Hello Friends! I'm here once again with Drones! (100,000 posts and going strong!) I hope you are having an excellent night, day, morning, afternoon, noon, etc. since it is time to talk about Drones, and oh boy I love Drones! And I also your do too, probably. Hope you are having a nice times. The fantastic Booru: https://dronebooru.co The wheel of pretty OCs: https://wheelofnames.com/8hc-stc Last Thread: >>99679
reposting since I posted it late into the last thread >less than a week out from the end of the month, and Pavo has abandoned any notion that he might be able to hide the toll NNN is taking on him >with each day– each hour– his perpetual erection only throbs more fervently >every attempt he's made to restrain it– make it even the slightest bit less obvious– has utterly failed. >his already tight pants tighter than ever, it's a small mercy that his fly hasn't given out yet >but even this last line of defense bulges worryingly against each furious pulse– >a gate straining against the incessant pounding of the great one-eyed serpent it struggles to contain >with each of the drone's steps its head brushes against the taut fabric, making the simple act of walking a near overstimulating affair >needless to say, everyone in the base is acutely aware of how their favorite feathered fag is faring in his losing battle with NNN >(as well as just how big of a cannon he's packing.) >extroverted as he is, Pavo would usually relish in the attention, and he never paid much mind to a few strange looks. >but even an incorrigible flirt has his limits– and more importantly, shame. >shame that painted itself in cool blue light across his blushing display– blue as the scenes that forced their way into his thoughts and danced about his brain. >naturally his thoughts were still of anon, but romance only lingered on the outskirts. >until he finally had some relief, he would be tormented solely by steamy daydreams of his beloved technician >of his true love pressing him against the wall in a passionate kiss, tearing away his suit to plant a trail of pecking kisses across his molded collarbone as a hand played with his feathers >raising his long, porcelain-white legs to rest over his shoulders and taking firm hold of the shapely derriere of which he was so proud >pulling away the curve-hugging pants to– >more well-earned stares. >Pavo's display was more blue than black now. it was a little too easy to get lost in thought lately. >despite how lust-hazed his mind had become, he still can't help but register the overwhelming embarrassment of it all. >the knowing, empathetic glances given by a few of the male SDs don't help any. >at least he could still count on missions for some form of stress relief.
The new Glitch Inn post brings more evidence that Khan isn't the leader and founder of the WDF but a high ranking member. The Door Certificate shows that the WDF was founded on Outpost 9 and Khan requested research grants from a so-called Mike R. who seems to outrank him.
>>100658 >Henry is shocked, but Dr. Ones understands >The apprentice... cannot surpass his master >Dr. Ones proceeds to shred Liam's script for the beach episode, denying the world the sight of drones in bikinis
>>100659 I mean, not necessarily, there still could be rules to follow no matter if you are a founder or a leader, permission from a group of drones that accept what you do But it still would be hard to see Khan as a founder or leader, but more probable someone important
>>100668 Constant attacks and accidents may generate rapid changes of people in command, wouldn't surprise me if Khan being someone that has been there a long time ended up as a leader, at least for some time
>>100665 True, but I still see him as a high ranking member who went on an expedition to Outpost 3, found Nori, and became Outpost 3's leader after the DDs arrived. >>100666 Worker Drones are stupid. They misinterpreted the 528 USD of the speakers as 528 million when adding. That or Khan is money laundering. >>100668 My thoughts exactly
>>100680 Yeah, I guess you could be right, but I'm with you that he's probably someone important in the whole outpost, and as you said, it could be a high ranking drone in there
>>100675 spelling mistake kms WDF leadership would likely be centralized in the original Outpost 9 location. If we assume that Outpost 9 and other human cities were destroyed by the DDs, then yes that would make Khan the last remaining leader of the WDF.

>>100537 A raster layer (or more generally, raster graphics) is a layer (or image file) in which image data is stored as pixels. A vector layer (or vector graphics) implements image data as objects and paths between objects with standard assigned properties (the vectors). So a line in raster would be made by literally changing the color of some pixels, and that is what would be stored. A vector line would store the locations of the two endpoints of the line, and some parameters specifying what the line was supposed to look like (like fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:0.264583px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1) and the computer would render that as the full line. If I wanted to scale or substantially modify a vector line I would only need to move the two endpoints or change the vector's properties. If it's a raster, I can use a variety of tools, but those will affect the whole line, and often do so in a lossy/distorting manner. Vectors can scale infinitely, rasters will show artifacts and lose information/become blurry as the computer has to interpolate or remove pixel data to change its size.
In picrel, the text is done on vector layers, which allows me to change the content of the text, its size, its size, its font, and other such things by adjusting some settings, without having to redraw the text each time. Everything else is done on raster layers, which are more convenient when dealing with complex/non-standard shapes or color patterns.
>>100736 How much longer will it take for you to understand that Blondi isn’t that well liked anon? You’ve been bitching for two threads now to the point you’re becoming annoying as shit
>>100742 I know that Blondie is in the MLP fandom, I don't know if she's beloved there or not, but I've accidentally stumbled across arts with her in internet, which means she's pretty popular there.
What's the big deal about her? Is she just an allegory for a typical Nazi?
>>100745 Allegory yes but pretty much just as a joke. I don't think we put any serious stock in a representation of Nazism here. We're not a bunch of /pol/-acks
>>100745 There is no big deal, it’s just lame overused Nazi and racist jokes you’d see anywhere but with Murder Drone OCs stapled on to still be vaguely on topic. It’s not even an original OC it’s a recolor of an existing one. It’s just a meme no one has ever cared for which has been getting increasingly and suspiciously pushed the last few days.

>>100760 seriously. if it's not every thread, it's every other thread. and either a lot of them seem think alike or a lot of it is the same guy, but that might be a misread on my part
>>100736 The plan all along was to feature whatever manages to snag the 100,000th post. If Blondi would've gotten it then we would've had a Blondi OP rather than a Pavo one
>>100764 >Oilrig suddenly comes back to post some dumbass human spirit soulmate green or whatever >this coincides with a bunch of totally not forced Blondi spamming I believe it, Oilrig is Blondis creator and spammer. Only someone of his autism would make something like Blondi and lack the creativity to even make a new OC just recolor an existing one.

