Welp, Here Be My Interpretation Of Murderbot.

A reference drawing of my interpretation of the cyborg character Murderbot.

It has very dark brown skin and darker hair and a lean muscular build. While most of its body is covered in skin, a few parts, mostly its neck, abdomen, back of head, and spine, and energy projectiles on its arms are covered in black metal.

Its joints, the seems on its face, and the sclera of its eyes change color based on the danger level of the situation it is in. Technically the danger level is an indicator of how much danger Murderbot thinks those it is concerned with are in. The colors go from turquoise to green to black to bright red, with turquoise being high safety (something the company did not expect any of their secunits to be involved in) and bright red being extreme danger. The most commonly expressed colors are green to medium red.

One of the full body drawings shows Murderbot with buzzed short hair, unclothed, and dark red eyes, seams, and joints. In the other full body image, Murderbot is slightly shorter with slightly longer, shaggy hair and turquoise eyes, seams, and joints. It is wearing medium blue jeans, dark gray boots, a black shirt, and a dark blue hoodie. The hoodie has a pattern of lines and dots that shimmer in the light. On the sides of the sleeves are MURDERBOT written in Morse code in matte black.

On its lower abdomen, back of its head, and the upper left side of its back are triangular company logos. The logo on its back is a mix of hyperpigmentation, blood vessels, and simple computer chips. It pulses with light and color when Murderbot is online. Also on the back of its neck is a circular data port.

Murderbot’s expressions are also shown including, happiness, calmness, neutral/hiding emotions, anger, and sadness/anxiety. Its hair sticks up during strong emotions.

It has claws on its hands that are technically retractable and long fangs, both made of black metal.

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.

Drawing of an anthropomorphic lion-like creature (named Matonne) with shaggy medium-length hair sitting with her back to the viewer. She looks at the viewer with an angry and exhausted expression, her ears drooping and her tail flat on the ground. She is wearing gray shorts and a t-shirt that says on the back, “Don’t talk to me til my healthcare is free”.

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.

[Image Description: A fat, dark-skinned person wearing glasses, dressed in a loose pink shirt and pants, and with their dark curly hair tied back in a bun is standing on a balcony, their back to the viewer. 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.

[Image Description: A drawing of a person from the chest up. This person is smiling and has tan skin; short, black, curly hair; and large, dark brown eyes. They are wearing a multicolored, striped sweater. End of Image a Description.]

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.

Drawing of the cyborg character Murderbot. It is looking down with a sad expression, as if about to cry. Its sclera and artificial seams along its face are dark red.

Felt like drawing a sad Murderbot. For a fourth time.

Accidentally posted this to my main blog.

Three drawings of a fat brown humanoid cat. The first drawing is her from the front without clothes. The second drawing is her from the front wearing a green collared shirt and jeans. The third drawing is her from the back without clothes. The following information is listed about the character:
Name: Beverly “Bev” Collina
Species: Cat
Job: Novelist
Birth Year: 2000
Height: 5 feet 9 inches
Pronouns: She/Her
Gender: Female
Orientation: Lesbian

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.
