receive "Design History" sections on their pages.
• Bit's patterns were based on a procedurally generated pattern I made with a program when I first was learning to code.
• Bit's height on his reference sheet is listed as 175cm (5'9), instead of his current height of 173cm (5'8). I'm unsure when his height was changed.
  • I'm also unsure why he was 175cm (5'9) in the first place, as all my characters are the same height as myself, and I sure don't recall ever being 175cm (5'9).
• Bit is my only character with a nose.
