Drawing of the cyborg character, Three, sitting in a dark room viewing a recording. Three looks sad. Dialogue of the recording: Red Text: Status Check: SecUnit 02, 03. Brown Text: Status: Patrolling Hall 4, low activity from clients. Pink Text: Status Guarding Supervisor Sakai’s quarters, Sakai has entered rest period. Red Text: Status: Patrolling eastern border, the sky is very beautiful and the fauna are making wonderful sounds. Pink Text: Wow, it is beautiful. The sky wasn’t that colorful the previous cycles. Brown Text: I’ve seen the fauna that make that noise. I hope you encounter one on your patrol. They’re very gentle and almost as beautiful as the sky.

Why do I keep drawing sad secunits!?

Sketches of the cyborg character Three. The first sketch shows it without clothes, with visibly metallic joints, eyes, and abdomen and a BE logo on its chest.The text beside it reads: Differences from Murderbot - Slightly better hearing and smell - Low light vision not as good - 200 centimeters (yes, that does mean I have changed MB’s height to 200/198 centimeters) - More skin - Muscle pigments and logos do not change color - Slightly thicker outer support structure - No claws and shorter fangs The second sketch is of Three wearing red armor with BE logos on it and a pink splatter across it. The text beside the sketch reads: - Forehead sensors specifically for directly connecting with other secunits - Discoloration from a chemical accident during Barish-Estranza’s exploration of the lost colony in Network Effect The final sketch is of Three wearing a blue jacket over a white top and A necklace with a pink pendant with the number 3 on it. The text beside to it reads: - Will wear a Perihelion crew jacket, but currently wears the suit skin from BE as often as it can - Dogtag made from its old armor

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).

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.

One of the things I love about TMBD is how certain things are described with far less detail than you would expect, including the appearance of several major characters, leaving a lot of wiggle room for interpretation.

I did, to varying degrees, pull from the Subterranean cover for Home: Habitat, Range, Niche, Territory (Book 4.5) for the characters that appear in the illustration, but the information in the text was the only strict limit I put on myself.

Well that, and the colors assigned to each character. There’s no way I wasn’t going to give each of them a specific hue.

A four panel Murderbot Diaries fan comic. Panel 1: A depiction of ART/Perihelion’s consciousness, represented as a floating black sphere surrounded by criss-crossing blue rings with black and white spheres lining them. Across the main sphere is binary code and ART saying “Hi SecUnit, Miss me?” as it hovers over the humanoid cyborg Murderbot (also known as SecUnit), who is laying on the ground wounded and bleeding. The background is faded binary code. Panel 2: A close-up of Murderbot’s face, injured and with an expression of intense worry. There are a few lines of red binary code floating above its head. Panel 3: Still a close-up of Murderbot, but its expression has shifted to one of relief and the binary code is now green. Panel 4: Murderbot’s expression has shifted to anger as it shouts “Fuck you ART!” ART replies, “Well fuck you too.” The binary code is now gray.

Fun fact, when one of my friends got to the part of Network Effect where it’s revealed that ART died(?), I played along that it was dead for good and then immediately after started drawing this for when she got to the part where ART came back.

Nother fun fact, ART is based partly on an ophanium, those angels that are just wheels/rings with eyes.

Extra bonus fun fact, if you want to see the full binary and translate it, go here. Warning, it is long. So long I had to make a Dropbox account for it.
