Description
Awhile back cptlfrghtr asked for a drawing of OS/360-tan (second from left) and OS/ES-tan (Soviet clone of OS/360, pictured here at the far right) eating a box of marshmallow Peeps together. Because his birthday was coming up I decided to go all-out and include MTS-tan (far left) and DOS/ES-tan (Soviet clone of DOS/360, second from right) as well, because the more mainframes the merrier! (Technically there's a fifth here — points to whoever can figure out who she is.)
I also went all-out with the interior design because it's a dream of mine to be able to achieve full mastery of schlocky 1970s (and 50s, and 60s) design elements. The same goes for the coloring and aging effects - compare and contrast with the un-vintage-ized version.) I'm pretty pleased with the outcome, though in hindsight I may have used a little less yellow/gold.

The mastery is resplendent. Be proud. I can smell the shag carpeting from here. As for the lighting—I probably would've gone further with the chromatic washout. You've got dust on the picture, so it's probably been around long enough that the actual image has lost a fair amount of colour—moreso than shown! Consider this photograph from '76 and this one from 'sometime in the mid 80s'; while the second one is yellow, there's no chromatic vibrance. It feels like someone tinted a greyed-out photograph yellow, which is what happens when the pigments go—coldness despite being in a warm colour.
