Nice sketches!

I really like the Odyssey-san one, cause Odyssey-tan needs more depictions!

C-Chan

Sorry Aurora-dono for not stopping by here earlier!  Had quite a lot of stuff to take care of.... ^v^'

But you know how much I loVe (and yes, capital "V" is intentional) your sketches.  ^.^

Adam-chan:  I gotta love her with her hair down.  She seems almost ME-like, sans the braided pigtails.  ^__^
BarbieLinux-tan + C-chan:  That is me right?  Cause technically, I'm still glued onto her.... ^>^

*fidgets*

But you knew I was gonna love that the most!  ^v^

*squeals with delight*

Tiger-sama:  Cute, but I can't quite make out her eyes from this resolution.  ;__;

Odyssey:  A bit too small, but love the spoof concept!  -v-

QNX-sama:  Anything with QNX-sama is an insta-WIN!  ^___^

95 OSR 2.5-sama:  Anything with OSR 2.5-sama is an insta-WIN as well!  ^v^

98 sisters:  Look good as chibis.  ^__^

Foobies/TotalFark-tan:  Yeah, I want TF-sama to give the crazy Foob-chan a nice scalding!  ^v^

Eagerly awaiting more Aurora-induced goodness.... ^___^

*wags tail*

This a quick post-and-run, but I will be back to make a full response later!

Beta version of the 30th anniversary picture, now includes some shading and some of the other girls added in (Lisa-tan, System 2-tan, System 1-tan, GS/OS-tan, System 7-tan and System 3-tan)

C-Chan

GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!  >V<

I knew it!!!!!!  You and Bella-sama are trying to Kill me with Kuteness!!!!!!!  >v<

*stares at the overaundance of gorgeousness and remarkable fashion statements*  @.@

No fair..... ;^v^;

INSTANT SUPERNOVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many adorable Mac-tans in one place, this deserves an Epic win, Aurora sama!! *pulls rope which pours out confetti and a sign that says 'This Freakin' Wins!'*

"Wut..."

But there will be MOAR MAC-TANS when it is finished!

Why, here are some 'new' ones now!


Mac OS 7.7-tan, Mac OS 8.7-tan and Macintosh System 4.4-tan; 3 'unreleased' Mac OSes!

7.7-tan is "Blade Runner"-inspired because that OS being renamed led to the killing of all Apple clones. (Replicants are like human clones, the protagonist of the movie was sent to get rid of them...)

8.7-tan is obviously a younger Mac OS 9-tan and she is cranky because 8.7 was originally 9 but was going to be changed due to a lawsuit from another company because they thought it sounded too similar to OS-9 (speaking of which, any ideas for an OS-9-tan? I know what her personality will be but I'm having problems trying to think of what she would look like)

And 4.4-tan is an eccentric girl who likes to play mind tricks on people. Or maybe she's not very good at counting! *hint hint*


95 OSR 2.5-tan + 98-tan, right from the second 'random doodles' picture!

I will also make a finished version of the Odyssey-tan looking at the monolith as well.

I dont remember 95 OSR 2.5 being that.... welll..... endowed.... ._.

Wow!  Just when I thought that there wasn't enough room for more Mac-tans, there are more cute ones along the way!  ^__^

In any event, sorry if I have to disappear for a little bit, but I'm gonna try to finish the Rhapsody logo in one quick salvo!  ^o^

When I return, I shall shower all wonderful recent artwork with the praise it deserves!  ^___^

*scurries off*

QuoteI dont remember 95 OSR 2.5 being that.... welll..... endowed.... ._.

Oh, and PS:

That's my fault,... my last 95 OSR 2.5-sama pic accidentally depicted her as quite,............... bouncy............. but I swear it was because of camera angles......  ^^;

more like camera angles and time-space distorsions over several dimensions :D


...

mmm, yeah, I finally appear over this thread. I was waiting until I had the time to look through all the 43 pages, but I guess I would never catch the time to do so...

Nice effort and good luck Aurora.

P.S: That said, most OS'es here are unknown to me, so I'll stay aside <_<

Bella

QuoteI dont remember 95 OSR 2.5 being that.... welll..... endowed.... ._.

Maybe this is female prejudice, but you fanboys think this is bad XD

Anyhow, I really like how OSR 2.5-san is holding Hacchan down by her head heehee...and the look on her face is priceless  ;010

And those unreleased Mac OS-tans are cool! I really like 7.7-tan, and 8.7 too...though I'm clueless about 4.4's hint you speak of ;)

Makes me want to do some unreleased Win-tans....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-9

I'm not sure, either, but I do know she'd be one of those "old school" gals who's still around to this day (kinda like some of the DEC-tans). She tries to be like Unix-sama in some ways, but in fact hates Her quite a lot. She loves telling folks stuff like,

QuoteUNIX:
An operating system similar to OS-9, but with less functionality and
special features designed to soak up excess memory, disk space and CPU
time on large, expensive computers.

(^that was an easter egg in OS 9)

*walks in and immediately SWOONS at sight of Mac Anniversary pick*

I swear I can't get enough of that picture.  ^__^

Lisa-tan is her cute melancholic self, but System 1 and 2 are downright beautiful with their gala dresses!!  @o@
I know it's not much to wield hammers with, but I'm almost tempted to draw System 1-chan with that dress permanently!  ^.^

GS/OS-tan is also very charming with that new dress of hers!  ^v^

OS7-tan looks about ready for a Sunday stroll in a park (and is that a cute smile I see?)  @v@

And don't get me started on System 3-chan!!!  She's as magnetic as ever and I'm proud you've mastered that checkered effect very well!!  ^v^

INSTANT WIN THAT DEMANDS IMMEDIATE SWOONAGE RIGHT NOW!!!  ^0^

*C-chan swoons*

QuoteBut there will be MOAR MAC-TANS when it is finished!

