Kindahornyart - Star-Tan
Added 2020-07-08 22:35:06 +0000 UTC A while ago I had been noodling with the idea of creating a mascot or a spokes-character for my art and my art blog itself. Given the name that I”ve published all my works under I decided to call her “Star-Tan”. Reason for the “Tan” part is a little more involved. It goes back to how various artists had personified certain computer operating systems, giving them names and appearances that match the operating system. There was Windows 3-tan, Windows 7-tan, and even a few for others programs like Linux-tan and OS 9-tan. But the biggest personification came from Zone-Archives with “Zone-tan” who was essentially the spokesgirl for Zone-Archives.
I do admit that on the surface it does look like I’m using a similar tactic but the idea of it seemed too good to pass up. I don’t want to use the word “steal” for the idea because really no one ever has a monopoly on an idea. Plus, if one were to have a spokescharacter for their blog, who would turn it down?
Anyway, the artist KindaHornyArt had opened up some commissions and I had decided to throw this one at them just to see how they would interpret Star-Tan. And this was the result.
My thanks to KindaHornyArt for their work on this.
