this concept has been bouncing around in my head for a while and thus I give you: feedsonas of Murderbot’s Risk Assessment and Threat Assessment modules. with a bonus Education module in there too. I call them Ah-ray, Ti-ay, and Ed. 

[ID: a page of sketches in a dark teal of feedsonas for Murderbot, Ah-ray and Ti-ay. Ah-ray and Ti-ay have complementary designs, and are both wearing sunglasses. The first sketch is of Ah-ray sitting with one leg over the other and waving cheerily, while Ti-ay stands with its arms behind its back, looking serious. Underneath is a sketch of Ti-ay in the Pepe Silvia theory board pose. The third sketch is Ah-ray, leaning on a sign that says “DAYS SINCE MURDERBOT HAS SURVIVED A 9% SURVIVABLE SITUATION: 0” and looking smug. 

The fourth sketch is Ti-ay, Ah-ray, and Ed all standing next to each other, looking off to the left at something unseen. Ti-ay looks nervous, and is saying “What is that?” Ah-ray responds “Doesn’t matter, we can take it!”  Ed, looking unimpressed, says “That’s a raccoon.” 

The fifth sketch is of Murderbot from the chest up, its fists raised. Ti-ay and Ah-ray float over each of its shoulders. Ti-ay has a clipboard and is saying “I’ve got 7 hostiles on scan, all armed-” while Ah-ray, looking bored, says “You’ll literally be fine don’t worry.” A follow-up sketch underneath has Ti-ay telling Ah-ray “You always do this! You do realise that taking damage is BAD, right?” Ah-ray responds, nonchalant, “Yeah but we won’t die! we can get repaired.” In between them, Murderbot looks annoyed and is saying “I hate you both.”

The final sketch is a two-panel comic of Ti-ay getting interrupted by Ah-ray. In the first panel, Ti-ay is sitting at a table with its fingers steepled in front of it. In the second, Ah-ray is coming in from the right and is waving its hands. The dialogue is:  Ti-ay: A large pentagram on the floor, an alter, a large black kettle, and a black robe. Ah-ray: A pointy hat! A broomstick! Ti-ay: Hey man! Ah-ray: Three newts! A lizard tongue! Ti-ay: That’s what he found! Ah-ray: Eyeballs! /end ID]

introducing the 4th and worst module roommate: Governor. 

[ID: A five-panel comic. In the first panel, Threat Assessment Module is looking down at a clipboard in its hand. Risk Assessment Module is sitting beside it, its cheek resting on its hand. It’s saying, “… and it’s like, I’m literally not even defective, you just have self-confidence issues. When I say it’s going to be okay, it’s cus you’re a fucken badass, and I just wish-”. In the second comic, a scribbly black speech bubble is coming in from the right. It says “DISTANCE LIMIT VIOLATED” in white text. Ah-ray is frowning at it. The third panel is mostly grey, with a scribbly black figure in the centre. Its arms have been ripped off, and its face is just a bunch of eyes. The fourth panel is Ti-ay and Ah-ray sitting in silence, Ah-ray still looking off to the right. In the fifth panel, Ti-ay says, without looking up from its clipboard, “Shut the fuck up, Governor.” Ah-ray says “Yeah, shut the fuck up Governor.” then mutters “… hate that guy.” /end ID]

#man this one is old #old enough to give me nostalgia anyway #i saw this before i was on tumblr #actually pretty sure i saw it before i was on the discord #there were like 5 or 6 ppl whose murderbot blogs i would just check randomly to look at cool fanart and stuff and this was one of them #specifically bc i wanted to see more modules #murderbot fanart #murderbot #bram's modules

[ilovedthestars]

hey yall its worst roommate time 

[ID: A digital illustration of Governor, my feedsona of Murderbot’s governor module. It’s completely black, has four arms, and its face is just a cluster of eyes. All of its arms and legs end in a sharp point. It has six wings, one set sprouting from its head, one from its shoulders, and one from its lower back. The feathers are all sharp, and the wings from its shoulders have eyes along the top of them. It also has a white halo, and there are eyes floating in the space around it. The words “stand down and freeze” are written in white across the center of the image. Behind it, the same phrase is also in capslock, at a lower opacity, in glitching text. Governor and the eyes around it have been heavy distorted through chromatic aberration, making it look like its glowing slightly with every colour at once. /end ID]

my module feedsonas deserve some FT content so i thought I’d make a lil something for AUpril

(spoiler alert there will be more i just dont wanna post em on the same day)

[ID: A four-panel comic drawn digitally in blue, featuring humanoid feedsonas for Murderbot and its Threat Assessment module (TA). Murderbot is visible from the waist up, and wears a oversized hoodie. TA is a lot smaller, hovering just next to Murderbot’s left shoulder, and is holding a clipboard. In the first panel, they are both looking over to the left, concerned. Above them reads “Watching Aylen and Gamila enter the Lalow alone”. In the second panel, TA looks down at its clipboard and says “Threat assessment is up to 89%.” Murderbot glances over at it and asks “Is it Mensah?”. In the third panel, TA is checking a holoscreen next to it and replies “Negative. No change in Dr. Mensah’s status.” In the fourth panel, it gestures to the left and says “Those two, however-”. Murderbot is rolling up its sleeve to show its gunport, and says “Fuck’s sake.” /end ID]

