Immune system go brr

A few designs I’ve done since I had this mutated brainchild back in October. I have others like eosinophil and dendritic but I wanna redraw them. I was still learning the way of the cell creature back then lol. Image IDs under the cut

[Start ID: The first image shows the AU design for U-1146. The background is white with a gray triangle pattern. He’s wearing his usual uniform, but he has a rounded, noseless snout, long ears without holes, and his one eye that is showing has black sclera and a round silver iris. His skin, turned cell membrane, is pure white with faint gray striped that resemble the markings of a raccoon. He has a tail with the same colors, it’s long, skinny, and has multiple lobes on it. Who on the very end, and a few dorsal lobes along its length. Again, like a raccoon, the tail has those faint stripes on it. He’s standing and staring at the viewer with his one visible eye, with his left hand in a fist, and the other gripping a silver knife. There’s some text next to his head that reads: “Only has one eye, and it can’t un-dilate so he always has that big sauger pupil we see in the media.” Another text box reads “Some raccoon inspiration because the official art makes it look like he has an eye mask.” There’s a piece of this official art in the top left corner of the image for comparison, and in the bottom right, there’s my watermark.

The second image shows Killer T Cell’s design. The background has an orange-yellow triangle design. He’s standing with his usual uniform, head turned and arms crossed. He doesn’t have bones, though, so his arms look more like they’re tied in a knot. He keeps his canon skin tone and hair style, but his membrane has dark blue markings that make him resemble a peregrine falcon. He shares the basic physical features with U-1146, except his tail is thinner and only has two small lobes on the end. His tail is yellow, like his hair, and has an arrow pointing from it to a picture of a banana flavored Snack Pack pudding package, noting that his tail looks a lot like banana pudding by humorously noting “Is it worth it?” Unlike 46, T’s hazel eyes are made up of multiple pupils that coalesce like a lava lamp, and this is true for all future entries as well. Again, there’s my watermark and an actual picture of killer t for reference.

The third image shows Macrophage’s design, and a cream-colored triangle background. Macrophage has large, frilled ears, and a darker cell membrane that looks almost like light coffee. She’s wearing her normal ruffled dress, but instead of legs, she has long tentacles without suckers, built almost like Ursula. She’s covered in white patterns with ripple-like stripes and spots, resembling a cuttlefish. With her right arm and one of her tentacles, she’s holding her signature cleaver, dripping with red blood, which also stained another tentacle and parts of her dress, and the other arm is held up to her face in an “I didn’t do that!” pose. She’s accompanied by a picture of anime Macrophage and a microscope photo of a real macrophage, reaching out with its “arms” to some bacteria. There’s a text box under it that reads: “like come on I HAD to make her a sea monster, have you seen real macrophages? Look at this bitch.” Another box reads: “lots of cephalopod inspiration, octopus-like build with cuttlefish markings and frills.” A final humorous box says “it’s ok she just had to refill the ketchup at McDonald’s,” referring to the blood.

The fourth image featured NK’s design with a green patterned background, as are the following images. She keeps her skin tone and clothes for the most part, but she has a centaur-like build. Her black tank top is extended to cover her chest and has short sleeves for her first set of legs, and ends with a belt around her midsection to her green shorts. She has green boots on all four of her feet, and her tail is black with green splotches, and has lots of lobes, almost like that of a leafy sea dragon. She has army-green spots resembling a cheetah, and she’s smiling and looking confident, with her left hand in a fist. She has her saber in a sheath on her back, and a brown bag secured to her belt like a saddlebag. There’s an arrow pointing to the photo of anime NK from a text box that says “there is something about this SPECIFIC png of NK that cracks me up sm and I don’t fucking know what it is.”

The fifth image shows Helper T, who shares many basic traits with Killer T such as bipedalism and a two-loved tail. While he still has the creature features like the big ears and rounded snout, he’s race-swapped as a black man, and has dark stripes along his arms and face like a peacock. His eyes are blue, and he’s holding a cup of green tea, dropping a cookie in it. There’s a small figure showing that his hair (flagella) are each coiled rather than straight.

The final image shows B cell’s design, which has a lot of bird inspiration. He has a longer snout, plumed tail and ears, and big flat lobes along his arms that look like wings. His eyes are silver md his stripes are brown and green, patterned like that of a blue jay. He’s also holding his antibody gun. A text box reads: “Bird boy! B cells were first discovered in birds and are named after the bursa of fabrics, a thymus-like organ for B cells that only birds have.” There’s also a note that says “face shape inspired by the Hilda bird because look at him,” accompanied by a screenshot of the raven from the Netflix series Hilda. He has a simple, completely black design with a rounded face, stick-figure legs and small wings. End ID.]

watch out pathogens ‼️

This drawing… has a lot of wrong with it but in my defence digital art is hard

Also fr click for better quality for some reason it’s especially egregious with this one

big ramble about design changes under the cut

Okay so basically my main thing was making them all just look like they are part of the same group since despite what CAW keeps implying design-wise lymphocytes are also WBCs. So NK and Macrophage’s outfits got a bit militarised. I also wanted to give the ‘subgroups’ (ie lymphocytes, granulocytes etc.) some similarities, so neutrophils and eosinophils get the same shirt.

I couldn’t justify having neutrophils being the only ones looking so monochrome but I also didn’t want to stray too far from the og designs so I just settled for desaturating everyone else and giving them grey skin tones to help them match. I also wanted everyone to have some white on them cause yknow WBC.