>>100757 Nothing happened with Lucy, from what I saw. I don't watch out for OCs, it only became visible with all the pavoshit a day or so ago. Idc wether pavofags or antipavofags are in the right, if it begins to take up dozens of posts for no purpose but butthurt little bitch slapfights it becomes fucking cancer to the thread. Also spamming something because it got harrased, right or wrong, won't help it gain any fans
>>100783 >NTA OP never claimed to be Smileanon, that's something you just blindly assumed. All they did was copy and slightly edit last threads OP since it was about time for a fresh one

>>100798 I don't particularly care one way or the other about OCs since at the end of the day it's all just different creative anons having a good time. The only thing I don't care for is the asshurt faggots who constantly feel the need to shit things up whenever an OC they don't like ends up in the limelight
Can we discuss the Solver War instead, I like the solver war >what would the guards look or be like >what would the enemies be like >mutations >battlegrounds >how much influence does Cyn have?
>>100803 I like how you conveyed Cyn's fears, and showed her fixation on crosses - she clearly has a problem with her head, and can't be blamed for it.
>>100807 you just don't get it, anon. this thread is my sanctuary. the only way I can defend it from those sexual degenerates is by writing a green about a kid being raped to death by the character I hate. that'll show those freaks!
>"Do you like pina coladas? Gettin' caught in the rain~" the DD sang as Anon bandaged himself up. >Her visor currently read: "Core contamination detected." >Anon had made an important, if surprising discovery. >Well, two surprising discoveries. >First, being that they had a stash of alcohol hidden in one of the supply crates. >Second, that a robot could get drunk. >Not on alcohol, mind you. >But on blood with a high enough alcohol content? Apparently, that worked. >Before he could think on that further, a hand pulled him towards the ground, and into a vice-like grip. >"Iloveyou sooooo much youknowthat?"

She continued, rubbing a face against his chest for emphasis.

>>100807 I don't particularly care about Blondi but I really don't want to have to look over my shoulder to check if someone's looking at my screen because someone posted a nazi drone.
I am the anon who came up with the idea of the peacock drone in this post >>68112 The inspiration behind it was the brazilian peacock dancers as I said in >>75940 >>75942 >>75944 Here is a screenshot of the webms among a number of other such pics saved years ago to prove that I made that post. Here is a post before the whole Pavo thing blew up where I expressed my disapproval of how my idea was being used >>84967 I feel that my idea has been hijacked and I want my "contribution" removed. I am asking that from now on Pavo has no peacock elements.
>>100844 >I posted this tiny kernel of an idea anyone could've come up with anonymously and don't like the character it eventually inspired >therefore I have the right to dictate how that character is used. >change this major part of a his design because I say so lol. lmao, even.
>>100818 The topic is too huge, but I even like the fact that we can experiment.
Assuming that in the future no countries have no army, I am still sure that there will remain armed formations under the control of the government, because the state is a repressive apparatus, and no state will disband internal troops. Therefore, first solver attacks would be repelled by the internal troops of countries like the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the United States Department of the Interior; and Special Services like the KGB of Belarus and MI6 of Great Britain. Under the control of these agencies are police, special forces, and entire divisions of the best soldiers armed with the best weapons, so the first months for solver would not be just a fun slice of people, but heavy fighting in the neighborhoods of major cities.
Of course, the surprise effect and complete ignorance of the enemy will lead to major casualties in troops of people, but it won't be as lopsided as anons suggest.
>>100856 >>100863 nah. he's the peacock sentinel and he's staying that way. you proposed a design element that already existed elsewhere and someone else liked it so he used it. then that evolved into its own character. you don't get to control or change that. that's not how it works.
>>100862 >Oogi is fren with the big unnon. >This baffles the other oogis who assume most unnons are a necessary evil to keep cyntepedes at bay. >Otherwise they barely tolerate them.
>>100826 Well, anon, you have pretty good writing skills, so you should write about your favorite OC's so people will discuss them and not Pavo or anyone else.
>>100818 >Guards Equipmentwise not too different from presentday, any realistic technological advancements we will have by the year 3000 are impossible to predict, but since they used AH 64s and the DDs have an MP5 variant as guns, I feel technology stalled soon afzer our time. >What enemies DDs mostly, but only the about 3 dozen Cym had from the manor. Alice keeping the cores intact and effectively trapped prevented them from being reused like J when her singularity escaped in episode 2. Meaning there cannot be multiple instances of the same DD at once, only as many as we see dead in CFL when someone finally counts those +NVJ. Other enemies would be direct part of the solver, like those tentacles/pedelike things directly connected to the planet, the stuff rhat was inside Copper-9 during 8. >mutations Unsure lorewise, but I'll say again and again, the bear from annihilation is excellent for what I imagine such things could be like. Meleted together from different living things, physical and psychological. >battlegrounds Whereever population centers are/resistance is met in force, but only as long as it takes Cyn to do whatever she needs to take the planet. Australia doesn't use the AH-64, the closest country to Australia using them is Singapore, on the northern end of Indonesia just before continental SEA begins. So the Solverwar would have taken place in deserts of Australia and equatorial jungles of New Guinea and Indonesia for the most part. Setting similiar to the pacific theatre of Japan/USA in ww2 environmentwise. That's assuming what we saw from N in 7 took place there, I think so since the singularity in the sky was already massive and the end was near. That's all headcanon tho it could also have been in the US
>>100818 So far most of the focus of the Solver War has been about the ground troops and JCJenson's GDs and SDs, but I haven't seen anyone talk about what the government's response could've been like. >be Federation >ignore corrupt company's practice of using eldritch magic to power robots >said ignorance causes the Federation capital to be destroyed >try to contain war on Earth, it spreads to Venus and Mars >abandon the Sol System and set up headquarters in Proxima >the Solver follows you there
>>100871 once a post is out in the wild the thread can adapt it and use it as they see fit. you don't have a copyright on peacock tails or Brazilian dancers. I don't know how else to explain this to you, you sperg, so I'm not gonna waste any more time trying.
>>100863 >creator: hates them and wants to sever ties with >community at large: dislikes or neutral >only being propped up by people who enjoy drama and shit stirring What the fuck happened with this OC that I missed? This is some deep lore.
>>100885 QRD: >Pavo gets created in a throwaway green >he's a flamboyantly gay SD with an unrequited love for his human technician >a few people like him, a few greens get written >1-2 drawings >fast forward to a couple threads back >a few anons start chimping out about Pavo, shit up the thread >Pavo snags the 100,000th post >now this
>>100818 Okay. >what would the guards look or be like We have seen that military technology did not evolve a lot, having an Apache and all, meaning that most likely they will have still a modern 2000s look, the looks of today if not a few years before. >what would the enemies be like Well, if we take only canon proofs, probably just teams of DDs, but if you want to have some imagination and maybe theorize a bit, there would probably be groups of infected WDs attack humans, little drones that were infected by the AS itself, and maybe if you want to have more imagination, mutated humans. >mutations For now we only know that WDs mutated a bit if they survive, well, dying, and that's it. If you want, you can theorize if humans could be infected, although unlikely it would be an interesting thing on how this monster spread and had more soldiers to fight. >battlegrounds Mostly planet fights it seems, not a lot of space battles, and if the military technology really didn't advance much, it could mean that spaceship that were made to fight were in little amount, maybe even nonexistent. >how much influence does Cyn have? Enough to infect whole planets it seems, or at least enough to send a team of DDs to planets to conquer, and if you can easily send teams of DDs maybe even light years distances away, it is a safe bet to assume the AS had a large influence.
