ENIAC-tan & IAS-tan sillies (ft. SAGE, Whirlwind, Fastrand, and a bunch of random IAS machines).

With apologies to tumblr user stealthrockdamage (top left) and Mint Fantôme (bottom left) . . .

(๑﹏๑) How.. how many Vista-tans are there?

(I know there are a few more... I'll get there, eventually)

Also, I took a moment to change the coloring and shading for the others I already posted before for consistency's sake... I think I like it more.

4th Moe Week prompt was to use a restricted palette of blue, green, red, yellow and white, so I HAD to do Madobe Nanami, the best Windows girl 🪟

Haiku OS-tan

Created by me, drawn on paper and then traced and colored in WonderBrush, Haiku's default drawing program :3

hello of all the mainframe men who would be most likely to blame someone else for a minor mistake

He's not quite done but also working on Mark 4

Fuck it, SAGE-tan sketch page dump. (Info in descriptions.)

(Ft. PDP-1-tan, FASTRAND-kun, IBM 728-kun, Whirlwind-tan, Multics-tan, Unix-tan and others.)

General facts: Philadelphian-turned-Marylander     - Created at the Moore School, transported to Aberdeen Proving Ground.

Automaton     - Dual allusion to the simple, modular nature of ENIAC and a hint at something transcendental or supernatural about ENIAC-tan.

Physically constrained by her construction but doesn't view it as a limitation.     Programmers cleverly overcame hardware limitations and used idiosyncrasies to their advantage.

Can control different parts even if they're not articulated together. Limbs can be swapped out.     - Modules operated independently before being linked.

Initially animated by coordinated manipulation of her wires.     - Early programming required manual timekeeping and rewiring

Poor memory in her youth. Improved later on.     - Not stored program, originally

Loves her fathers & uncles, but largely socializes with and prefers the company of women otherwise.     - Women primarily programmed & operated ENIAC

Lived an anchorite-like existence in her youth, walled into her "hermitage", interacted indirectly with all but her creators.     - Security/secrecy prevented early programmers from interacting with the computer.

Eventually debuted, but maintains a "walled garden" philosophy toward computers.     - Proprietary approach toward ENIAC and derivatives.

Expert marksman.     - Used for ordnance & ballistics.

Helped develop the hydrogen bomb, unclear whether she did so knowingly.     - Secretly used for H-bomb calculations.

Badly injured en route her new home.     - Damaged in transport.

An overhaul increased her mobility and independence at the cost of her sheer power.     - Conversion code process made the ENIAC easier to program at the cost of speed.

Relationships: Daughter/heir EDVAC-tan, who has several half-sisters: EDSAC, Manchester Baby/Mark I, and IAS-tan.     - EDVAC made by original ENIAC team. EDSAC, Manchester & IAS all derived from the "First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC", sent to different organizations before completion.

Contemptuous toward IAS-tan, whom she blames both for personal betrayal and profaning computer-kind by releasing them to the wider world.     - Conflict surrounding ENIAC patent rights and attribution of invention of the stored program computer.

Matriarch of the Univac clan.     - Same creative team.

Socialized with more computers after she moved.

Appearance & personality: Doll-like body, exposed sockets & wires, taller than average, medium-olive skintone, black hair styled into curls/rolls, amber-red eyes.

Full length black dress reminiscent of a nun's habit or puritan's robes, many panels fastened with glass buttons allow her servants to maintain and swap out parts.

Veiled wide brimmed hat generally covering her face.

Accessories: pocket-belt, various counting beads, abacii and other calculation devices, artillery charts rolled up and carried on her back.

Prim and proper, regal bearing that comes off as intimidating whether or not she's trying to, has a bit of a well-founded superiority complex as a computer. Gracious and patient with her caretakers. Became more relaxed and sociable with time. Trust issues, does not forget or forgive offenses.

Philosophical about the nature and duty of computers, ruminates frequently on her own purpose and place in the cosmos and that of others.

Status: Died to a lightening strike in 1955.

Rumors abound that her spirit stalks the earth.     - There are a lot of ENIAC emulators.

Elaborate mythology (or is it?) about her haunting the many-times-great-grandchildren of her betrayer. 

15 years after I first sketched a concept for her, I've finally revisited my ENIAC gijinka. Shout-out to a friend for the doll/automaton idea because I think it suits her well.

Details to be added once I write them down.
