Description
SAGE-tan and her mother, Whirlwind-hime, circa the mid-1950s. This picture is an homage to/parody of [link] , but honestly, I like this one better... I guess that can be expected, I've improved a lot in the last three years.The background image is a picture of Lexington Common/the Battle Green. Of course, referencing the fact that SAGE and Whirlwind (to an extent) were built at Lincoln Labs in Lexington, Massachusetts.
Pencil lineart, coloring in PS CS4, background image taken by me.
Semi-Automatic Ground Environment "SAGE"-tan and Whirlwind-tan both belong to

Man and you have OS-tans built around 1960s computers? Nuts
It's like the parody vocaloid I wanted to make based on a 1970s vocoder
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, when we ran out of 1990s/80s/70s computers to personify, we moved onto systems from the 1960s/50s/40s. If you can name an old computer system or OS we've probably made an OS-tan of it ... or at least considered making one at some point.
Ooh, I'd love to see a vintage vocoder-tan. You should do it!

There's no abacus-tan (yet?) but we've come close... I recall a friend of mine wanting to make a personification for the Antikythera Mechanism.

Very well done. I don't like how much the focal pops out from the background though and how dull it is (the background)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah? And I was worried that the background might be a bit too bright/distracting...