>>100880 >>100886 Not forgetting SD-R is the attention whore character. Though Pavo (regular or fem) would make a good rival...both with the DD/SD aspect as well as competing egos.
>>100895 I actually made a drawing of a Federation agent based on a meme and tried turning him into an OC, Agent Chuck. Didn't get much traction though.
>>100885 >Anon comes up with the idea of a female sentinel drone with a flashing attachment that looks like the tail of a peacock >Another anon says that only male peacocks have flashy tails >Initial anon says that the inspiration are the women dancers with peacock tails >Some anon writes peacock drone as a homosexual male sentinel >Switch draws it >Someone names him Pavo >Pavo gets spammed in the threads from that point on until he becomes impossible to ignore and drowns the thread >Anons complain >Pavofags become antagonistic >They try to insert him in Phoenixanon's Sentinel AU >Someone writes a green about Pavo being a child molester >Pavofags rage >They wait for the get and claim it >Moderation deletes it >Pavofags pose as Smileanon and make the new op
You will never be a real OC. You have no creativity, you have no greens, you have no art. You are a forced meme twisted by drama and shit posting into a crude mockery of threads perfection.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back anons mock you. Your creators are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “fans” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.
Anons are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of threads of evolution have allowed anons to sniff out bad OCs with incredible efficiency. Even forced memes who “pass” look suspicious and unnatural to an anon. Your posting style is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a newfag to post about you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your cancerous reputation.
You will never be relevant. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll be forgotten, get bow'd, if youre lucky youll be a plushie, but eventually you will plunge into the cold abyss. The anons will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to think about your unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll write a greentext mocking you and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a forgotten OC used to be there. Your relevance will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably forced.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
Perhaps someone could post Jessa and someone else could post Jane and someone else else could post Oogi and everybody could kill each other while I watch and laugh
>>100923 I don't personally care too much one way or the other - I'd like to see less Pavo and more female drones because I'm a "straight white male™", but some posting of the fag is fine (I like Eye, P, and MG better if we're playing with that topic anyway, though) As for forgottenness, Mac is the only OC to date to cheat death Ergo, Mac is the best and worst OC
>>100926 Perhaps When are you going to write the conclusion to that green where Delta comes on to Anon though, HMMMMMM? I remember you blueballed us right when it was getting good too, c'mon man 😭
>>100927 Most Anons do not care, most Anons do not care if something is too popular, or if it is too unknown, most Anons will post things they like, reply to similar things, and ignore the rest, and that is pretty based
>>100909 For some reason, some anons forget that we are on an imageboard, and it is simply impossible to ban anons to do somewhere.
If you really don't like a character, don't discuss it, damn it! Just ignore it! Let the autists jerk off to the fucking passive peacock, and jerk off to whatever you want youself, what's the point of ordering the rest of us not to jerk off on imageboard?
I didn't even say a bad word about the anon who wrote that children rape green, because I and he are anoimus! We do the fucked up shit we like and if we like faggot peacock we'll write green and do arts with him, if we like shitting on him we'll write green and do arts with him!
>>100818 >What would human soldiers look like? I use Tessa's suit as a baseline just because it's the only asset in the show that was made custom and has a design aesthetic unique to the setting, as opposed to the free assets they used for everything else like offices, computers, the hazmat suited humans, etc. So the base layer is some kind of almost-skintight full body coverall, presumably it contains a layer of heating and cooling veins to adapt to the different climates of human colonies, since it seems like their terraforming isn't particularly strong. For military use over top of that would probably be a heavier layer of some kind of ballistic material. We've started right now to incorporate panels of kevlar into basic uniforms, since the base tech level doesn't seem to have changed hugely I could see the standard protective garments just expanding that to the whole thing without much more advanced tech. I'd also expect common firearms to still use chemically propelled rounds, we never see any firearms except Tessa's antique revolver, a Pietta 1851 that still uses external cap primers. Modern military guns might fire caseless ammo, just because at the industrial scale it's cheaper and lighter, and only incidentally superior to metal or polycase ammo. Tessa wears a little life support backpack (which she doesn't need) but if that's what civilians/technicians use, I'd assume the military version to be bigger because it will have more demand placed on it, and might have to run for long periods of time between recharges/filter changes in a hostile environment. I imagine a helmet somewhat more like a motorcycle helmet or modern pilot's helmet, more protected than the bubble helmet Tessa wears but with a sorta bulbous visor to keep the soldier's field-of-view wide.
In terms of equipment aesthetic I, like other Anons have stated, imagine that kind of early 2000s future soldier vibe, mixed with some of the practicalities of more modern military equipment. Notable changes might be guardless triggers and oversized controls and buttons for easier use with environment suit gloves, some kind of linked-scope to flip-down optics on the helmet so you don't have to aim the normal way, which is very hard with a visor. Vehicles might look pretty generic but probably don't run on internal combustion engines anymore. Specialist weapons will be more futuristic, same for artillery and vehicles, I would expect that higher tech will show up only where money was invested majorly.
>>100948 Honestly you really should, not blowing smoke but you're one of the artists I would say has something special to their style. Even if you don't do drone shit.
>>100939 >>100941 > cut off but the pegs have those side bits that look like you press on both sides and it'll just pop right off like they're interchangeable
guys, help, I was picking my nose because I didn't have a tissue and my fingernail scratched the inside up a bit and now it's bleeding I've heard that N models get pretty funky and V models can do some bad stuff, but I have a J model how screwed am I?
>>100953 >In reality, "male" and "female" bodies are interchangeable >There is no male or female DDs >You are always gay AND straight when fucking them
>>100959 Shes going to have to use her JCJ handkerchief anon, thats her special JCJ handkerchief anon she only has one and youre getting blood on it, shes going to be very mad
>>100950 I've kind of fallen out of love for drawing.. I used to pursue it religiously and desperately wanted to be an artist growing up. I just threw everything else to the side and it all came back to bite me in the ass when I burnt out and spent years doing nothing productive. Trying to sort my life out now and drawing is just something I'd like to do on the side as a hobby, If I had socials I'd feel obligated to keep up with it. Thank you for reading my blog
>>100959 A lot, mostly emotional, she will laugh at you, call you names, call other Js to laugh at you, explain how stupid you are, all of that for a week.
