Tahrey: Actually if you erase that mouth, you get possibly the best "nose = anime mouth" effect ever. Especially as there's already an ersatz nose thanks to the tiny bit of bridge shading.
Also I'd say most of the manliness comes from that scraggy little Shaggy-like goatee tuft. Lose that and a lot of the masculinity will go with it.
Tahrey: Wet fur contest?
Also, it may even be a dilute solution of C2H6O in H2O, with a small amount of other electrolyte compounds. Then we'd really be in trouble.
Tahrey: ((even though the picture on it is unrevealing (...in this form - scope MTF's tumblr ;-) and very nicely drawn, and thus might otherwise count, in terms of being a pin-up or whatever))
Tahrey: @MikeyTheFox: Yeah, exactly - both of those look fine and any "strangeness" with them is entirely explainable as being due to the pose she's in...
@D_C_N: It's daikamura, a character hug (and sometimes creepy put-a-fleshlight-in-it sexytimes) pillow for your "friendly" neighbourhood hikkikomori. It's never going to be "classy".
Tahrey: You're like about the sixth or seventh person to actually figure it out, weirdly. My dad thought it was something written backwards back when I actually shared non-realname internet handles with IRL people, and he's the one who bought the damn computer...
Also, I haven't tied !realname to it here (it may be guessable, but I'd ask that you don't try, as it's not going to be of interest in any case) so there's that...
You know the hardest thing has actually been trying to come up with some kind of surname to use with it that doesn't sound completely shit?
Anyway...
@MetalC0Mmander: Slight problem there in that the SNES was made by Nintendo, not Atari. And was an early 90s games console not a mid 80s home computer.
*finally gets around to googling after all these years*
Hm, seems there's a couple of unofficial conversions ("Kid Kong" and "Monkey Business") that are reasonably well known, but no official conversion. Such was the fate of a lot of early 80s arcade games, they got conversions to the 8-bit platforms but after the console crash everyone assumed 16-bit computer users wouldn't be interested in owning, much less buying conversions of those older games, so your only recourse was often to quite poor, copyright-flauting public domain or shareware versions. But, hey, anything's better than nothing.
Finally got to replay the A800 version at a retro-tech and chiptune music fest a couple years ago, and it's still a damn good version of the game, even with the limited resolution and so-on. Very playable. Tough as nails but the controls are spot on even though you have to use a squidgy VCS joystick.
Tahrey: It's a pretty good gradient, aye. I'm actually sat here trying to work out if it's been dithered to simulate extended colour depth, or whether I've just lost the ability to spot the already subtle graduations between midtones in 24-bit images...
Tahrey: (weirdest thing is, I found out only a couple years ago - like during the fading part of the arab spring - that it's also a girl's name in arabic...)
Tahrey: (oh aye, and, hence the username, which I've had for a lllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg time now, like the better part of 20 years... don't tell anyone :D)
Tahrey: lol... more my parents' fault, though I did badger them for that brand (...as there was an 800 at school which had Donkey Kong on it ... don't think we ever did get a version of that for the ST).
And hey, you went to the effort of doing it, in a suitable style, and captured it quite well, so chin up.
Tahrey: > I didn't upload it here on the booru for you to pick away at it :V
Public forum with comments enabled, dude. Once it's out there, it's fair game, whether you / I / whoever likes it or not. Same as hanging it in any other gallery, virtual or physical. You want control of criticism, put it on a private site with access controls.
Overly harsh critique obviously should be avoided and discouraged, but where it's fair it can be very useful, so beware the double edged sword of closing yourself off from it.
Tahrey: ...actually, there's no difference in degree of wedgie between this and the original. She's just lost the ponytail and a bunch of construction lines / other little bits that needed cleaning up.
Tahrey: She's lying on her back/front, so gravity isn't having the normal effect. Boobs turn into hershey kiss-like pudding shapes instead of teardrops, and are centred a little higher up the body, in those situations.
As for the tail, the spine kinks outwards towards the horizontal near / after the connection with the pelvis in bipedals, as the legs/hips are still pretty much in the same orientation as in quadripedals, so it has to turn the corner, and the tail (where it exists) sticks "out" a little rather than completely "down". Being in a rump-up position like that, along with the effects of clothing with cutouts, would accentuate this.
Tahrey: Well, the ambient fill-in means you don't have to worry about the local sources so much, but it still would probably be a good idea to have a bit of near-field highlighting from the fire at least.
Tahrey: Nice ... I echo the "face needs more attention paid to lighting", but then, as only one of the sources is yellow, and the others are blue, we shouldn't expect the greatest reflection from those.
Tahrey: I can't criticise anyone for tracing, so long as they don't try and claim something as their own original creation after doing so. It's useful for using something as a base for an altered fanwork, or to uprez something that's pixeled or otherwise low definition using vectors, etc... Done enough of my own before to make better looking images from poor sources, and many other things besides.
Tahrey: I was thinking "school"... like ... municipal juvenile detention centres where children have the tops of their heads opened and raw information poured into their brains.
College is rather later, unless you're in France of course, but they're just weird.
Tahrey: I for one support the idea of Prequel suddenly swapping from being a TES fanwork to a Zootopia one. This one frame is hilarious and good looking enough :D
Also, so many toasty mouse corpses ... there'll be a good buffet in the carnivore breakroom later on.

The mix of sound styles could be interesting ... will they all be one virtual chip, or more like recordings of existing tunes?
