Title: PalmOS-tan
Post by: C-Chan on July 16, 2006, 10:48:09 PM
Hello everyone.

Production speed improved a little since Amiga-tan.  
But due to some other pressing tasks and my stubborness to add more than one character this time,  I'm actually not done with this pic yet.  
Therefore, since I overshot my deadline and probably won't get to this again in a week, I figured I should post what I have now since all that really remains are additional characters in the background.

So here goes,....

Gambette ne, Palm-tan!!  ^o^

<<<NOTE: PICTURE MOVED TO Annex (http://ostan.blackdiam.net/viewtopic.php?t=231)>>>

In case this image freaks you out, please keep in mind that PalmOS-tan's concept is based off the manga/anime series called "Midori Days".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_Days

It was the best way I could find to pay homage to the whole "palm of your HAND" theme.

Being that Windows CE is already a fairy, I decided to make Palm-tan a genie.  
Pick up the magic stylus and she appropriates your hand for herself (Me-tan happens to be the unfortunate host today).  
She'll stay there only until she grants you three wishes, after which she disappears to find another host.

Despite her size and awkward "placement", she's actually quite "handy" (*snicker*), intelligent and resourceful,... just as long as you don't make any of those three wishes.  
If so, you'll just get excuses, procrastination, LONG delays, and (if you're lucky) half-assed results.  

She has some control over where her magic stylus appears, so for obvious reasons you'll never see it near the likes of Dr. Norton.

And despite being friendly and receptive to most OS-tans, she and Windows CE are MORTAL enemies.  
Encounters never lead to anything besides a quick skirmish or an epic battle (and almost always at the expense of Palm-tan's host).

Well, that should quickly cover her background.  ^__^

And hopefully ME-fans will enjoy her new 'jammies....  ^^'

I cant see it  ;018 this is an OUTRAGE!! Must see jammies!! (IMHO jammies are one of the cuttest things a girl can wear)  NOW! that and I wanna see this tan that Ive now read about.  I demand a repost!!.... please?

In a related comment, actually Ive been pondering jammies for all the girls for use in digicon, since wakeup/sleep sceans are very popular/common in manga.  I hadnt gotten to MEtan so Im anxios to see what you have.

Yikes!  Really?  I thought everyone could see Photobucket images?  (Darkknight!!  What's the meaning of this?!  ^0^)

The forum's attachment feature doesn't seem to be working at my current location.  So please try the HTML link to the Photobucket version:

And yes, we must have more Jammies!  ^___^

Oh right, almost forgot.... ^^'
I do hope you'll like my rendition of ME-tan, but I should probably disclaim that the pajamas themselves aren't too much to get excited over.  They're fairly simple, to keep in line with this cel-shading approach.

hehe Looks cute.  Im guessing id need to have used or know something about the OS to get a full appriciation for her, but your drawing skills arnt too bad at all!  Actually, what you exel at spicificly is the digital coloring.  You can do things with color I cant even fathom.  Masterful dropping graphics in as textures/patterns and having them fit seamlessly into the drawing.  If I had to guess tho.. Id say you used the pen tool but didnt taper your lines.  When you do your in take a fine eraser at a high magnification shave off some of the line so it tapers as a line would from a pen or a pencil leaving the paper.   Good cell shading, youll have to give me some tips sometime, I cant seem to do cell.  Soft shading I got down tho!  Maybe we could do a collab sometime ? :D

Oh and the MEtan jammies are exactly as I imagined hers.  The are very close to what I had for 98 tan, tho hers had little flying boxes (via superman style!) printed on hers.  Tho personality wise with their child like personalities it fits them both (as where say 3.1 I drew with something frilly with ribbons to match her gothic style, or xp who would probobly sleep damn near naked, or maybe an over sixed t shirt)

On one last note.. it wouldnt load ealier today.. but now your picture is loading just fine -.-

Thank you kindly, Captain.  ^__^

Sorry, though PalmOS is much newer and better recognized today than Amiga, I still should have provided a little information regarding this particular operating system.  You can read the usual Wiki summary here if you'd like:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmos

But in short, PalmOS is the operating system for the famous line of Palm PDAs (otherwise known as "Palm Pilots", among other things), the first ever mass-produced commercial PDAs.  It was a completely proprietary operating system, neither Windows-based nor Unix-like, and revolutionary for its time given how cool the concept of ultra-portable computing was for many people.  The software was fairly reliable and the Palm fanbase is still strong, but despite that Palm did very poorly in keeping up with the times.  Eventually, Microsoft mass-marketed Pocket PCs (powered by several variants of Windows CE) and though they were inferior at first, they quickly surpassed Palm in functionality and aesthetics.  It didn't help that Palm took forever to release OS6 and even then the OS was still not modern-enough to compete head-to-head with Pocket PCs.  Now the development of PalmOS is being handled by a different company, and the new approach seems to be to redevelop it as a Linux-based platform.

Thank you for the your kind words, btw.  ^__^
You're almost right about the Pen tool -- around the time I entered my artistic hiatus 2 years ago, I did in fact experiment with Photoshop's Pen tool to produce my last illustrations.  The results were better than what I previously produced with raster techniques, but the lines were still not completely sharp as you would find in cel illustrations, nor was the tool very comfortable to use.  Adobe could make the tool better, but I guess they want to keep it a pain-in-the-rear to coax you into buying Illustrator.  ^___^'
End result was that I still took forever to produce my drawings and that helped contribute to my inevitable loss of motivation.

I'm flattered that you'd like me to offer some tips; even if you think the results are worth some praise, I should still disclaim that I'm still relatively new at all this.  Without producing more drawings and adding new OS-tans, I only risk sounding like a smart-ass.  -__-'

But if I can give you at least a handful of tips that can help you with cel-shading, the first I would offer is that Photoshop's Pen tool is not that good with vector graphics (which are invaluable for inking).  A dedicated program like Illustrator or CorelDraw are much better suited, although I personally recommend Inkscape:

http://www.inkscape.org/

Like SleepyD once said, "It's like the Pen Tool on steroids"; plus it's easy enough to use right off the bat, apart from being free (thank goodness for Linux!).  It helped me produce that angular style (that you described with the tapering) quckly and efficiently, among other things such as being able to modify the line width.  
For Amiga-tan,....

http://ostan.blackdiam.net/viewtopic.php?t=171

...I soft-shaded about 10% of her in Photoshop, mostly on her tote.  With PalmOS-tan, I cut that down to almost 3%, mainly to touch-up, and add complex raster graphics such as the Palm logo, the calculator, PDA buttons and the "ME" decals.  
This helped reduce time considerably (a big thing for me), but it's important to also keep in mind two very important things about vector graphics:

1)  It's more sculpting than actual drawing.  Inkscape has a freeform Pen tool that's very useful for real artists, but since I'm working on a time budget and have an unsteady hand, I don't mind simply placing coordinates and bending them to the desired shape with the program's version of the Pen tool.  In most circles, this would be considered "cheating".  ^___^'

2)  Vector graphics are good ONLY for cel-shading.  If you prefer something rich, elaborate and more manga-style, then raster (soft-shading) is still your best bet.  Again, my goal is to produce these things quickly and cheaply (and not let detail consume my life again), so my approach is to try and think like an Anime producer:

  a)  be systematic, and
  b)  don't be afraid to C-H-E-A-T!).  ^_________^'

Time is an issue with me and probably with you as well, but despite that I WOULD like to try a collaborated effort at some point.  I hear you'd like to put Windows 3.1-tan on a Winamp skin, for instance.  ^.^
Not only do I like Windows 3.1 myself (even though I'll be traitor and include a Windows 2.0-tan in my next pic... Ã,¬_Ã,¬), but I would PAY to see her don some llama ears for once!  ^w^

Sorry for the long post.  Better let you reply before I ramble on some more.  ^____^;
BTW, do you have those pictures you described in this forum?  I'd like to see them.  ^.^

Hehehe winampwinampwinamp... it really whoops the lamas ass!  I love that sound clip!  I wont be making any skins for at least the next month as I am still deployed and im using a gove comp I cant download editing programs onto.  I also would want to make a custom pic for it to... *contemplates pic ideas...*  

As for long posts, check out the one I just dropped in the Digi Com story thread, its a doozy!  Heck you wrote your post durring the time it took to write mine!  

Here Ill just post my showcase pic (at the moment its my manum opis, I have yet to put this much effort into one pic again and this is about a year old) Some of the older members around are gonna roll their eyes cus I allways whip out this preticular pic when someone asks about my art, but Im just so damn proud of it!

http://www.deviantart.com/view/15202780/

EGADS! My dinner is getting cold! Must type faster, or eat and type with one hand! I can type one handed! Ive had penty of practice while looking at 95 pics... er um I mean... doh!  

Back to the pic.  this was done (exept for the original sketch) compleatly 100% in photoshop.  I love photoshop.. ive never used other then it tho... so maybe im just doing it the hard way.  If the other programs are really as easy to use as you say, my productivity should increase 10 fold if thats true.

Actually, I feel stupid for offering help now... all that stuff you just said... I was like.... dur.    You sound far more knowlageable then me in my 5 years of doing it (tho I didnt spend much of that time shooting guns kicking in doors and yelling drop you weapons or I will shoot in arabic..)

Honestly all i know is photoshop, but then again... in photoshop I have electronic screen tone so I can do traditional manga style.. i dont know if those other programs can support that....

oh and I forgot to mention, your P chan avatar rocks by the way,  even tho ryoga is kinda a knubskull.   And you love 3.1 so like, your now one of my favorite posters!

fufu, VIVA 3.1-TAN!!!  ^V^

(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g2/C-Chan_2006/win311-tan.jpg)

(Just to be clear, she's really only my favorite Windows OS-tan.  My favorite of all canon OS-tan is the lovely Fedora-tan.  ^.^)
(Oh, and if I allowed non-canon,... hehe, then it'd be Amiga-tan.  ^____^;)
(But 3.1-tan still r0x!  ^_-)

Tell you what I'll do then.  I'll scout out the technical details for producing Winamp skins when I get the chance; I used to make them before, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem to bring myself up-to-date.  That way, when you're ready, you'll only need to supply the artwork and everything will take care of itself!   ^___^  

Hopefully....  ^___^'

And what's this I hear about a long post....?  '_'

*walks off to neighboring thread*

....

*returns*

SWEET HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP, YOU'RE RIGHT!!!  @o@
*bows and grovels*  I'M NOT WORTHY!!!!!!  THY POST IS JUST TOO MIGHTY!!!!  PLEASE FORGIVE MY PETULANCE!!  ;^0^;

Although in fairness, I used to write longer ones WaaaAAAAaaay back in my youth.  ^_-
But I've tried real-hard to kick that habit (more time for drawing, that way).  ^__^

(BTW, I'll check out the digital comic thread in greater detail later, but it might be too late for me to participate.  -_-')
(I'm already too deeply invested in a de facto storyline/setting for all the new OS-tans I have planned.  All 40+, I'm afraid...  ^__^')

Come to think about it, I HAVE seen your showcase pic before (and I somehow forgot you were a Deviant...  ^-^).  But you should be proud of it since it does show the awesome care and time investment that went into it.  So you're right, I didn't have to tell you about vector vs. raster; you already appreciate the rich and realistic detail that you can get out of meticulous Photoshop work.  And I especially love the detail on the mech suit; so often we admire the nauseating detail of Japanese mecha too much, that we forget we have equally-capable talent domestically!  ^___^

In fairness, I've been drawing (and, occasionally, 3D sculpting) for well over five years, though not necessarily in the Anime style (and all self-taught, so not formally an artist).  Regardless, you shouldn't feel ashamed to offer to collaborate.  There are many in which a joint effort can be carried out, besides the fact that artwork is malleable -- there's no doubt that we'd both can learn a lot through collaboration.  The only real obstacle is time.  ^^'

I COULD use a lot of help fleshing out more ideas for additional OS-tans.  ^^'
Not to be shameless, but There's currently an open thread that I desperately need feedback on before I begin desiging an OS/2-tan for my next pic:

http://ostan.blackdiam.net/viewtopic.php?t=177

Plus I have a design concept for Windows 2.0-tan, but no set personality.  I want to make sure that 3.1-sama remains the coolest and most capable of the prototype Windows sisters, so the last thing I want is to make 2.0 a clone of 3.1 (or, chronologically-speaking, the other way around... ^__^')

Windows 1.0-tan, on the other hand, is set but just not ready to be deployed in any of my pics until MUCH MUCH later.  
(Once I know it's safe to expand on the Windows line-up....)  ^^;

Manga Studio can probably make use of your screen toning, but I don't really like the program in my opinion.  It's really just like Photoshop Lite, only with paintbrush tools that better simulate real ones and traditional manga decals.  Unless the screen tones are simply layered bitmaps and not plug-ins, you probably won't be able to use them with Inkscape.  But on the OTHER hand, since Inkscape is open-source, you can technically CODE that feature in there (if you know what you're doing, which I certainly would not.... ^___^')

Oh, and glad you like my avatar, although I cheated on that too.  It took me only a minute to create for obvious reasons (Copy off Google=>Paste into photoshop=>Contrast=>Hue/Saturation=>Crop=>Save=>Upload to unsuspecting masses=>MWAHAHA!)  ^0^
One day I'll probably just draw my own pig, though.  -v-

But don't draw attention away from your avatar -- it rolls as well as rocks!!  ^v^
And then people ask me why I like 3.1-tan, when clearly the force is with HER and not her over-exposed sisters.  `v'

'Kay, better leave it at that.  ^__^
Thank you again Captain for the chat and for making Palm-tan feel welcomed.  
In appreciation, I'll see about sneaking in 3.1-tan in my next pic....  ^_-

Dnagnabbit I cant see it again!! What blasphemy is this?  I demand to see the goddess now!  -.- seems photobucked images are blocked durring working hours.  

