Final Twitter Bot

Pasting Faces of animals on top of the human faces on the picture

The first idea for creating this bot was inspired by some pictures I saw of a Japanese needle- felting expert Housety Sato and his gigant cat head. I also love cats so at first the idea was using only cats, but why stop with cats I cropped the animal faces on photoshop and saved them with a transparent background to make a cooler effect. There is also an application in the iTunes store that does a similar work on photos (Animal Face- IG Selfie Editor & Stickers for Pictures).

I added another feature to the bot. It writes a random quote from a specific file. I made a list of animal quotes to continue with the theme.

About

This bot was presented on the Summary SS2015. The bot made new images recognising human faces and placing random animal faces from an specific directory. After a couple of hours the problem was that twitter suspended the writing actions of the bot and the bot can't respond to any tweet.

No Eyes Bot is still great. Huge effect with little code!
I have cleaned up your page a bit and added a comment section. Everybody else, please do the same with your pages.
You get the "Images do not match" error because the images and the rectangle you pass to the paste method don't match.
If you use the *paste* method with the correct box size it should work.
