I didn't know that the GameGear and Lynx were around for that long!

Obviously, that picture is from before the consoles were released. As like in, before they got into "working career".
Lynx is only 5 months younger than the GameBoy that was released in early 1989, and Gamegear was released in late 1990.

QuoteI seriously dont think a pocketwatch would make a good improvised weapon, especially if you dont want a yellin from the watchmaker you send it for repairs.

Weird really, that that's the first place peoples' minds go. Does everyone here have some repressed violent tendencies?

QuoteThe way they were markettin it in the US, GameGear was the console of the "cool kids".

Yeah, I remember that, and that always seemed to be Sega of America's shtick. I remember the Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast being marketed the same way - forget Sega CD, I don't even think they bothered to advertise it, at least not on the same scale as the others. Still, as a kid, I actually bought in to all of that hype, but it's funny how a trip to a retro game store can make you realize how silly that was.

QuoteThat slogan could only mean that the GG-tan should be toughter than steel... or something. So I made her be a Yakuza-like motorbike gang leader. She would be that at nighttime. Gotta figure out what she would be like on daytime.
Bike gang name would be AzureHedgehogs, for obvious reasons.

I was really looking forward to seeing you design a GG-tan, and now that I see it, I'm not disappointed - I'm really digging the whole gang vibe.

Now in monochromatic form!

Good thing that the GG-tan design wasn't a dissapointment. The idea was bit spontaneous though...

Well, she does look "Sega" all the way... Boy, if Williams (friend of mine) consoles turned into tans, his Megadrive would look exactly like GG-tan... Because he now mostly uses his Whee and NES 8bit...

Lynx back in the days, in her combat dress.

Smokey · March 28, 2009, 07:11:14 PM

Cool, never saw her in technicolor before... ;010

Not? http://ostan-collections.net/post-58301.html#58301

Oh, right...Forgot all about it due to all the B&W drawings... ^_^

This Lynx looks nicer though... ^_^

I think Smokey's been hitting the sauce a little too hard. In a competition with svx are we?

Smokey · March 28, 2009, 07:35:01 PM

Heh, no I don't drink often and while i do drink alot when i drink, that doesn't neccesarily affect my memory, it's just the lot of different things i have been concentratin on lately...

IanDanKilmaster · March 28, 2009, 07:49:10 PM

Meh, IRL my memory's not all that good either, but that's usually due to my general state of unattentiveness/lethargy.

On topic, I lieks Lynx-tan's battle wear, but I needs moar Game Gear-tan! My childhood is calling to me! Seriously though, I really like the side ribbons and the Atari logo is a great touch (I'm sorry my praises are so generic, but I really don't know where to start).

VonDaab · March 28, 2009, 07:57:19 PM

Heh, no problem. Any feedback is nice to read.
Moar GG-tan? Sure, but I'm sleepy now, so GG will have to wait for later.

NejinOniwa · March 28, 2009, 08:25:44 PM

Must say...fancy thar.

VonDaab · March 29, 2009, 05:42:00 AM

Eh, I will try GG next, I promise.
Lynx II just had to be drawn first.

EDIT: Will this suffice?
