ay mates lelkins here. it's been a while since i made a post in general lmfao

i tried to make one of those characters but for the lemmy open source software. please enjoy. i tried incorporating all the four reasons why the platform is named lemmy from the "Why's it called Lemmy?" part of the source code

the rodent for the hair color and partially the color palette, lemmy motorhead for the long hair and jacket, lemmings and koopaling for the pins because i couldn't incorporate those two very well

i am not good at drawing still, please excuse me for any weird stuff. that's the lelkins jank for ya

idk how to name her so you can all decide i guess

I don't have a name but she's very mouse-y and cute

[–] lelkins@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

thank you!

the closest i got is "remmy" but i'd rather hear others' ideas first. she's a lemming

Rodenta
Rodie
Lem <--- I like this one sounds like an actual name
Rem <--- could be alternate spelling, but I don't like it as much because it brings to mind first the Shinigami from victim-of-communism

Lem

She is Polish.

i focused more on the lemming ears since i wanted the character to feel more like the original lemmy logo but here ya go

yay lelkins is back ! is ‘Lemmie’ too simple? rodents are so cool

[–] lelkins@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 3 months ago

i don't think i am fully back, but i started drawing a bit more than usual.

"lemmie" is actually pretty close to what i came up with ("remmy")
