ENIAC-heika for ENIAC 80th Birthday~~

Full description & notes on references in alt text.

#os-tan #gijinka #personification

Personification of the ENIAC computer. She is represented as a medium-skintone doll or automaton-like woman with red eyes, black rolled hair, a veiled black hat, black gown with white trim, laying on a checkerboard tile floor. She lifts the veil revealing her face. Wires run from her arms, forming into branch-like structures behind her, "leafed" with vacuum tubes glowing soft pink. This represents ENIAC's place as the root in the "family tree" of computers.

Radiating around her are artillery firing table papers, playing cards and 90mm shells, representing ENIAC's role in artillery calculations for the M1 cannon, and its role in the development of the Monte Carlo method.

Closeup of ENIAC-tan's face cropped from the previous picture. She has a pleasant, knowing expression.

ENYAC~

Pre-gaming ENIAC's 80th anniversary with something silly I've wanted to draw for a bit. Instead of the cable plugging into her back it's a tail. :3

(I'll be back on the 15th with a full art piece for the anniversary proper!)

#os-tan #gijinka #personification #computeroc

A chibi personification of the ENIAC computer. She is depicted as a woman with black hair, medium skintone and red eyes wearing a long black dress with white accents. She's depicted here with cat ears and a tail that ends with an archaic-looking computer plug. Her hands form a heart shape with a pink heart in the middle. The background is pink and features stylized vacuum tube pattern.