Cool beans, let me know, and Ill continue to contemplate 3.1 images (tho there is at least 1 or 2 existing that might work well too...)

Hey, what can I say, when I get on a roll, I get butter on my pants... er I mean I write alot.  Its still open for people to joing but only if you got time -.-  I know its hard to pull away from prior obligations.

Thank you for your complements.  Mecha is my specialty so far (actually Digi Com is gonna be hard because im not used to drawing anime without mecha...)  so we are both new in that aspect.  I may not be a deviant for much longer.. they are getting.... gay... new submision policys and agreements have already driven alot of my friends away.

Have fun creating your new os tans but be carefull! Be sure to check throughly for preexisting ones before you create one or else you might offend the original creaters.  Last night I was contemplating a google tan, but I did a search and did indeed find a pre existing design.

Sorry, got cut off there due to work.  And now the picture works! and that Is so rock! if ONLY it were bigger! That would be one of my favorite of her, the only one better would be the one where dos is pulling her ribbons off... XD I must highly debate croping that one for avatar use...

Still like I said before, a collab would be cool sometime,   maybe two.. we both sketch something and the other one colors it thier style!  

Anyhow, now Im all pyked to draw again, Ill have to do some tonight!  tho not to much, cus I have to man the wall at midnight and I need sleep if Im gonna keep an ever vigilant eye out for the enemy.

Yo, Captain!  ^.^
Here, give me a sec....

*scratches off "Signing up with DeviantArt" from his To Do list*

There, that's a load off my shoulders.  ^___^;
Thank ye very mucho!  ^.^

Oh, and I know she's very powerful and stuff, but you needn't be too polite enough to call Palm-tan a goddess.  *snickers*  Just "genie" will do... *snickers*
HARHARHARHAR!!!!!  ^V^

*ROTFLOL*

Nah, just kidding.  Course, Me-tan's billboard-sized face does make her look like a goddess, but I KNOW you're referring to She of the Purple Hair.  The original image IS bigger (I got it off of Waka), but I just shrunk it down so as to not swamp the post.  Clearly, I should bow my head in shame for doing that.  -___-'

'Kay, I'll repost tomorrow with a bigger 3.1-tan.  ^___^'

As far as searching for preexisting designs, you got it captain!  Will do!  *snap salute*  ^__^\

No, but seriously I did try to do that with Amiga-tan.  I had poor DarkKnight search high-and-low for any preexisting Amiga-tan I might have missed; once the search came out fruitless, I had the go ahead to deploy my own.

Admittedly, I didn't do that for Palm-tan just because I seriously could not find one anywhere (and her OS is too new to be a simple nostalgia trip like with Amiga).

I like to adhere by the Golden Rule -- if I really want people to consider propagating my designs, I should be ready and willing to return the favor in kind.  Plus it's easier too -- ME-tan took only a quarter of the time I spent drawing Palm-tan, since her design already existed.  The other characters I'm planning for the rest of the Palm-tan picture above will be composed mainly of rare canon OS-tans, including THE MOST OBSCURE [barely] canon Windows OS-tan of them all!!!  [20 points if you can guess who she is!]  

It's great to contemplate the possibility that I might be the second artist ever to depict her -- if enough people can follow the lead, she might even deserve her own thumbnail on Wikipedia!  ^-^

That does it, now you've got me pyked as well!  I VOW to complete the Palm-tan picture by the end of this week!  I wanna let it be known that I support other people's original OS-tan's 100%!!  Let's draw (once we both have the chance, of course...  ^__^') and pave the way for a new OS-TAN REVIVAL!!!  A RENAISSANCE!!!!!  CRY HAVOC!!! AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF,....um,... Art.....  Ã,¬_Ã,¬'

But anyway, the sooner I get that pic done, the faster I can get to that winamp tinkering and my next picture, which will be my most ambitious one to date.  Features lots of old and new OS-tans, mainly PC-DOS-tan, but also introducing Apple II-tan, Win2.0-tan, Commodore-tan, FreeDOS-tan, OS/2-tan,....

[shameless plug]
http://ostan.blackdiam.net/viewtopic.php?t=177

...and a lot of parodies of Serial Experiments Lain and Chobits.

So I'll try my best to not let y'all down and I can see you're more than willing to do the same.  ^-^
Thanks again, Captain!  For helping keep the OS-tan movement alive and strong!!  (While everyone else has moved on to Cigarette-tans.....  Ã,¬_Ã,¬')

Take care!  Watch your back!

Hey Alfamille!  ^__^
Thank you, I would hope it's the best so far since she's barely just my second new OS-tan.  I figured stand-alone new OS-tans will have a tougher time gaining candidacy status, so I enlisted the help of ME-tan for that.  ^.^

Still not done, though -- hope you like the extra characters I vowed to the Captain I would add by the end of the week.  ^__-

BTW, have you ever used a Palm PDA before?  There are a few Easter eggs that Palm-users may or may not recognize.  'v'

Ciggerett tans O.o  what blasphemy is this?   I thought the aircraft tans were bad... I mean.. one of the things I love about the OS tans is that their design and personality is designed after the os, not just thier looks.  You can just slap a couple of plane parts on a girl and call her a tan... I mean what about that conveys that the A-10 thunderbolt 2 is a low flying tank killing heavy duty machine that can take massive damage and still fly?  Its just a cute girl.  Or a ciggerett tan,  does she smell bad and make your breath smell bad after you kiss her?  Does knowing her lower your lifespan and give you cancer?  I mean seriosly WTF?

QuoteCiggerett tans O.o what blasphemy is this? I thought the aircraft tans were bad... I mean.. one of the things I love about the OS tans is that their design and personality is designed after the os, not just thier looks. You can just slap a couple of plane parts on a girl and call her a tan... I mean what about that conveys that the A-10 thunderbolt 2 is a low flying tank killing heavy duty machine that can take massive damage and still fly? Its just a cute girl. Or a ciggerett tan, does she smell bad and make your breath smell bad after you kiss her? Does knowing her lower your lifespan and give you cancer? I mean seriosly WTF?

Nope, as far as I can tell, these -tans are simply offering the tobacco industry new ideas for market venues.  Cute cartoons for the kiddies, sweet knockers for the adolescents, enticing poses for the,... Well, you get the idea.  -___-'

You're right, most of these designs really are getting too formulaic.  I'm not one to talk since I want to mass-produce new OS-tans, but at least I'll TRY to make them faithful to their respective systems and give each one a backstory (the goal being to set up additional OS "factions" beyond just Windows and Apple, for use in possible future storylines).

Anyway, I'd send you a link to the cigarette-tan thread on Waka, but the last thing I want is to make you lose your dinner.  ^__^'
Oh, and it'd probably be a bad time to mention that there are Country-tans now too.  -___-;

Quote
Dont forget Apple system 6 and 7 LOL!

You know (and you'd be the perfect person to ask), I WAS wondering if there are supposed to be additional Apple OS-tans or not.  After all, each and every major Windows release is depicted (at least since 3.1), but only a generic Mac, OS9 and a colorful assortment of different OS X girls represent the Mac line.  Does this mean that OS 9-tan and Mac-tan are different characters, and if so does Mac-tan just roll up ALL releases of Macintosh since version 1.0 in 1984?  (I kinda did the same thing for Amiga -- I love her to bits, but I ain't making an Amiga 1.x, 2.x, 3.x,...)

Apple II-tan, though, will be different as she's hardcore vintage AND is (surprisingly-enough) not related at all to the Macintosh line.  In fact back in the 80's, many fans of the Apple II system were ready to crucify Apple for essentially abandoning them and placing all their bets on this revolutionary (but expensive) new system called "Macintosh".  

That's why I'm making her a disenfranchised OS-tan, and like Windows 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan, they all live with other vintage OS-tans instead of with their respective families.  I do have a name for their "faction", but it won't make sense unless you've watched Haibane Renmei.  '__'

Hahaha! From Japanese artists?
Like I said,... NOT the best time to mention it.  ^^;
(besides, you're using a gove computer right now)

In other news, I think I'll curtail that "vow" I made a little earlier since the remaining characters may require a little more time than I initially thought.  And for one thing, the cheap background I put up is okay for Me-tan and Palm-tan, but might clash with the other four OS-tans.  I'm thinking of toning it down or replacing it altogether, but I wonder if that's more work than is really necessary.  -_-'

BTW, Alfamille, I need your permission to put a Mac-tan in a less-than-flattering position.  Not really looking to bash Macs (in fact, all the other additional characters won't be brave-looking either), but also want to make sure you won't vow a vendetta against me if it comes down to it.  (I'll have enough of that from 2K-tan fans.) ^^;

Well, I had a feeling America would be twisted an evil, but its not that bad.  Heck sometimes I feel we might thing like that myself, however then someone thinging they are defending the arab nations blows himself and 66 inocent bystandars (hell not even on american) up.  Americas form of justice may not be perfect but most times it is the best and does have others peoples well being in mind.

I have to say, I think they did a decent job on her.  We are indeed the richest ass kickers around with a superhero mentality.  That and I think her design is cute (tho I thought there would be more red white and blue in it) Her face kinda reminds me of Evangeline in negima, another favorite character of mine so thats a plus too.  Her birthday being the forth was cool too.

the whole Tan pun tho was freaking rediculus XD Afghan-tan instead of afghanistan? OMG I was rolling in the isles on that one.  I guess i dont have an appriciation for most of the other characters since i dont know anything about their countries.  We just call its stans place for all the countries that end with stan.


heh heh heh, the blue screen XD  I may have to do a little mini comic thats a spoof on the ring with the OS tans.  Before you die, you see the screen!

how long did it take you to throw that togeather?  that just made my day XD  Altho, thats yet another 3.1 pic I dont have <.< >.> looks interesting.  Dosent seem much like water running off her...

and... OMG it all comes togeather! Dos and the evil cat from azamangadio are one and the same!!

As a note tho, I am a HUGE fan of J horror movies, and dispite thier poor special effects I do prefer the originals to the american ones.  Like ringu was better then the ring, and ringu 2 was definitly better then the ring 2. I dont know what the american film companys were thinking with that one.

and why do the aircraft tans have EARS?!?! THEY ARE ALL FIRED! ALL OF THEM!  Not even their delicios eye candy can make up for this!  
-.- Its official aircraft tans suck, and being a guy that LOVES anime, and grew up in an aircraft hanger, was a member of a helo born raid team and whos entire family is from the airforce, the fact that id dont like them really says something.

Yeah, the original picture is relatively new -- just peeled it off the Waka forum not too long ago.....

And yeah, I don't think that's water and cake is about as far as I'll guess on that one....  ^___^;

The collage only took me about 20 mins to make, so don't worry at all about the cost.  When I was younger, I used to churn out THOUSANDS of these for my old website and game projects -- if not for the fact that I sometimes drew in my own additions, it's a wonder how I ever learned to do original artwork.  -_-;
Too much damn time wasted on stuff that wasn't even my own,... oh well, at least I learned to do them fast.  ^___^;

I was gonna reveal DOSKitty as Kamineko later in my 3rd pic, but I just couldn't resist the temptation.  Now THAT'S what I call a Meme!  ^.^

Oh, and you preferred Ringu?
Whoops,... gee, um, now I have to feel foolish....  ^___^;

kamineko that was it, I couldnt remember -.-  they dont say it much in the anime.  Anyhow, for 20 minutes its pretty good XD  even if shes uh.. But even if its not I wouldnt mind telling XP that it is to watch her clean it off.

Sadako was pretty short herself.  They both seem like small almost child like girls in most of their pictures.  I can still see it.

Well, I dont know if you know much about it, but the ring/ringu is acutally the second part of a tirolgy of books.  the ring at least was close to the original and had many similaritys and some screen angles almost exactly the same, however number 2 they did their own story that lost all of the creepy elements of J horror butchered the story and general shamed themselves.  I mean seriosly, WTF?  she just wants a mom now?  I think not.  She has a grudge against every living person and wants them to all fucking die.  It dosent even begin to match her character for one.

anyhow enough ranting about that.  Since Im at work I currently cant see the picture (well not untill after 18 hundered, .coms are blocked till then. I can only get on ostans because it is a .net)

Anyhow... Ive got work to do, later all

Yo Captain.  

Sorry, in that case YOU ARE the definitve horror-movie guru.  ^__^;
I do know that Ringu was based off a really good book (trilogy, anyway).  But as far as the movies go, I only know that Ringu spun off a number of sequels, a prequel and a Korean knock-off, and they all sucked to various degress, but not as much as The Ring 2 (in all its killer CG reindeer glory).  Or was that called "The Ring Two",....?  Um, or "The Ring TwO".....?  -___-'

Glad it wasn't abbreviated to R20 (whoever thought that the "H20" or "AVP" labels could salvage two GAWD-awful movies should be dragged to the street and tarred,... not even worth the feathers....  `_' )

Actually, since I've seen a number of 3.1 pics elsewhere that are not yet in our gallery, I could try and upload them for you.  That way you can at least view them (what with the .NET thing and all....).  
Just wasn't sure if I could upload anything to that gallery; besides that, Pitkin won't be back till tomorrow no?  '_'

In other news, I finished the pre-sketch Poser work yesterday for the additional characters.  It only brings me at 10% completion, but preliminary inking & coloring (has to be both at the time) can go by really fast on Inkscape.  Weekend deadline is still a stretch, but not impossible either.  ^-^

Wow you must be on right now, cus I looked, there were no new messages... But I went to view the 3.1 pic since its now after 1800 here and low and behold another message magicly appears! Amazing!