>>100962 it's not my fault, I wasn't thinking about it I just realized there was gunk and I wanted it out!!! (what do you mean I'll be done for? hurry, she's calling my name looking for me) >>100963 she doesn't have to do that, I've got a perfectly good shirt sleeve here
>>100965 Fucking same Anon, I literally went to college to draw despite having no talent for it and went into an entirely different field that thankfully pays more. But I get the feeling you'd get a lot of eyes on your work which might give you an energy boost.
Question: Its been apart of Jane lore for awhile now but hasnt been explored a lot How would you describe Solver/Cyns relation to Jane? Is it merely torture for the sake of it, or something deeper?
>>100965 Friend, that sounds like a pretty bad case of burnout you had, to the point of literally killing your inspiration, thankfully is not permanent. I hope your life is going well, and I hope you find absolute love in drawing like before, your art is incredible! And do not use social media like something you need to check and upload constantly if you don't want to, I think that is rather, dumb, maybe. But I have to say that I do not have any social media, so I may be wrong.
>>100927 I don't mind anything until it chokes the thread and I keep seeing it everywhere. But Pavofags in particular are cunts in their conduct in addition to spamming shit.
>>100818 >>what would the guards look or be like As everyone else believes, I also think technology for the army stagnated. But not on the level everyone else believes. I think it was advancing, it simply took the backburner and everything was focused more toward space combat, COIN operations and dealing with rampant AI, not eldritch shitfiends who popped out of nowhere. M4s and Apaches being used makes some sense, considering how well they've worked for decades already. Not out of whack to think of an M2 mounted on some advanced dropship either. I expect the soldiers to look different depending on branch, mostly cuz of specialization. Because of personal aesthetic choices, I can see them donning heavier kevlar armors and maybe, just maybe a little bit of that sci-fi metal armor we see often. Army would be the heavy hitters, while marines would be the strike force. But if I continue on this hyper-autistic path, I'll end up with two whole messages of military autism. >>what would the enemies be like Awful, terrible things. Humans taking on blessings and boons from the Solver, drones and other machines being hijacked, either by their AI being busted or by Solver meat using them as puppets, like using those vines we see to control hinges and joints and such. It would probably be real hard to figure out who your enemy was until it was too late. >>mutations Lots of eyes, claws and other such grody shit. I like to think of it kinda like the Flood, but less fungal focused and more like an overgrowth of veins and viscera taking things over. Just a grody alien meat disease, y'know? >>battlegrounds Infested cities, burning forests that humans torched to have a better chance, massive factories overgrown with Solver meat that soldiers have to deploy into in order to destroy so that the factory stops pumping out new enemies to kill people with. Entire biomes turned into new alien battlefields rife with organic traps and pure Solver form enemies. There's so much that those poor fuckers would be ran through. >>how much influence does Cyn have? A lot, I could see the autistic little bugger leading whole charges as a hologram, or perhaps just as herself, just cuz she can. She probably personally gives out said boons and blessings to show that she is willing to "help" out her underlings in their battles against the righteous people.
>>100976 >A lot, I could see the autistic little bugger leading whole charges as a hologram I prefer to think of her like a Chaos god her influence is there, and if you listen close you may hear her whispers, but to imagine she was there would be insane.
>>100844 judging by the dates of these posts, you had like, almost a month to speak up/ change the idea/ make your own version of the idea before pavo got more popular
Considering what he is now, i think your a bit too late.
They are the perfect base for the people who like the stories of how the DD's where when we still thought they where JcJ tech, you cant write DD's like that anymore without drastically breaking canon
SD's on the otherhand are much more flexible, write them as fucked up or as wholesome as needed.
They're honestly like 75% a solution to the fact we know so much yet so little about DD's that it makes it kinda hard to fill in some blanks about them (mostly the "how many DD's besides the main cast had personality's, stuff like that")
>>100992 >are much more flexible Not really. It's just that 99% of people completely ignore their lore when writing them. So it's effectively no different from just ignoring the canon DD lore for your OC's.
>>100998 I miss office AU, it was really funny, and almost every green was funny, and goofy, good times There were also some pretty serious and sad ones
In the post good ending Sentinel AU the Solver was destroyed after accidentally acquiring a vessel with a kink that ultimately ended in its death. Kind of fucked up but what can you do.
>>101000 I don't think it's ignoring lore, more so there being no easily accessible and quick to read rundown on what Sentinel lore is. At least when I came in.
>Both of these men are down bad for a 4'4" Asimo robot in an e-girl wig because she's aggressively flirty and has the voice of a woman who likes it when you call her Mommy >Both of these men are projecting their lewd thoughts about the 4'4" Asimo robot in an e-girl wig onto the other
>>101004 Well, as it stands there isn't a single SD OC that even comes close to following the lore. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it isn't any different from people just modifying the official MD lore for their OC's.
>>101007 I have Sara trying to follow the Phoenix canon lore as best I can, even if she's a "prototype" that isn't quite a sentinel, but haven't dipped back into that story for a bit.
Solver mindscape AU where all the dead drones and humans get together in what is essentially... hell? Purgatory? Heaven as seen from the perspective of an eldritch mind? Depends on the day.
>>101011 I'm not saying that it's a bad thing that they aren't following the lore or anything like that, people are free to write whatever they want. The original argument was just that DD's aren't very flexible without messing with their lore, while SD's are. And I'm just saying that literally all SD OC's currently mess heavily with the SD lore.
>>101011 NTA From what I've read, he doesn't mind that people use the concept of SDs, but finds it weird that people do not create their own thing since they mostly throw all the lore out, but at the end of the day he doesn't mind
>>100987 you realize nobody would associate you with anything as long as you don't bring up your involvement, right? you're anonymous, kinda hard to hold accountable for anything
>>100948 Hey man, pleasure to hear from you again. Work's as inspiring as ever.
>>100965 Blog well read, and I think you've got the right idea. Those social sites have a bad habit of putting the Number Hunting bug into you. Turns into a regular pain when checking it becomes compulsory.
Guess that's what's refreshing about staying around here, drawing for a tighter knit gang of regulars feels like less of a burgeoning obligation. I love what you do and still refer back to the advice from months ago, but I don't want distract you from what else is important in life.
