The Murderbot Diaries - Artificial Condition

1.

Let me in, ART said, as cool and calm as if we were discussing what show to watch next. I had never given ART full access to my brain. I had let it alter my body, but not this. We had three seconds and counting. My clients, the other humans on the shuttle. I let it in.

[ID: a digital drawing in orange and blue. Murderbot is shoving to its feet in an apparently empty shuttle, holding on to the back of some seats. Murderbot wears wide pants with pockets and a hooded jacket. Its head seems to be under water, its hair floats and its eyes glow bright blue, as if the upper part of the drawing was a wave of water. The part of the image outside the bubble is in orange hues. /end ID]

2.

Calm down, ART said, not helpfully. I was too frozen to respond. After three seconds, ART added, She’s frightened. You are a reassuring presence.

[ID: a drawing in deep purple and yellow, showing two people in a small room. From a top-down angle, Tapan can be seen curled up and asleep, facing Murderbot. She wears shorts with tights beneath and a hoodie, her hair is in a bun. Beside her are her shoes, a backpack and some other supplies. Murderbot is sitting up and looking down at her, and is dressed in pants with many pockets, a hoodie, and boots. Yellow light shines in from underneath the door. /end ]

Oh my god I want to look at this for an hour and on a biiiiig screen and just fucking wow.

A while back someone drew ART’s feed presence as a dragon and it has lived in my head rent free, so here’s my take on feed dragon ART :D

[ID digital art of Murderbot and ART watching media together in the feed. MB is sitting in a chair on the lower left of the canvas, it is coloured gold, wearing cargo pants and a jumper and has bird like inorganic feet. It looks up to the right at several golden curved screens, the largest one showing media of a person in a spacesuit. ART is shown as a large blue and gold dragon with many golden eyes, it is covered in stars and is also looking at the media, from over Murderbots shoulder]

I especially like about this piece of art is MB’s averted eyes. It’s constantly reminding us that it avoids eye contact but not every piece of art can prioritize that aspect of its affect, so it’s striking to see the emphasis.

One of the best moments in the whole series. Based on below:

Holism’s EYES. I love this

A digital illustration of stylised feedsonas of ARTdrone and Murderbot sitting in the feed. ARTdrone has a straight, stocky body and limbs, and its legs end in flat stumps. It has a flat cylindrical head with two antenna coming off the top and one large eye. It has light blue markings on its cheeks, lower legs, outer thighs, chest, and hands. Murderbot looks more humanoid, with a round head and stylised hair, as well as an oversized grey hoodie. It has grey markings around the back of its head, on its lower legs, and in a band around its neck. Murderbot is sitting with its hands in its pockets and its knees drawn up to its chest, looking at ARTdrone with a slightly annoyed expression. ARTdrone is lounging with one arm leaning on Murderbot's shoulder. Murderbot is saying "will you shut the hell up?". ARTdrone replies "you shut up."

A digital illustration of stylised feedsonas of Murderbot, ARTdrone, and ART in the feed. ART's feedsona looks very similar to ARTdrone, except taller and lankier, with a cuboid head rather than a cylinder. Its markings are a darker blue, but mostly the same shapes in the same places. It has markings on its elbows instead of its hands, and around the back and over the top of its head. Murderbot stands, slightly hunched over, supporting ARTdrone's body with one of ARTdrone's arms pulled across it's shoulders. ARTdrone has chromatically aberrated glitchy spots all over its body. ART is kneeling in front of them both, one arm leaning on its raised knee, the other outstretched to ARTdrone. ARTdrone is dropping a data chip into its hand, and asking "which base ship?". ART says, "guess." ARTdrone replies, "it's holism isn't it. oh joy."

A digital illustration of stylised feedsonas of ART, Murderbot, and Holism in the feed. Holism is taller and broader than ART, with a spherical head and three eyes. It had a number of circles floating around its head, and a single antenna poking up from where its ear would be. It has pink markings on its collar, waist, forarms, lower legs, outer thighs and upper arms. The markings on its legs are vaguely the same shape as ART's, except rounded rather than pointy. Murderbot stands in between them, looking at some feed screens, and asking "ETA on shuttle arrivals?". ART stands on the left, arms crossed and shoulders hunched, glaring at Holism as it answers "7.32 minutes." Holism is standing on the right, arms behind its back, bowing slightly and looking at ART with smug satisfaction as it answers "7.3247 minutes."