Well that picture was worth the wait. its well drawn Ill give it that even if she is eating cake on her knees.  She should really be more carefull shes getting it everywhere.

Actually, knowing what that actually is, Id have to say I would have been pretty self consious if I was on the other end, what with doskitty staring and all...


Dont even get me started on AVP.  Im a huge aliens fan, have been since I was a little kid. The first comics I collected were the aliens comics and I remember way back when alien 3 came out that they were working on AVP.  It got canceled after Alien 3 failed and the plot was adapted to comic and book form.  I have to say I really enjoyed that version.  However when they made this new one they took the general bits of that story and then butcherd it and left a steamer on top.

The main character was a chick, she did end up working with a pred, and in the end she did help him defeat a queen and she burned a mark on her to name her a pred and when the other preds came she joined them and went out amungst the stars.  Exept for leaving with them the movie had all that.

But the original story took place in space, the humans werent compleatly unarmed and useless, there were more then 3 predators, there was no stupid piramids or anchient civilization on earth that got wiped out.  I mean what the fuck is that shit?  If they wanted to change the story, they should have come up with something compleatly new, or at least based it on the games (which are where the AVP name came from, because thats the quick name the gamers nick named it.  Just like half life opposing force came to be known as op for.)  That would have been cool, with the humans that were thrown in the mix being marines they would have mattered to the story. In that movie they played no role whatsoever exept being fodder, exept for her. However if they had been an elite team of marines like in aliens, with predators and aliens all around that could have been one hell of a cool movie...

well that is if they did that without the pgizing of it they did.  -.- they made avp a childerens movie to sell stuff.

If you havent seen Ringu 2, go watch it. the effects are poor still, but the japanes have a way of building suspence and atmosphere that make up for it.  the story is so much better too.

Upload them, upload them NOW!! *twitches like a crack addict*

Now that you described the original story, I DO seem to recall reading about that many years ago.  The story actually took place within the Aliens timeline, so naturally humans traveled on interstellar ships and marines used those heavy-duty pulse rifles.  The story would've not only been interesting, cause let's face it,....

Alien 3 - meh
Alien Resurrection - what were they smoking?  -_-'

...but it would've been a tried-and-true setting (AND already written FOR THEM!!).  And they wouldn't have had to explain why they brought weapons and VERY LIGHT CLOTHING in an Antarctica expedition.

The PG theory is the likely culprit here (and it backfired, 'cause you can still get your bucket of AVP toys for a dime); but it seems to be a trend over the years in these movies to keep characters helpless, useless and stupid (and with a healthy serving of ANGST!! >_<)  The recent version of Planet of the Apes (POTA?) for example (which did, having loved the 60's version, make - me - puke).  @___@;

Ah, you're right, there WERE really AVP PC games made for it too!  How could I have forgotten -- I remember reading about all the cool moves you could do as an Alien.  Never played either of them, but I did get to play the Jaguar version once,... for about 5 minutes.  Then I just had to contend with motion sickness for the rest of the day  ^___^;

'Kay, that's all I have to say about that.  -v-

Quotewow, this topic got quite long in a short time. hah

can't wait to see the short little comic thingy

I didn't even know that you could rate the pics. haha ^^;

And a random piece of info: Me is under Pacific Daylight Time, UTC -7.

yay, I am bored and posting useless info.

Hey, you got the Midori no Hibi reference, so you're free to post as much stuff as you want.  ^___^
Besides, thanks to you guys, the post's already clocked in 400+ visits in a few days, so hopefully the traffic can gain Palm-chan some helpful pre-exposure.  ^___^

UTC-7, eh?  That would place you right now at about 11:34!  Cool, you're much closer to the weekend!  ^-^
See, not useless at all.  ^.^

Speaking of short comics, I mentioned in another forum that I may one day draw a dramatic CE-tan vs Palm-tan battle scene (complete with VERY a unfortunate Palm-tan host, probably Homeo).  But until I'm done with my first 5 pilot pictures, this may be a while.  Makes me wish I had my own animation staff.... ^___^

Well, that's it for now!  Thanks again for keeping the topic alive and sizzling!  ^v^

AVP 2 kicked serios ass.  I mean seriosly.  The three types of characters were fairly well balanced dispite their drastic differnecent. I played marine mostly, cus well, Im a marine. thats the way I think.  Pointy clicky shooty. Kill them before they kill you and all that jaz. Sticking to the celing, stalking people and teating them apart all ing crazy fish eye vision (ala alien 3 style) just didnt do it for me, tho I met some other people on servers that were damn good at it.  Aliens die easy, but they kill easy too, and if you can think and act like one they are a force to be reconed with in that game.  The only race that seemed a little better then the others was the pred.  With invisability, the ability to heal himelf to some degree (without finding a powerup) and his super powered weapondry he was quite clearly the strongest. However, his strengths all had their limitations and sometimes downright flaws.  He had multiple vision modes making it easy to see the other races in the dark maps, but you could only see one type at a time. If you were in thermals ("maybe they dont show up on infered at all!") the aliens didnt even need to be sneaky to remain undetected, but if you were in electromagnetic mode to see them, even a marine with a pistol could get close enough to drop one.  All the weapons and abilitys drew from the same power supply so you really had to be smart to play him too.  Use to many plasma caster shots you wont be able to heal or your cloak may drop etc..

all in all, I think it deserves an honorable mention for FPS's but it wasnt ground breaking.  However in terms of movies to games it was one of the absolue best.  I think the only other (in other peoples opinions, but I dont agree) was 007 goldeneye

But your right about the characters in that type of movie. they are always retarded.  I could survive longer then just about anyone ever cast in a zombie movie without even trying.  Speaking of that, if any of you ever pick up the zombie survival guide, go ahead and read it but if zombies do break out across the world dont listent to a word it said, its full of lies.  It was obviosly written by someone with no survival/combat/stealt or any other sort of training. It written by someone very ignorant that makes alot of deadly asumptions thats bound to get him and his family eaten.

I really cant stand the retardation of people in horror movies.  I cant even follow their train of thought most of the time.  Personaly I think they are doing man kind a favor by being eaten.  

Speaking of horror movies and my love of the J Horror veriety the most, did anyone see Silent hill yet?  I loved the games because they in real time mastered the same aspects about j horror that makes it so chilling compaired to american splater horror.  A grossly mishappened madman with a chainsaw in texas in not frightening.  For gods sakes most of the time they have a god dammned gun, but they cant hit the target because the are too busy panicing!  dont run and shoot over your shoulder like the army! face them, get a good posture and put two in the chest one in the head like a marine.  even a beefy motherfucker like leatherface cant argue with a 357 magnum.  And while Im ranting, why is the hottest girl always a dirty rotten retarded bitch? And when will americans relize its not the amount of blood that makes it scary. Too much desenseitizes you too it.  And things are also not scarier by how much the lead actress is screaming.  Its just plain anoying.  And for that matter if you need something to jump out at the character to scare them your trying to hard. If done right, the monster need not jump out to scare the bejesus out of you, they can stroll slowly around the corner and the hair will be standing up on the back of your neck the entire time. For horror thrill seakers a split second of fear from a jumping monser vs the agonizingly long terror of a well built up monster, there is no contest.

wow, I had quite a rant going there, but I am so off topic it isnt even funny so... go palm-tan your the best!

Somehow I pictured you as a zombie aficionado; your horror guruhood was probably a dead giveway, no pun intended.  -v-

I'm gonna have loads of fun responding to this later, but before I do a quick question that I've always wanted to ask a zombie survival expert....

Since there's no such thing as unlimited ammo (even THEL's need a power source), would a spear or halberd thrust in the head from a high place work just as well (granted you can keep it sharpened and have LOTS of spares).  ^___^;

fuck spears.  Decapitate is the way to go.  Why try to peirce the zombies head and risk not causing enough damage to kill it and be bitten?  A sledge or an axe would be much better, or a long bladed weapon. Just be sure not to pick up a mall replica as that wont stand up to much.  But Id say yor best bet would be bunt trama as it has a tendancy to liquify your jelly like brain troughly.  

People have surived being stabbed in the head or even shot as the peircing fails to effect enough of the brain to kill.  Most are horribly disfigured and loose body functions (eeeewww, I ment motor control to limbs!) but I dont think zombies care about that, they already got it! But if we go with the status quo that destroying the brain kills zombies then blunt trama it is.

Easily found or acessable: hammers, tho sledges are best any will do. Baseball bats (aluminum is best as wood ones tend to shatter)  if your up high dropping large heavy objects may be good to, so if you have time to prepare, take the high ground like gettysberg and drop rocks on your flesh rotten foes.

One other thing you should concider is the speed of the zombies.  Old school move slow and can be outmonuverd by even a person with a limp as long as he has his head on his shoulders and doesnt panic.  In that case your spear idea might work (but come to think of it, why the hell would you have LOTs of spears?  and for that matter where did you get them?) However dawn of the dead redux zombies are quite differnt.  One of them running at you would be unerving enough that you have a very low probability to line up an effective attack and may just miss the head (earning yourself a zombie hicky as he will keep coming) Or possibly lodging it into another bodypart most likely the torso.  IN the later instance depending on the forward force of the running zombie (and squishyness) he may just end up on you after all as the spear just keeps going through him, getting your hands covered in zombie entrials (probobly the remains of a stupid girl from a differnt zombie movie) and yet another zombie hicky, OR your weapon will be stuck in him useless leaving you defenseless to other zombies (they always travel in packs) because his forward push will not alow you to pull the spear out (that will just bring him closer as he will follow the spear.)

So in summery, spears are for killing the horses of charging kinghts, not zombies.

Thank you, Sensei.  *sharp bow*  Ã,¯_Ã,¯

Certainly thinking only about the old-school zombies, but the faster new-school ones like in 28 days or Half-Life 2 will require a desperate rethink.  

I'll be back to the answer the rest; just need to get through a little seasonable t-storms and UNseasonable hail first.  Ugh,... -__-;

QuoteThe only race that seemed a little better then the others was the pred.

Naturally. plus neither the Governator nor Danny-Boy are around to help.... ^^;

QuoteWith invisability, the ability to heal himelf to some degree (without finding a powerup) and his super powered weapondry he was quite clearly the strongest.

Now the Preds are reminding me of the Protoss.  @__@
It's obvious they have the same weaknesses -- powerful yes, advanced, hell yes, but also too advanced for their own good, too expensive, often times too unwieldly.  

Quoteall in all, I think it deserves an honorable mention for FPS's but it wasnt ground breaking. However in terms of movies to games it was one of the absolue best. I think the only other (in other peoples opinions, but I dont agree) was 007 goldeneye

It's rare to see a movie game be just as good or better than the movie.  Even vice versa, I've never seen a movie do a game justice.  I still can't get over the number of brain cells sacrificed watching Street Fighter (1994)

QuoteBut your right about the characters in that type of movie. they are always retarded. I could survive longer then just about anyone ever cast in a zombie movie without even trying.

Like that dude in the beginning of Children of the Dead, which btw was perhaps the worst movie in history.  Even though I didn't pay a dime for it, I still felt compelled to sue.  X_X

QuoteSpeaking of that, if any of you ever pick up the zombie survival guide, go ahead and read it but if zombies do break out across the world dont listent to a word it said, its full of lies. It was obviosly written by someone with no survival/combat/stealt or any other sort of training. It written by someone very ignorant that makes alot of deadly asumptions thats bound to get him and his family eaten.

Would probably explain why Britain was wiped out in '28 days'.  "Oh zombies are slow and stuff.  By a house with an attic and pack it full of Spam, and you'll be dandy and stuff."  ^__^;

QuoteI really cant stand the retardation of people in horror movies. I cant even follow their train of thought most of the time. Personaly I think they are doing man kind a favor by being eaten.

Should've eaten everyone in the latest 'House on Haunted Hill' and '13 Ghosts'.  Who writes this crap and where do they dig up these actors from?  X__x

QuoteSpeaking of horror movies and my love of the J Horror veriety the most, did anyone see Silent hill yet?

Nope, and really couldn't since it didn't last long in the box office.
But it seems like it didn't ENTIRELy suck, at least.  ;__;

QuoteI loved the games because they in real time mastered the same aspects about j horror that makes it so chilling compaired to american splater horror.

Didn't play 1 or 4, have 3 but have can't find the time to play it, but I at least played 2 all the way through at least once.  Yes, it was surprisingly chilly despite the few shoot 'em up moments (and it helped that I played in the dead of night).  The ambience of the underground prison morgue is timeless!  X_X

QuoteA grossly mishappened madman with a chainsaw in texas in not frightening.

Funny, though.  ^__^

QuoteFor gods sakes most of the time they have a god dammned gun, but they cant hit the target because the are too busy panicing! dont run and shoot over your shoulder like the army! face them, get a good posture and put two in the chest one in the head like a marine. even a beefy motherfucker like leatherface cant argue with a 357 magnum.

The hilly-billies from that piece-of-crap Children of the Dead could've learned a thing or two from you.  If you're doing fine amassing in a group and killing zombies left and right with shotguns and from a good defensive position, then WHY do you charge at them afterwards with fists?!

Then again, considering who really wrote that script..... Ã,¬_Ã,¬'

QuoteAnd while Im ranting, why is the hottest girl always a dirty rotten retarded bitch?

With angst.  Don't forget the angst
The ANGST I SAY!!!!  >_<
Teenagers NEED MORE ANGST, don't you know?  >.<

QuoteAnd when will americans relize its not the amount of blood that makes it scary.

I thought it was ketchup.  '__'

QuoteToo much desenseitizes you too it.

So that's where we get all those armchair warriors.... Ã,¬__Ã,¬'

QuoteAnd things are also not scarier by how much the lead actress is screaming.