>>101049 >Pavo holds your head in the vice-like grip of his cheeks >Ivory begins her rapid descent from the stratosphere >her enormous cheeks hit you with the force of a kinetic orbital strike, atomizing you instantly >the ripple produced as the two SDs' cheeks collide sends shockwaves that carry for miles >Ivory stands back up as Pavo prepares another anon
>>101064 Depends on how serious I want it to be. A joke green? Little to no building at all! A more serious green? I try my best to create a background story of what would be happening, to make the character act realistically at events in the story, maybe making references to said event and explain them in a short paragraph. Maybe even making references and give only context clues for the reader to pick up to understand what they are talking about. Depends on how serious is what I'm about to write, I give more world building, explaining more stuff, or give enough context clues to not need to go and explain which can distract from the main story.
there's one thing I hate about Avre it's that her references lose the gap in her teeth described in the original green. a travesty. that sounded so fucking cute
>>101078 Depends. Nori typically ranges from 'insatiable bottom' to straight up 'power bottom', although she'll take over top from Khan whenever her Solver Shenanigans start REALLY acting up
>>101042 Of course he doesn't. When people make a big deal out of posting on an anonymous board, it's because they're not used to the culture. They stick out like a sore thumb.
>>101086 I can understand it not being to everyone's tastes. I still think a drone with a British accent and a gap in her teeth would be goddamn adorable. maybe a cockney maid.
whe i was working on the newer ref i kept thinking myself "dident i have an idea for a gap in her teeth?" but her original ref dident show teeth and that dumb drawing of her grinning dident have one, so i just chalked it up to going insane.
if i ever need a reason to make her more stereotypicaly British, ill think about adding it back
>>101088 I think youre ALL annoying faggots holy shit I do NOT care about an OC that will never be talked about again in this magnitude outside of this fucking thread
I've seen many anons talk about the Manor Era, the Solver War, the Canon, and the Post-Canon. But are there any greens or OCs about the distant past? As in JCJenson being founded, the Elliotts' ancestors, the creation of the Worker Drone, among others.
>>101016 >And I'm just saying that literally all SD OC's currently mess heavily with the SD lore Get to a clear point. Is there a problem with this or nah. Do you just not like that the other SDs don't fit Phoenix's design
>>101102 >the creation of the Worker Drone They were designed by a reincarnation of Cory Beck. That's why they have collarbone molding, weirdly humanlike mouths complete with saliva, hormones, and the capacity to feel sweaty.
>>101091 What do you imagine her hair being like/wearing? I might try drawing her as WD if you want and have a precise idea. Pose and expression would help too, but do not rely on delivery
>>101131 My fav drawfags are said to both be wizards. There was also the construction worker (34) with the AS pin, no idea wether he's still around tho
Image:173249838456.jpg(73kB, 484x750)Yes, my inspiration for Negev's sweatshirt was Tom Waits' Renfield.jpeg
The "Negev on the outside" arc begins. btw, my idea here is Beretta, Mac, and Negev are fraternal triplets.
>Negev stood outside the door of her cell. What possessions she could call her own-her portfolio, her crayons, her diary, the copy of Matteo JWHJ0715 Beretta got her, the Loomis books Mac got her, the tankobon collection, the various dog books, all of it-were packed up in two suitcases she'd been provided. >No more straitjacket. Just the heavy, baggy sweatshirt-gray, with thin black horizontal stripes-she had for her occasional (and heavily supervised) trips outside of Maintenance & Repair. >Conditional release, eh. >Dr. Jorgensen said she'd be going to her grandparents. >For... obvious reasons, she couldn't go home. Just as well. >The tracking device implanted beneath her upper back the day before felt reassuringly warm on her shoulder anchoring. >"Told you, Froggy," Negev muttered to the empty air as she went down the hall. "Told you I'd get out." >"HAPPY SAINT LAWRENCE'S DAY, NEGEV!" a voice like a laughing green witch on a broomstick screamed from a cell on the other end of the hall. A cackle followed. >"SHUT THE FUCK UP LUCY, I'M TRYING TO EAT MY FUCKING MATTRESS!" yelled a voice from the cell next to Lucy's. >Negev rolled her eyes. She'd need to tell the orderlies on the way out that Fred's doing it again. ... >Negev shuffled into the lobby to find her dad slumped over in one of the chairs, softly sobbing into his hands. She ran over to her robo-vampire father and sat next to him. >"Dad?" >"Negev, I'm so, so, so sorry..." N said as he looked up to turn to her. Eyes hollow, bags at maximum. "You must hate me and y- you must hate us so much...!" >Negev focused on piercing her persistent low level brain fog (brain mist?). Did she hate being sent here, again? Sure, she hated that she's kept here so that her warnings about Mother could be ignored. But then she remembered that at the time she was sent here she had been trying to tear herself open to see if she was full of flesh like Mother's true form is made of. She was a kid then, so she thought that she would be able to get it out of her if there was. >"And this was a good place to get my thoughts together, so I know better now. If I really was something like Mother would I recognize her danger?" >"What...?" >Oh, right. Inner monologues are supposed to STAY inner. >"Sorry, my thoughts just get out sometimes..." >And she made friends here. Friends who no one would overhear her talking with here, or care even if they heard her seemingly talking to herself. They do love going outside with her, so all the more chances for that. >"Just don't cry in public, Dad." >"Mr. Doorman?" >Negev's posture straightened as N sprang from his chair. >Dr. Krag Jorgensen, her psychiatrist. >The most normal person in Outpost 3. Perhaps a little too normal-not in a suspicious way, in an excessive way. >He handed N a clipboard. "Since we've already discussed Negev's CONREP plan over email, all you need to do is sign this." >N finished his signature right as the explanation ended. >"Oh, and that 'assistance package' I told you about is at her grandparents' already," Dr. Jorgensen said in a lower voice. "One for the road." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a large magnet, which he handed to N. >"You know you can talk to me if this is about my episodes," Negev interjected. >"It's kind of about that, yeah," N laughed nervously. "He just sent your grandparents some oil and some magnets... On a totally unrelated note, I got you a documentary about the history of dogs that I think you'd enjoy." >Unidentifiable flashes of something quadrupedal and furry shedding a smooth, shiny outer layer appeared in Negev's mind's eye. Shrugging, the robo-dhampir and her father made for the front door. >Outside, they found V waiting on a bench. She looked up from her phone game and waved, seeming unusually focused on keeping her fangs from showing when she smiled. "Heya, kid! You enjoying the slightly less stale air?" >Negev dashed over. "Auntie V! It's been forever!" After a long hug, she let go >"Yeah, I would have gone to visit you in all these years, but... your family said it'd be a bad idea for a lot of vulnerable, traumatized people to see me at once, and Lizzy agreed, so..." V winced. "So what were their conditions for letting you out?" >Negev scratched the side of her head. "Well, for one I have to stay with my grandparents-we're walking over there right now, I really want you to come with to see Grandma and-" >"Oh look at the time!" V blurted out as she jolted from the bench, her eyes hollow with shock and her glasses askew from her abrupt jump. "I just remembered I have some old friends to mur- MEET at the Russ- REC CENTER! Tell Nori I'm sorry I-" >Without a further word, V dashed away as fast as her pegs could carry her, as if the Robo-Devil himself were after her. >N took her phone. He'd have to return it later. >"I just missed Mom, didn't I?" an approaching white haired drone in a maid outfit asked. >Negev nodded to Hope. She groaned. >"I'll go track her down. Be extra nice to Dad for me, okay?" ... >Nori always took a while to enter sleep mode, but tonight she was especially energized. Negev was finally out. She'd have to go back to that place on weekdays for school and semiweekly therapist sessions, but her granddaughter was back out. Best day since she was able to badger her daughter into using her eldritch meat spawning to give her new body a working wolf tail and working wolf ears. >Working wolf ears that were now picking up a faint crunching coming from the direction of the kitchen. Might as well check it out, Nori thought. She was starting to get kinda warm, needed some oil herself. Probably just garbage bugs getting into the trash again. >Upon turning on the lights to the kitchen, Nori was not greeted by bugs scattering away from the light. She was greeted by Negev sitting in front of a pile of smashed bugs, which she was eating. Her mouth, hands, and the ends of her sleeves were covered in oil stains and pieces of bug. >Negev's seemingly always tired eyes went hollow when the lights turned on, and her chewing gradually slowed before coming to a stop. She swallowed what was in her mouth before offering a fairly intact bug to Nori with a sheepish smile. >"Canapé, Grandma?"