The first page of a comic featuring feed visualisations of Murderbot and ART-drone. They are both humanoid, with Murderbot in a grey hoodie and ART-drone with a cylindrical head and light blue markings on its cheeks and chest. ART-drone also has two antennae on the top of its head, and two rounded rectangles floating above each shoulder. In the first panel, Murderbot is surrounded by a spread of feed panels, frantically looking through them. It says, "We have to make them leave. We can't let this happen to them." Behind it, ART-drone crosses its arms, saying "We can't force them." The next two panels show ART-drone with one hand behind its back, holding up feed panel of multiple pages, then closing its hand and dismissing them. Its saying, "It's against the University's charter. It is immoral."

In the top panel, Murderbot looks back at ART-drone, with its hands up and pointing forward. Its expression is angry as it says, "It would be kinder to kill them." ART-drone looks annoyed, responding "It would not." In the bottom panel, ART-drone starts with one arm behind its back again, its other hand bringing up an array of feed panels. It says, "Not unless they were in physical extremity with no hope of medical intervention, and even then, they would have to agree to it." A cut-in panel in the corner snows Murderbot's face, its head tilted slightly, looking extremely annoyed. In this panel, a thick line around Murderbot's neck, like a collar, is visible.

The top panel shows ART-drone with its arms crossed, looking over at Murderbot with a raised eyebrow in a doubtful expression. It says, "Would it have been kinder to kill you," finishing its sentence in the lower panel, "before you disabled your governor module?" In the lower panel, the background is a darker shade of blue, surrounding Murderbot at it stares at ART-drone with an angry, somewhat disbelieving expression. Its hands are up in front of its chest, defensively, as if it's recoiling.

In the top panel, taking up a majority of the page, Murderbot has its hands raised, palm-up, its shoulder hunched, fingers spread. Its expression is angry, but also desperate. Small beads of tears can be seen in the corners of its eyes. It says, in all caps, "YES." In the lower panel, Murderbot and ART-drone stare at each other. Murderbot's body language has slackened, its expression flat and wary. ART-drone still has its arms crossed, but its shoulders have dropped, and its eye is wide with surprise. Its antennae are pointing straight backwards. Behind this panel, the background turns to black.

This panel takes up the whole page. The background is black, and Murderbot and ART-drone are rendered only in grey and blue lineart. Murderbot's arms are crosssed, its shoulders hunched. Its fingers are digging into the fabric of its hoodie, and its looking down and away from ART-drone. Its expression is angry and hurt. The line around its neck now has long, thin spikes that point outwards in all directions. Behind it, ART-drone stands with its shoulders slumped, holding its upper arm. Its looking at Murderbot with a resigned expression. Instead of the rounded rectangles, it has an array of differently sized eyes. It says, "You know I am not kind."

The background is back to pale blue. In one lower corner of the page, Murderbot slumps to the floor, one hand over its face barely concealing a frustrated expression, the other pointing out towards ART-drone with the middle finger raised. It is alone on the page. It says "fuck off," and the text is slightly tilted.

In the top panel, ART-drone is looking down towards Murderbot, shoulders slumped, a slightly worried expression. The middle panel shows Murderbot curled up with its head on its knees, and ART-drone's legs walking towards it. The last panel shows ART-drone sitting down next to Murderbot, not touching it. It pulls up an array of feed panels with one hand, looking bored.

A thin panel at the very top shows a sliver of Murderbot curled up in a ball with ART-drone sitting next to it. Then, under it, a series of three panels shows Murderbot with its head buried in its arm, then raising its head slightly, frowning, and then raising it more with a look of soft realisation and concentration. Behind these three panels, the background changes into a darker blue, the transition at an angle, making a slowly rising line behind them. The bottom half of the page shows Murderbot, half-uncurled, one hand on the floor behind it and one hand raised slightly in front of it. Its expression is of intense concentration. Behind it, an array of textboxes spread out across the frame, lines connecting them like a conspiracy board. They read 1. "murderbot_2.0", 2. "helpme.file", 3. "secunit_3", 4. "log extract: SU3: i will still help you. ART: why? SU3: stories in the helpme.file." 5. in italics: "what do you want?", 6. "curated logs", where the "curated" is underlined. 7. "sanctuary moon", 8. "Bharadwaj's documentary" 9. "tell your story," 10. "tell their story."