The scene from the Ring 2 where Rachel sees her little twerp watching the tape comes to mind.

NOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOooooOOOOOoooooOOOO-aaaaah..... >o<

QuoteIts just plain anoying. And for that matter if you need something to jump out at the character to scare them your trying to hard. If done right, the monster need not jump out to scare the bejesus out of you, they can stroll slowly around the corner and the hair will be standing up on the back of your neck the entire time.

Hence, Silent Hill's success.  ^__^

QuoteFor horror thrill seakers a split second of fear from a jumping monser vs the agonizingly long terror of a well built up monster, there is no contest.

I thought 'Mouth of Madness' did both split second fear and agonizingly long terror very well.  But then, I'll leave that to the guru to decide.  ^__^

Quotefuck spears.

'Kay.  -__-'

QuoteDecapitate is the way to go. Why try to peirce the zombies head and risk not causing enough damage to kill it and be bitten?

Well, I did also mention halberds, but 'kay....
(Besides, spears you can kinda make on your own, but where the heck can anyone get a halberd in this day and age?  @__@'

QuoteA sledge or an axe would be much better, or a long bladed weapon.

Halberd.  Or better yet (if you can find one), a pole-ax.  ^^

QuoteJust be sure not to pick up a mall replica as that wont stand up to much.

Like putting the life of your server under the care of a cheap surge protector.  @__@

QuoteBut Id say yor best bet would be bunt trama as it has a tendancy to liquify your jelly like brain troughly.

Polynesian clubs would be fantastic, if not for the short range.

Non-status quo would be like Half-Life zombies -- kill the human host, deal with the nasty head-humpers afterwards.  The long-legged ones in the sequel are DAMN creepy (and annoying).  >_<

QuoteEasily found or acessable: hammers, tho sledges are best any will do.

Short range,....  Ã,¬___Ã,¬'

Still short range,....  Ã,¬___Ã,¬'

Quoteif your up high dropping large heavy objects may be good to, so if you have time to prepare, take the high ground like gettysberg and drop rocks on your flesh rotten foes.

Harharhar!  ^V^
Talk about limited ammo -- in that case, they might as well be boxes of shotgun shells.  ^___^;
Then again, it reminds me of a really creative alternative used in Half-Life 2: just use a CAR to crush the bastards!  Funny as hell, though how a single reverand built that trap in a zombie-infested town needs some explaining.... ^.^

Well, yeah, with the exception of Shawn of the Dead, it's a trend now in these new-fangled movies to have fast zombies.  EVERYONE's in a hurry these days,... EVEN the zombies.....  

Ah, how I yearn for the good ol' days, when life was good, arcade games were 25 cents and snails could outrun zombies.  Aaaaah, those were the days........  ^___^

QuoteSo in summery, spears are for killing the horses of charging kinghts, not zombies.

Like hell I would stand in front of a charging Kataphraktoi with a mere six-foot long stick!!  \ _ /
In that case, I would use a pike.  ^___^

As I am to lazy to deal with quoting single sentances like that Ill just lump it all togeather and you all can figure out what I was responding to.

First off, not sensei.  Whats the japanese word for knowitall?

Hoo-rah? HOO-RAH?  What are you trying to do to my beloved corps?  Hoo-Ahh Is the army, OOH-RAH is the marines.  You basterdized both of them and combined them!

Actually Im quite the doom fan.  I must now start a small rant about doom.  You asked for it.

Doom, is the shit.  The original is a classic.  Wolfenstine was the birth of the FPS, but Doom made it popular. If not for doom it would never have gone anywhere.  I still play it even today.  GOt 20 minutes to blow at work, DooM time! Kick the monsters up, grab a joystick and kick it up to ultra violence and begin the run and gun.  Exept for the ocassional brain numbing puzzel that keeps you from the action for 3 hours while oyu run around the same segment of level the constant zombie and demon death action is awsome.  Truely mindless killing for the bored.  It remained relitivly unchanged throughout the years and slowly became a  thing of legends.  There were several doom games after that point, but nothing special. I even got doom 64, which i enjoyed but it was nothing but a polished version of doom. Tho I have to say I did really like the Imps in that version.  Then the gods blessed us again as doom 3 was announced.  So great the legend of doom had become the programers of ID threatened to quite if the executives didnt alow them to remake doom.  They caved in like a womans face at 40 and then the legend was reborn.  However its old run and gun was gone replaced with a level of fear and terror one never expected thinking back to the cute little pixelated pink demons.  No, now there were things in the dark that would make a grown man piss himself.  Altho I argue any marine that could keep up the level of kick as that marine did would have the smarts to duct tape the flashlight to the side of his gun, the choice between the comforting light, or the comforting firepower was a nice aspect to the game.  Now every little encounter had yo on the edge of your seat and even veteren players were prone to panic.  It was good, it was real good. THen they announced the movie and the fans rejoiced! But alas.. it was not the heavens that blessed us, but it was hell that dammned us!  Greed for more doomy goodness let out eyes turn to the capitilistic movie industry and we let them have out idol and they peversed it.  they fucked her in the ass without even a curtesy spit.  First, they cast the Rock. THE ROCK FOR GODS SAKE!  He even gave someone the eye!!!  THen they did an entire portion of the movie in FPS style to "pay homage." Your all fired. Oh, and I forgot, they took out hell!!! WTF?! WHat is doom about?  WHen you get down too it?  It didnt have much plot so it was kinda hard to miss.  Mars, UAC, Anchient teleporters, Hell, One marine with alot of ammo.  you cut hell form the equasion and its no longer doom! Its a travesty!

Actually aliens did have strength in numbers, but they also had stealth and manuverability. In multiplayer you lost number and had to rely on the later.  In that case the game shifted to ALIEN, and not ALIENS.  One creature in the darkness picking of the soft fleshys one at a time pulling them into the darkness.

GET TO THE CHOPPA! ahem.  

I wasnt a huge fan of Starcraft, but I enjoyed the marines and zerg somewhat. Hated the protoss.  At least the preds didnt looks retarded.

I dont think ive seen childern of the dead, but it cant possibly be worse then HOUSE OF THE DEAD.  OMG.  They actually slipped clips of the game into the movie. yet another braincell killer.

That preticular producer/director (im not sure which) did ghost ship to right?  They all sucked.  Not in the least bit scary, not even a little. Not even jump scarry.  They relied compleatly on the screaming I mentioned erlier and imagry which lacked luster at best.  Oh and gore, but thier gore was fake and unconvincing.

Actually, I saw it today.  Tho, not the way I wished, but I couldnt resist anylonger.  I have sinned, I watched a hadji DVD that was filmed out of the thearter.  However, my sacralige not wistanding, it is by far the best game to movie translation I have ever seen.  I am a huge silent hill fan so I tend to be very preticular and hard to please, yet I cant find anything about it I didnt like o.O Id did the game justice, and not only that, they managed to take every memerable moment of the games and cram it into one movie and yet.. It all fit. None of it felt out of place or peicemealed togeather.   The music was the original soundtrack of the games. Not even remixed.  With the amount of music they had to pick from to, they didnt have to reuse a single peice the entire film (or at least I didnt catch any reuse) and the peice they picked always fit the scean.  From the creepy piano music of SH2 to the woefull singing from SH 3.  
The movie is mostly based on the first game with a few details changed, like the lead being changed to a hot girl rather then a guy looking for her daughter.  A few things were taken from the other games to suplement it and pay homage (tho you would have to know the games well to catch them, because unlike doom, it was all background fluff.  street names, locations, camera angles.)  All exept one thing...

You said you played SH2 in its entierty, and you seemed to understand what I ment by the fear of a monster stroling slowly around the corner.  The one major aspect they took from a game other then the 1st:

Pyramid head.

I am still twitching from my geekgasum.  Anyone who as played SH2 knew he was coming before he was there.. because there was that tell tail screaching of metal as he dragged the big knife behind him.  They did him total justice, down to the fact they never killed him.  (unlike his equaly natorius and cool Resident evil counterpart nemisis, who wend down like a bitch at the end of the movie)  Hell! He ripped a chicks skin off, HER SKIN OFF!  He sliced her down the center and then pulled it off like a table cloth.  

On a side note that applys to some of the reply, the gore in this movie was perfect (unlike most american made splater fests)  It wasnt too distinct, just like the games it was just lumps of red and pink flesh splaterd loosly around with blood.  And it was only in sceans where it asisted the movies mood.  No every scean needed blood and gore, and they applied it to the ones needed.  

On a random note on SH2, one of the things I forgot to mention that I so love about those games is the realization.  What I mean by that, is each game always has one part where everything comes togeather and the truth is so obviose, yet so horrible your left speachless.  For example, SH2, when he is in the hotel and he watches the video... and he remembers the truth.  Everyone you met up to that point was a bad person. they killed and did evil deeds. they were all guilty of something.  You wondered in the back of your head the entire game about it, because on the surface James seemed like a dedicated husband that desperatly needed to see his dead wife again and would go through hell to see her... but then the realization. He needed to see her, because he killed her.  She was sick for so long that he didnt want her to suffer, but also because the stress of caring for a dying woman for so long, he wanted to be rid of her.  He needed silent hill to punish him for his guilt, thats why he was there.  He couldnt live with himself and he was there to die. Pyramid head represents guilt, it seeks out the guilty and kills them.  

that is so wonderfuly horrible. I never saw it coming and I think fondly back on it as one of the most memorable video game moments ever.

Mounth of madness huh? havent seen it but you seem to think its worth watching so Ill check it out.

Again, where did you get a polearm or a halberd?  Your local black smith?  Part of planning for zombies is making plans that are viable. If you dont have a raygun, dont know where you can find a raygun, dont plan on using a ray gun vs the zombies that infest your town.  All of my saggestions i try to base on what you can easily get ahold of.  Also, prior planing is good to. I have my zombie kit in the tunk of my car.  Im not really a freak that is preparing for zombies, but I figure if I have everything I need to take care of zombies I can handle everything. ZOmbie kit is just a nickname for it.   Inside I have my Mossberg m590 shotgun, about 200 buckshot rounds and 200 slugs.  A 357 Colt python with about 100 rounds.  2 cases of MRES, a paramedics medical kit with everything from plasma to turnakits, Change of clothes (well extra fatuiges and boots as they take more abuse then most civilian clothing) blanket, chemical heaters, 3 forms of fire (lighter, waterproof matches and flint and tinder) Heavy duty flashlights, flares, a hoolagan tool (its a cros between an axe/battering ram/crowbar used for breaching or in my planned use, getting people out of horribly twisted vehicals) and big ass bayonet/fighting knife.  Oh and the normal road gear like aircompresser runflat spare and tool kit. Be prepared.

only a geek would compair his life to his server.  Lets revel in out geekdom brother!

bah, afraid of a little short range?  We already coverd that the short range was for the lack of amunition or after it runs out.  Its also asuming you cant get away because in truth the best option for at least slow moving zombies is movement. no fighting, not risk of getting bitten. well at least if your smart about your movement. Running screaming and not looking where your going has gotten many a blond bimbo or back stabbing coward. But if your really worried about it get a long handled sledge, but youll have to be beefy to weild that.  THat goes for about any long range blunt object. they weigh alot.

While Im on that note, you complain about the short range, but Im talking about defending yourself against the wave of zombies that has you trapped stopping your escape.  Short weapons are great for riot control, and this is an extream version of that. On that note, if you can get yourself a riot sheild or any sheild for that matter or a suit of padded body armor like riot cops use your good. helps prevent bites, you might be able to get a running start and plow through them, and youll be able to defend against multiple agressors while weilding the shorter blunt weapons.

Never underestimate prepared high ground.  And droping objects is a legitimate stadegy that has been used from fortified positions since the middle ages.  Rocks are common and many and from a height even small ones will do the damage you need.  Seems more plausable then haveing a poleaxe...

Well spearmen were used like that back in the day, but you wernt expected to survive. sucks being on the front line.

It seems that your a halflife 2 fan. Good game I must say, tho my major beef with it was the lack of Shepard.  Every other major character made an appearance but the lone marine that disobeyed his orders and fought to save the scientists of black mesa didnt even get mentioned.  WTF is that shit? Hell, he was more bad ass then freeman.  He was the one that closed the gate to earth on earths end while freeman was killing the zen leader.  Plus, he had a gas mask! that just makes you cool be default. Like Hunk in resident evil.  

I did like the ravenhelm part, but It seemed so out of place to the rest of the game, it was like getting stuck in an intergalactic war movie in a post apocolyptic world, and temporarily stepping out of it to step into a cheesy horror flick.  That and the endless head crab zombies was pissing me off.  It would be so bad if it was just the normal ones, but the purple ones and the ones that climed the highground prevented you from using standard low amuntion defensive techniques.

Haha!  Nah, just kidding!  ^-^

Captain, you ARE the man!  ^__^;
In the midst of drawing (inking and color for Additional Character #1 DONE!!), so I'll probably won't get a worthy response in (is such a thing possible...?!  *cries*  I'm not worthy...! ;^0^;) until later today or tomorrow.  But you sure got me going on a long nostalgia trip back there.........  

Aaaah,... Doom......  ^____^

BTW, don't forget to finish with "Palm-tan Rules" or something like that.  ^^

C-Chan added the following  15 hours 18 minutes after last message :

Quick art update!  ^o^
Preliminary inking and coloring for all characters has been complete.  Should be at 70% completion, pending shading, highlights, adjustments and touch-ups.  I might be able to keep my weekend deadline after all, but given other priorities, I wouldn't quite advise it.  ^___^;

So I'll just post a preview pic featuring the other characters; naturally, it still needs all of the above mentioned, but I think it's coming along fine as it is now.....

