Shimeji?

I swear to god Lu, don't you dare-

...Is anyone here familiar with Shimeji? [+]
Not the mushroom. The lil guys that crawl around your screen.

I made one a long time ago.

I made one a long time ago. So daunting ;; but having your tiny oc crawling around on your screen is the best

Oh yes, I have Loki, Thor and

Oh yes, I have Loki, Thor and Tony Stark (actually it's Robert Downey Jr because a real Tony Stark/Iron Man shimeji doesn't exist yet) running over my screen right now. Loki keeps cloning himself and Thor keeps swinging his hammer and looking derpy as he floats up the screen (he floats instead of climbs). They're so cute lol.

I know that they're basically three copies of the same program with different graphics but sometimes I swear to react to one another... as in a lot of the times when Tony sits down somewhere Loki runs over and sits next to him. It's adorkable. Shimeji love!

@Swampmouth- Exactly what I'm

@Swampmouth-
Exactly what I'm thinking. <3 ;; Daunting, but it seems like it'd be so worth it. If I had time, I'd make one of every one of my oc's.

Do you happen to still have yours? Man, I'd love to see one in your style.


@Oliviero-
Awhhhh yessss. I have no idea what the program is made up to be like, but maybe it's in the code somewhere for them to interact with other shemeji? I'm not sure. xD

OMG I'd love to make deer

OMG Laughing out loud I'd love to make deer shimeji but I have no clue how XD
I once had xmen and Sherlock Holmes shimeji's all over my screen XD

@Cicadia Heh actually my

@Cicadia

Heh actually my Thor is a different kind of shimeji with a looooot more options. I dunno, most shimejis I see and find on deviantART are of the simpler, basic kind with the menu in Japanese. Thor has a whole list of actions I can force him to do. I guess they're more difficult to make which is why I don't see these more complicated shimejis more often.

That might also be why Thor never seems to respond to Loki and Tony because he's a different program.

aw thanks lkjdf. but

aw thanks lkjdf. but unfortunately I don't. It was on a computer that's now kaput
But you've made me want to make another so badly now haha. I wonder how hard it would be to make one for a four-legged character...

I imagine you could download an already existing shimeji, and draw over it. But it might not line up with the screen the same

Deer shimeji was actually

Deer shimeji was actually exactly what I was getting at...xD Thinking about being over ambitious and terrible and trying to make one with my chibis.

@Oliviero-
Ohhhh, I don't think I've ever even seen that type before. o_o Maybe I'll have to go looking, just to take a look at his program. That could be a really interesting to try out...or edit. xD Where'd you get him from?

@Swampmouth-
Waugh that's a shame. OTL I bet it was boss.
As for making one a four legged thingum...hmm, I imagine if you know how to work the four legs, it wouldn't be too hard. I...have been trying to do it with one of my characters, and admittedly it's not troubling me too much. |D Though of course, I'm more familiar with animal anatomy than human anatomy anyhow...

The line up might be a problem though, you're right...hmmm...*investigates*...

...if you do make another one, pleasepleasepleaseshare. ♥

He's no longer up for

He's no longer up for download (there's a DepositFile.com page for him but it's not working) but I can mail him to you if you want.
According to the person on deviantART who made this one his coding is unique and you shouldn't mix him with other shimejis. You can have him run around with normal shimejis no problem but you can't mess with the files and swap graphics and such. That's what it said anyway.

This particular shimeji is called a shimeji-ee so maybe google will get some results as well.

Also, he doesn't seem to work on every computer for some reason. I have a windows 7 64bit and he runs fine on mine.

; u ; I've got a little

I've got a little Sherlock and a little Moriarty running about currently.

[e] WHOOPS forgot about poor little John, lmao. when Sherlock isn't clambering about they like to sit with each other. >u>

I have a whole bunch of

I have a whole bunch of different-colored Link's (Legend of Zelda) running around my screen right now. I downloaded the "mischevious" version so... Lord help me. xD

;v; I will, I will! and good

;v; I will, I will!
and good luck with your shimeji endeavors. of course, you gotta show how it turned out when you finish~

I am making one and it is turning out great. I'll be a base for everyone to make their deer!!!