Feed panels show a video labelled "helpme.file", another video labelled "SM-S4-E23", and a chat log. The panel next to it shows Murderbot pulling those panels up in front of it. Below this, Murderbot sits with a concentrated expression, a large array of feed panels spread out in front of it. ART-drone is sitting beside it, and glances over. The panel at the bottom shows ART-drone looking intently at Murderbot. Behind it, feed panels show a query ping from AdaCol2, a drone camera showing Tarik waving his arms and saying "Secunit?, and a chat log from Ratthi saying "SecUnit? Is everything alright?". ART-drone holds up a hand, saying "Wait."

Murderbot and ART-drone are sitting on the floor facing each other. Murderbot has an intense expression, and a fist clenched in determination. ART-drone is staring at it with an expression of open curiosity and mild surprise, looking slightly off-guard. Murderbot is saying, "I had an idea."

We need media, visual, audio - we'll need music - and text. We had to hit them with everything.

still not over That conversation from System Collapse. what a two-hit combo. what a scene. chefs kiss 🤌

This is fucking AMAZING MB fan art.

I love the galaxy interpretation of ART, especially. Wow. Gorgeous.

Murderbot Diaries Art Dump

P1: Murderbot sitting in front of a porthole, the nebula shining outside has a pair of star in the same star system. ART is showing murderbot its analysis of this system. It is implied that their relationship is akin to that of the star system's. also just a side note, i imagine that if ART actually has an eye, it will look something like the nebula shown.

Partially inspired by Volatile Stellar Relationship (by discodaemons), i actually started thinking about drawing mdb in front of a window and somehow encountered this fic and i LOVE IT!!!! This can be seen as either friendship or not.

P2: My first impression of Murderbot in its repair cubicle.

P3: Miki the little angel bot sent by cyberheaven 👼

P4: Humanoid!ART launching missiles. the design of humanoid is from fishoyor on lofter!

Uh Hi. I Wanted To Illustrate One Of The Introductary Scenes For SecUnit's Character, Since That Would

uh hi. i wanted to illustrate one of the introductary scenes for SecUnit's character, since that would go along well with this being kind of my first post here. i... think that makes some sense. i promise more Murderbot diaries fanart after this (calling it content feels icky)). (did I start overusing brackets becouse of these books? possibly).

and i hope i captured SecUnit freaking out while trying to keep its composure at the same time well. as weird as it sounds, i like seeing depictions of it being nervous, becouse this side of it is what got me to relate to it so much in the first place (besides the heavily implied neurodivergence. though i guess the two go hand in hand). examples: in the second panel of the second page i tried showing how Gurathin's words affected it by making the speech bubbles visually "choke" (?) it, though it kept its face straight. oh, and i made it look much shorter than it actually is to mirror the way it is feeling!! figuring out details like that was pretty fun

(i'm sorry for any inconsistencies and the messy colouring and linework, i have ADHD and i get incredibly bored when i spend time trying to make everything "perfect" and looking the same in each panel... )

SecUnit and Mensah's reunion, the whole scene was utterly delightful. Just look at this. “That she understood this much made me melt. I hate that this happens, it makes me feel vulnerable… I hadn't been afraid that she wasn't my friend, I had been afraid that she was, and what it did to me.” Exit Strategy, p 115.

(Some semi-relevant rambling under the cut)

I'm sure there's a lot of commentary to be made about this part of the book and Murderbot's emotional development there, but let's just say I'm not the person to do that. It's a bit too personal for me because of how much I relate to Murderbot. Still, I felt the need to acknowledge how good and well-written this specific thing is. Sometimes I see, on my feed, people making analysis and notes of this emotional side of the books and the relationships in it etc. and I eat it up every time. It's great that there are people who can talk in detail about these things that are only just passing thoughts for me, if that makes any sense

My only addition here would be that I think Mensah's character is great. If I'd been in SecUnit's position, she'd be my favourite human as well, and I'd totally get blood on my hands for her ha… I feel similarly about a few other characters in the series, but I'm sure I'll devote posts more particularly for and about them some other time