<<<NOTE: PICTURE MOVED TO Annex (http://ostan.blackdiam.net/viewtopic.php?t=231)>>>

Just in case my drawing sucks, here are the names of the characters I tried to depict, in order from left to right:

Windows 2000-tan (facefaulting), Mac-tan (generic Mac, not OS9), Windows 95 OSR 2.5 (yes, she IS in fact a character! check Wiki), and MS-DOS.

*brain explodes*  Oh no, you got some on palm tan!

I am the man! Just not the palm-tan.

If your going on a nostalgia trip be sure to take palm-tan, shes portable you know.

Did they have doom for palm-tan?

BTW, Palm-Tan rules!

If inking and color are done, it should be like, a short job to finish o.O maybe its just cus I use photoshop, but Ink is 80 percent of the workload.  Maybe you should get plam-tan to help you.

of course OSR 2.5 is a real character.  She showed up in a bunch of a preticular line of OS Tan comics.  Perhaps palm-tan will get a place on wiki after she shows up in a couple of comics.

Well I figure Im getting annoying now, I just wanted to make up for the lack of Palm-tan In my post to keep us on topic, not that horror movies, zombie survival,  and angst dont directly relate to plam tan.

True, I can get the pic down in one final push, but truth is I'm also burnt.  Need at least a few hours to recoup, so I'll sit back, relax, and hack away at your uber-rant....  ^___^

QuoteAs I am to lazy to deal with quoting single sentances like that Ill just lump it all togeather and you all can figure out what I was responding to.

That's why Anime works.  My responses were all cheap one-liners, but it was the DETAIL that made it look cool and long!  Fufufu... ^.^

QuoteFirst off, not sensei. Whats the japanese word for knowitall?

傲然  ^__^'

QuoteHoo-rah? HOO-RAH? What are you trying to do to my beloved corps? Hoo-Ahh Is the army, OOH-RAH is the marines. You basterdized both of them and combined them!

I'm going to hell for that, aren't I?  ;__;

QuoteActually Im quite the doom fan. I must now start a small rant about doom. You asked for it.

Doom, is the shit. The original is a classic. Wolfenstine was the birth of the FPS, but Doom made it popular. If not for doom it would never have gone anywhere. I still play it even today. GOt 20 minutes to blow at work, DooM time! Kick the monsters up, grab a joystick and kick it up to ultra violence and begin the run and gun. Exept for the ocassional brain numbing puzzel that keeps you from the action for 3 hours while oyu run around the same segment of level the constant zombie and demon death action is awsome. Truely mindless killing for the bored. It remained relitivly unchanged throughout the years and slowly became a thing of legends. There were several doom games after that point, but nothing special. I even got doom 64, which i enjoyed but it was nothing but a polished version of doom. Tho I have to say I did really like the Imps in that version. Then the gods blessed us again as doom 3 was announced. So great the legend of doom had become the programers of ID threatened to quite if the executives didnt alow them to remake doom. They caved in like a womans face at 40 and then the legend was reborn. However its old run and gun was gone replaced with a level of fear and terror one never expected thinking back to the cute little pixelated pink demons. No, now there were things in the dark that would make a grown man piss himself. Altho I argue any marine that could keep up the level of kick as that marine did would have the smarts to duct tape the flashlight to the side of his gun, the choice between the comforting light, or the comforting firepower was a nice aspect to the game. Now every little encounter had yo on the edge of your seat and even veteren players were prone to panic. It was good, it was real good. THen they announced the movie and the fans rejoiced! But alas.. it was not the heavens that blessed us, but it was hell that dammned us! Greed for more doomy goodness let out eyes turn to the capitilistic movie industry and we let them have out idol and they peversed it. they fucked her in the ass without even a curtesy spit. First, they cast the Rock. THE ROCK FOR GODS SAKE! He even gave someone the eye!!! THen they did an entire portion of the movie in FPS style to "pay homage." Your all fired. Oh, and I forgot, they took out hell!!! WTF?! WHat is doom about? WHen you get down too it? It didnt have much plot so it was kinda hard to miss. Mars, UAC, Anchient teleporters, Hell, One marine with alot of ammo. you cut hell form the equasion and its no longer doom! Its a travesty!

One day I'll understand why that hidden Hollywood rule was written that all game-to-movie conversions MUST suck.
But to hell with them; at least you got me curious about Doom 3.  Maybe when I have the hardware to play it and the time to burn (HARHARHARHARHARHAR!!!! ;^0^; ), I'll try it out.

The original is timeless, and in fact holds a special place with me since it was the VERY FIRST GAME I ever edited!  (Plus it was my very first PC game, on my very first computer -- running 3.1-tan, btw -- when prior to that I only had game consoles and an Atari 8-bit computer.)

Don't get me wrong, the level design was very good (Doom's Spawning grounds and DOOm 2's Downtown district especially), but the graphics didn't lend themselves to too much realism (biggest draw-back was that the level designs were actually FLAT -- not plane-flat like WOlfenstein, but I'm sure you'll recall there was never really a TRUE 2-story buidling, with one level directly on top of another).  So I took it upon myself to design new levels to my liking, including a redesigned Level 1 that actually tried to LOOK like the spaceport shown on the map (so of course it was very big).  Initially redesigned Doom 2's Entryway to look like another spaceport-like thing (on a building, this time though -- think Coruscent), but eventually dropped production of it after I actually FINISHED playing Doom (and Final Doom) and knew how our fellow marine finally got back on earth.  Instead I opted to design a transitory mission (with that hell-building still in view) where you find an abandoned home (very proud of the detail at the time!  ^_-) and realize that the hell-spawn are out loose on earth (flip the TV on and you see a scrawling marquee with the burning city background).  My hope was to redesign the entire game, but thankfully I proved not to be THAT ambitious.  Good thing too, since more realistic and editor-friendly games came out since then (Half-Life, being the most realistic, is the best in my opinion, although Far Cry isn't that far behind).  

Now that you made me remember my old Doom foray, I wonder if I still have those .WAD files lying around somewhere.....  -__-'
Ah, the memories....

QuoteActually aliens did have strength in numbers, but they also had stealth and manuverability. In multiplayer you lost number and had to rely on the later. In that case the game shifted to ALIEN, and not ALIENS. One creature in the darkness picking of the soft fleshys one at a time pulling them into the darkness.

Meh.  Speed and stealth it is, I suppose....  ;__;
Like ordering your army of 100 zerglings to burrow under the ground.....  -__-'

QuoteGET TO THE CHOPPA! ahem.

'Kay, need help on this one.  ^-^

QuoteI wasnt a huge fan of Starcraft, but I enjoyed the marines and zerg somewhat. Hated the protoss. At least the preds didnt looks retarded.

Touche.  Besides that, the Protoss were arrogant SOBs.

QuoteI dont think ive seen childern of the dead, but it cant possibly be worse then HOUSE OF THE DEAD. OMG. They actually slipped clips of the game into the movie. yet another braincell killer.

Ohohohoho!  Talk about opening the gates of hell!  ^-^
'Kay, I'll consult with regional experts regarding the comparative suckage level of House of the Dead.  Meanwhile, should you ever find Children of the Dead in some trash heap (I wouldn't dare make you buy it), give it two viewings and call me in the morning.  ^__^

QuoteThat preticular producer/director (im not sure which) did ghost ship to right? They all sucked. Not in the least bit scary, not even a little. Not even jump scarry. They relied compleatly on the screaming I mentioned erlier and imagry which lacked luster at best. Oh and gore, but thier gore was fake and unconvincing.

New age horror movies for Generation Z.  No wonder we seek out J-Horror.  ;__;

QuoteActually, I saw it today. Tho, not the way I wished, but I couldnt resist anylonger. I have sinned, I watched a hadji DVD that was filmed out of the thearter. However, my sacralige not wistanding, it is by far the best game to movie translation I have ever seen. I am a huge silent hill fan so I tend to be very preticular and hard to please, yet I cant find anything about it I didnt like o.O Id did the game justice, and not only that, they managed to take every memerable moment of the games and cram it into one movie and yet.. It all fit. None of it felt out of place or peicemealed togeather. The music was the original soundtrack of the games. Not even remixed. With the amount of music they had to pick from to, they didnt have to reuse a single peice the entire film (or at least I didnt catch any reuse) and the peice they picked always fit the scean. From the creepy piano music of SH2 to the woefull singing from SH 3.
The movie is mostly based on the first game with a few details changed, like the lead being changed to a hot girl rather then a guy looking for her daughter. A few things were taken from the other games to suplement it and pay homage (tho you would have to know the games well to catch them, because unlike doom, it was all background fluff. street names, locations, camera angles.) All exept one thing...

You said you played SH2 in its entierty, and you seemed to understand what I ment by the fear of a monster stroling slowly around the corner. The one major aspect they took from a game other then the 1st:

Pyramid head.

I am still twitching from my geekgasum. Anyone who as played SH2 knew he was coming before he was there.. because there was that tell tail screaching of metal as he dragged the big knife behind him. They did him total justice, down to the fact they never killed him. (unlike his equaly natorius and cool Resident evil counterpart nemisis, who wend down like a bitch at the end of the movie) Hell! He ripped a chicks skin off, HER SKIN OFF! He sliced her down the center and then pulled it off like a table cloth.

On a side note that applys to some of the reply, the gore in this movie was perfect (unlike most american made splater fests) It wasnt too distinct, just like the games it was just lumps of red and pink flesh splaterd loosly around with blood. And it was only in sceans where it asisted the movies mood. No every scean needed blood and gore, and they applied it to the ones needed.

On a random note on SH2, one of the things I forgot to mention that I so love about those games is the realization. What I mean by that, is each game always has one part where everything comes togeather and the truth is so obviose, yet so horrible your left speachless. For example, SH2, when he is in the hotel and he watches the video... and he remembers the truth. Everyone you met up to that point was a bad person. they killed and did evil deeds. they were all guilty of something. You wondered in the back of your head the entire game about it, because on the surface James seemed like a dedicated husband that desperatly needed to see his dead wife again and would go through hell to see her... but then the realization. He needed to see her, because he killed her. She was sick for so long that he didnt want her to suffer, but also because the stress of caring for a dying woman for so long, he wanted to be rid of her. He needed silent hill to punish him for his guilt, thats why he was there. He couldnt live with himself and he was there to die. Pyramid head represents guilt, it seeks out the guilty and kills them.

that is so wonderfuly horrible. I never saw it coming and I think fondly back on it as one of the most memorable video game moments ever.

Dude, that was deep.  ^__^
I now see Pyramid Head in a different light (although if I recall, at the end there were 2 of them, spear-armed).
I think for that reason I also liked "The Others".  Even though it barely passes for a real horror movie, I also didn't see the end coming and at that moment it switched to a very different and more convincing kind of horror -- not the hokey horror of ghosts, but a real horror of infanticide and the possibility that an afterlife is real and nowhere near like anyone's wishful thinking.

Back to SH, I heard from the grapevine that the Silent Hill movie was apparently "too confusing" for the average moviegoer, and hence the reason it bombed.  Granted it wasn't a good movie regardless, that still makes me want to stick my head in the ground.  X_x

QuoteMounth of madness huh? havent seen it but you seem to think its worth watching so Ill check it out.

You might find it interesting since it's kind of a Silent Hill "prototype" (1995), right down to the slow psychology-driven build-up and convincing monsters.  It's worth a look at least.

BTW, sorry, it's actually called "In the Mouth of Madness".  ^__^;

QuoteAgain, where did you get a polearm or a halberd? Your local black smith?

Um, yeah!  His name's Joe!  ^.^

QuotePart of planning for zombies is making plans that are viable. If you dont have a raygun, dont know where you can find a raygun, dont plan on using a ray gun vs the zombies that infest your town. All of my saggestions i try to base on what you can easily get ahold of. Also, prior planing is good to. I have my zombie kit in the tunk of my car. Im not really a freak that is preparing for zombies, but I figure if I have everything I need to take care of zombies I can handle everything. ZOmbie kit is just a nickname for it. Inside I have my Mossberg m590 shotgun, about 200 buckshot rounds and 200 slugs. A 357 Colt python with about 100 rounds. 2 cases of MRES, a paramedics medical kit with everything from plasma to turnakits, Change of clothes (well extra fatuiges and boots as they take more abuse then most civilian clothing) blanket, chemical heaters, 3 forms of fire (lighter, waterproof matches and flint and tinder) Heavy duty flashlights, flares, a hoolagan tool (its a cros between an axe/battering ram/crowbar used for breaching or in my planned use, getting people out of horribly twisted vehicals) and big ass bayonet/fighting knife. Oh and the normal road gear like aircompresser runflat spare and tool kit. Be prepared.

Now that's a good philosophy to have, certainly in the midst of no foreseeable zombie invasion (but prospective real ones).  
Now that I think back about it, though, that's probably the reason why the guy from Army of Darkness just happend to have a Physics book in his trunk!  ^__-

Oh, and you just reminded me....!  Of course!  A bayonet at the end of a rifle!  Long-enough reach and I'd always have the option to shoot at any time.  (provided its loaded)

Quoteonly a geek would compair his life to his server. Lets revel in out geekdom brother!

Well, I'm sure talking about zombies, hell-spawn and screwed-up towns on hills made you forget, but we kinda ARE in an OS-tan forum.  When in Rome, eh?  'v'

Eh?  *v*

No?  '_'

Okay, fine then,....  ^__^

*steps out to local shady 99cents store*
*returns with cheap-ass surge protector*
*hooks up cheap-ass surge protector to 3.1-tan's machine*

There you go, sweetie.  ^.^
Your biggest fan says its okay.  ^___^

Quotebah, afraid of a little short range? We already coverd that the short range was for the lack of amunition or after it runs out. Its also asuming you cant get away because in truth the best option for at least slow moving zombies is movement. no fighting, not risk of getting bitten. well at least if your smart about your movement. Running screaming and not looking where your going has gotten many a blond bimbo or back stabbing coward. But if your really worried about it get a long handled sledge, but youll have to be beefy to weild that. THat goes for about any long range blunt object. they weigh alot.