*C-chan regains consciousness*

Oh right, we still have more.  ^.^'

Quote7.7-tan is "Blade Runner"-inspired because that OS being renamed led to the killing of all Apple clones. (Replicants are like human clones, the protagonist of the movie was sent to get rid of them...)

Hmmmm,... that might need some explaining, but somehow... even though it's just a sketch,... she sorta kinda reminds me of OS7.5-tan.  '__'

Quote8.7-tan is obviously a younger Mac OS 9-tan and she is cranky because 8.7 was originally 9 but was going to be changed due to a lawsuit from another company because they thought it sounded too similar to OS-9 (speaking of which, any ideas for an OS-9-tan? I know what her personality will be but I'm having problems trying to think of what she would look like)

Huh?  That also might need some explaining.... cause wouldn't she just be like Sonata-san when she was younger?  ^^;

As for the older OS-9-tan, I've wondered myself how she would look like.  -v-;

I guess if you want to be mischievous and retrogressive, you could always make OS-9-tan look like Sonata-san, only with black or dark purple hair (a reference to her UNIX-like nature) and obviously different clothing.  And based on some of the stuff discussed here....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-9

...I can just imagine all the fun we could have if other OS-tans (and pervy OS-kuns... `v') start confusing her with Sonata-san.  By now she's probably fed up from forwarding all those letters and packages that was supposed to be destined for the Mac House. ^.^;

QuoteAnd 4.4-tan is an eccentric girl who likes to play mind tricks on people. Or maybe she's not very good at counting! *hint hint*

Okay, baka C-chan is confuzzled again.  ^^;

But I do like her.  System 4-chan + LONGER pigtails = INSTANT WINNAGE.  ^.^

Did I forget to mention that OSR 2.5-sama rocks?!  ^V^
(although Hacchan does look very very small in this pic... ^.^;)

Fufufufu..... ^.^

I figured Bella-san would chime in about OS-9-tan as well.  ^v^

OS-9-tan's got a lot of guts to say that about UNIX-sama, given that EVERYONE knows what UNIX is (not exactly, but just paly with me here... ^^;), but no one but hobbyists remember OS-9.  Unless you mean Soooooonata-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaa................. BWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!  ^V^

Aw yeah, she's gonna be an unusually fun character to deal with.  ^__________^

I said those 3 new Mac-tans were 'unreleased' (note the usage of quotes) because those OSes were released to the public under some different names! These three girls are alter-egos to some existing Mac-tans!

8.7: Okay, so Mac OS 9 was originally version 9 but was going to be renamed Mac OS 8.7 because of OS-9 but that lawsuit got thrown out so Mac OS 9 got to keep its first name

7.7: Was what Mac OS 8 was originally named, but renamed to retire the remaining Apple clones (they were licenced to run up to Mac OS 7)

4.4-tan left you stumped, didn't she? The hint that she's probably not good at counting or likes to play mind tricks on people is because 4.4-tan isn't actually System 5-tan but System 6-tan! Why?

Because the pre-System 6.0.x Mac OSes had some weird-*** version numbers with the System Software and the Mac OS, and the Finder! System Software 6 was originally System 4.4 + Finder 6.1 + Multifinder 1.1. System 4.4 was changed to match the System Software version number. Oddly enough so was the Multifinder although version 1.1 was perfectly logical (In 'System 5', it was version 1.0) 0_0

----

And as for OS-9-tan, I saw that easter egg from Wikipedia and that was a key element to her personality as brave but also very rash. (Someone who blatantly disses Unix-sama like that must be!) And the suggestion of having her look slightly like Sonata just gave some ideas for later! :D And also because OS-9 is used in some TV systems, I had an idea of having her dress like a hotshot TV idol although she still wallows in obscurity to this day!

My next sketch will be a preconcept sketch of her but for now...


Here's a fanart of Lamer Exterminator-tan! :D

Here's a preconcept sketch of OS-9-tan!

OS-9-tan, she's a hotshot TV idol but wallows in obscurity (OS-9 is embedded in some interactive TV sets, is a very obscure OS). She is brave but also very rash and does not think twice before doing something (reference to that easter egg in the OS-9 manual that flat out dissed Unix!). She wants to be like Unix-sama although she hates her at the same time. OS-9-tan has a slight resemblance to Sonata that is intentional because there has been confusion between OS-9 and Mac OS 9. (hehehehe...)

Wai!!!!  ^v^
This is a perfect design for OS-9 -- really does add spice to an OS-tan that would've probably never existed outside these walls!!  ^-^

Cute face:  CHECK!
Cute Sonata-like Hair:  CHECK!
Spunky, rash personality:  CHECK!
Obscure TV idol profession:  CHECK!  [betcha she's like a news anchor from one of those local community channels that no one ever bothers to watch.  ^^;]
Color:  PENDING.  ^.^
Bell Buttoms:  HUH?  0__0

........Though I guess if the shoe fits (she is an old OS, after all).  ^^;

AHA!!!!!!!!!!  OS-9-tan's story gets more interesting by the minute!  ^.^

Lead on, brave Aurora-dono!  ^0^
