Description

It occurred to me that I'd never drawn magic-mode GNU/Linux-tan before, despite open-sourcery being her entire "thing" as an OS-tan. 

It started out as a speed painting and shading/highlighting experiment after talking about lighting physics with Samantha-Wright, but got out of hand (as usual). I picked Linux-tan in part because her design incorporates a variety of materials - metal, leather, opaque and semi-transparent fabric - as well as luminous elements (first introduced by C-quel in this pic). I expanded on that original design, making the forcefield ... halo ... thing larger and putting a three-dimensional take on the gnu horns. I also gave her shoulder armor, because armor always looks badass. 

Originally I planned to have her standing on a crumpled Windows flag, but the color scheme probably would have been too ambiguous here. [sigh]