In that case, no sweat.  I already have a HUGE sledge hammer that I use for my land projects.  Did wonders on a left-over tree stump.

And yes, need I remind you that I AM a pig.  Short range is kinda an issue with me.....  Ã,¬_Ã,¬'

QuoteWhile Im on that note, you complain about the short range, but Im talking about defending yourself against the wave of zombies that has you trapped stopping your escape. Short weapons are great for riot control, and this is an extream version of that. On that note, if you can get yourself a riot sheild or any sheild for that matter or a suit of padded body armor like riot cops use your good. helps prevent bites, you might be able to get a running start and plow through them, and youll be able to defend against multiple agressors while weilding the shorter blunt weapons.

Now THAT'S a good idea I haven't thought about.  Certainly easier to get then that cool knight armor that the father dude used in '28 Days.  ^__^

Course, that always begs the eternal question about the Living Dead series:  how in the hell did they manage to take over the world, in the face of armies, law endorcement and partisans who know what they're doing?!  Perhaps that's why they're making the Zombs fast these days, to at least cover all those implausibles.

QuoteNever underestimate prepared high ground. And droping objects is a legitimate stadegy that has been used from fortified positions since the middle ages. Rocks are common and many and from a height even small ones will do the damage you need. Seems more plausable then haveing a poleaxe...

Not questioning the high ground part at all, just the rock part.....  ^__^;
Even if I were Atlas, the most I could haul up (and fit) are maybe about a few dozen -- enough to drop them on about a few dozen zombies.  Smaller ones are better, but then a position high enough would be in short supply.

On the other hand, just like with the Half Life 2 car, if I happened to TIE the huge rock to something, crush the snot out of a zombie and then reel it back in for another kill, then maybe I can get some real good use out of it.

Hmmm......  -v-

QuoteWell spearmen were used like that back in the day, but you wernt expected to survive. sucks being on the front line.

Agreed.... -_-'

QuoteIt seems that your a halflife 2 fan. Good game I must say, tho my major beef with it was the lack of Shepard.

Plus, he had a gas mask! that just makes you cool be default. Like Hunk in resident evil.

Yeah, I agree.  I mean you can tell I'm one who likes to represent ALL characters (including obscure ones like 95 OSR 2.5-tan), so I thought it was a travesty that there was not even a single mention of Shephard (even though you got to see Barney and friends).  Then again, they're still making expansion packs for the game, so who knows...?  Maybe the G-man will whip him out against Gordon in one of the later ones!

Not that I'll get to see it, though.  I may like Half Life 2, but I H-A-T-E Steam.  Enough to make me not want to support their products ever again (and I have the lack of time to enforce that!).  \ _ /

QuoteI did like the ravenhelm part, but It seemed so out of place to the rest of the game, it was like getting stuck in an intergalactic war movie in a post apocolyptic world, and temporarily stepping out of it to step into a cheesy horror flick.

Lil' bastards kept you on your toes, didn't they?!  `v'
Well, it's like you said before: don't assume all zombie-like things are gonna be slow just because that's the general assumption.  ^___^
You have to admit that a lot of interesting traps were showcased.  ^.^

Quote*brain explodes* Oh no, you got some on palm tan!

That's okay.  She gets a lot of that.  ^^'

QuoteI am the man! Just not the palm-tan.

Oh hoho....  We can arrange that.  ^___^
Just because she doesn't come from a bottle doesn't mean she can't swap bodies.  ^___^;

QuoteDid they have doom for palm-tan?

Hell yeah! (no pun intended ^.^)

THAT'S THE SPIRIT!!!  ^0^
(Pitkin's gonna LOVE this...  ^___^)

QuoteIf inking and color are done, it should be like, a short job to finish o.O maybe its just cus I use photoshop, but Ink is 80 percent of the workload. Maybe you should get plam-tan to help you.

Yeah, its cause of Photoshop, where you can raster away at all that shading.  With Inkscape, I get the benefit of inking and coloring simultaneously, but experience a drawback when it comes to shading.  Essentially, I have to "sculpt" it into position like everything else.  I'd leave it to Photoshop, but I want ot make sure the lines stay crisp (besides, I only use Photoshop for the really complicated effects.

And besides, Palm-tan hates me right now cause she thinks the expressions of the girls behind her are too irreverant.  She'd rather have them bow and grovel before the mighty Palm-tan.

Quoteof course OSR 2.5 is a real character. She showed up in a bunch of a preticular line of OS Tan comics. Perhaps palm-tan will get a place on wiki after she shows up in a couple of comics.

That's my dream someday, although not just with Palm-tan.  More than likely Amiga-tan will get a chance at it first, as she'll appear again in my next pic (plus my signature) and will have more importance in all that faction stuff I talked about earlier.  By comparison Palm-tan is just comic relief, although I do have a funny story idea involving her and Homeo that I'll probably never work on, but would be great if I had the resources to.

BTW, I expected the great Captain to know who 95 OSR 2.5-tan, but you never know when a n00b might appear who might see her, not recognize her, and think I'm Deja Vu'ing 95-tan!  @__@

I can just picture it now..... -__-'

Dark_Knight-like 95-tan Uber Fan:  I just discovered that you have desecrated the Goddess!  Now you will D-I-E!

C-Chan:  UWAAAAAAAA~!!!!!  ;^0^;


So I rest my case.
BTW, since the comic style where she appears from doesn't lend to much detail, I hope fans won't be disappointed if I embellished her clothing a little more.  I also equipped her with a Jutte to spice her up a little and cement her standing as an intermediary between 95-tan and 98-tan.  She's obviously dressed in transition from the feudal period to the modern era (98-tan), but still carries around something to police against the sword-wielding remnants of the old era (95-tan).  

Technically-speaking, that weapon can allow her to disarm (or even break!) 95-tan's katana, but that requires tremendous skill and guts.  Question is: does 95 OSR 2.5-tan have enough skill and guts?  `v'

QuoteWell I figure Im getting annoying now, I just wanted to make up for the lack of Palm-tan In my post to keep us on topic, not that horror movies, zombie survival, and angst dont directly relate to plam tan.

You're not far off, btw.
Palm-tan may be a genie, but she really sucks at it.
You never know when a seemingly benign wish, like asking for a cheeseburger (yum) or a copy of Doom 4 (OOH-RAH!) or a REAL Aliens vs. Predator movie ('bout time), may result in an advertent awakening of th dead (EWWW!) or opening of the gates of Hell (AAAAAH!) or crashing of a cargo spaceship infested with xenomorphs (ZOMGWTF!!!!).  Now just imagine if those were all your spent up three wishes.  ^___^;

Reading your reply to my rants is about as fun as ranting itself.  No one else is posting in here but I least hope they are reading it :P

Maybe Im just not forum savy, but I ment it seemed like a pain in the ass to requote everything just to deleat it all so that only the sentence i want to reply to remains.  But I know know how to do it otherwise.

Concidering the the streets of heaven are guarded by United States Marines, yes.  See marine corps hymn final verse.

You must get doom 3.  YOU MUST! the expansion too. there is a part in the expansion where reality and hell our begining to merge as the teleporters are about fried, and one second everything will look dark and normal minus the flashing red lights and klaxons in the background, but every few seconds things shift and everything turns a red hugh, the walls are splatered with blood, skeletons are strewn about everywhere, and then they cease to be, like a vision, but when they are there you can touch and move them as if they were real.

There is another part, in the original, just before you go to hell where your aporching the main teleporter and the lights are strobing down a long dark corridor. the walls are utterly splatered with blood and there are bloody stripped skeletons everywhere, but as you walk slowly down this corridor the white overhead lights flashing, every now and then when they came on there would be a big mother fucker there with a raised chainsaw and buuy the time you squeese a panicked shell off the lights were black agian, they would come on and he would be gone.  time elapsed 1 second but your heart would be thundering in your chest.

You were a doomED guy too huh?  yeah I know all about it being a 2d map.  Still it was convincing enough when playing.  Those were the days. did you ever play the Evil dead, Army of darkness mod?  that was the shit, tho doom was a bit to fast paced for something like that

If you still have the .wad files send em to me, Ive got doom 95 on my comp that has an in windows launcher that alowes you to easily open wad files and play them.

Again I didnt play much starcraft. I dont care much for those realtime stradegy games.. cept for Dawn Of War. that game is the shit. it rocks. oh god, I could rant all day on it, but I wont (people waiting to use the computer) But Ill just say my Captain Brenden nick comes from playing the game its based on for well about 10 years.  

we agree it kills brain cells, and you want me to watch it twice? I might not get through even once! I was watching the hills have eyes the other day I had to turn it off it was so retarded.  well I guess the scean where the screaming angst girl got raped by a mutant was cool but the rest sucked.

Of course it was confusing.  It pays homage to silent hill. Im a fanatic of silent hill and yet I still cant tell you exactly what happened and why. its not clean cut, its a confusing heap of hate and deception.  Turn off the lights and enjoy!

My shotgun is an Mossburg m590, which has a bayonet lug on it.  Im set.

*after saving 3.1sama from the horrible pig he goes to get the stuff for BLTs.. minus the bacon cus that is already taken care off...*

Rotten stump, rotten head.  Splatters the same.

speed of infection.  thats how they explain it.  its too big before the police even relizes its a problem.  even well trained riot cops can be overwelmed.  chaos and confusion can cause even the most elite military unit to break apart if the leadership fails.

what really sucks is if you did survive then you were concidered good at it and you were sent out to do it again.

He had better come back! I mean, he was being manupulated by g-man just like freeman, which means his "employers" concider him important enough to pay atention to (unlike barney)  and they did throw him into an void where "no harm could come to him" so he should be fine, and could be pulled out of it if the need arises...

I need to do a shepard pic. actually I thoguht about having him pose with hunk, proving the badest mothers wear gas masks.

I didnt use too many traps and I cirtanly didnt use the grave gun as much as most.  I tend to be a master of move shoot and conserve and I managed to have enough ammo not to need to resort to the conveniently located sawblades (tho why does one town need that many saw blades?)

speaking of pitkin, he has been back for a day or two but he has made like only one post. he needs flogging.

Actually we need to get a extream fanboy for each os on here.  its good for keeping each one hyped up. Im constantly ranting 3.1, darklord is all linux linux linux, darknight is 95 all the way, and like yah!  woo! we just need some more.

I should say that I feel 2k dosent fit in that pic.  its like she just happened to have been sketched near them and was put in the pic.  I donno, maybe its just the way im looking at it.

Just a Quick edit.  I just geekgasumed again. My keyboard is all messed up. I for some odd reason looked up half life 2 ep 1 reviews cus I ordered it for my new dell (dood im getting a dell!) and like I saw the wiki artical on it.  I like wiki, it gives you the downlow so I started reading through it.. and look what I found:

Relations to Portal
Main article: Portal (computer game)
Set to be released alongside Half-Life 2: Episode Two, the game Portal has raised suspicions that the character of Adrian Shephard could finally make a return. The game has been confirmed as taking place within the Half-Life universe, but the game's playable character will not be Gordon Freeman. Given that the only other playable character, Barney Calhoun, already has a backstory, Adrian Shephard seems a likely candidate, given that his fate is unresolved at the end of Opposing Force.

This theory is supported through several links between the games. Portal's central weapon is the "Aperature Science Handheld Portal Device," and has the ability to generate entry and exit portals on flat surfaces, which the player can then move through. This weapon bears a great resemblance to the Displacer weapon of Opposing Force, which dispatched enemies by teleporting them to the border world of Xen. The weapon's secondary fire could also transport the player to Xen. Another link is found through studying the name of Portal's weapon. "Aperature Science Handheld Portal Device" abbreviates to the acronym of ASHPD, a possible reference to Adrian Shephard.

It is also speculated that the "Testing Center" Portal is set in, may in fact be that owned/controlled by the G-Man himself using it to find a suitable candidate to replace the loss of Gordon Freeman to the vortigaunts.

oh good god that made my say :D  I dont even know where to start.  So short after mentioning my desier to Shepard once again kick ass this pops up.  

On another note, related, I read all the info they had for op for and my god wiki takes it too far sometimes.   The low down on all that was in that game down to the breakdown of the military structure of the marines.  It had theories for why the marines wore berrets and had apatches rather then (like I did) writting it off as poor research.  Hell, they describe the plot of op 4 and it reads like it were a movie or a book, not a game.  

I would saggest you check it out c-chan, being a fellow halflife shepard enthusiest.

*snap salute*
For the glory of Palm-tan (and maybe a little bit of Windows 95 OSR 2.5-tan - wow, what a tongue-twister...), I WILL check out that OpFor wiki article!!  ^__^\

I'll be back later on!  ^o^
(Cause it's been a busy day,... oi....  -_-')

C-Chan added the following  7 hours 7 minutes after last message :

Holy Sweet Mother of Crap!
I never knew that Race X was unrelated to the Xen aliens.....What a scoop!  ^-^

No but seriously, that article (or rather, that whole CHAIN of articles was not only enjoyable, it helped plug in a lot of gaps I encountered with the story.  Not sure if it's enough to lift my current games embargo, but at least it gives me the urge of reinstalling and playing the old HalfLife / Op4 / BlueShift.....