#there is something so satisfying about that hoodie #it looks so squishy #and the little hands with only one finger separated #these character designs are so elegantly simplified down to the bare minimum while still looking very person-shaped #it's very impressive #murderbot #murderbot fanart #bram's modules

[ilovedthestars]

that time that Murderbot had a constant input from threat assessment so it could make sure Mensah didn’t get suddenly murdered by a greycris agent (2023, colourised)

[ID: A 3-panel comic digitally drawn in blue, featuring feedsonas for Threat Assessment Module (TA) and Risk Assessment Module (RA). They are both humanoid figures wearing sunglasses, and with vaguely sci-fi-y patterns on their bodies. The first panel features TA, floating in a slouched sitting position surrounded by hovering screens. Its head is resting in one hand and it looks bored. In the second panel, RA walks past with a drink in one of its hands while it waves with the other. It says “Still watching those Mensah drone cams?”, and TA responds “Yup.” In the third panel, RA is walking away, holding up the drink in salute. It says, “Keep it up, champ!” and TA replies “Thanks.” /end ID]

#poor TA lol #love the little squish of its face XD #bram you're so good at like. body language. it's really impressive #murderbot #murderbot fanart #bram's modules

Human One

Threat Assessment and Risk Assessment react to Murderbot taking unexpected damage.

[ID: A short comic drawn digitally in shades of red. At the top is an alert banner that reads “ALERT. PERFORMANCE RELIABILITY DROP. MINOR DAMAGE SUSTAINED. !!UNPREDICTED!!” Panel 1 shows the humanoid feedsonas of Threat Assessment (TA) and Risk Assessment (RA) looking slightly upwards in surprise. TA looks confused. Right of that panel is a red panel showing an outline of a humanoid with a red dot on the left side of their torso. Panel 2 shows TA and RA from a different angle, with RA in profile and TA glancing down at it. TA says, “What was that?”. RA replies, “She shot us.” Left of that panel is another red panel, showing a woman with short dreadlocks in a ponytail and a determined expression pointing a recently-fired gun slightly to the left of the POV. Panel 3 shows TA holding a feed panel in each hand, glancing at one with one eyebrow raised. It asks, “The human?”. RA is looking to the left over a spread of four feed panels, its hands drawn up to its chest, looking worried. It replies, “I didn’t see that coming.” Panel 4 has RA looking forwards again, one hand on its arm. It says, “I didn’t account for -” Panel 5 shows TA asking “For what?” The bottom of the image depicts Murderbot standing, its back to Human One, who is pointing a smoking gun at it. They are in bright red against the black background, unbound by a panel box. A white streak slashes across the image from Human One’s gun, through Murderbot’s back. Red text underneath them reads “For us still being the monster.” /end ID]

introducing language module 💿

some design details: its design looks a bit more like clothes than some of the other modules - this is cus a large part of its function is for interfacing with humans, and the rough internal logic of my module designs is clothes represent some connection to humans. Also I wanted to visually depict “languages” somehow - my first thought was like, an angel halo of mouths. But i realised if I went that route I shouldn’t just do mouths - there’s a different timeline where Lan just has multiple rings of mouths, eyes, ears, hands, and letters, but instead I went with CDs. I think they also fit better cus they’re more inorganic, and align more with what languages would be to robots. Its hands are floating/detached as a gesture towards that initial concept, though. 

[ID: A digital illustration of a feedsona of Murderbot’s language module. It has a rectangular head, with slots on either side where CDs are half-way slotted in. More CDs are floating around its head in a halo. Its wearing glasses, and its design resembles a vest over a long-sleeved button-up shirt with large sleeves. Its hands are detached slightly from its arms, and it looks mildly annoyed. /end ID]

language module tomfoolery

[ID: a short comic featuring feedsonas of Murderbot’s language module (Lan) and governor module (Governor). Panel 1: Lan floats towards Governor in a reclined position, saying “Hello Governor! Which language shall I tell you to fuck off in today?” Panels 2-4: While Governor remains silent, Lan looks over its collection of languages, saying “CR Standard? A classic… One of those weird proprietary ones from TranRollinHyfa? New Ravi Hyral Standard? Maybe even-” and then Governor cuts it off, appearing disinterested and saying “Old Preservation language.” Panel 5: A reaction shot of Lan’s face, looking flat and confused. Panel 6: Lan, with its arm crossed, says “You know I don’t have that one, asshole” while Governor remains disinterested, looking away with all but one eye. Panel 7: Lan storms away, saying something in another language while flipping Governor off. Panel 8 & 9: Governor watches it leave, and then makes a cheeky expression of mirth. /end ID]