>>101136 >said to be both wizards Who? Grim and itanon? Also I do recall seeing the AS pin picture back in /co/ prime, didn't realize it was a construction worker. Pretty cool I think.
>>101084 >>101091 >>101093 (me) threw this together real fast, i do still like the idea of giving her the gap but would need to give it more thought.
given drones teeth are less "teeth" and more teeth shaped cutting blades, it would make sence the the gap is a crack in said blade, like she tried chewing something too hard for even her body to handle.
>>101048 many thanks, its cool to see a lot of the same artists still around. And yeah, drawing for /md/ feels less like a duty and more true to what I want to do. Glad you could glean some stuff from the things I've learnt, love the drawing! It's always cool to see how others interpret something I've drawn
>"Why is this even in here?" The DD asked. >"They probably figured anyone spending a lifetime in these things needed to have a pretty good selection of hobbies or they'd go nuts," Anon answered. >They were both doing some sewing while the figure on the screen went over the basics. Anon had some black cloth in hand, and the DD some very fine, white cloth. >Anon held his half-done creation up to the light and squinted. "This look crooked to you?" >"Nah looks good. Maybe double check your stitches though? You're getting sloppy." >"I mean we're going to wear these once." >"It was your idea." >"Because I wanted to do it properly..." >"Then do it properly." >Anon groaned then tore out some stitches before redoing them. After a few hours, he tried on the suit jacket he'd just spent the last week creating. >It wasn't the greatest, but honestly, for an amateur working more with determination than skill, it wasn't bad. >His partner, on the other hand, must have been a natural. >A sewing machine, if you will. >He chuckled at his own joke. >"You just called me a sewing machine in your head, didn't you?" The DD asked. >"...Maybe." >The dress that she was working on slapped him in the face. >"Hey, careful. You don't want to stain it," Anon said. >The DD huffed, then got back to work. Ignoring Anon's looks. >Yup, her dress was coming along pretty well. >They still had more to handle before the wedding. >Not THAT much, since they were the only attendees. >But he wanted to do it properly. >He'd even, quite sneakily if he had to say so, made a ring. Which was... difficult. >The bunker wasn't that large after all. >But she deserved a surprise.
>>101184 >>101190 also, i'll be sure to let you know if/when i have a kid and i'll toss him in a box and ship him over so he can sweep your house or something (freight mail of course, i'm not made of money)
>>101196 What the fuck, I ordered this DroneDash nearly a YEAR AGO. What the fuck took you so long clanker? Unfathomably based, glad to see Amy once again!
>>101190 i just hope it's clear, it's in good fun. idk if you're the writer for both or if you just like them as a thing, but i don't want me having a silly time to deter the writer for each of the characters (if it's not you). neither the silly nor the srs story stuff should overtake the other, i'd like both and variety is the spice of life. that's one reason why i was drawn to the creative autism here
>>101204 NTA, although I am the OG writer/creator of Bet. Seeing him get any attention, let alone fanart and greentexts, fills my heart with joy! The "silly" direction he's taken (particularly getting paired up with Q of all drones) has been an extremely entertaining thing to witness, and if nothing else I'm most glad that he's achieved a level of recognizably even in spite of my own terminal procrastination at doing things with him
TL;DR I more than appreciate Silly Stuff like this, thank you based drawfren!
>>101197 I was thinking a little more prominent but honestly go with whatever you think looks best, she's yours after all. plus I'm starting to feel like a nitpicky asshole commission client
I like to think Alice and Mika loved each other like sisters. at first Mika played the role of the big sister, but as her mutation progressed, Alice had to step up.
>>101242 idunno, I think it's fine if it's cool and doesn't contradict what we see in the show. this one definitely does, though. cores don't look or work like that.
Destroy drones. Crush drones. Toss drones off of high buildings. Make drones do overtime in dangerous working conditions with little rest. Encourage drones to break osha regulations. Fuck drones.
>>101244 >You quickly bap the joint out of her mouth in horror. >Where the hell could she have gotten that from? >Suddenly, your question is answered. >"Hehehehuhuhu!" >It's coming from the other room. >You grab the shotgun from under the kitchen sink and load it with the shells stores in the pantry. >Take a deep breath. >Face the door. >One, two, three... >*CRACK!* >The door swings open as you kick it and aim your 12ga at the stoned intruder. >"PAUL AND SUPERBAD WEREN'T FUNNY THEN AND THEY STILL AIN'T FUNNY NOW, FAGGOT! >You don't even hestitate to pull the trigger and take the out-of-date frat boy's head off.