Assuming I have time,.... Which I already spent reading Wiki....  Oi....  ^___^;

Guess I'll have to stop by again later.  ^^;
In the meantime, just some quick responses.

You're not far off on 2K-tan's "sketchiness".  Actually, during the inking process I was seriously mulling the idea of taking her out completely.  It was already late, I was already tired (enough to cuss non-stop) and I already had enough characters facefaulting to convey the idea.
But I pressed on anyway since she was the last vestige of my original concept (I  already swapped 3.1-tan for MS-DOS-tan since I wanted EVERY character to be freaked out, swapped 95-tan for OSR2.5-tan because of personal preferences, and added Mac-tan to break the Wndows monotony).    Besides, I still wanted at least ONE character to have that "WTF!!" kind of facefault and spill scalding-hot tea.  And I have some easter eggs planned behind her.  We'll see -- you know as well as anyone how much shading makes or breaks a character.  ^____^;

You think we need dedicated fanboys?  'Kay, I'll sign up.  ^__^
But who for me, I wonder?  '_'

Darklord already claimed Linux-tan.
You got dibs on 3.1-tan.
Alfamille fawns over Mac-tan.
I'm not really feeling any of the other standard Windows girls.
Fedora-tan is still only a one-shot character by Juzo-kun.
And I'd be a shameless self-promoter if I waved around Amiga-tan.  ^^;

Okay, no choice then.....

I'll be the WINDOWS 95 OSR 2.5-TAN FANBOY,.. er, PIG!!!!  ^V^
ALL HAIL THE OBSCURE ONE!!!!!!!  ^.^

-.-  you know, I read this again, but It occured to me if you didnt know that "some" was brains that conversation could be taken very wroung.  well she is "Palm" tan o.O

Well at least 3.1sama isnt the only one that gets cake all over her.

As to your last post, maybe I'm sleep-deprived or just daft.  But do you mind if I just go ahead and say it,...

No, it made sence (tho the sleep deprived thing might be why it occured to me.)  but I shall clearify.  Palmtan replaces your hand.  deprived geeks sometimes touch themselves with their hands while looking at picutes in fore mentioned hentai gallery.  Hence:

Oh no, you got some on palm tan!


That's okay. She gets a lot of that. ^^'


Yes, I am going to hell.  On a related note, the cake pic may be why palm tan is getting frosted o.0;

Well, I guess that means you understand that little bit in her profile as to why she avoids the likes of Dr. Norton.  Still, doesn't stop her from accidentally falling into the hands (no pun) of some closet pervert (boy or girl).

Methinks you've discovered a new market venue for my creation....  ^^;

BTW, is this a laptop by any chance?  I see a battery description in there....
I would think not, since the heat needed to run that kind of hardware would melt through-and-through to your shins -- but like I said, I'm just a tad out-dated.  (AMD is -- or was[?] -- good at producing high-performance, low-power processors.)

Dont look at me, If Im ever going to be a respected artist I cant be posting such artworks publicly . That in no means means I have a hidden file folder packed with verios 3.1 pics that Im just not posting. nope, no way.

Tho I will say agian, Hentai artists are actually some of the most motivated dedicated and detailed artists I can think of. Only mecha artists beat them at detail, but there others, no force alive can match their dedication to get the best picture possible. Perversion harnessed for a pourpose!

Actually, it IS a laptop ^.^;  On top of the battery, I soppose you didnt notice the 17inch ultra sharp widescreen LCD with true life.  its even got red case lights...oooh pretty.  as for the harddrive space im certain the lap top thing is the reason I couldnt get more, but I should point out the 500 gig 7200 rpm firewire external harddrive I ordered with it.  As for the ram... that was the LEAST I could get.  I didnt have the money to upgrade it to 3 or 4 gigs. It was a minimum of 2. Heck the processor was also the minimum for what I could choose for this model.  I got the 2 gig duo, there was a 2.33 duo.  Shes currently got xp media (so my xbox 360tan can touch her in her special places... 360tan is such a lezzy. and a xp fangirl to boot! cus she only talks to her!) and when vista comes out my processor is a 64 bit so she can be installed on it.

your right that is odd.. tho I actually did contemplat seeing if i could load 3.1 on it as well just so I could use it and remember how it used to work. come to think of it.. i think i have an old 1st gen lap top that has it on it. Im gonna have to play around with it a bit.

on another note.  I may be going home in less then a week :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D WOOO!  and since she just shipped, she will arrive just before I get there.

Too bad hentai really isn't my thing as far as drawing goes, at least not the conventional stuff (e.g., ecchi, yuri, yaoi, lolicon, bakunyu, etc...).  In that sense, I'm a bit more on the "exotic" side.  -___-'

Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah,... perfectly normal...............  *twitch twitch* ^^x

As far as offering Palm-tan to her, let me think about it.  Hmmm, um, lesse,...
No.  `v'

100gigs + 500gigs = 600 GIGS!!!

KEWL, you're almost at the full terrabyte!  ^.^
I just love saying that word....  Hehe-hehe-hehe, "terrabyte".  'v'

And your laptop can accomodate MORE RAM and a FASTER processor?!!!  Seriously, if the heat from that thing doesn't burn a hole on wherever you put it, I will seriously lift my Dell trade embargo.  ^___^
Aaaaaaaah,... technology these days.......  ^.^

BTW, does that mean you've chosen a definitive 360-tan?  
I've seen a dozen of them out there -- inconsistency is a big problem with those Console-tans.

This one, for example:

Lucky,... I already gave away a 1st gen laptop I had years ago.

Wonderfull news! At least for Ken Akamatsu fans such as myself, spicifily Negima readers/watchers.  Since the first poorly done negima anime left true fans of the manga crying shinanagins it has been anounced that they are doing a second series, this time done but gainax, the company that did my favorites, evangeline, flcl, and amenoboshi. And a bunch of others I cant think of right now.  If they are doing it cus of fan outrage.. that means hopefully it will be done right this time, with FAN SERVICE!  who ever thought that they could do a ken akamatsu anime adaptation without fanservice really needs to be fired from the industry.  On a related note the original series is being heavily redrawn as it comes out on DVD and the american release will be done with the redrawn eps. the redraw is soppose to fix alot of the (nonstoryline) problems of the original series, possibly to include the aformentioned fanservice or lack of.

as for the 360 that I accept, this is the one.  I am quite impressed by her design actually, and I cirtanly dont mind her molesting my xp media.

Yet another job for the hentai artists.  Hey, why are you looking at me?

Um... what is exotic if not any of those catagories?

oh and I ordered a palmpad with CE today. Yay!  Palmtan better step up her act or be left behind!

Gee, thanks!  ^__^
But you're right, all this fun ranting has probably scared off all the forum viewers.  I can imagine some of them going like  "ZOMBIES?!!!  AAAAAH!!" and shaking in disgust.

QuoteMaybe Im just not forum savy, but I ment it seemed like a pain in the ass to requote everything just to deleat it all so that only the sentence i want to reply to remains. But I know know how to do it otherwise.

Yeah, I'm doing on the cheap myself.  ^__^
I may not look it, but I used to be neck-deep in the forum business for years!  A passionate and youthful poster, full of excitement, energy and a misguided sense of priorities...!  Aaaah, those were the days....  *v*

*sigh*

QuoteConcidering the the streets of heaven are guarded by United States Marines, yes. See marine corps hymn final verse.

I'm screwed.  X__x
Is it too late to save my bacon and say I meant "HWAH"?  ^^;

QuoteYou must get doom 3. YOU MUST! the expansion too. there is a part in the expansion where reality and hell our begining to merge as the teleporters are about fried, and one second everything will look dark and normal minus the flashing red lights and klaxons in the background, but every few seconds things shift and everything turns a red hugh, the walls are splatered with blood, skeletons are strewn about everywhere, and then they cease to be, like a vision, but when they are there you can touch and move them as if they were real.

'Kay, kay, I will, I will.  Besides, by the time I get hardware like yours and time enough to burn, the original and expansion will probably be in some bargain bin somewhere.  Just like how I got the completion DVD edition of IL2 Sturmovik and FarCry.  ^___^'

QuoteThere is another part, in the original, just before you go to hell where your aporching the main teleporter and the lights are strobing down a long dark corridor. the walls are utterly splatered with blood and there are bloody stripped skeletons everywhere, but as you walk slowly down this corridor the white overhead lights flashing, every now and then when they came on there would be a big mother fucker there with a raised chainsaw and buuy the time you squeese a panicked shell off the lights were black agian, they would come on and he would be gone. time elapsed 1 second but your heart would be thundering in your chest.

Well, I guess you can thank some pretty-damn good hardware for that.  I can only imagine how they would've pulled this off back in the old early 90's Doom.  

Speaking of which, some quick OS-tan trivia....
Did you know that a good deal of the original game was developed on a NeXTStep-tan?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextstep

You can imagine then how I'm envisioning her concept art (although I don't plan to ever deploy her until MUCH much later).

QuoteYou were a doomED guy too huh? yeah I know all about it being a 2d map. Still it was convincing enough when playing. Those were the days. did you ever play the Evil dead, Army of darkness mod? that was the shit, tho doom was a bit to fast paced for something like that   If you still have the .wad files send em to me, Ive got doom 95 on my comp that has an in windows launcher that alowes you to easily open wad files and play them.

Haha!  Yeah, my biggest gripe with 90% of all 1st-person shooters is the speed of the character, the Doom marine seeming to clock in at 20mph just WALKING!  No wonder many people got motion-sickness.....
Ah well, Half Life 2 fixes that a little.  I thought I also read once that the action in Doom3 is more human-paced, although that was before the actual game was released.
No Army of Darkness sadly, but I did get to try out the Simpsons and Aliens mod.  Not bad, but certainly nowhere near the level of talent shown with the Half-Life mods (Counterstrike, anyone?).

QuoteAgain I didnt play much starcraft. I dont care much for those realtime stradegy games.. cept for Dawn Of War. that game is the shit. it rocks. oh god, I could rant all day on it, but I wont (people waiting to use the computer) But Ill just say my Captain Brenden nick comes from playing the game its based on for well about 10 years.

Ah, the famous Warhammer series.  ^__^
Sorry, didn't play it, but probably did try out every other RTS besides that (not really, but oh well...  ^^;)

The last RTS I ever played (before entering my current gaming lull) was Command&Conquer Generals: Rise of the Reds, a really good but unfinished mod of that C&C game.  I doubt it'd be your thing, though.  -_-

Quotewe agree it kills brain cells, and you want me to watch it twice? I might not get through even once! I was watching the hills have eyes the other day I had to turn it off it was so retarded. well I guess the scean where the screaming angst girl got raped by a mutant was cool but the rest sucked.

Oh,... You had to watch some of Hills Have Eyes..... '_'
I feel for you, Captain....  ;__;

Now I'm SERIOUSLY wondering if you'll even survive the first 10 minutes of COTLD.  There's funny stupid, and then there's just plain STUPID stupid.  But sady, it STILL has the Living Dead title, so it's almost an obligation to see that disgrace.  XvX

QuoteOf course it was confusing. It pays homage to silent hill. Im a fanatic of silent hill and yet I still cant tell you exactly what happened and why. its not clean cut, its a confusing heap of hate and deception. Turn off the lights and enjoy!

Quotespeed of infection. thats how they explain it. its too big before the police even relizes its a problem. even well trained riot cops can be overwelmed. chaos and confusion can cause even the most elite military unit to break apart if the leadership fails.

Plus I guess it wasn't difficult for some social elites to simply ditch the population, move into some gated city with enough military might to protect them, and start all over in their twisted vision of a utopia.  Hey now, wasn't that the premise of the recent "Land of the Dead"?  ^^;

Quotewhat really sucks is if you did survive then you were concidered good at it and you were sent out to do it again.

Ooh!  A 'Land of the Dead' thing, again!  @.@

I need to do a shepard pic. actually I thoguht about having him pose with hunk, proving the badest mothers wear gas masks.

Well, since then you've kinda answered your own question and then some!  So there.  ^.^

QuoteI should say that I feel 2k dosent fit in that pic. its like she just happened to have been sketched near them and was put in the pic. I donno, maybe its just the way im looking at it.

Update on this -- since I'm already overbudgeted for my pic, I decided to compromise on 2K-tan.  Perhaps it's because she's not my original character AND she's not a rare character either, but I'm simply not feeling her the way I do the other 3 girls.  It's not in me to propagate characters that are already over-propagated -- I want to give other -tans a chance.  ;__;

The end result will probably be an insult to all 2k-tan fanboys, but then Apple-tan's protrayal should counterbalance that.
And vice versa, for all vengeful Mac fans.  ^^;

QuoteWonderfull news! At least for Ken Akamatsu fans such as myself, spicifily Negima readers/watchers. Since the first poorly done negima anime left true fans of the manga crying shinanagins it has been anounced that they are doing a second series, this time done but gainax, the company that did my favorites, evangeline, flcl, and amenoboshi. And a bunch of others I cant think of right now. If they are doing it cus of fan outrage.. that means hopefully it will be done right this time, with FAN SERVICE! who ever thought that they could do a ken akamatsu anime adaptation without fanservice really needs to be fired from the industry. On a related note the original series is being heavily redrawn as it comes out on DVD and the american release will be done with the redrawn eps. the redraw is soppose to fix alot of the (nonstoryline) problems of the original series, possibly to include the aformentioned fanservice or lack of.

QuoteQuote from : C-Chan



Quote
Dont forget Apple system 6 and 7 LOL!

