Codemonkey is asking for any board to submit it's own tan. Post any ideas u got. Any drawings as well. We have to finish the board tan before Sunday July 30th though. So we only got a few days to agree and draw a good design.

Was thinking we should go for two girls for our board tans obviously. One with guns and the other with a naginata…

It's a very Chikane esque design so I like it. Don't know about the infidelity with Astaroth but we can work that out later.

One thing I was thinking was to take something from every good yuri show. The girl with guns can cover all the beetrain type stuff. The other would cover the more magical end. One thing I am thinking is they should both have long hair. One should be more refined elegant and upper class - Hime type if you will and the one with the guns should be more down to earth but also beautiful.
Try and keep the sort of ShizNat dynamic of them both being dangerous and intelligent in different ways. But also kind and caring in different ways. Make it so they are a match pair and it even works in the kind of clothing and colors they wear.

Wondering how to include a reference to Simoun though in their designs. Maybe we should make them just dress them up in multiple outfits. Like sometimes as Mikos, others as Mahou Shoujo, other times as assassins etc. Be kinda like KnM in that they die and resurrect in multiple time periods only to fall in love again.

Let's just stick to making one /u/-tan for now. Two is just too complicated, especially within a 5-day deadline.
▶ No.25692>>25697 >>25710
Having long hair is nonnegotiable.
I think a powerful, but benevolent goddess with RPG clothes should be it, so she can help girls and cakes fall in love and use her powers to undo or banish any edgy shit art or shilling to spite faggots in advance and has a recognizable design with key features like Vivian.
That double symbol should definitely be part of her.

I disagree with this though. Need to be more of an ojousama/yamato nadeshiko schoolgirl like Shizuru/Chikane complete with the more traditional weaponry. Also wears kimonos a lot.

I posted my idea on the yuri jam thread over a year ago about two heroines with lightning and sun motifs. We should use that since sun/moon pairings are laughably overused, while the lightning and the sun put together hold esoteric meaning in various spiritual traditions. It also looks cooler.

Part of what I was thinking, but it should also stand out and look more like an RPG character in my opinion. I know not to go full KH, but I can see something like Tales working perfect.
▶ No.25709
Firstly we need a personality for our -tan. Anybody with good suggestions for a good base for a personality?
I say we make her a cheerier Sachiko.
Next we think the costume.
A school uniform would be cool in my opinion. Maybe a Spica Academy uniform with a longer skirt?
▶ No.25710>>25713
We have sort of been using Sachiko as mascot. I think she makes a good base to start from. The 8/u/ board tan needs to be a canvas for this board to express what yuri really is and really means, to the rest of 8ch.
Love, purity, strength, desire, beauty, elegance, chastity, stoicism, grace.
>>25692
Agreed. I think black hair in a hime cut would be perfect.
>>25700
Also agreed. I see her wearing black and white seifuku with a red tie and a long skirt. These are the colours adopted by /pol/ and 8ch in general. The 8ch anon is red for example.
>>25702
Giving her a weapon is a good idea. A katana is the obvious choice but I think something like a halberd or kama-yari would work just as well, without being as cliche.
Sorry for the 3DPD. It's Princess Kako of Akishino in the traditional seifuku I described

Coincidentally I've been thinking about a /u/-tan for the past few days. How about a vampire girl, with long straight white hair and red eyes? Calm, old-fashioned, ladylike and yet she looks just like a highschool girl.
Maybe a lily could be included on her school uniform, as something like one of those japanese school emblems? The problem is that it would look flashy if it is too big but you couldn't see it in the board group shot if it is too small. Maybe it could be included as one of those fancy armbands?

It could be mistaken with another board-tan like /monster/. /u/-tan should be a normal girl.
▶ No.25716
Was thinking if we only go with one board tan for the submission we should make her sad/lonely since she is still waiting for the second /u/tan to show up.

