teku-a-fool's collection

Hell yeah, I love seeing (and picking) character themes! I'm actually not familiar with many of these but the inclusion of Glitch Mob, Submotion Orchestra & Marina makes me wanna check out the rest. ^^

I don't think I will draw full art of these ideas just yet as I want to focus on drawing other OS-tans (and need to slow down) but I wanted to scratch an itch and thought of some ideas for Linux Mint.
I've seen other artist's designs which I like a lot but I wanted to try for myself. What I usually see is that artist do a gijinka for the whole distro. Which makes sense I guess with the way distros releases work. There are often not many changes within versions to make them feel unique I suppose, too.

That said, I still tried to apply the same paradigm as with Windows versions:



Started with 22.3 Zena to give a face to the current-ish version and worked backwards. Nothing much besides that I'm using the Mint colors and trying to do something with the default wallpaper the OS comes with.

20.1 Ulyssa, a bit random tbh. She comes with Hypnotix, an app by the same team.

According to the Linux Mint's about page, they seem to consider 13 Lisa a regression (messy UI and stuff) which made me think of a familiar green-haired clumsy maid.

3.0 Cassandra, again, according to the site, is around the time when the distro started to have a stronger image of itself and while looking for inspiration I saw that image in the old image gallery.

1.0 Ada, the start. It was imperative for her to have cat ears.


Maybe a bad idea, considering the amount of distros that are out there (makes me shudder) but eh. whynot