You know (and you'd be the perfect person to ask), I WAS wondering if there are supposed to be additional Apple OS-tans or not.  After all, each and every major Windows release is depicted (at least since 3.1), but only a generic Mac, OS9 and a colorful assortment of different OS X girls represent the Mac line.  Does this mean that OS 9-tan and Mac-tan are different characters, and if so does Mac-tan just roll up ALL releases of Macintosh since version 1.0 in 1984?  (I kinda did the same thing for Amiga -- I love her to bits, but I ain't making an Amiga 1.x, 2.x, 3.x,...)

Yes, they are different to each other; (good that you asked because there is a confusion between the both of them)

Classic-tan used to be an activist of the family probably because of her being the elder among of her sisters and also protect them on those those perverted OSX "bobcat-kuns" when perverted...

While Sonata-tan is someone which would I define as "the girl next door" OS-tan;  Simple, Giving imprtance to her hobby, Conservative, Cheerful, Caring.


QuoteApple II-tan, though, will be different as she's hardcore vintage AND is (surprisingly-enough) not related at all to the Macintosh line. In fact back in the 80's, many fans of the Apple II system were ready to crucify Apple for essentially abandoning them and placing all their bets on this revolutionary (but expensive) new system called "Macintosh".

That's why I'm making her a disenfranchised OS-tan, and like Windows 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan, they all live with other vintage OS-tans instead of with their respective families. I do have a name for their "faction", but it won't make sense unless you've watched Haibane Renmei. '__'

You're the artist...have it your way...



QuoteQuote from : C-Chan

BTW, Alfamille, I need your permission to put a Mac-tan in a less-than-flattering position.  Not really looking to bash Macs (in fact, all the other additional characters won't be brave-looking either), but also want to make sure you won't vow a vendetta against me if it comes down to it.  (I'll have enough of that from 2K-tan fans.) ^^;


A Mac-tan? Which one of 'em?

And how less than flattering?

QuoteSpeaking of which, some quick OS-tan trivia....
Did you know that a good deal of the original game was developed on a NeXTStep-tan?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextstep

You can imagine then how I'm envisioning her concept art (although I don't plan to ever deploy her until MUCH much later).

Based on what I've known. Jobs once gave a demo of it...

QuoteA Mac-tan? Which one of 'em?

Based on what you said, that would be "Classic" Mac-tan.
But not to worry, after doing the drawing, it really isn't as bad as it looks (fyi, 2k-tan is in far worse shape).
I have a preliminary sketch in page 3 of this topic, but if you wait a little while I'll release the finalized PalmOS-tan pic today.  That way, you can catch Mac-sama in all her shaded, er.... Glory.

Hope you like 95OSR2.5-tan, as well....  ^^;

QuoteBased on what I've known. Jobs once gave a demo of it...

Yep.  Actually, if memory serves, NeXTStep was used to develop the first OSX.  Not bad for an obscure, independent, Unix-like OS that very few of us have ever heard of!  ^^;
I'll take this into consideration as well whenever I get to making a NeXTStep-tan pic.  As you can imagine, she's close friends with the Apple girls.

BTW, if you don't mind, can I sneak in another quick question?
If you were given the choice, what would you call the faction that the Mac-tans and -kuns belong to?  "Apple Comp" sounds too boring and "The Apple Family" sounds redundant (since I plan to use it for "The Windows Family" -- not "family" in the warm-cuddly sense, BTW, but more or less along the lines of a mafia.... Ã,¬_Ã,¬').
"The House of Mac" would be cute (kinda like "The Cult of Mac"), but I figured you'd be in a better position to know better.  ^.^

Yeah, cel-shading does lend itself too well with depth perception.  I would have liked to have added a little Depth of Field-style blurring, but that would've ruined 95OSR2.5-sama (hence, no bananas).

Note that that's still just plain ol' MS-DOS-tan.  (But PC-DOS-tan will be here soon.  ^.^)

But I hope that you'll definitely be seeing more of OSR2.5-tan.  I not only respect the original artist's ability to create so many comics, but also appreciate his/her decision to create an entirely new OS-tan.  Even if 95OSR2.5-sama was just meant for one-shot comic relief, I ain't letting her go now!  Not when I already went through the trouble of equipping her with a Jutte!  ^-^

WAI!!  That's a very cute pic!  ^___^
It raises my confusion level 50-fold (95-tan + OS9-tan = Mystery Gurl!), but it is cute, and certailnly lends credence to the fact that there are still tons of other OS-tans roaming the world!  ^-^

I'll see about fleshing out a proper reason for why Apple ][ doesn't live with the Mac girls, but I doubt it would just be based on a single thing.  For one thing, she'd be a bit too "proletarian" to fit well into Apple's current marketing approach, so it'd be to the company's benefit that she not be around.  But as far as her own feelings are concerned, it's only natural that she'd mingle better with OS-tans of her generation.  Her skills would be far better employed at the Binteji Renmei ("Vintage Federation") than in the frontlines of the struggles against Microsoft.  

There was also an Apple I and an Apple III, but I don't think I'll get THAT detailed.  ^^;
Besides, Apple II is really just the machine, not the OS -- there were, in fact, a number of "DOS" programs, the most successful being "ProDOS".  So I'm lumping them all into a single recognizable and cute OS-tan for the sake of convenience!  ^-^



QuoteActually Classic-tan looks cute in that pic.

Hey this was nicely done! You maintained the overall color! ^_^

But hey! What happened to 2k-tan? :o (also one of my favorites.)

Arigato, Alfamille-san!  ^.^

Hehehe,.... well, you know....
Classic Mac-tan isn't exactly the most difficult OS-tan to color....  ^.^;
(just white, really)
Unless you meant the other girls, in which case yeah I guess the came out alright (especially proud of 2.5-sama, since I didn't have much to work with and ended up reinventing her clothing).

2K-tan?  She's very very pale.  ^___^'
No well, I guess you missed the little note about her in the middle of all the zombie threads.  Yeah, I know her preliminary sketch [on page 3] shows her in color and with more detail, but like I told the Captain I simply wasn't "feeling" her.  Guess I'm much more motivated to draw new and underrepresented OS-tans.  ^^;

So I coped out on her design considerably (compare the final product with the preliminary sketch) to save on time and not beat around the bush any longer.  And it does sorta add to the humor.  ^____^

Besides......
Let's face it, 2K-tan is yesterday's news!
Now 95 OSR 2.5-sama.....  THERE'S a hip new OS-tan for the new generation!!  ^.^
(Even though, chronologically-speaking, she's older -- but let's just forget that inconvenient fact...  ^.^; )

QuoteI don't really know what to think yet...maybe "iResidents" or "Apple Union"....I dunno...I'll think about it next time...

iResident Evil,... LOL!  I can have a lot of fun with that one.  ^.^
Apple Union,... too proletarian....  Apple nowadays isn't exactly "working class", certainly not with those prices.... Ã,¬__Ã,¬'

In my de facto storyline premise, there was in fact a "Linux Union" (and still is in name at least), but it fell apart due to shoddy organization and cooperation.  That's why they joined forces with the remnants of the former "unix Family" to form the "Linux/Unix Consortium".

Granted the consortium is STILL a mess and STILL not a market threat to either Microsoft or Apple.  But then it's a different world now, so who know when the winds of fortune will change....  -v-

Fast detail critique: Mac-tan legs looks a bit weird, specially her left one (right one from our perspective).  2k pointy ears, lol.

@_____@
long thread is LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c212/Darknight_88/1153626665704.jpg)

I can't remeber everything I just read, but here's my contribution to some points:
Zombies: If you know the army will arrive in a couple of days, your best bet is to get on a roof with enough food and water, and a shotgun. The aluminium bat it's a great option as a melee weapon (lol, keicchi from Higurashi). A chainsaw would be interesting :D. I remember seeing a movie about zombies (dont knwo the name in english. In Spanish: Exterminio [literal translation: "Extermination"], and one of the guys got a police riot suit (shield, body armor and helmet), so I guess Its plausible to get that kind of equipment (in case there's no hope for external help and you have to get out of the city) in your local police station =P.
NOTE about the movie: Saw it on TV [Fox], the scenario was set in london: the main guy suddenly wakes up from an hospital and finds that the whole city is empty, no human presence. He enters a church and, suddennly...DOZENS OF ZOMBIES running after him. He's saved  by a guy. The zombies are created by a virus, and the virus converts you in a zombie in a few seconds

Travel only by day, get your hands on a vehicle as fast as you can. If the city isn't destroyed (destroyed buildings, heavy damaged roads, etc), a fast but solid car would be the best. A police riot suit its an excelent idea. If you get a riffle, never waste ammo spreading a wall of bullets, snipe their heads (maybe try to hit their spine?). A flamethrower would be fun, but a better idea would be a few molotov bombs.  Avoid melee combat, run always you can, but if there's no choice and you're using your steel bat, hammer, etc., try to break their spines, and keep away from their heads once they're on the ground. NEVER listen to music while fighting-traveling, you MUST be able to hear that zombie slowly aproaching  behind you. Don't touch the "dead" (head destroyed) zombies, their blood could be the transmitter.
...
Games movies: I don't know why all of you are surprised that every game-based movie sucks. Its just as natural as the Murphy laws. However,  I hope Halo can break that rule. Heads will roll if the Halo movie sucks.
...
Starcraft: AWESOME RTS. Terrans all the way. Specialist in using Battlecruisers-Science vessels, but Tanks-gols & marines-meds-tanks are also great (and sometimes more useful than those bit sitting ducks that are the battlecruisers). Using the propper combo, they can hold a large Zerg rush. I Never liked Zergs, don't like at all Protoss.

Thank you, though, for checking out my pic.  ^^
Interesting story about that leg....

The original concept art had her bent down with both legs, and in fact the Poser rendition had her in such a pose.  After cel-shading, however, she kinda looked disturbingly,... midget-like,.... so I attempted to kneel her instead.  And even then, the original knelt posture had her left leg overlapping with OSR 2.5-tan's long skirt, which somehow looked a tad "off" for some reason.

Long story short, I "drew" the leg farther away from the skirt, the kneecap pointing more towards the camera.  And keep in mind I said "drew", as in (having no Poser reference) I had to literally hand-draw the new addition like any other real artist would do.  Naturally, I'm no real artist,... hence the results speak for themselves....  ^^;

*sigh*

Yep, someone at work said the same thing.  They also hinted that OSR 2.5-tan's corsette should be bigger, stretching from the waistline to breastline.  

*siiiigh*

Live and learn, I guess.....  "v";
Did much better with Chibi Amiga and Chibi-Spectrum I think, but then they ARE just chibis.... -v-;

Anyway, got a good word in from a Me fan, a Mac fan, a 2K-fan and a 95x fan -- just need a fellow MSDOS aficianado to give me the thumbs up and we're all set.  ^___^

BTW, in your honest opinion, do you think the Jutte is a little too tacky for OSR 2.5-tan?  Or at least something the original artist might have an issue with?  ^__^;

Not too fast, not too detailed critique:
Nothing bad at first glance about Palm-tan. Again, I lol @ 2k and Mac, 95 OSR 2.5 & MSDOS expresions. MSDOS leg looks a bit off, maybe trying to hide it more behind OSR2.5. Again, Mac-tan legs look a bit weird, and maybe making her torso a bit thin can help. OSR2.5 upper torso looks a bit too big (try to define better her b3wbz, and make her torso a bit thinner, specially her left side, near the arm). I would try to redline it, but I don't really have a lot of time right now =/

BTW, Captain, I was only moments away before doing another one of those 10-minute collages inspired by your hypothetical LONGDOSKITTY.  But methinks you want her as an exclusive, so sketch away to your hearts content and I'll send you my full support.  ^_-
Besides, promised myself I would take one week off from drawing.  (there's still a shotload of numsimatic work to take care of... ^^; )

QuoteNot too fast, not too detailed critique:
Nothing bad at first glance about Palm-tan.

Woohoo!  I'll take that as a "cute"!  ^.^

QuoteAgain, I lol @ 2k and Mac, 95 OSR 2.5 & MSDOS expresions.

Wai!  ^v^


QuoteMSDOS leg looks a bit off, maybe trying to hide it more behind OSR2.5.

Oh yeah, technically she's lunging at OSR2.5-tan, so her leg's still lifted off the ground.  Same deal with the pigtail.  ^^'

QuoteAgain, Mac-tan legs look a bit weird, and maybe making her torso a bit thin can help.

Ack!  Thinner still?  @__@
B-b-b-b-b-b-but,... but then we'll be reaching Sailor Moon proportions....
Where will her intestines fit...?  ;__;

QuoteOSR2.5 upper torso looks a bit too big (try to define better her b3wbz

Hehehe... flat-chested.....  Ã,¬vÃ,¬'

Quote, and make her torso a bit thinner, specially her left side, near the arm).

Tricky, considering the angle of the arm.  ^^'
Could tighten the corsette a little in later pics,... but really don't want to subject another poor woman to barbaric 19th century fashions.  ^^;

QuoteI would try to redline it, but I don't really have a lot of time right now =/

Not to worry.  Remember, que sera sera and whatever will be will be.  ^__^

By week's end, all resources will need to be pooled for the creation of my 3rd pic, which will be a helluva task considering the onslaught of new characters I'll be introducing at once.  Truly, there are times when cheating is more difficult that honest work....  -___-'

Quote from: "NewYinzer"What happened to the discussion of PalmOS-tan?

Why, it's grown a mind of it's own.  ^__^
You see,... Palm-tan's currently in the LongDOSKitty phase.  ^.^

*sniff*

This sure was a fun thread, no Captain?  ^___^;
Well, everything I needed from this thread has been moved to the Annex (http://ostan.blackdiam.net/viewtopic.php?t=231)

I should have all the information pertaining to my PalmOS rendition there, plus any additional updates I may have since the time of this writing.  -v-

Thanks to those who participated in this thread.  ^__^
Time to close shop now....
