Me-tan wishes you a MErry Christmas. Also, please accept her gift :) #os-tan
ME-tan wearing a christmas hat while carrying a sack of gifts and waving at you. Drawing has a simple snowy backdrop and to the upper left there's a warning icon sign that is also wearing a christmas hat. Even warnings feel jolly this time. A jolly ME-tan gifting you a wrapped copy of the Windows ME installation disc.

Happy 2026, from computers & OSes with significant anniversaries this year!

ENIAC: 80 years old
Bendix G-15: 70 y.o.
DOS/360 & OS/360: 60 y.o.
Cray 1: 50 y.o.

And Multics (60 y.o. as of 2025) as Father Time(sharing), ushering out the old year. . .

#os-tan #gijinka #personification #computeroc
A sketch page with various computer & OS personifications in New Years Eve attire. From left to right: Multics-tan, depicted as a light skinned woman with long purple hair, a white toga, scythe and hourglass, with "goodbye 2025", invoking the image of "father time". DOS/360 and OS/360, two top-heavy, pale skinned women with gray and black hair in midcentury blue and red dresses respectively, on the arms of ENIAC-tan, a medium-skintone woman with black curly hair, gold "26" sunglasses, and a black tuxedo-style dress. Bendix G-15, a short pale skinned woman with black and gray hair, gray dog ears and tail, excitedly stands on her toes while embracing Cray 1, a very tall, pale skinned woman with blue hair and a multicolor dress. As the clock hits midnight, she kisses Bendix G-15 on the cheek. DOS/360, OS/360, ENIAC, G-15 and Cray 1 have sashes with the year of their "birth": 1966, 1946, 1956 and 1976 respectively.

OpenVMS-tan movement sketches based on studies of two-handed sword positions and general action poses. #os-tan #gijinka #personification
A page of sketches, colored in watercolor style, depicting the personification of the OpenVMS operating system. She is depicted as a toned, light-skinned woman with a long blue ponytail and long gray bangs on either side of her face. She has purple eyes. She is depicted in a variety of poses with her sword, which looks like a long, sawtooth-edged cleaver.

A page of SAGE for the 18th anniversary of SAGE-tan (11/21/07)
The original (left) & 2 early designs (second from left, top & bottom) as well as a bunch of different SAGE flavors from my & spouse's art/stories. #os-tan #gijinka #personification #computeroc
The personification of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment, depicted as a pale skinned woman with brown hair, in a variety of poses & outfits. At left, SAGE in fantastical, military-inspired regalia, eyes covered with a blindfold, commanding her fleet of interceptor aircraft while she carries a nuclear rocket launcher on her shoulder. Clockwise: SAGE depicted as a younger woman in a blue suit, green patterned beret, red glasses, her hair worn long. - As a yandere, depicted in a splattered, undone uniform, a dagger in her hand, running, her expression maniacal. - In winter attire including a Bruins beanie, jacket, sweater, MIT color scarf and boots. She's holding a coffee. - In a 50s style red & white checker dress and beehive hairdo, looking embarrassed. - In a flight suit in front of her F-106 interceptor, looking happy. - In the DHARMA Initiative jumpsuit from LOST, crouching with a radio. - In a fancy aviator-style coat, holding a sword.

Whirlwind wishes you the happiest of holiday seasons!

But you better be good! Unless you want one of her failed electrostatic memory tubes in your stocking...

#os-tan #gijinka #personification
A card in a flat, mid-century cartoonish style reads "Happy Holidays from our memory address to yours". Wreathed in pine boughs and paper tape ribbons stands the anthropomorphic depiction of the Whirlwind computer, presented as a light skinned, black haired woman in horn rim spectacles, a red dress with fluffy white trim, and a santa hat. Behind her rests a variety of wrapped boxes and gifts, including SAGE in ragdoll form, a toy F-94 Starfire, a ragdoll of PDP-1, a plushie beaver, and a lightgun. A card in flat, mid-century cartoonish style. At the top left, the anthropomorphic depiction of the Whirlwind computer is dressed in a santa hat and festive gown. Smiling, she holds a plane of core memory in one hand, and a gift sack in the other. Text reads "Good boys & girls get core memory!" In the opposite corner, Whirlwind holds an MIT electrostatic memory tube, a devious look on her face as she holds it above a christmas stocking. Text reads "Naughty children will find a tube in their stocking"

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')
comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making out comparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy background comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face

Another old thing (2014) featuring a bunch of my (then partner, now) spouse's Control Data Corporation OS personifications. And special guests. IDs in the alt-text.

#os-tan #personification #computeroc #gijinka
From left to right: VSOS-tan (SCOPE and LTSS-tan's oldest daughter, depicted as a young, light skinned woman with short brown hair in a yellow two-piece. She's standing in the pool.) SCOPE-tan (matriarch of the CDC family. depicted as a mature woman with long, curly, multicolored hair and patchwork, sewn-together skin. She wears sunglasses and a red bikini. She's dangling her legs into the pool. She's toasting LTSS-tan with a drink. VSOS-tan holds onto her.) eOS-tan (SCOPE and LTSS-tan's younger daughter, depicted as a girl in a pink blouse and brown shorts. She has curly hair like SCOPE, light skin and glasses. She's sitting by the pool eating an ice cream cone.) LTSS-tan (mad scientist and friends-with-experiments to SCOPE, depicted as a mature woman in a blue dress & sunhat. She has light skin and brown hair. She's lounging and toasting SCOPE-tan with a drink.) NLTSS-tan & CrTSS-tan (LTSS-tan's children. NLTSS-tan has a similar color scheme to LTSS-tan and lounges against her, while CrTSS-tan, who has blue hair and a labcoat, eats a sandwich.) And in the background, KRONOS-kun (depicted as a thin, pale man with light hair) picnics with MTS-tan (a fat blonde woman in a pink sundress). Elsewhere, CDC NOS-tan (a girl in a purple dress and sunhat) is tormented by Cray 1-tan's (a heavyset woman who's producing snowfall from her hands) powers.

for some reason back in 2017, I decided to make a website to make fake video game screenshots. This was a good idea and made a lot of people laugh.

Here's to the Death Generator, eight years and 270ish games later!

deathgenerator.com
A screenshot of a twitter post by @foone on October 26th, 2017. She posts "PQ2 death generator is live! make ol' Jim Walls say whatever you want." with a link to the site, and an included image: It's the death dialogbox from the Sierra adventure game Police Quest 2. It shows Jim Walls, a retired police officer, as a portrait on the left. The titlebar says "Jim shakes his head and says..." and there's "Restore", "Restart", "Quit" buttons. The text has been edited to read: "YOU CAN MAKE ME SAY THINGS ANYTHING YOU WANT i miss sierra games :("

Old work (2013). GNU/Linux-tan and Research Unix-tan. #os-tan #gijinka #personification #computeroc
A woman with long hair lit in dramatic blue, green and purple lighting. She wears a futuristic, military-style coat, short skirt, leggings and tall boots. She holds a halberd in one hand and licks of purple energy in the other. She has horns formed from "hard light" in the form of gnu horns, and a blue energy shield. A woman with long hair, owl ears and glasses lit in dramatic blue and orange lighting. She wears a knee length black dress, combat boots, and holds a staff carved with roman numerals, while generating blue flame from the other hand. Orange flames smoulder around her feet.
