Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Aurora Borealis on January 03, 2009, 12:02:40 AM
Something I contemplated since the summer but inspired by the recent OS-tan discussions at the DeviantART OS-tan club (DeviantOS-tans.deviantart.com), I finally decided to restart zerOSanity, hopefully better and crazier than ever! ;012

What is zerOSanity?

A portmanteau of "zero", "OS" and "sanity" of course!

Well, yeah! What is it about?

Ohh... It's an OS-tan fancomic centering around the silliness and absurdities of the OS-tan world and includes many many characters- from OSes to websites to malware, canon to obscure, modern to vintage to historic, proprietary to open source, crazy to even crazier!

Now... Let's get this series started![/b]

--zerOSanity has a whole new look!--

*p.03: "Yowie! Is that some Yaoi?!" (http://kattlanna.deviantart.com/art/zerOSanity-p-03-108647579)

--ZS Valentine's Special '09--

W00t! Your comic just got a fan. :P

...Wait, I remember this! If I'm not mistaken you posted a sketch of this page in the thread where I talked about Calmira, right?

Your Previous --> Current Fan Conversion Matrix is operating within nominal bounds. I am excited about the restart! ^o^

Here is page 02: "Linux XP-tan is in the house!" (http://kattlanna.deviantart.com/art/zerOSanity-p-02-108581145)

It's the first page ported over from zerOSanity Redux!

Added after 17 hours 18 minutes:

The second part to the Linux XP-tan mini-arc: p.03: "Yowie! Is that some Yaoi?!" (http://kattlanna.deviantart.com/art/zerOSanity-p-03-108647579)

I got this page done in time for Valentine's Day but forgot to post it here!

Awesome! One thing, her outfit is almost like a Mac, only with a heart instead of an apple on the chest! O_o;
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Aurora Borealis on February 16, 2009, 09:30:37 AM
That's an interesting coincidence. Loveletter-tan's outfit was intended to have a love letter theme to it, with parts of her outfit imitating an envelope with a heart-shaped seal on it.

Now... If you were in 98-tan's situation, would you open the letter? (I wouldn't because almost nobody can trust AOL-tan these days!)
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Cockleshell on February 16, 2009, 09:40:17 AM
I would give it to a Mac-tan or a Linux-tan to open because most viruses only work on windows <<;
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Smokey on February 16, 2009, 01:43:53 PM
I'd expect 2k-tan to jump in and shred the letter...good 'ol 2k...^_^

Added after 24 seconds:

Also... YEAH! ZerOSanity is back :D

Here are pages 04, 05 and the newly-finished page 06! This is the start of a new story arc: "A/UX-tan ALMOST joins the User Space Gang!"

p.04: "All aboard the USS Glenda!" (http://kattlanna.deviantart.com/art/zerOSanity-p-04-109724289)

Woot. Good to see you working on this again.. I kinda didnt notice when you stopped, but I was wondering why I hadnt seen anything on it for a while..

Also, ive watched you on DA.
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Aurora Borealis on February 22, 2009, 11:27:48 AM
Thanks for the devwatch! I didn't know that you had a new account until you devwatched me!

I'm trying to work on zerOSanity whenever I can while not neglecting my other comic (which I had neglected for waaaay to long! I originally started it almost three years ago!)

Here is page 07, almost fresh off the submission form!

p.07: "EAT THIS!!" (http://kattlanna.deviantart.com/art/zerOSanity-p-07-113769980)

It seems that ZS has taken a turn for the... lowbrow?! The next page will be sappy, and the finale for the story arc will be weird!
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Smokey on February 22, 2009, 01:20:09 PM
LOL...
Really, LOL...

Here's page 08! Tiny people appear, but don't eat them!

Are there that many DS-OSes?
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Aurora Borealis on February 28, 2009, 03:58:35 PM
Yes there are, though these days only one of them currently has the "Damn Small" label and that is Damn Small Linux. Damn Small BSD was renamed "Evoke" and Damn Small Solaris was renamed "MilaX" but I'm still going by their old names!
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Smokey on February 28, 2009, 05:25:23 PM
Ah, so... anyways, good comic still... ;010
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Aurora Borealis on March 01, 2009, 09:24:21 PM
Thanks!

Here it is at last, the finale to the "A/UX-tan ALMOST joins the User Space Gang" story arc!

p.09: "GET TO THE ROCKET!" (http://kattlanna.deviantart.com/art/zerOSanity-p-09-114596042)

I bet you didn't see any of this coming. BTW, when drafting this, I was just thiiiiis close to having System 3.4-tan say "Come with me if you want to live!" XD
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Smokey on March 02, 2009, 06:41:19 AM
No i didn't see any of that coming... Mac? btw does 3.4-tan have awful taste in sunglasses or is it just me? ^_^
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Aurora Borealis on March 02, 2009, 03:53:11 PM
Bah! I for one think those are awesome sunglasses she's wearing! :D

How do you feel about surprise endings like these? :)
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Smokey on March 02, 2009, 04:11:43 PM
Cool, i for one love plot twists... ;010

And as for the specs, that's an issue of tastes and that's exactly what makes this world interesting... ^_^

I bet she can see forever in those glasses  . _ .

I've been working on my other comic series for the past few weeks so now I'm switching back to ZS, with a new page and story arc!

p.10: "One's trash is another's treasure!" (http://kattlanna.deviantart.com/art/zerOSanity-p-10-119161375)
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Smokey on April 13, 2009, 08:09:53 PM
Cool, but why would anyone trash an XBOX?? Sorry i own one and still use it (only i have lent it to someone who neds a DVD player)...
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Aurora Borealis on April 13, 2009, 08:14:56 PM
People these days probably are too lazy to get their systems fixed. Though considering how lazy I can be at times, I might not have the right to criticize!

A year ago my Xbox 360 got the dreaded Red Ring of Death and had to be shipped all the way to some tech support center in Texas to get it fixed. I also have an original XBOX (my family got it the day it was first released to the public!) but I'm not sure if it works anymore- it had a lot of problems.

The XBOX appearing in the junkyard is the start of a weird plot twist coming up on the next page and it involves robots! :D

strange, but fascinating... hmm you've captivated me... keep going... ;010

p.11: "And one's treasure is another's home!" (http://kattlanna.deviantart.com/art/zerOSanity-p-11-119864471)

I told you there'd be a plot twist! :D
Title: The NEW zerOSanity!
Post by: Smokey on April 20, 2009, 04:53:55 AM
LOL, you'd think ROM-DOS-tan would notice the XBox being empty, since those things weigh nearly a ton... ^_^

*checks the so far done pages of the new zerOSanity, and cheerfully smiling*
Teeheehee! These storylines are awesome, just as expected! And the addition of the various uncommon -tans is a nice touch! I just love these character designs!

[Also off-topic, but yeah, I'm back from my more than one year long hiatus^^]

Post by: Aurora Borealis on October 06, 2009, 10:33:35 PM
Fresh from the submissions, it's page 13! p.13: "Pranks for the laughs!" (http://kattlanna.deviantart.com/art/zerOSanity-p-13-139462396)

I'm happy to be resuming zerOSanity! It'll especially come in handy since in a few pages, my other comic series is going to get really serious in its next story arc and I need some silliness to balance it out!
