A relatively messy study/fanart for project hail mary, the last month has really awakened my inner space loving child again

Any whatever you do, do NOT think about the little Eridian schoolkids who go there on class trips and play in the water in their special exo-suits and listen to lessons that Grace pre recorded while he was still alive and become inspired to be biologists and astronauts and teachers themselves.

Secondly, do you have any more thoughts or info on your android Cain or about the au itself? I got super invested the moment I read it lol. :) I'd also love to hear any tadc headcannons/theories in general that you have to! (No pressure ofc, just wanted to lyk how captivating your art is! <3 )

TYSM for your interest💖!! I’ve been having way too much fun building this AU with a friend, so here’s a short little lore dump for DBH AU:

Pomni: a rookie Detroit police officer (kinda Judy Hopps-coded). She’s assigned to investigate why a circus-themed amusement park project suddenly shut down. There’s something shady going on with the company behind it: C&A Corporation.

Caine: RK057, the first prototype android created for The Amazing Digital Circus amusement park project: once Kinger’s proudest and most anticipated creation——only to be suddenly abandoned in a C&A office building.

Pomni later stumbles upon him during an exploration in the old office. She reactivates him by replacing his severely damaged eye with a green one (inspired by Markus' plotline!) Later, he ends up becoming a key witness of uncovering the truth behind the case.

Kinger parallels Elijah Kamski: the scientist who created Caine, was planning a huge, ambitious circus amusement park, then suddenly vanished from public view years ago. The project ended just as abruptly.

Ragatha, the daughter of a local Gang leader, saved Pomni when C&A’s hired pursuers put her in danger and points her toward Kinger: Ragatha's family had dealings with him in the past.

Gangle runs a fast-food restaurant as a cover, but is secretly a well-known underground android mechanic and can fix almost any broken androids

Jax parallels Gavin Reed: he really dislikes AI androids and constantly gives Caine a hard time. Fortunately for him, the DPD Chief Zooble assigns him an android partner anyway: RH570-Bubble, lol

Moon & Sun: they mirror the two Tracis androids who committed the Eden Club murder, this will unfold much like DBH’s original storyline

PART 1 | PART 2

So much to share! I need to come up with more details to design the rest of the crew…

Also.. have a WIP of human Caine! I know people want to grab him by the waist.

me too.
