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...
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.
Yes, I mean outside of OGA, and I'm planning to do sprites of Xenia/LinuxFox by Alan Mackey, an unofficial Linux mascot. She was created in 1997 and originally released with an informal 'no-holds-barred' type license (you know, the simple 'I'm releasing this to be freely used' phrase and all that) on Mackey's personal website, but re-licensed to CC0 not too long after people rediscovering (and repopularizing) her in the early 2020's.
Was going to do the credits anyway, as I just think it's useful to the user no matter what license it's under. Thanks for answering!
This is adorable! Sometimes I wish that I was on the "developer" end of things rather than the artist end so I could use great assets like these, haha.
Thanks!
WAIT, I forgot to add. They're the size of like, a small-medium sized dog. Think pomeranian.
Oh, great question!

Theres just so many, I can't just pick one, haha.
Aww, that's beautiful. Hope you have a lovely spring.
Hm...the urge to turn this into a cursor skin in Plasma is alluring...but I must resist diving head-first into things I know nothing about.
Great work! I especially love the rainbow ones.

Oh, and nice Cirno pfp, by the way. It's cute.

Ignore the "somewhere next week", made a rougher (but still much more fleshed out) version that only took about an hour or two.
