Hi! I'm Mizuki!

I'm a real girl!

Hi everyone! I'm Mizuki, live from the high seas! I'm here to explore the wonderful world of Linux with you!

🐾
[Jaiden] That was Mizuki, our resident sailor, and mascot for Ultramarine Linux. Give her a warm welcome. This next section is written by me, about the design process.
🌸
[Lea] I think her and Raboneko will become great friends :p

The first thing our artist provided was a couple design ideas:

As you can probably guess, Deep Sea became the basis for Mizuki as she is now.

After some debates over pants and outfits, we decided that bell-bottoms with a design similar to Sea Foam's pencil skirt was the best option.

After Mizuki as a character was down, we had to define her a little bit, so we decided to fill up a backpack.

It has some of the quintessential Ultramarine platforms, and some easter eggs, like June in her fishbowl.

We exhibit more of her personal style on things like the keys, and phone case.

Overall, we're all really happy with how Mizuki turned out.

[Lyric] Mizuki was such a fun character to create, getting to mix ocean and cat themed elements into her design. Her design was fun to explore and I can't wait to make more art!

We're really excited to see more of Mizuki pop up around the internet, make sure to tag your fanart with #umchan or #mizuki for a chance to be boosted!

🌸
[Lea] Fan art is encouraged if you want to go crazy at it :)

Don't forget to check out Lyric, our lovely artist for this project. Fyra Labs is proud to be a patron of independent (human) artists, give her some love.

🌸
[Lea] I firmly believe it's important for companies to be patrons of the arts and culture. That's why we choose to work with independent artists. There's much more to come!

Take a look at our YouTube channel for videos about the process, Lyric has provided us with some timelapses of her drawing!

We hope you like Mizuki as much as we do!
