More OS-tan / computer-tan sillies! (IDs in alt text)

#os-tan #gijinka #personification #computeroc
Clockwise from top left: SAGE-tan reuniting with a number of her lost friends/family. She sits circled around a table with Apple ///-tan, Multics-tan, Whirlwind-tan, CTSS-tan and GENIAC-tan. They all look happy, with Multics-tan kissing SAGE-tan on the cheek and Whirlwind-tan embracing her. Above, text reads "never kill yourself". SAGE-tan recreating the "I am no longer mentally ill" meme. SAGE-tan and Whirlwind-tan embracing. SAGE-tan provoking Unix-tan into hitting her over the head with her staff. IAS-tan, ORDVAC-tan and WWMCCS-tan in the "brothers" meme. They introduce themselves, the lower text reading "The DMV siblings". "Go, do a crime" with Whirlwind-tan passing her lightgun onto young SAGE-tan. PDP-1 and FASTRAND-kun teaming up to annoy SAGE-tan. Finally she can't take it anymore and throws him through a wall, surprising IBM 728-kun. SAGE-tan in a number of Neil Breen movie parody sketches, featuring FASTRAND-kun in the "is it really possible for a ___ boy and a ___ girl to be in a relationship" meme. It reads "is it really possible for an IBM computer and a univac drum drive to be in a relationship"

Marylanders~ :3

Just an excuse to draw the ballistics research lab ladies at the shore. (IDs in alt text)

#os-tan #gijinka #computeroc #personification
Text reading "Greetings from Maryland" over a page of color sketches personifying various MD computer systems. From top left, clockwise: EDVAC-tan, depicted as a woman with medium skintone, in a black bikini and sunhat, lounging on the beach. ENIAC-tan (who looks similar to EDVAC-tan, but with a red two piece bathing suit and wider brimmed, veiled hat) and EDVAC-tan talking with each other. EDVAC-tan looking mischievous as she buries a sleeping ORDVAC-tan in sand. ORDVAC-tan wakes and yells at EDVAC, but she's already gone. ORDVAC-tan, depicted as a pale skinned woman with orange hair, in a Maryland flag print bikini and various bandages. NAREC-tan, depicted as a pale woman with blue hair, a yellow swimsuit and bucket full of blue crabs, walks with SEAC-tan, depicted as a tanned woman with graying black hair, a white beret, green swimsuit, and cybernetic eye behind glasses. She has a faint green glow. ENIAC-tan cautiously approaches the water as one of her servants holds her power cabling.

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.
Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like.
love you all 🤍

@bloopychips.bsky.social 's EDVAC (original pic in comments)

I am enchanted by this tragic computer!

A paint-over of a character against a grainy, black & white vintage photo. Depicted as a young man with light skin tone, round glasses, and dark hair streaked with white, the personification of EDVAC peeks out from behind an open panel in the EDVAC computer.

Some more early generation computer personifications: EDVAC, EDSAC, and Manchester Baby/Mark I (rolled into one personification).

Design notes on the page, and further description in alt. #os-tan #gijinka #computeroc
The personification of the EDVAC computer, represented as a woman with short, curly silver hair, in a black 1940s-era outfit, with a veiled hat and yellow neck-bow. She carries a variety of leather pouches and a long cigarette. Additional sketches show her appearance in relation to her "mother" ENIAC-tan and half-sister IAS-tan, and her wearing a Women's Army Corp uniform. Personifications of the EDSAC and Manchester Mark I computers. EDSAC-tan is depicted as a young woman in a red sweater and gray plaid skirt, carrying a wooden box on her back. She has gray and red hair, round red glasses, and green eyes, representing the oscilloscope displays of the computer. She has multicolored ribbons in her hair and slightly frayed clothing, representing the exposed wiring of the machine. Manchester Mark I-tan is a tall woman with white hair, a labcoat-like dress, a red scarf and shoes. Her eyes are black with a grid of glowing green dots, representing the visualization of the Williams Tube memory used by the computer. Another sketch shows her younger self, the Manchester Baby, a girl in an oversized labcoat, braids, and a gray and pink blouse and skirt.

ENIAC-tan concept and finished design. I'm happy that I finally settled on a personification I like a decade and half after my first try. #os-tan #gijinka #computeroc

Additional character info: www.tumblr.com/multician/78...
The personification of the ENIAC computer, depicted as a woman in a veiled hat, rolled hair, and long dark robes. Additional sketches depict her as having a jointed doll-style body. A description reads: JOINTED DOLL BODY -Swapping/rewiring Parts VISUAL CUES -40's womens wear -Nun habits -Quaker attire LOTS OF BUTTONS/PANELS - EASE OF ACCESS FOR PARTS REPAIR/SWAPPING WEARS VARIETY OF COUNTING DEVICES USUALLY HAS RANGE TABLES WITH HER The personification of the ENIAC computer, depicted in a turn-around as a woman in a veiled hat, rolled hair, and long black robes. Additional sketches show her interacting with her operators, her doll or automaton-like body with a variety of wires and sockets, the Women's Army Corp uniform that she wore on-duty, and a closeup of her face.

First post! My name is Bells & I make personifications of historic computers, esp. 1940s - 70s. Been at this for awhile (~15 years) now and I'm resigned to this being my life.

A throwback with an old piece of mine (2015) and a new piece (2025). Descriptions in alt. #os-tan #gijinka #computeroc
A group of women sit in a conversation pit. They are the anthropomorphic representations of Michigan Terminal System (depicted as a heavyset blonde woman in a red dress), IBM System/360 (dark haired woman in a blue shirt and skirt), DOS/ES (a soviet clone of IBM DOS/360, depicted as a gray haired woman in overalls and a red bandana) and OS/ES (a soviet clone of OS/360, depicted as a dark haired woman in a yellow dress). The room is done up in 1970s style, with orange wallpaper, yellow shag carpet and a blue beaded curtain. In the background hangs an old family portrait and an IBM-style text terminal. The women are eating candies, talking and listening to music on a record player. Anthropomorphic depictions of the IAS Machine and Whirlwind I computers. IAS-tan is depicted as a white haired, heavyset woman in a gray suit, green hat and green plaid overcoat hung over her shoulder. Whirlwind-tan is depicted as a thin, black haired, bespectacled woman in white and checkered print dress. They are depicted in a flat, cartoonish midcentury art style. The background is light yellow and has stylized depictions of Williams tubes and vacuum tubes.
