Pin-Lee:

also Murderbot with Mensah:

In a world overflowing with sexual love contents, the relationship between these two, built on trust, feels incredibly precious to me. So I guess that's why I keep drawing these two.

I started reading ‘The Murderbot Diaries’ and watching the TV show almost simultaneously, so I'm used to imagining scenes from the book using the actors' images from the show. However, the books barely describe murderbot's detailed appearance, and since the protagonist murderbot doesn't explicitly define its gender, readers are free to imagine their own version of the murderbot. I think this is one of the coolest things about ‘The Murderbot Diaries’.

I thought murderbot's personality in the books was really similar to my friends' personalities(mostly female). They're obsessed with books, movies, musicals, etc., and always complain about their clients/customers in private, but they always give it their all. And they absolutely hate leaking(you know what i mean). So if I were the casting director for the Murderbot TV show, I would have seriously considered casting a female actor in the role of murderbot. (By the way, I have absolutely no complaints about the current cast. They are wonderful.)

While indulging in such fun imaginings, I've designed murderbots using some of my favorite actors as references and also sketched scenes where each actor performs as a murderbot. Please take it as just for fun.

1. Lashana Lynch

2. Mackenzie Davis

3. Diego Luna

I translated the short comic I drew last fall(with the help of a translator so please excuse any awkward phrasing).

Also like ART is *so* excited to have this feral construct show up on its door step. ART brings MB inside, bathes it, gives it medical treatment and a safe cozy space, and then tags it (with the comm receiver stored under MBs ribs) and sets it free to do its thing, hoping it will come back some day. It's like Tag-(neuter)-Release for stray cats. ART likes to dress it up and squeeze it and talk about it and show off pictures of MB to its humans...

Iris: Wait rewind. ART did surgery on you?

Secunit: yes

ART: Yes

Three: it was obvious someone did surgery on it, look how off model it is

(to humans, Three and Secunit look identical in body shape)

Ratthi: I kind of assumed you'd just grown out your hair

Seth: ART doesn't have the permits to do that kind of surgery

ART: it was consensual

Secunit: don't say it like that

Iris: what were the more extreme options????
