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

You're right, where's Larrygrad? That sounds cool.

it's interesting cuz i was ruminating on this character design and since lemmy is decentralized and really all platforms are just offshoots, i was wondering if i would draw lemmy represented as one big frankensteiny girl... you know...

[–] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

Maybe a big Voltron girl?

i imagine each instance being their own lemmy-tan character. think of them like species of lemming. they all meet each other and share stuff

your idea sounds cool tho

[–] 6kb_@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 4 days ago

thats the other thing i considered... hexbear and lemmygrad as sisters... magic bear and tankie lemmy gijinkas

[–] LeninZedong@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Very adorable! I hope to see more of them on their adventures fighting fascists.

thank you! that's based on lemmy.ml (i mean the lemmy project). yunak-knowles already designed cool hexbear and lemmygrad characters it's in one of the comments here. those characters would definitely kill some of those

personifying lemmy sounds fun and i rlly like ur design for her, the hair looks rlly nice. now i want to

[–] lelkins@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 days ago

thank you! i do like how the hair turned out too lmfao, it was a silly idea for me to just base it off of lemming fur but it turned out well