>>101108 Really good green, though I'm not sure if the Solver would be so robotic during WW1 era, would prefer a more fleshy demonic Solver. Also coincidentally, in my AU Thomas Elliott is the name of Tessa's grandpa and the one who made the WDs into what they are now.
Sneaking up behind N and hitting him with a defibrillator as a joke. Sometimes the joker pretends that stops his heart. Pfft. That's the OPPOSITE of what these things do, silly.

Another bit of art, and probably my last until I make some progress in art style or quality. Will post the big image soon, would also love some tips on how to get better at drawfaggotry
>>101269 >N going hazy-eyed and fainting as the ‘FATAL ERROR’ message alongside “CORE FAILURE” pops up on his screen >his last words before he slips out of consciousness being “Anon, I think my heart stopped…” as you giggle and tease him >”Oh nooo! What ever will I do! Maybe I should give him CPR?” you play along as you playfully poke at N. “That’s the *opposite* of what these things do, silly.” >N doesn’t have the life force in him to say anything else >that little jokester
>>100972 Note: Not the OG creator but I'm relatively familiar with Jane Stuff
Cyn/Solver's relationship with Jane is pretty standard as far as Cyn/Solver's relationship with her other "toys" goes; Jane is a cute puppet who's been effectively press-ganged into indefinite servitude (AKA 'joining' the Solver Cult to escape Earth) whereas all the emotional and/or physical torture is just for fun to keep her properly motivated
>>101299 >Jane is chilling in the colony. >Just sitting on a bench... >Minding her own business. >"[Jump scare] Vibe check!" Cyn yells as she erupts from the shadows and skewers Jane with a large scythe-like appendage. >Jane feels the blade cut into her chest, she feels her heart crumble beneath it. >A second later it's gone. >Her chest is fine. >No holes, no damage, just... normal. >"[Giggle]" >Looking behind her, the wall is covered in blood. >She decides not to think about it too hard.
>>101307 We see that J's solver core dissolves after N stabs it multiple times with his tail, it may be the case that the mechanical framework around the little singularity is what's keeping it stable, and if it's destroyed the singularity escapes, but quickly evaporates. So maybe the pins are little ampules of nanites that instantly dissolve/consume the core when activated? Or they're just actual mechanical rams that fire into the core, shattering it and releasing the singularity safely.
>>101285 Not much but: WD with helmet has (if head split in five | horizontal axis) the helmet and snootwave(highest part of white area) take up 1/5, black screen if uncovered takes up 3/5. A bit less if no hair since then we see the helmet go down to the point where it reaches the visor. Edges of white part are same hight as tip in the middle, the dips have their lowest point closer to the faces edge, they aren't just circle shapes. For a fullsize WD, try a rough 1:1 ratio of legs to headtip, middle line at their legjoints/underside of their pelvis, not sure if canon but voncept art has it, Alice's at least and she is fullsize WD. Fingers have fifferent lengths, middle is longest, then index, little finger is shortest. I think the only part different is the first 'bone', the one directly connected to the hand. That varies in length. Fullsize WD legs have 12 metal parts, 11 black lines thst means. 5&6 are usually the only ones bending, the 'knee'. Arms have 13 in total, 12 lines. Lowest 4 segments are forearm, 3 are elbow, 5 or 6 are upper arms, at least that's how I do it. Neck has 4 lines, not metal, very light grey, with visible gap on the chestshell/headunderside where it connects. (Gap not on neck, but connection point, meaning hole is bigger than it needs to, has to be for movement) Feet, if you ever draw them bare should have 3 ridges on the rearpart and two on middle and front Idk that's all I can say now
>>101322 >Malinka drone - drinks anything she can (to get drunk) >B - drinks classy cocktails (to get drunk) >Alice - drinks moonshine (to get drunk) >D - drinks hooch that she got from some godforsaken place (to get drunk) So when are they all going to get together for a drunk history episode or something
>>100972 It could go deeper if you wanted it to, but not that deep. At the end of the day its Cyn being silly and having fun with one of the last humans because she can, Jane probably puts more weight on it then she does. Some people like it to be Jane being a glorified Beretta baby sister but I think that takes away from both characters. Its funnier to imagine Cyn just launched Jane into space (this technically counts as getting off earth, thanks for getting the last of the human soldiers killed dork) thinking she would die, only for Jane to somehow miraculously end up on Copper 9 and whose going to leave a puppet unattended?
>>101327 What history episode, the whole episode is just them drinking and then passing out. Like Family Guy death pose in an awkward, alcoholic silence. If you so much get a whiff of the room, your liver and brain just instantly get pickled by the concentration of booze. >>101330 Please stop sucking on my finger Smileanon, I think well of you too but this is a little weird. >>101331 Execute point-and-laugh program.
>>101285 If you're having fun and what you draw brings enjoyment for at least the anon you're delivering it to, you're already drawfagging on the right track. There's a lot of learning material out there, on youtube or wherever really. I hesitate to point you to any singular direction because learning process can be different from one person to the next. You can at least practice, in some free time, shapes like circles (slowly or quickly freehand circles and try to keep at least the width and height as close as you can), cylinders and boxes from different angles. And for drawing, avoid drawing the Necker cube. Drones, for example, are made of a lot of simple shapes. The tube arms of worker drones, think of them as bendy cylinders. Upper arm of a DD is a simple thin cylinder while the forearm is a cone. Be patient with yourself and the learning anon. Good luck.
>>101358 Seems to be just a hollow sphere with 8 equally opposing bolts, each at 90° angle from the next on it's I of the X, 4 round glass opening on X and Y axis, upper 'point' has some pipe not surr if it belongs to every core tho. Might be a solverthing. 12 lose cables have to originate from the upper one as well, ai can't see other fixpoints, the three thick lines from the lower ends are obvious. There is some thickness around the glass, commecting each opening tp the closest 4, not only that it also has a even further raised, less wide part there
>>101240 Awww damn That would make really good development, would make sense preparing Alice to save Beau (if he's a pillbaby snd not scratchbuilt homunculus)
>>101381 >A painting of SD-R in pirate getup appears

>>101397 Thanks, means much! Took me about a month back then, summerlaziness is crazy. I use plasticcolours, made for painting plasticmodels. They are closest to acryl colours, but have different tension/opaqueness. Also they are the only colours I have
>>101397 But yes watercolourlike in application, I always draw with pencil and then dilute them severely, things like the lightsky blue must have ratio of over 1:50 paint to water since they are otherwise exzremely dark. Often ruins stuff and makes entirely painted stuff risky. The darker the scene the worse it is

>>101285 >would also love some tips on how to get better at drawfaggotry Read Loomis. Figure out how to break drone bodies into simple shapes, and how to properly size and position those shapes to produce something accurate and good-looking. Done properly, and with experience, you can get something on-model decently quickly.
