Hello #Fediverse, today’s OS-tan is Windows 97-tan, a lesser-known OS-tan representing Windows 97 which does not exist as an actual OS (or it was as the first test version for 98, Windows Memphis Developer Release). Often called Nana-chan, she’s depicted as a cheerful little girl with brown hair styled in buns with braids.

There is a gag in the era of Windows 7 of her covering up the Kanji on her forehead except for the '7', trying to pass herself off as Windows 7-tan in hopes of rising from obscurity and gaining more recognition.

Although she represents a version of Windows that never officially released, Windows 97-tan has her own storage facility on older OS-tan image vaults.

Her first appearance remains unknown, but she has been suggested as the personified version of Windows 7 in certain translations

An anime-style character representing Windows 97-tan. She has brown hair styled in two braids. She is wearing a red jacket with a sideways square on her cheat with the colours of the Windows logo, blue shorts, and brown shoes. The Kanji for '97' is on her foreheadAn old post from Futaba Channel. It highlights how according to older Futaba Channel threads, when a character gets popular enough, they receive a dedicated section in image vaults:

The long-awaited Nana-chan storage room is finally complete! The storage facility is proof of popularity, so today is the day Nana-chan is so popular. This is the anniversary that has been proven to the entire universe. Hehe, with this it'll be fine even if the Nana-chan festival happens every day!

Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

This is Saba-tan, the personification of Windows Server 2003! Saba-tan is part fish, part girl and wears an ethernet hub on her head like a bonnet. Her name is a pun on "server" (サーバー, saabaa) and "mackerel" (鯖, saba), which is why she’s depicted as a fishy character.

She started as a one-off character dressed in a mackerel costume but as OS-tans became popular, she got a more defined look and became a regular in OS-tan stories.

Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

This one is of DOS Prompt, a lesser-known who represents MS-DOS! DOS Prompt is portrayed as a shy character often hiding behind things and carrying a keyboard.

DOS Prompt is believed to have first appeared in 2003. Unlike DOS Kitty, DOS Prompt was officially named by her creator, XP-Aki.

DOS Prompt is typically depicted as a schoolgirl with black or dark grey pigtails with hair ties shaped like the "DOS" prompt logo. She wears round glasses, a white button-down blouse with a light blue skirt and suspenders.

Hello #Fediverse, today’s OS-tan, or "OS-tan", is Claudia Madobe (クラウディア・窓辺), the official Japanese mascot for Microsoft Azure!

Claudia made her debut on May 23, 2011 in *Cloud Girl – Windows, Clouds and Blue Sky* (クラウド ガール -窓と雲と碧い空-), a webcomic released by Microsoft Japan to introduce and explain cloud technology. She was designed by Wakaba, the same artist behind Nanami Madobe. Though she is not an OS some people may group her with them anyway.

Claudia is an experienced Windows Azure developer with a master’s degree in engineering and over two years of practical development experience.

She excels in cloud computing and can sometimes come across as a little superior to beginners, but she’s always willing to teach and share her expertise. She often collaborates with her Madobe cousins, Nanami, Yū, and Ai in promotional events and campaigns as well as with her colleague, Ruri Azumi and is voiced by Eri Kitamura.

Hello #Fediverse, today’s OS-tans are two members of the Madobe family: Yū Madobe (窓辺ゆう) and Ai Madobe (窓辺あい), the Windows 8 and 8.1 mascots in Japan!

Yū and Ai debuted in Japan in 2012 as part of the Windows 8 Pro DSP Commemorative Packs created by Windows Navi+. These packs included exclusive system sounds and wallpapers

The sisters share a birthdate of November 18, 1996. Both are the same height at 152 cm, which is 8 cm shorter than Nanami, but their personalities set them apart.

Both sisters struggle with sports but excelled in tech. Their voices were provided by talented actresses Asuka Nishi (Yū) and Nao Tamura (Ai), who even sang together in promotional tracks like *Whatever the Future Holds*.

(2/2) “Same Place, Different Universe” #Webnovel Chapter 9

The other two illustrations for this chapter; I had plans for an #Illustration for the scene at the beginning of the chapter, but I already spent so much time on these ones that I skipped it due to time 😔

Auriga’s outfit in The Defenestrators is based on punk fashion with military elements, but within the context of the setting: the military elements are the pieces of armor. I struggled so much with what team she’d be in.

There were many possibilities that would’ve worked, but I ultimately decided that she returned to The Defenestrators. My decision was influenced by me wanting to balance out the team’s line-up more by having 2 former(?) CC members instead of just one. Story-wise, it’s also to show that this team successfully made amends with at least one of its members that previously left it on not so good terms, but not all of them.

Lorraine’s outfit is based on 80’s glam punk, and Wolfgang’s is based on 18th century menswear. This illustration took the longest because of the lighting effects and I tried my best to get them how I intended when I’m just working with a trackpad so I did those effects in Inkscape as much as I could.

