The page is now live! Trope-tan
As said here
: Trope-tan is a cute concept, but her design has always struck me as busy/outdated/not befitting the Moe Anthropomorphism look. Would the community be open to a potential redesign and/or full update of the page? I've drawn
◊ the current design before, but I didn't want to start thinking about making changes before running it by the community and seeing if this is even something plausible first.
The first thing that comes to mind is that, since it's a gijinka design, I'd probably like for it to use more anime-oriented tropes than it already does, and make the design more visually cohesive and less chaotic and disorganized.
If a total revamp isn't plausible right now, maybe at least a new, cleaner image could be provided of the current design?
Edit: Here's the sandbox for the new and improved Trope-tan page, and it's open for edits, new ideas, and designs for "offshoot" Trope-tans such as Sugar Wiki. Feel free to contribute, suggest ideas for uses for the new Trope-tan, and give feedback!
This
◊ is a Gilligan Cut-styled "origin story" for her, and this
◊ is a blank "advice banner" template.

Thank you to everyone involved!! Sorry, I've been packing all day
The page looks great!
I never thought this little idea would get off the ground. I'm seriously incredibly grateful to everyone involved.

Sidenote: Tropers.Trope Tan exists as a stub page created in 2010. I don’t know who made it, so basically only the mods can edit it. What should be done with it?
I guess it's just a joke account made years ago.

Macron's notesWas reorganizing a Ho Yay page last night and "Ho Yay pages are just a list of Live Slug Reactions" came to mind so I made this (context
)
Trope-tan homophobic?!?!?!?! (real)

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Is this thread done?
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.No need to close this, we can keep it open if people want to start making more art or something.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallAfter a change to my art style and a few other things, I've decided that I'm not too happy with the original design for Darth-tan and decided to give her a redesign. (Is that allowed?)
All images put in folders because they're all pretty big.
Don't think too hard about the pose, I saw it somewhere and thought it was cool so I tried to recreate it.
I thought the arm cannon strapped to her arm looked too clunky and honestly a bit impractical for movement, but I still liked the concept so I changed it into a weapon stored into her cybernetic left hand.
Inspired by the backstory comic for Trope-tan posted in Image Links.

"She is a girl" - THE HAMLET GLUTTONYou have my approval to update her design on the official page as you see fit! :)
I redesigned Trope-tan! ➯ my pronouns are ze/hirI've made Minecraft skins for Trope-tan
◊ and
◊ company
◊! However, I couldn't figure out any way to make Trope-tan's backpack look good on a skin, so my version of her goes without it.
Since there were a couple of inconsistencies with Darth-tan's redesign, I took a few liberties with my version of her Minecraft skin. First, in one image both her kneepads and bootlaces were red, but in another they were both grey; which I remedied by having the bootlaces be red and the kneepads be grey. Second, her Dethroner MkII is said to be on her left hand, but it's instead been drawn on her right. My version has it on her left. Lastly, I gave her a spiked fingerless glove from her previous design because I thought it'd look cool, and there wasn't much else on her right arm anyway.
EDIT: Uploading the skin images through the forums compressed them considerably, and I've reuploaded them through Imgur.

Check out my Sandbox!Moved thread to Yack Fest as the redesign already happened and the topic was Just for Fun anyways.
Macron's notesTBH, I kinda miss the old Trope-tan, but I like the new one's design better.
Unrelated, but I've had an idea for a web manga starring Trope-tan and Wikipe-tan for a while now and I'd just like to see if anyone would actually be interested. It would be a weird mix of Slice of Life, comedy, and action, mostly about the girls going about their daily lives doing wiki business while poking fun at the wikis' similarities and differences, while also fighting evil.
I might draw a page or two just for fun.
Inconsistently active.Gijinka is fun, seeing how what they anthromorphize relates to their interactions with others!

All fanart should be moved to ImageLinks.Trope Tan. I made Archive.Trope Tan Classic Image Links while I was at it.
