[07/07/19] Kami-Tux's drawings [Newest OS-tan: Comic 5]

[Tsubashi]

What happen?
I don't see.

Did you try the link again? It worked for me, now.

@Kami-Tux:

Bravo-desu!!! You just get better and better! especially good work with the folds in the cloth!

[Kami-Tux]

Thank you! *blushes under his feathers*

[Laevatein]

She looks quite motherly, especially with nicely designed yukata ^^  ;010

[Kami-Tux]

Yeah... she represents the long tradition of BeOS (even though not the OS itself), which started in the good old pentium 1-days. So I wanted to give her a certain grace and  maturity.

[Kami-Tux]

May I present: Solaris-tan!

I used Aurora Borealis's design but made the colors more CDE-ish (yes, Solaris can use other GUIs as well, but I thought the typical CDE-colors would be recognizable)

Sorry, wasn't around to see Haiku-tan.  Uber Kudos for the geisha-esque look, and yes she looks quite fair and mature.  ^^

Solaris-tan is a waitress I see serving Java -- and like I told Aurora, she reminds me WAY too much of Luna Inverse.  Uber-Powerful sorceress type working in a coffee shop, so stay off the lewd remarks when ordering your mocha.  ^^'

Since I'm approaching this with a clear Anime bias, I'd say your eyes are drawn very nicely and with considerable improvement,... -.-

[Kami-Tux]

Thank you. I am trying to use the parts of anime, with which I feel comfortable with.

At least the colors now have some form of meaning: the lilac is the background of every Solaris, I have seen so far, most likely default, the red is the color of titlebars and highlights in CDE and the grey is the coor of menues or the window background.

[Kami-Tux]

Eventually a new -tan:



I think it is clear whom I drew here isn't it? :>

[Aurora Borealis]

Nice job with the Solaris-tan! Ehehehe... Solaris-tan's resemblance to Luna Inverse is purely coincedental! ^^;

*looks at new OS-tan, answers in the form of a Jeopardy question*

Who is "Red Flag-tan"?

[Kami-Tux]

Right, she is Red-Flag-Linux, a Chinese distro based on RedHat-Linux (just in case you only saw that on the thread-title).

[C-Chan]

Aha!  There she be!  ^___^
And I was just wondering about her in fact, since it seemed like quite a while since we were all discussing her preconcept.  ^.^
To think she could end up being one of the most influential OSes in the world.  ^___^

BTW, did you draw the flag using the freehand pen tool?

[Kami-Tux]

No, I drew a rectangle, rotated it, turned it into a path, added nodes on the upper and lower side, created a wave-movement and then set a color gradient. I can send you the svg. I will not upload it publically until May however (sell in may and go away, you know? )

[C-Chan]

Well, I think i sort of drew it the way you said it, but please check to see if that's how it was done.  ^__^

[Kami-Tux]

I had twice as many points for the waves. Both for the extrema and for the turning points. Also, I did not see a gradient of color there. Might be my version of inkscape however...

I would add a flag myself but it seems not to accept my tarballs.

[C-Chan]

Oh right, didn't care much for the gradient, just the shape.  You know the sucker I am for efficiency, so the less nodes used the better (certainly memory-wise) .  ^v^
