80's Style Takara Miyuki
Rounding out my series of Lucky Star characters drawn in an 80's style, it's Miyuki Takara. Konata asked her to bring over a diskette to copy some game files, and Miyuki is having a look at it. Hard to believe something so small can hold 360,000 bytes- you could store a book on there! Of course, Konata wants to fill it with games.
Here are the other Lucky Star characters I've drawn in that 80's style:
Hiiragi Tsukasa:
Tsukasa
Hiiragi Kagami:
Kagami
Izumi Konata
The connecting theme I wanted in these pictures was not just the girls, but also the tech. Each girl has some tech that has changed in major ways, but remains part of our everyday lives (game consoles, portable sound systems, cell phones, and computer networking- in this case, Miyuki is using "Sneakernet").
I have some other projects to work on for now, but I had fun drawing modern characters in an 80's style. I'll have to do some more when I can.
Drawn in OpenCanvas. I used my Figma Haruhi to help with the pose, and I checked out a bunch of 80's model sheets and colored pieces to get the feel right.
Lovely work. ^^
Thanks!
nice art,familliar all in macross art...i see all your art eh...a SRW fanatic eh..
I like SRW, but I wouldn't call myself a fanatic- after all, I only have the translated games.
The long school girl skirt is proof that it is in the 80's
I remember the old Diskete back in the days . Now we have discs , thumbdrives and SD cards to store our stuff .
Ah yes.. diskettes with a whopping High density 1.44MB of storage!! save and run Wordstar from your Drive A: or B:!!!
Ah... good ol' Wordstar... I still remember when I first saw a hard drive. "40 MEGS?! This thing can store 40 MEGS?! WOW!"
Better yet, we have networks to instantly transmit stuff- no more waiting for the bus with a box of diskettes!
I'm gonna miss these from you, they were wonderful and something to look forward to. Such a unique idea and it got very good reception too <3 Hope to see more of you soon!
Thank-you for your kind words! I had fun putting them together, but I need to take a bit of a break from it and work on other projects. I'll be back when I get some more good ideas together, and do some more research.
5.35" floppy's FTW!!
Now you need to finish up with Kuroi Sensei
This is a truely lovely piece. Well done.
Thanks!
Great work. I hope you're planning on continuing this with characters from other series!
Thank-you! I have some ideas floating around, so hopefully I can get onto them soon.
Ditto what koganinjastyle said.
Lovely work, but her knees look a little bit strange.
In the end it's still a magnificent job.
Thanks!
Heheh nice. Was she as challenging as you say she was? It's a great connection with the tech as well. I remember playing something off of a disk like that back then XD
Thank-you! It took me a while to figure out what her character was, but once I grasped it, I was able to figure out how she should look in 80's style.
I really enjoyed these 80's style pics. You are very talented to be able to transfer them to the era so flawlessly. My favorites were Konata and Kagami. Nice work!
Thanks! I had fun with this, so I do want to make more- but first, I have some other things to finish up.
Those characters look better than the ones used in the real Lucky Star.
I remember the 80's. It was such a wild thing to move from tape to disks and you could have so much on that thin thing. The best part was that you didn't have to rewind and saving stuff was MUCH easier. Mainly games went from arcade to something where you actually could save. It was also noteworthy faster. The disks cost a fortune though so I only have like 30, but I still have all of them ^^
I didn't consider moving to 3.5" a big move. Sure I didn't have to turn the disks anymore, but it wasn't a landslide thing. It was awesome to move to a HD though and then something else happened. Regular people started having computers and I wasn't such a geek anymore. I then coded an application (in pascal) which were meant to keep track of a D&D character, complete with all the stuff you usually wants to record, like available spells and such and then I started to stick out again in the computer world ^^
Thanks- I'm glad you liked it!
When we got our first computer, it had 5.25" drives that read on both sides, so no disk flipping for us- so 3.5" was a really small improvement for me. We also had a 30 megabyte hard-drive, which made things much easier. Of course, I was just a little kid, so my programming was limited to trying and failing to input games from magazines in BASIC.
I have enjoyed all of the pictures but I thinks this is my favorite ;p This is coming from a Konatat and Kagami fan ^^ I can't wait to see more characters ^_^
Thanks! I have some ideas for more, but I have to do some more planning for them, and work on some other stuff first.
good job!!
Thanks!

Miyuki makes me move in nosebleed!
