Hello all.  ^^
Don't mind the informality of this first post, as I intend to make this the index.  post for subsequent projects.

I'm starting this new thread thanks to a growing interest by Bella-hime and Aurora-hime to complete one of my old "abandoned" drawings (the Ballroom Amiga-Me-tan picture).  I also intend to make my z/OS-sama picture a collaborative effort, so such a project would be at home here; and depending on how this progresses, it may be home to other mini collaborative projects.

Just as a reminder for Bella and Aurora, the SAUCE file for that pic can be found here:

http://ostan-collections.net/downloads.php?view=detail&id=118

My reward still remains:  2 free OS-tan Minis of your choice for each of you if you can complete the image.  That, and of course my undying worship.  ^^

Aurora-san, how do you want to divvy this up? I have two proposals, but I'm open to input.

1) I finish Amiga-san (as in, shading, highlighting, detail), you finish ME-tan. Or vice versa; I'd just rather work on Miggy-sama, I guess
2) One of us does the shading on both characters, the other does the fine detail work

I would hate for us to have to do double the work. We should each know exactly what we have to do.

[Aurora Borealis]

I'll go with the first plan. You work on Amiga-tan, I work on ME-tan. I think that sounds good ;012

[Bella]

Oh and one other thing...what side are you going to shade? I mean, left or right? Because I'm doing the shadows on the left (it'll look off if the shading on ME-tan is opposite of Amiga-tan)

[Aurora Borealis]

I haven't gotten started yet so I will go with what you did. Very well then, shadows to the left!

[Bella]

Okay, sounds like we have everything figured out...

This was about an hours work:



Modifications to the vector sketch include making Amiga-tan's eyes a bit smaller, blurring the shading on her irises, making the whites of the eyes a gray-to-white gradient, removing the black stroke around her eyes, I lowered her mouth a bit, changed the eyebrows and folds above the eyes, and gave her new bangs in the front.

I did shading on her face, body, hair and dress, though I may have to do a bit more highlight work.

[Aurora Borealis]

Very good! ;019

But will you be able to post the updated svg so I can do my part too? (something I forgot to mention in my last post, remembered RIGHT after I finished my reply and quit my browser T__T)

[Raffaele the Amigan]

This was about an hours work:

Ohhhhhhhhhh... ;175

KAWAIIIII! ;214

;215


But move on the left, the curl hair of ME-Tan...

It seems she is making "tickles" with the curl on the face of Amiga-Sama...

;012

[Bella]

Sorry Aurora, let me see if I remember how to post an SVG file...

And I'm glad you like it, Raffaele!

Sorry I can't say much now,... too many things have converged prior to my vacation, and I'm just plain going nuts.  @v@'

But I love what I'm seeing (here and with your other drawings) and loving every bit of it.  Thank you so much for your incredible work as always!!  ^V^

You two better start thinking up your Minis, as clearly I'm gonna draw them with pride.  ^^

Please wait for me reply once things calm down a bit on my end.  ^.^

Cheers,

C-chan

PS:  Oh, and Raffaele-san,... she IS supposed to be tickling Amiga-sama.  I'm not gonna say that at least some minor suggestive "shipping" is entirely absent from the picture.  Maybe not to the extent of Abraxis/Fried Chicken Linux, but it might be there.  ^^;

ACK, ACK, VMS-SAMA ACK....

OMG! We're doing more shipping than Amazon.com on the run-up to Christmas! Abraxis and Fried Chicken Linux-tan! Slackware-tan and any Unix-tan in a three-mile radius! Miggy and Zorro-kun, Me-tan, DragonflyBSD, ReactionGuy and whoever else we can throw in there!

....

And Mac and PC dude, 'course

*squeals with delight*

Thank you so much for the first round of mods to this pic, Bella-san.  ^.^
How do you want your worship?  Regular, Spicy, or Extra Crispy?  ^v^

Modifications to the vector sketch include making Amiga-tan's eyes a bit smaller,

Definitely a priority, since she was a bit bug-eyed originally.  Thank ye.  ^__^

blurring the shading on her irises, making the whites of the eyes a gray-to-white gradient, removing the black stroke around her eyes,

Or basically, just modernizing her eyes -- the black strokes especially are antiquated compared to the much finer drawing methods we employ today.  ^.^

I wish I could post up the original Amiga-sama or C64-Amiga for similar modernization, but those two are hybrid pics (half done in Photoshop and Inkscape) so it's not possible to do an all-out source release unless I reverse-engineer the raster portions (in which case, it's probably easier if I revise my work myself).  ^v^;

I lowered her mouth a bit,

For the more adult look -- good.  ^.^

changed the eyebrows and folds above the eyes

For sexiness accentuation -- good.  ^__^

and gave her new bangs in the front.

Notwithstanding your RL opinions about bangs -- good.  ^v^'

I did shading on her face, body, hair and dress, though I may have to do a bit more highlight work.

Her Gala dress was definitely one of the most neglected aspects of her dress, especially since I could use the excuse that ME-tan covered well over half of it.  Thank you very much -- I have full confidence in your superior fashion skills. ^__^

Aurora-hime, I also look forward to your work on ME-chan.  ^^
I'm guessing you're both taking turns rather than working concurrently on each other's parts -- nonetheless, if I can finish the Amigoid picture today/tomorrow, I'd love to pitch in and issue an updated flower "bouquet".  It's tucked away at the top where it disturbs no one's work -- and besides that, it's something that definitely needs updating, since I drew the original more as a concept than an actual finished product.  ^___^

Then there's the matter of the background, although at the moment I'm not sure what it'll be.  My original idea was to create a stylized pink background with sparkles and flowing things (not unlike a dream sequence), but given this is an SVG it can be practically anything we want.  ^^

*suspicious cough*

ACK, ACK, VMS-SAMA ACK....

And I can make #2 FreeVMS-chan, no?  ^___^

OMG! We're doing more shipping than Amazon.com on the run-up to Christmas! Abraxis and Fried Chicken Linux-tan! Slackware-tan and any Unix-tan in a three-mile radius! Miggy and Zorro-kun, Me-tan, DragonflyBSD, ReactionGuy and whoever else we can throw in there!

With Miggy-chan there's a HUGE list of would-be fanbois and "fangois" -- unlike TOS-chan, she is still very much sought after.  ^^

Don't forget the old classics: Hacchan+[censored], Homeko+[censored], CE-tan+[censored], Sonata-sama+[censored], and so and so forth.  ^^;

Can I have sweet 'n sour worship, or is that just stupid?

I know the Amiga-sama pic was done in Manga Studio/PS, right? As for Miggy and C64, I always supposed that was mostly done in Inkscape...

I was thinking about working on the bouquet, but I didn't know where to start...

I hadn't thought about the background...

And I can make #2 FreeVMS-chan, no? ^___^

I've yet to decide

Would that be...Homeo, Homeo, Homeo, OS X-kun? XD

[Aurora Borealis]

ME-tan + Amiga-tan, revision 2:



The most notable differences are the addition of shading and the redone braids. I tried to make the braids more realistic but after more than an hour of trying and stuggling, I settled on something simpler

I hate you.
