Bella's OS-tan Artwork Thread

[Bella]

Here are some OS-tan designs and redesigns I made, using pen and ink with digital coloring. I've only been drawing anime for maybe the past month or two, so please don't laugh

Zenwalk-tan

I've never seen an OS-tan for the Linux distro. So I made one
I put her in the water because the Zenwalk logo is a dolphin jumping over the name Zenwalk.

Sorry I couldn't just link the pix...They only give HTML code.

Woohoo!  ZENWALK!  I love dolphins!  ^___^


Thank you for considering a Linux distros as one of your first original creations.  We of the Open Source leaning salute you!  ^___^/

That being said, the rest of them are exceptional too -- the sexier takes on 2K-tan and Sonata-san are very well made, and my favorites.  ^.^

Considering you've just started, you have a very keen eye for proportions and fashion.  I am liking this very much.  ^__^

Incidentally, what program(s) do you use to paint?

[Kami-Tux]

I am absolutely delighted that you used an OpenSource Operating System as first one. They all are good, but the 'think different' one *lol*

Good Job!

[C-Chan]

Wow, didn't know ZenWalk used XFCE as it's default desktop.  ^.^

Might give their LiveCD a try.  (Although I'm still waiting to give Sabayon LiveDVD a whirl....)  ^___^

Thanks guys! I'm very happy to hear you like them! I'm going to do some more Linux-tans...maybe Tinfoil Hat Linux. It's a very unique OS, both in structure and name, lol. I'm just trying to decide if it should be a paranoid girl hiding under a blanket with a tinfoil hat, or a stealthy spy-like character dressed in black, or a militaristic, camouflage-wearing nut with a gun...lol...
I like to try putting my own style on the different characters. Right now I'm working on a rendition of premium Vistan (Silver haired girl).

I've done a lot of western-style drawings and cartoons, so that's where a got a lot of practice...the hardest thing was trying to make my tans look more  anime-like.

Gimp for some, but I find (And don't laugh) Microsoft Picture It! 9 to be easier. I said don't laugh.

Aurora's design is interesting, as are all of her works! My personal ideas, however, are split into three ideas:

1: A teenage girl, wide-eyed, wearing a tinfoil hat, and clutching a flashlight while hiding under a blanket. She thinks that 'they're' out to get her.

2: A spy, who dresses all in black and is a master of stealthiness. She's very expressionless, not one to give her thoughts away. When she leaves a place, nobody can ever prove she was there (Which mimics THL's albilty to fit on a single floppy disk). My personal favorite.

3: A girl dressed in camouflage, wearing a string of bullets and a gun over one shoulder. (I'm not sure about this one, though, because Tinfoil Hat Linux isn't made to network...and a gun would imply defense rather than avoiding outside intrusion by not connecting with other computers...)

The Penguin God does seem to enjoy posting very old pictures.  ^^;
Here's a bigger one:

That's why I always tell her to maker her own user gallery, since her artwork is strewn all over her the forum.  ^^'

I wouldn't mind seeing her with heavy firepower, though (probably what she'd act like without her hat).  -v-

[Bella]

Those are good ideas too! I especially like the first one because I can picture TinfoilHat-tan being hysterically paranoid, screaming "THEY'RE OUT TO GET ME!! THEY'RE OUT TO GET ME!!"

Thanks! I'm probably going to start working on a few different ideas...I'll post them up here as soon as I'm done.

Nice pictures, btw! My favorite one is the one of Sonata and Homeko because it makes me happy to see pictures of Mac-tans and Windows-tans getting along! ^^

I like the whole Mac-tan/Windows-tan thing too They must realize that they have some things in common. I did that because I like Mac and Windows both...and it annoys me to hear all the arguing about which is better...Windows has good points, Mac has good points, and both have bad points. The two OSs aren't as bad as the zealots on either side would have one think. Well, putting this thread back on track, here are some OS-tans I did today:

Hacchan and Secchan in My-Hime pose? Two thumbs up XD

[Kami-Tux]

Wow, great work again! Especially Hacchan's and Secchan's eyes!of course the rest is also good, but I really like how you drew them!

Nice drawing Bella! To "think different" was nice touch as a statement. Hope we could see you could make more

Here are my Tinfoil Hat Linux Tans!

I did a young one...hiding under her covers and clutching a flashlight:

Here's the same character...Older but nonetheless paranoid!

[Tsubashi]

Aww Man!!! They sound so cool, but I can't see them!!!

Still, having seen your previous work, I've no doubt they're good!
I must apologize for not posting sooner, for some reason I thought I already had ^^'

[Kami-Tux]

Tinfooil-hat-tan is WIN! and AWESOME!

[Bella]

Thanks! I really went wild with the shading of the THL-tans. I figure every one I do is a learning experience for my next OS-tan.
