Description I actually started this in Oct '09 but kept forgetting about it, but at last, the chibi Mac family lineup!

However, I also included A/UX-tan and Darwin OS-tan, who are honorary Mac House members. A/UX is a certified Unix but identifies as an Apple/Mac-tan since they're the ones she grew up with. Darwin OS identifies as both an Apple-tan and a Unix-tan, and Darwin OS itself is the core of OSX.

If I had been willing to spend even more time on this, I could have also added in NeXTSTEP-tan, or go another step further and add in Apple I, II, ///, Lisa and GS/OS to much more of the extended Apple-tan family. But I feared this would collapse under its own ambition, so if I plan on including them, I will in a separate picture to keep this one manageable.

I did not realize there were so many of them.

There are about as many Mac-tans as there are Windows-tans nowadays (though most of the Macs aren't 'canon' but only 'fanon'), but waaaaay more Unix-tans and Linux-tans!

Do you have any favorites?

I don't know too many of the Mac-tans but of the other OS-tans I like Unix-sama. ^.^

Wow! This is epic ambitious, if I may say so myself!!

Sure it's mostly chibis, but the character count, details and colours are positively mind-boggling!

How long did it take you to do this?

Thanks! There are even a whole bunch of Mac-themed easter eggs throughout the background!

...

Unfortunately, I lost count on how long this took. It must have been at least 8 hours. Having to plot down and tweak (nearly) all those details using just the mouse is incredibly tedious. No wonder why I put this on the backburner several times. Thank goodness I have a tablet now!

It's funny how we all have tablets now. ^^

[well okay, I always had a tablet, but just not a GOOD one, lol]

Quite excellent!

What should be done, though, is to include Snow Leopard somewhere - her sneakiness merits some sort of backdrop hideout kind of presence, I suppose.

Otherwise, good job!

Thank you!

Haven't considered that part, since I had Leopard-tan shown dressed in her Snow Leopard outfit as her present-day self, showing the merging of Leopard and Snow Leopard as the same character, but your suggestion does fit her character really well!

I'll see if I can sneak the blue-haired Snow Leopard-tan in.
