Welp, here be my interpretation of Murderbot.
Thank you to @tindoiimu for input on the inorganic colors, @nerdwingblogs for giving me the idea that it changes colors (I get choice paralysis when it comes to color schemes), and both of them plus @tytoalbias for encouraging me to let my furriness bleed into its design.
Some extra bits of info
It starts out at 7 feet tall. Is later 6 feet and 11.2 inches tall
Its skin tone is based on the Subterranean cover for Home: Habitat, Range, Niche, Territory (Book 4.5).
The skin and muscles on its head act similar to those on its back, and since the company did not intend its security units to have hair longer than a buzz cut, its head hair reacts the same as the finer hairs on the rest of its body
I’m explaining away the claws and fangs as the company trying to make their secunits more intimidating, but the real world reason is I keep calling Murderbot a cat with anxiety and just decided to run with it.
If you wanna see what I imagine is inside it click here.
Happy June. Here, have a bicon.

Finally got around to drawing Three. I modeled my take on it after some of my early concept sketches for Murderbot, a few other Murderbot fan designs I enjoy, and, much more subtly, canines (given the vaguely feline traits I’ve given Murderbot).
This was gonna be part of a larger project years ago, but this is the only part I even started on.
Guess it counts now as vent art, of the frustration of being both sick and/or disabled and having to go through so many hoops just to get the care you know exists, with some of those hoops being financial in my case.

They are calmly viewing the row of forested hills in front of them and the sky that is bright and partly cloud. End of image description.] Wanted to practice drawing backgrounds, so I tried my hand at doing some hills and a daytime sky. The character was originally going to Matonne, but decided to draw Alex again instead.

Finally managed to draw a new portrait of myself. It took a lot of time and work to figure out, and I am very proud of how it turned out. I’m especially proud of how the sweater turned out; I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to replicate the pattern of one of my favorite tops.

Decided to take a stab at drawing another one of my favorite fairy mons. This little cutie always makes me hungry for marshmallows dipped in fondue.
Felt like drawing a sad Murderbot. For a fourth time.
Just playing around with brushes and color.
Accidentally posted this to my main blog.
Updated the design and finally gave a name to that one cat girl I drew years ago. Friend, girlfriend, wife (depending on where in the timeline things are) of Matonne. A generally quiet gal who likes to spend her Ike reading and writing contemporary fantasy. Can frequently be found in libraries, bookstores, hobby shops, and whatever patch of nature sparks her inspiration.
To all my fellow artists out there…
