I’ve Been Reading Some Fanfics And Relistening To The Audiobooks, So I Decided To Update My Take On

Various profile drawings of the cyborg Murderbot at different points in the series. From left to right:

Under Company Ownership: Pre-Series and Book 1. Its hair is extremely short, and its eyes are red. It is wearing gray armor. Its expression is blank.

Pre-Alteration: Books 1 and 2. Its hair is still short, and its expression still blank. Its eyes are green, and it is wearing a grey shirt and jacket with a rainbow flower logo on the chest.

Post-Alteration: Books 2, 3, and 4. Its hair is slightly longer, and its eyes are red. It is wearing a black shirt and a dark blue jacket. It’s looks angry.

Second Hair Growth: Books 4 and 4.5. Its hair now reaches slightly past its ears, and its eyes are bright red. It is wearing a black shirt and a different blue hooded jacket. It looks worried.

On Preservation: Books 5 and 6. Its hair is tied back into a ponytail, and its eyes are cyan blue. It is wearing a white t-shirt and the same blue hooded jacket. It looks happy.

Survey and Rescue Missions: Book 5. Its hair is shorter again, and its eyes are red. It is wearing a black shirt and the same blue hooded jacket. It looks angry.

After [Redacted]: Book 7. Its hair is still short, and its eyes are bright red. It is wearing a dark blue blazer with a logo of a planet on the shoulder and black collared shirt underneath. It looks terrified.
A drawing of Murderbot from the waist up with no clothes on. It is looking away from the viewer. It has three triangular logos in its body, one each on the back of its head, its metal shoulder, and its back. There are claw marks over the logos on its back and shoulder. Shown also are drawings of its arm and hands, displaying its claws, the gunport on its arm, and the bright pads on its palm and fingertips. 

The text reads: The logos are engravings in the support structure whose colors are created by LEDs connected to simple computer chips rather than muscle pigments. They are programmed to only be black or red.

Constructs can withstand greater damage than humans, but without medical care, they cannot fully heal from even minor injuries.
A diagram of the typical arrangement of organs and other parts in Murderbot. From top to bottom:

Skin: Thin or absent on various parts of the body.

Outer Support Structure: Segmented to allow for movement. Thinnest (and grayer) in a few points around the eyes and the audio sensors to make wireless connections easier.

Muscles: Thin and inorganic. Found in all constructs and some higher quality human augments. They include pigments that, if modified to do so, can change shape and thus color based on certain inputs. This feature is used in many comfortunits and some secunits. In Murderbot’s case, the inputs are various danger-related signals from the brain and hormone producer. The range goes from bright red (perceived extreme danger) to cyan (perceived safer than safe).

Inner Support Structure/Skeleton: Encased within are its main sensory nerves and blood vessels. Uppermost layer on the shoulders and upper leg.

Inner Organs: Example shown: Power Cell

I’ve been reading some fanfics and relistening to the audiobooks, so I decided to update my take on Murderbot.

[Image Description: Drawing Of The Pokémon Granbull. Granbull Is Resembles A Purple Bulldog With A Thick,

[Image Description: Drawing of the Pokémon Granbull. Granbull is resembles a purple bulldog with a thick, grey collar and long, protruding lower canine teeth. End of Description.]

Damn, how long has it been since I last posted? Well, neither here nor there. Wasn’t quite proud of this drawing when I started it months ago, but thanks to the internet’s motivational words of “better finished than perfect,” I’ve cleaned this up and finally posted it. Not the best, but a fun exercise in reinterpreting another one of my favorite pokemon, Granbull.

Drawing of the cyborg Murderbot with a sad expression curled up in a blanket while viewing a holographic video. Behind it is the text: “All I wanted to do was watch media and not exist”. The full background is black with gray and red binary.

Quote from Fugitive Telemetry. Scene set between Network Effect and System Collapse.

The binary is in ASCII, Unicode, and ASCII/UTF-8. Whichever you pick, it will translate to the same thing.

[Image Description: A Drawing Of A Golden Lioness Laying Down On A Rock With A Peach Lion Cub Laying

[Image Description: A drawing of a golden lioness laying down on a rock with a peach lion cub laying near her front legs. End of Description]

I’ve been watching a lot of Drawfee and The Lion Guard lately, so I was inspired to experiment with brushes by drawing Malka and his mother, who I’ve named Tafuta. The background I am not proud of, but the main drawing I quite like.

Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game

Didn't see a lot of artist ask games, wanted to make a silly one.

2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)

3. What ideas come from when you were little

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in

9. What are your file name conventions

12. Easiest part of body to draw

13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing

14. Any favorite motifs

15. *Where* do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)

16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing

17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what

18. An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken

19. Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.)

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

22. What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any

23. Do you use different layer modes

24. Do your references include stock images

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended

27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with

28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)

29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

[Image Description: Cartoony Drawing Of A Brown Humanoid Furry Character. This Character Has The Head

[Image Description: Cartoony drawing of a brown humanoid furry character. This character has the head of a rabbit, tail of a lion, and feet of a horse. He is wearing a long-sleeve blue shirt, a blue plaid button up, black skirt, and silver earring. End of Description]

An old drawing of Matonne wearing an outfit that I actually own, minus the earring. I took a thermal from a Walmart, an oversized button up (that was also the first item from the men’s section I ever owned), and a skirt I wear as a tube dress. Makes me feel particularly genderpunk.

A drawing of a light tan lioness with a curly black mane. Her mane and tail are decorated with tiny flowers. She is walking through a grassy field.

My first ever ArtFight drawing. This one is of @summer--starz’s feline Kibibi. I have a soft spot for maned lionesses, so I immediately jumped on drawing her.

[Image Description: Digital Artwork Of A Clefairy; A Pastel Pink, Round, Bipedal Pokémon With Large

[Image Description: Digital artwork of a Clefairy; a pastel pink, round, bipedal Pokémon with large cat-like ears, tiny fairy wings, a curl of hair atop its head akin to bangs, and a curly tail resembling a cinnamon roll. The background is dark blue with lighter blue stars on it, resembling a night sky. The line-art, shadows, highlights, and background all have a pixelated airbrush appearance to them. End Of Image Description]

It’s been a looooong while since I’ve posted any art. So to get myself at least a little bit back into the swing of things, I’ve decided to do a little drawing of one of my Pokémon faves, Clefairy.  I played around with the Dissolve Filter and pencil tool in Photoshop, and I have to saw I am in love with them.