Basically innate immune system is white with black accents whereas adaptive immune system is black with white accents. Although NK gets black boots to make her match the other lymphocytes. Also I forgot B cell and Macrophage’s epaulettes whoops.

Some cells in the show have their own colour (like eosinophil wearing pink and B cell wearing blue) so I decided to extend that to giving everyone a colour. (Also anything to let the neutrophils wear something that isn’t white it’s hard to draw lol) Killer T got orange since it would give the T and B cells complimentary colours and a neat trio with NK’s green. Neutrophils get that light blue/green colour since it’s close-ish to white and I just thought it looked nice idk. Also I like to think the granulocytes get to rock the pastels.

Macrophage’s pale red was supposed to be a vague allusion to blood since they are the heavy hitters but idk I’m not settled on her design at all and I’m wondering if maybe a purple would’ve been better. That being said I like how the red compliments the neutrophils green/blue since they are the main phagocytes. Idk.

NK has sunglasses cause everyone else has something on their head and it felt weird that she didn’t but I didn’t want to give her a hat. Also eh I think she suits the bouncer vibe.

The granulocytes have freckles and the phagocytes have sharp teeth I don’t make the rules.

1146’s hat now says neutrophil instead of WBC because it’s a real pet peeve of mine since, again, basically all the other immune cells are also white blood cells. Eosinophil also gets her cell type on her hat cause why shouldn’t she. I was too afraid of messing up to put either in Japanese.

I changed the style of trousers for the neutrophil uniform to something which would be more comfortable for high activity admittedly it doesn’t look as good as the og style so idk.

Fun fact: quick google tells me macrophages are around twice the size of the other cells here (give or take a few micrometers depending on which cell) so she is now the tallest. by far.

Everything else is dictated by rule of cool or the limits of my artistic ability.

If anyone actually read all this, I greatly appreciate it. I spent way too long thinking about this lol but talking about character design is fun :D

Mmmk time to ACTUALLY show off my guys and there will be more of these as I collect clips lmao.(Very long, you have been warned) ID under the cut

[Start ID: Video shows info cards for each of the four voice claimed characters. The first is for a green lactobacillus paracasei named Verdant. They have gills along their neck, a pointed snout, a blue shine to their scales, and bright teal eyes, under which they have long pointed cheek bones. They have angular fins on their head, elbows, and tail. Their hands and feet are webbed, and the ankles of their digitigrade legs have 3 spines on each. They’re wearing a yellow tee shirt, khaki shorts, and wired earbuds. Text boxes note that the voice is Ashley Nichol’s from The Amazing Digital Circus. Her species is restated, her pronouns are they/she, and the voice claim is rated with an accuracy of 4/4. The text box reads: “Verdant was laid off from her job in the SM. I when lactose intake ceased. They escaped into the bloodstream during a viral infection, but were confronted by a killer T cell. Lucky for her, the T in question recognized them as harmless and offered to help her find a new job.” The second voice is for JO-1467/Joe. This is a killer T cell wearing the usual black uniform and cap, except she’s AU-ified, of course. She has light skin, long brown hair, eyes, and stripes along her arms, rounded snout and ears that look like ripples on water. She has a skinny tail with two lobes on the end, as all killer Ts in the AU do. Her voice is Brenda Song’s as Anne Boonchuy in Amphibia. Her pronouns are she/her, and accuracy rating is 4/4. Text box reads: “JO-1467, later preferring to go by Joe, is the T cell who befriended Verdant. She only escaped the thymus by cramming for tests, and much prefers exploring and talking to people to killing. Joe is currently allowing Verdant to tag along on her patrols while they brainstorm.” The third voice is for an eosinophil named S-3288/Sid. Their skin is slightly lighter than Joe’s and they have thick, purple bean shaped stripes along their snout and under their violet eyes. They’re wearing a dark pink uniform with brown leather boots and gloves, and a loose purple tie. They have bright blond hair dyed various colors in random spots, and a few prominent strands of hair stick out from under their cap. Their tail is thick and has large dorsal lobes, and transitions from blond to purple before ending in a silver spearhead. They’re also holding a purple motorcycle helmet. They have black stud earrings and a purple slap bracelet on one of the spear tines, The voice is Ben Schwartz’s as Leonardo from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, their pronouns are they/them, and accuracy is 4/4. Text box reads: “Sid is Joe’s long-time best friend. They have too much free time and spend it traveling the body, promoting their one-cell band, Obsidian Rib. They’re very lax when it comes to their job as an eosinophil and support Joe’s efforts to help Verdant.” The final voice belongs to CE-2095, another killer T cell. Her skin is golden brown with thick black stripes all over, resembling that of a poison dart frog. Certain parts under her chin, arms, and hat are a lighter tone due to protection from the sun. Her eyes are silvery blue, and her dishwater blond hair is in a messy bun. The voice is Mart Elizabeth McGlynn’s as Diana from League of Legends. Her pronouns are she/any, and accuracy is rated 3/4. Text box reads: “CE-2095 is Joe’s squad leader. She’s blunt and to-the-point, and isn’t a fan of her recruits goofing off. She’s suspicious of Joe, but doesn’t care enough yet to see that her strange attitudes have been because she’s hanging out with a bacterium.” End ID.]