Aside from the backgrounds, these were all #VectorArt! The illustration of Lorraine and Wolfgang has additional color lighting effects which I applied with vectors like this after the shading was finished:
*Select the base path and the shadow path on it
*Duplicate both paths
*Use the Difference Boolean Operation to subtract the duplicated shadow path from the duplicated base path
*Paste the style of the lighting onto the remaining path and set its blend mode to Soft Light
*Lower the shape layer until it’s where it should be

This process is a lot more efficient than what I used to do for color lighting 🥲

In this chapter I didn’t expect to spend so much time writing out how a TV commercial goes, but it was part of introducing these characters. The chapter ends by playing a bit more of the recording that Marcia found, which reveals another surprise…

Title: Will You Be Going to the Carnival?

This is the most ambitious chapter I published! Some of the members of The Defenestrators had cameo appearances in an earlier chapter, or appeared in “To the Visitors…” but didn’t have #Illustrations. At those times I didn’t have finalized designs for some of them.

More of its members appeared in this chapter through a TV commercial announcing their next performance.

When I drafted the outline for this chapter, that scene was just a way to mention that a carnival would be coming up to be the next location of the story, but because these characters only appeared through cameos, I got tempted enough to illustrate scenes that showed each of them. I overcomplicated this again, but I took this as a chance to introduce several characters that I previously struggled with.

During the drafting of the chapter, I made some final decisions on three characters I struggled with and came up with one I wanted to design, but had no previous concept for. I have a lot of notes about this:

📄 synergyeclipse30.neocities.org

I posted these two illustrations side by side to show the similarities and contrasts with Marilyn’s and Arke’s designs since Marilyn is based on OS/2 and Arke is based on one of OS/2's successors (ArcaOS).

When I designed each of the outfits for this chapter, they follow general themes to tie them together but are also based on different styles; Marilyn’s is based on Nerdcore fashion, Priscilla’s is based on a business outfit turned punk, and Arke’s is a futuristic punk style.

The article for this story and a few others were updated on the project wiki, and more updates will be coming with articles for these characters.

“Same Place, Different Universe” #Webnovel Chapter 9 #WIP 2 and 3

This post combines two WIPs featuring two of the characters that’ll appear in this chapter, and a backdrop I probably spent way more time on than needed for an illustration, but I still liked how it turned out 🥲 The second is overdue here; I already posted it on my project site and blog so I’m merging it with the post for the third.

The illustration with her and Wolfgang in their performance outfits shows hers as a silhouette, so hers will be shown after the chapter is published.

Lorraine is one of the characters that I had design ideas for but really struggled to come up with a solid design until something clicked while I was sketching out several possible outfit variants.

One of the issues I got stuck on was where to put the red and white checkered pattern; I wanted to include it but also keep her outfit easy enough to draw to avoid the frustration I faced with designing outfits that were difficult to draw consistently.

The design for her normal outfit is mostly finalized and has what I intended for her. I also wanted to add a bow in her hair or add goggles, but I’m still not sure if I will in her finalized design. The line art hasn’t been adjusted yet.

Wolfgang’s normal design will be shown after the chapter is published. His outfit here is based on 18th century formal menswear fused with punk. I had this general idea for his design in Version 1, but never got to drawing him in this until now.

The 3D render is a stylized city as a stage backdrop; I used BlenderKit models and modeled a few buildings from scratch in Blender. I painted a watercolor effect in the sky and added a posterize filter to make the colors flatter and more abstract in Krita.

Its colors are stylized with a palette of black, blue, orange and white; the buildings appear dark gray with orange windows, and white lights from street lamps against a  blue night sky.

She has blue eyes, has long wavy brick red hair, orange fox ears and tail and is wearing a light red jumpsuit under a blue and white jacket and a blue mini-skirt. She is wearing glassy red earrings. This drawing is unshaded and the line art still needs to be adjusted.

Her hair is mostly down but tied into a small ponytail on her right side. Her jacket is blue with white sleeves, red cuffs, and multicolor lapels; the top lapels have a red and white checkerboard pattern and the bottom are orange. Her skirt is the same shade of blue as her jacket and has a red studded belt. She wears beige boots and gloves; her boots have a blue strap at the top with a red strap below them, and a beige strap at the bottom. In her right hand she is holding a foam baseball bat. On her jacket she has a blue floppy disk pin with a red ribbon and the disk is based on the Amiga Kickstart screen.Lorraine and Wolfgang in side views in opposite directions. Lorraine appears as a silhouette but is shown to have her hair tied in a messy bun and is wearing a gown.

“Same Place, Different Universe” #Webnovel Chapter 9 #WIP 1

I posted this on my site and blog a few days ago but have been so busy 😅

Marilyn’s (OS/2) and Priscilla’s (IBM PC and PC-DOS) first drawn appearances in Operating Superstars Version 3! These are their performance outfits with The Defenestrators, the team they originally co-founded to challenge Defending Waits for Nobody. Although the team didn’t succeed in its original goal, its members still enjoy success through the loyal following of supporters that they have.

Each of the members’ performance outfits follow a general theme of punk and incorporating the team colors (blue, orange and black), but there are differences reflecting each of their styles. I tried to go for a Nerdcore and punk look with Marilyn’s performance outfit. Priscilla’s is modeled after a business suit, and she styled her hair.

