She looks perfect! Thank you again! ^__^

I didn't say it originally but the rendering on her veil & hair looks really cool. I also love the subtle glow from her visible eye. :0

THERE SHE IS!!! ^_^

She looks great! My only suggestion would be making her skintone a touch richer; I don't think I captured it well in my original sketches for her(...)

I see, I was indeed using the original sketch as reference so I didn't catch that.



Also, I should play the new tomodachi

She looks great! My only suggestion would be making her skintone a touch richer; I don't think I captured it well in my original sketches for her, but the most recent rendered piece is closer to what I envision. (I also like Goujer's Tomadachi Life version with a deeper skintone; in general I would say err on the side of deeper than paler.)

I adore your rendering of Plan 9-tan and still have her set as my phone BG. ^___^

The California location naming scheme's fun for the more recent Apple OSes.  I like your designs.  Part of the process is just kinda flying off how it feels things should look (and what elements you wanna include).  I like Tahoe's big ass boots and power stance.

Thanks! And yes, totally agree with you. Wonder how will they name the next release.


Anyways. Have a ENIAC! Finally got to draw her. Hopefully, I didn't miss anything. Still need to a full body render, tho


And Plan 9, too which I had posted a while back in my tumblr (don't know where i saved the file with the bg heh)

Kind of a follow up to the previous thing. Inspired by the convo Stew & I had about Whirlwind loving her kids a lot, but not understanding what children are into, or having a good sense of what's child appropriate or not, because she didn't have a childhood herself.

Exemplified by her habit of taking them to schlocky B-movies at the worst theater in town.

(RIP Scollay Square)

3.1-sama and MS-DOS-tan definitely agree.

IBSYS-tan, UMES-tan, and BESYS-tan.  Any of the mechanical/hydraulic -tans. (For fan stuff)

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

How fun! I'm not used to seeing designs for particular distro releases but I like how much flavor you were able to give each one. I think 20.1 is my favorite!

Almost done with my designs for the remaining macOS friendos, only Sequoia and Tahoe to go.
It is really fun playing with the color palette already provided with each release. I'm mainly using them to style the hair of each design.

In the meantime, these are the ones I've completed:

Big Sur: I just wanted to draw a girl with the old anime nerdy glasses, no other reason lol. Her hair kinda worked out since it looks like an apple, imo. I like to think she is very chill and likes to nerd out about the Apple Silicon (that powers her?)

The California location naming scheme's fun for the more recent Apple OSes.  I like your designs.  Part of the process is just kinda flying off how it feels things should look (and what elements you wanna include).  I like Tahoe's big ass boots and power stance.

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

Maid!  Good inspiration!

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

Oh I remember this version.

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

If you stick with the ones that interest you, hopefully it won't be too many!  Or some that have a stronger image over the arc of the distro.
