Honestly, I've been fixating on FOSS mascots these past few weeks, I might do more sprite packs based on them, probably starting with Kiki the Cyber Squirrel or Konqi and Katie (As both of these examples are CC BY SA characters, those would be my first OGA works featuring the license). Though...I remember trying to draw Kiki's ears a long while ago, and they're certainly not easy to do, haha.

Apologies for being a blabbermouth, this was just fun to do, so it had me thinking.

Then what are your favorite FOSS mascots?

Oh, great question!

It's hard to pick a favorite, honestly. A lot of them appeal to different areas of my aesthetic ideals. In terms of simplicity, I really love the Lemmy lemming (miles better than whatever that werido from reddit's called). In the "os-tan" sort of category, I like Wikipe-tan and Wiktionary-chan (both unofficial, but beloved). Out of all the Tyson Tan mascots (he's done quite a lot!), I'd have to pick Katie (KDE) or  Azura the Broadcaster Unicorn. I've recentely discovered the japanese mascot for netbeans, nekobeans. That one really scratches my itch for silly little creatures. Larry the cow is pretty good too...

Theres just so many, I can't just pick one, haha.
