ay mates lelkins here. i drew this character based on the lemmy foss project. i never posted on lemmy.ml so please excuse me if i posted somewhere wrong. this may be my first and last post in this instance.

wanted to post on foss art since i used kolourpaint for this and it's for a foss project, but i couldn't find it. i instead chose to crosspost it on "lemmy.ml/c/lemmy" instead

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.

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

adorable rodent girl, she kind of reminds me of akita neru. she should get a cell phone too for posting!

thank you!

i thought of "remmy" but i am horrible at puns so she won't have a name akin to the ones that the windows os-tans have. i am not japanese either so i can't do that kinda language humor

I thought of another name, since your other character is meldora why not call her "melly", like "lemmy" but with l and m switched?

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

melly is one of meldora's nicknames. remmy it should be, i guess

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Ah yeah that makes sense

thank you very much dessalines, i didn't expect you to see this. i respect free and open source software and enjoy looking at those projects. lemmy's pretty good and i wanted to make something

hope you have a good day mate

Cute, but she needs a tail!

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

lemmings have small tails, i guess she just hides her tail. also thank you!!
