Title: HURD-tan
Post by: Kami-Tux on February 15, 2007, 08:27:44 AM
You all know that I can not really draw well, and so this HURD-tan is far from reaching version 1.0.

(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k117/SystemKarela/stuff/HURD-tan.png)

HURD-tan is a student who works as a waiter to make ends meet. She is a perfectionist, which severly hinders her academic progress since she wants to understand everything completely and always find the most elegant solution. She is a bit distrusting towards the distro-tans, with the exception of Debian-tan. She prefers to stay away from Linux-tan since she still feels a lot of anger towards her. She is not exactly aware of the existance of most of the Windows-tans. As she would say: "Hey, I have my studies, my work, I have no time to read the news." She likes to hang out in her limited free time with other rather nerdy OS-tans.

Some explanations: I used the lilac hair to show the family similarity to Minix-tan and of course Linux-tan. Besides the obvious pun about being a 'waiter' the tablets also imply that the HURD kernel is based on servers.

The elegant shoes symbolize how HURD made life hard for itself by only searching an elegant solution.

Wow, That's pretty nifty! You saw a gap, and filled it in! Great Job!

Hehe... well it was only a matter of time before the Great Penguin God came up with a HURD design, since she's been talking about a HURD-tan for a long while now.  The server part is very cute, plus the fact that she's so out of it with current events.  I reckon all Unix and Unix-like types have to have a little quirk or two (or twenty). ^__^

I'm sure she's so distracted in her work, she doesn't even realize (or care if) she's the butt end of countless jokes.
("Yeah yeah yeah, I'll get you that Duke Nuke thingie too.  Now please, go away.")

See?  Thanks to you finally being back, your rekindling my interest in drawing Linux, Unix and Unix-like systems.  -v-

Yeah, she is at the butt-end of many jokes without caring: "Three beers and one enlightenment 17? okay, I got that, I'll hurry! What do you mean about half a year? no, I'll hurry!"

I however think the various oddities of the Unix-tans are adorable. Linux-tan and the fact that she is n+x distro-tans when you look at her, Puffy-tan's paranoia...

oh, BTW: Can I upload svgs to the gallery?

Fufufu... Puffy-tan.  ^.^

As for the gallery, SVGs can't be uploaded to the gallery since it will only accept standard image files.  There you'd have to convert it to PNG, of course.  -.-

The Download section, on the other hand, is a different story.  ^__^

/C-chan loves.  A brilliant mixture of cuteness and elegance.  ^__^

But that does seem like her just starting a new job at a French restaurant -- I wonder what she'd look like after clocking in her first 14 hours of straight overtime.  -v-'

good god thank you for your eye soothing Thuroris, nice art!
Though her face looks a little sharp for a student who doesn't care much about things around her. Just a suggestion.

I feel honoured

Sorry i didn't understand what you mean  ;015 (Do you want a bigger version where you can see better her eyes?) ??

I can't be certain, but I would guess that Xyanide meant that your drawing was an imporvement over the original concept art, maybe?

Ah! Oh! I see ! Thanks Tsubashi ^^

May i ask you all which version do you all like more? The Violett, Black or none of them ?
and if you choose the 3rd answer :

then tell me what she could wear! just tell me! :D
I want suggestions ^_^

elegant and cute! I like her very much! Her clothes look far more elegant than the Schürze (can't translate but Thurosis understands me) she was originally wearing! And I think the black tuxedo looks better!

Aha! ^^ I like the black tuxedo one too! (this was the second that i made)

btw "Schürze" means/heißt "Apron" on english if i'm not wrong

do you have any suggestion what HURD-tan could wear too?

Well, what I used was what came first when doing an image-search for waitress ;107

that is exactly what i meant yes XD

but in my opinion her clothing shouldn't just be about where she works...just that concept doesn't say the whole thing about Hurd-tan. For example the clothing design being a reference to the graphics of the GIU, or something she's serving or whatever.

I guess we need to think of some accessories that hint towards her OS functions, but I never worked with HURD (never even saw it on a computer) so i'm not much of help when it comes to that sorry XD

Post by: Kami-Tux on February 16, 2007, 01:28:40 PM
well, my reasoning was since HURD is using a very modularized kernel, which consists of numerous servers, to have her serve something. Therefore making her a waitress. Also waiter is a nice pun on the fact that she is under progress since ~16 years (at that time, I did not know the female form differed).

Edit: Since many programs are the same under Linux and the HURD, I thought basing her on the kernel instead on the GUI was required.

ah wait i thought it was a complete OS of it's own! nevermind, my mistake haha XD

i see your point now...looks like it's pretty complete
Title: HURD-tan
Post by: Kami-Tux on February 16, 2007, 01:38:27 PM
It IS an OS on its own, but the Unices are a close family and are programmed very similarily. This is why programs can easily be ported to different OSes as long as the programs are not too hardware dependant. This is why programs like the bash and the rest of the GNU-tools run on about every Unix and Unix-like OS.

that's true (that's one of those reason too why i want more suggestions!)

That would be cool accessories!

The same for me!
i drew this version based on the version that Kami-tux gaved me  [/code]
