80s Style Miyuki
Rounding out my series of Lucky Star characters drawn in an 80's style, it's Miyuki Takara. Konata asked her to bring over a diskette to copy some game files, and Miyuki is having a look at it. Hard to believe something so small can hold 360,000 bytes- you could store a book on there! Of course, Konata wants to fill it with games.
Here are the other Lucky Star characters I've drawn in that 80's style:

The connecting theme I wanted in these pictures was not just the girls, but also the tech. Each girl has some tech that has changed in major ways, but remains part of our everyday lives (game consoles, portable sound systems, cell phones, and computer networking- in this case, Miyuki is using "Sneakernet").
I have some other projects to work on for now, but I had fun drawing modern characters in an 80's style. I'll have to do some more when I can.
Drawn in OpenCanvas. I used my Figma Haruhi to help with the pose, and I checked out a bunch of 80's model sheets and colored pieces to get the feel right.