Marilyn’s and Priscilla’s Version 2 designs are included here for comparison. I have plans to adjust Marilyn’s regular outfit to take cues from nerdcore and 2000’s fashion; hers will be a bit more modern since she also represents eComStation (OS/2’s first successor; it was actively developed through the 2000’s). Priscilla’s outfit will be the same as before but with a small change or two.

If I’m finalizing Marilyn’s hair being purple now, it’ll also have teal streaks, or maybe it’ll be a gradient since I like both equally. It could also be that she originally had teal hair when she became an OS, but later changed it when she tried to re-invent herself during the OS/2 Warp era. 🤔

This’ll be a very ambitious chapter; The Defenestrators make an appearance on TV in the chapter, and I’ll be making illustrations that feature six of its members in their performance outfits while I also try to finalize their normal outfits for their drawings that’ll be in their articles.

Operating Superstars — Two new #Wiki articles

These are the articles for two characters that were introduced in chapter 5 of “Same Place, Different Universe”. I published these a few days ago. Publishing them was part of the catching up to do cleared another task off of my to-do list for the project, and the list is small enough now that I’m ready to continue the illustrations for chapter 9.

Clarkia (macOS Sierra and High Sierra) is Kiah’s rival within Chariots of Colors; Kiah is her predecessor and their rivalry is inspired by some archetypes that are popular in shounen anime. In particular I’d say that Asta’s and Yuno’s rivalry in Black Clover would be an inspiration. Clarkia is prim and proper, but comically serious and has a sense of humor that’s different from what she usually lets on. *hint* It’s inspired by High Sierra’s announcement in WWDC.

Pearl (iPhone 6/6s line) is the teammate that Kiah works with the most. She is polite and helpful, and skillful at breaking up conflicts. She is an influential fashion designer and interior decorator and started at least one fashion trend within her sector and beyond; this references the rise of Millennial Pink and the popularity of rose gold as a color option for hardware which the iPhone 6s is widely credited for.

Operating Superstars — Two new character #Wiki articles

I’ve been focused the most on “Same Place, Different Universe” lately, but also trying to catch up with writing more articles for characters that appeared in early IWASD chapters but don’t have articles yet.

📄 operatingsuperstars.miraheze.o
📄 operatingsuperstars.miraheze.o

Gerald (General Comprehensive Operating System) and Multiplicia “Multi” (Multics) were introduced in chapter 1, though Multi was only mentioned and made her first real appearance in chapter 11. I published the first versions of their articles a few days ago but was so busy that I couldn’t publish the announcement on my project site and blog the same day, let alone also publish this announcement here on the same day.

Their articles depict a bit about the complicated relationship that they had as colleagues in Great Iron Smithing Crew. They were two of the most well-known OSes on the team, and I intend for them to be the “jerk with a heart of gold” types though in different ways. Multi’s overworld “sprite” is of her appearance as of when she was part of GISC.

The dynamics between them are meant to be kind of tragic; their rivalry may not have been what it was if Gerald didn’t feel like he always had to keep up with Multi, but he hated being seen as unremarkable and unable to adapt; when Multi helped him, he was thankful for that, but might’ve also on some level seen that as being pitied which he also hates.

Part of Multi’s characterization about her over ambitiousness and tendencies towards complex solutions but valuing that other OSes can come up with simpler solutions is inspired by my own tendencies 🥲

I wrote more commentary to go with this update. It'll be published as a follow-up post.

(1/3) “Same Place, Different Universe” #Webnovel Chapter 7

📄 synergyeclipse30.neocities.org

Title: ...More to Shudder About, But Our Curiosity is Going to Compel Us to Keep Going

The listening of the recording from the previous chapter continues. It takes a turn for the serious for what the recordings mention, and the disagreements between the two characters listening to them.

In the recordings, I intended to portray the character that made them as a very conflicted person that struggles with her loyalty to POMME vs. her discontent that led her to nearly leave vs. her resentment towards Concordia vs. wanting her approval. Concordia is supposed to be a divisive character through how she’s been mentioned. I’d like to get to a chapter where she appears, and there might be a chance for that.

I usually try to avoid mood whiplash within the same chapter, but it happened when I added the silly scene with Mi-ho and Clarkia. That scene was meant to lighten tone a bit so it wasn't all serious, and I like having chances to feature more characters in a chapter if only one or two are the focus.

In the illustration of Marcia looking at a holographic screen, I would’ve liked to add legible easter eggs on the documents, but it was too difficult when her notes are supposed to be hand-written and I’m mostly using the trackpad 😔

The background and the holographic screen were made in #Blender3D, though I added the scan lines, scribbles and a lighting effect were made in #Inkscape along with the character drawings

She has a serious expression. Next to her, Mi-ho appears in a chibi form, confidently posing with one pointer finger up in the air and with a mischievous and playful expression. The caption, said by Clarkia reads "Messes don't take a break, nor work around our schedules" at the top and below it reads "It's hard to argue against that! Give me some cleaning supplies, and we can take on those messes with style together!" which is said by Mi-ho.
