i have found the mythical creature C:\!!
the pic is so PRETTY. *__* it looks like it took you awhile. the premise is awesome (lol) and the overall quality is just lovely. ofc, with your history on osc, that should be obvious. xD
i wish i could have properly met you. but you left osc before my time~~~ ;^;
LOL, when did I become mythical? And also a Windows drive letter?
Well it's nice to know that my old works still have a few followers left, even many years later.... I was both admired and scorned in my day, so I'd be interested to know exactly how they describe my time there in OSC. Hopefully they paint me as a teacher, which is what I always tried to be. ¯v¯
In any event, thank you very much for your feedback. ^^
Indeed, I actually only completed the OSR 2.5 portion in OSC,... I added OSR 2.1 a few years later once I immigrated here to Deviantart. By that time I already had some practice doing fancy neon lighting effects, so I could add them to enhance the image considerably. ^^
It is still a vector graphic done in Inkscape, though, so comparatively-speaking it didn't take a long time to do at all.
Probably WOULD take a long time now, since I'm both rusty and lost my drawing inspiration. Not that it would needed anyway, since the pony fandom already has a wealth of great artists -- hence my teaching duties are no longer necessary in this brave new world. ^^
That's why I've retired to my old piñata art from LONG before my OSC days, and I guess that's how you find me today.
Regardless, pleased to meet you. ^^
C'mon, C-quel, don't be so shy-- come over to meh userpage and gimme a smack if I miss something as epic as this again. ><;
I love them both... but there's something about OSR 2.1-tan that I love the most. Is it her outfit and wonderful accessories? Her perfectly rendered and awesome-looking bow and arrow? Or maybe it's her confident and fierce stance. Something about her is just so formidable and graceful looking.
I should also note that the lighting is amazing-- I love the neon lettering and how it cast such dramatic lighting on the characters.
Please make sure I never miss pure win like this again, C-quel.
On the other hand, guess it wasn't hard at all to bury it in a shower of Wall O' Texts'.
Oh and can't do that,.. the Humility Law dictates that ALL my artwork is CRAP until proven otherwise by a colleague. So the level of Epicness lies purely and squarely on thy shoulders. ^^
Admittedly, OSR 2.1-sama does have newer lighting effects going for her so that leaves the original OSR 2.5-sama at a disadvantage. Plus the fact that OSR 2.1-sama was created by our genius resident OS-tan designer Katt-chama also explains why she might clearly be the lovable of the two. ^^
Either way, I definitely wanted to emphasize a confident but calm grace about her. Whereas her younger sister is a hotblooded troublemaker and her older sister a serene closet-psychopath, 2.1-sama is a friendlier and more approachable individual who values internal strength and self-discipline without the need to flaunt it to the rest of the world.
Ironically, she also prefers to live alone and make her living as an eccentric steam-geek. So it's hard to say whether her calm and calculating air is Zen-related,... or whether she's just chronically deep in thought about some new contraption and so instinctively tunes out the rest of the world.
I've grown to love using neon lights a lot, especially since they're fairly easy to craft in Inkscape. Basically involves only three Stroke shapes and some Color Theory. ^.^
And don't worry,... as long as you check my Journal updates, you shan't miss a thing. ^___^
...
But you could check the Mini Forums more often, though.... ^___~
The OSR 2.x sisters would make a good team of obscure-yet-really-cool Windows-tans!
Heheheh... Also to 95-tan's chagrin, both of the OSR 2.x sisters are friendly or civil towards the Mac-tans too!
And speaking of the fact that the OSR 2.x-tans have interacted with the Vintage-tans, I wonder if they (and Windows 3.2-tan, another wanderer) know of Windows 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan!
Hoh,... I thought I finally figured out the way to do it... *sadness* ;__;
But in any event, glad you spotted it and liked it. It took a lot longer than expected, but there's a certain feeling of satisfaction of knowing that such an old picture finally received its long-awaited finishing touch. ^^
Though I honestly didn't intend to add anything to OSR2.1-sama's design,... from your pictures, I could've sworn her hair was at least chest high. @v@'
But at least know you finally saw her retractable bow in action -- figured it'd be something she would build, no? ^^
I think they would make a great team, but only when they're actually together (which we'll say for now is fairly rare). After all, while OSR 2.1-sama can put up a mean fight, even in this day in age, she's too much of a tinkerer to care about much else besides her inventions. ^.^
Didn't include the Mac-tans since I figured they would be cautiously civil towards them (hey, old habits are hard to break... ^.^' ).
It's hard to say that 2.1-sama would've met any of them, given her hermit life, but 2.5-sama for sure must've come across 3.2-tan. And 97-tan... And Odyssey-tan.... And countless virus-tans of course.... etc etc.... That girl's been around.... ^^
But you know what? I never even thought about her meeting 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan, which given her friendship with AtariDOS-tan, it would be impossible for her not to have met them at least once.
I guess this is something we could discuss over tea and biscuits over in the mini forums... Fufu... ^.^
OSR 2.1-tan's hair was originally shoulder-length but I think the long hair suits her better! Yes, her bow looks like something she'd make! It's old-fashioned yet with a hint of modernism!
You're right- old habits are hard to break and considering their similarities to 95-tan, I understand why the Mac-tans would be cautious. However I think that System 3.4-tan would be friends with the OSR 2.x-tans. She has a lot of empathy for them, especially considering that her backstory is very similar to that of OSR 2.5-tan's!
We'll continue this discussion in the DeviantOS-tans mini forums.
Or maybe it's just that I forgot to deselect the "Minor Update" box.... hmmm,... well I guess it wouldn't hurt to try again. See if something pops up. ^^
Yeah, the uber-pigtail Mac girl could probably be close friends with them, since she's a traveler too (and as you said, has a similar backstory). ^___^
And I guess we shall go ahead and craft some more sap after all.... Would be interesting to see OSR 2.5-sama thrust in the middle of some very ugly family politics.... ^^'
Although, that bow is going to shoot down every time, the top is way bigger than the bottom and the string will be uneven