How about we just use an existing character as a mascot, like what /bane/ and /2hu/ have done?
Shizuru is an obvious choice since she gets a lot of references and shoops of her here, but Chikane or some other character is fine.
▶ No.25718>>25726
>>25717
Well if we go for this might as well just use two girls instead of one. If you use Shizuru you have to use Natsuki. Same for Chikane and Himeko. etc
I'd state if we did do this it should be either Shiznat or Chimeko just cause they best represent the theme of eternal forbidden love due to the whole tragic element of both sets dying young and in love only to reincarnate, fall in love, and then die again.
▶ No.25719>>25720

Yeah, I didn't think that part through.
>>25717
>How about we just use an existing character as a mascot, like what /bane/ and /2hu/ have done?
Because /bane/ resolves around one movie and mainly a single character from that. /2hu/ resolves around a single franchise though I think they should have re-designed zun into a little girl for their Tan.
How about using her design as a base, changing some of her colors an maybe giving her a different uniform?
▶ No.25720>>25726
>>25719
The thing is the tan will end up just being just like a few characters. ShizNat/Chimeko etc. It might be better to just use ShizNat or Chimeko in this instance since they already can be adapted to a wide variety of clothing/styles and situations due to the nature of their stories.
It's kinda like how Hitler or Pepe (especially Pepe think about how they'll draw pictures of him as President for instance - or how over the years he went from being happy to sad to smug - same could be done with the characters we choose as a board tan) are something of a tan for /pol/ or Gundam in general on /m/. A lot of the tans end up being lame but making the tan just a specific character the board already likes and has a very specific character might be better.
Why make some generic OC knockoff (that we will all quickly right off after this event is over) when we can go for the real fucking thing that will produce tons of fan-art on its own.

That deterioration of morals is only seen as such because of infidelity. If someone is trapped between multiple 2D girls who sincerely love and need them and living together is possible, it is the only option if accepted.

Only 3 days left before the deadline, so I'm just adding my two cents here.
The problem with purpose-made board-tans is that only a fraction of the userbase actually participates in board-tan threads, and those that do participate care for inserting their own fetishes instead of making the board-tan representative of the board as a whole. As a result, these board-tans end up as hodgepodges of fetishes and terrible design choices, and the rest of the boards that they're supposed to represent end up hating them. To my knowledge, 4/u/ tried to make a board-tan twice, with both results turning out horribly. Try posting either of them on 4/u/ now, and the other users will immediately tell you to fuck off.
Instead of going through all this grief, we should adopt existing characters as mascots like some of you are suggesting. Characters like Shizuru or Chikane are archetypes, meaning that they are timeless and universal symbols of the yuri genre. The entire board can readily accept them as representing them. Plus, there's no need to explain the meaning behind them or to drawfag them from scratch.
▶ No.25815>>25836
>>25804
I agree with this but I say go for the full pairing and not just Shizuru or Chikane if we do go for a board tan being an actual character. It's /u/ and this is a board about forbidden love and love != lust so we can't just depict someone like Shizuru or Chikane looking at other board tans. Would be best if our tan is a pairing like ShizNat, ShizumaNagisa, Chimeko, Sachiko/Yumi, Neveril/Aaeru, Mirielle/Kirika etc

Whatever comes out during that time span will be downright embarassing to associate with in the long term.
We should take things slow and use a mascot couple as was suggested. Then, if the board is still interested, create our own 8/u/ tan.

This is another thought. We can always take more time on this later. But for now putting something identifiable up there would work.

Yuri needs two girls to work. It's not worth just sending Shizuru up alone. Gotta send her and Natsuki.
I also think in general though a lot of the board tans tend to suck and in reality the board tan for a lot of boards is just the character they post the most - like Gundam on /m/, pepe on /pol/ (and other boards), etc.

I used to really enjoy the idea of board-tans but now they just make me cringe.
>in reality the board tan for a lot of boards is just the character they post the most - like Gundam on /m/, pepe on /pol/ (and other boards), etc.
It's funny how people forgot that /pol/ already had an OC board-tan. /pol/ stole pepe so hard that people think it's the official mascot now. /m/ had an OC board-tan as well, but it was unpopular because no one could decide what kind of mecha they wanted representing the board.
I unironically recommend a picture of hand-holding to represent /u/ and everyone can just imagine what pair of girls those hands belong to.
▶ No.25909

I know about both of those tans. But based on the images made for both I was stating that the real board tan for both of them is Gundam and Pepe since no one really posts the actual tans except whenever there is an event of some kind. I didn't really spell that out though in the post.
