OS-tan Fan-Fics, Comics and Fan-Stuff / Re: teku-a-fool's collection
Last post by tekuafool - May 02, 2026, 09:09:42 PMI 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.
That said, I still tried to apply the same paradigm as with Windows versions:
Started with 22.3 Zena to give a face to the current-ish version and worked backwards. Nothing much besides that I'm using the Mint colors and trying to do something with the default wallpaper the OS comes with.
20.1 Ulyssa, a bit random tbh. She comes with Hypnotix, an app by the same team.
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.
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.
1.0 Ada, the start. It was imperative for her to have cat ears.
Maybe a bad idea, considering the amount of distros that are out there (makes me shudder) but eh. whynot

Last post by thetitanflix - May 01, 2026, 09:47:17 PMThanks! Been making a documentary about the Apple-Tans, this seemed like the last piece I needed to dissect before I do anything else
Now... That's a lot of translating and sorting to do...

Last post by Bella - April 30, 2026, 11:01:36 PMHell yeah, I love seeing (and picking) character themes! I'm actually not familiar with many of these but the inclusion of Glitch Mob, Submotion Orchestra & Marina makes me wanna check out the rest. ^^

Last post by Bella - April 30, 2026, 10:49:20 PMWeirdly I remember hearing it talked about way back, but I never actually read it at the time. Took me a bit of digging around through the forum / wiki to even pick up the context clues for where to look to find it...
I found it in the old gallery, under the adult 18+ section as it's ecchi. Viewer discretion advised, proceed at your own risk etc.

Last post by tekuafool - April 30, 2026, 09:55:27 PMQuote from: Lily1027 on April 30, 2026, 09:29:02 AMI will also help upload your art to the gallery!after it will start working again, I get the "Auto tagger failed error".
Thank you! hope I'm not being too bothersome.
Not sure if this merits a different thread but whenever I'm creating a character/design, I like to assign musical themes to each since it helps me set the vibe I'm going for.
Dunno if these songs are everyone's cup of tea but these are what I think fit each character:
- Yosemite-tan: Lord Genmu - Hold It (Glitch Mob Remix)
- El Capi-tan: Glitch Mob - Higher
- Sierra-tan: Lane 8 - Stir Me Up (Ryan Murgatroyd Remix)
- High Sierra-tan: Xinobi - Far Away Place (Tensnake Remix)
- Mojave-tan: Jody Wisternoff & James Grant - Nightwhisper
- Catalina-tan: Edward Maya- Stereo Love
- Big Sur-tan: Pale Blue - One Last Thing
- Monterey-tan: Bob Moses -Back Down (Hayden James Remix)
- Ventura-tan: Submotion Orchestra - In Gold (Sorrow Remix)
- Sonoma-tan: Marina - Froot
- Sequoia-tan: Stalgia - Bdy (Joe Mason Remix)
- Tahoe-tan: 2 Mello - I wanna Kno

Last post by thetitanflix - April 30, 2026, 04:26:09 PMFirst topic... hope I didn't miss anything! 
I've been searching through the older forums to find a link to Mac Manga, but anything that seemed leading ended up not working anymore, any tips to find it?