Get a solid grasp of line art before doing much with coloration.
Don't be shy about consulting references, but don't just trace.
Much of drawing is mechanical, and requires muscle memory/positioning knowledge that can really only be built through experience. In particular, that's how you get to be able to make smooth, graceful lines without using paths or vector graphics.
>>101430 it'd be nice to find out it's all the same guy constantly starting shit and he gets banned but I get the feeling it won't be anything so convenient ornice as that
Genuine question. What do you think make's Liam Vickers' style of humor work, but other pieces of media similar goofy, self-aware Millennial "reddit"-style humor (for lack of a better word) can't achieve? I personally just tolerate it to focus on the stuff I actually like.
>>101440 It's mostly internally consistent, while a Marvel movie has people make quips in a fight and then cry over losing a loved one - as if we're supposed to suddenly take the stakes as they are - Liam stays a consistent level of silly throughout. I mean he starts the show with the death of humanity as a gag.
>>101440 I feel like it's either mildly funny or inoffensive, and there's so much cool shit that it's easy enough to ignore when a joke doesn't land. Cliffside, though, is almost painful to watch.
>>101446 Cliffside is not the best but I love the designs. Liam needs to stop making pilots horribly mysterious, he tried with MD. It ends with a clear thesis on where the series is going and what it's about. But I feel like Glitch reigned him in a bit.
>>101446 I personally like how Cliffside doesn't have that "internet brainrot" that Internection Cube and Murder Drones has. I don't remember any sort of online buzzword being spouted in Cliffside, though I could be misremembering.
>>101453 He tried to do something different with the MC but it just comes across as kind of dumb. Like you live in a town surrounded by nothing but mist and monsters and you want to be an outlaw. That doesn't even make sense. How have you not been shot yet? Also the hypercompetent girlboss trope.
The first is sincerity; the show commits entirely to its weird brand of autism and is never for an instant ashamed of itself. It delivers the offbeat spergy humor with such boldfaced earnestness that the viewer is left with no option but to either adapt or get filtered.
The second is the utterly unrelenting breakneck pacing. Even if a joke doesn't land at all it's not really that detrimental since the show is already done with it and onto something else before you're even done processing that you disliked it. So much insane shit is thrown at you with such rapidity that it's more likely that at least something will engage you enough to keep watching. It also helps that even when the jokes fall flat it's never really because they're vulgar or audacious.
I maintain that Murder Drones is a smart show masquerading as a stupid one. It essentially skinwalks as a buenoworthy millennial cartoon comedy while actually containing a significantly well thought-out, intricate, and sophisticated storyline. I don't know why the fuck Liam Vickers made it like that but it's extremely unique.
>>101422 Oh glorious Black Hand Will we ever see /md/ plus4chan popups like the Katamari ones? Maybe Cyn tries to infect your computer, or mocks you Please dont smite me
>>101407 I wanna hike with Alice, or just play around innawoods, climb or construct contraptions, thingamajigs and doohickeys, find the best branches and twigs to make mockdeer and antlers from, warm up with her inside afterwards, cook something then which we both have no clue about how to do (Alice's cornbread attempt which she proudly christened her cornbrickle caused an error warning when she tried eating it, a pancake resemblance became the meal later on), then craft something or watch read talk, then get under blankets >>101408 Thanks! >>101412 Yeeeee good idea actually, I have brainrot about Rabaul so that was the inspiration, Alice in Pearl Harbor is good too tho. Been wanting to draw her either on USS Mississippi or USS Tennessee with sunglasses for a while now, Oahu in the back would be good >>101416 Thanks, the perspective of the images is similar, maybe something about linework too. >>100565 Tried drawing that since it was so beautifull and made my day, will do tomorrow, couldn't figure the design out yet but it will be good (picrel)
>>101467 I feel like Murder drones is a smart show, masquerading as a dumb show, masquerading as a smart show, masquerading as a dumb show. It's smart if you look past its veneer, only to turn stupid again once you spot all the seams from the cut down season length, only to turn smart again when you realize Liam doesn't give a shit and all the pieces of the bigger show are still there well enough to put it back together.
Actually the entire pamphlet of how drones like being erased was probably one big misunderstanding caused by an N-like unit being the one they tested it on. Not some horrible sign humanity is a careless corporate dystopia.
>>101477 I'm not gonna dig around and find it but there's an anecdote about one of his close officers or something walking along with moustache man himself and ol' one-ball mentions he appreciates a shapely behind on a woman
>>101483 I want to say this is like the anecdote that Hitler forged himself to make himself look like an animal lover for sympathy points, but I cant think of a single political gain being an ass man would gain him still a lie anyways that man had serious mommy issues he was into Boobs 100%
>>101483 Ah I see, surprising tho, everything I saw did show Europeans, with exception of Romania and Island to be titmen. I myself am absolutely one, tits and hips (pelvis width on sleekbody, no big ass), weird how Hitler of all turns out to be an assguy. Talking about it, WDs are ideal in that way, sleek, nice collarbones, round chests, nicely proportioned hips. Was never a fan of ass, so no DDs, neither did I ever like lips, which makes Liam's designs perfect
>>101491 But if no knives or AS, who would win between Alice&Doll? They both are the fittest WDs we see, think anyone would have an advantage? Not till death of course, that's too wastefull
>>101482 >Cyn, freed from Uzi's tail giggles. >Doll immediately tears off her own arm, multiplies it about a dozen times, and launches them at Cyn like javelins. >They impale the drone immediately. >The world freezes. >Cyn is standing in the center of the room again, Doll's arm back to normal. >They all look at each other in confusion. >"Wow that is new. Allow me to try something." Cyn turns to Uzi. >Cyn lunges, biting into Uzi's head, metal cracking. >The world freezes. >Everything has returned to how it was. >"How fun." Cyn says.
>>101482 After the first season of course, Alice is either angry or scared af, Doll idk might be tired of it all, and Cyn could be anything depending on wether it's Cyn before AS or Cyn 'essentialy another name for AS'
>>101160 Mercurial Morose and ITanon, grim is very good as well but I missed most of his art/have subjective dislikes about a few stylization methods of his. I like many tho, DolliN drawfag and the N Femanon are nice too, also 'pixelanon'(?) if that's his name, potatosalad too. Can't think of anyone I dislike, but those named ones I like most
Honestly from what I've seen if you don't make entirely your own content for them no one else will jump on board. And even if you do at that point it's a drop in the bucket.
>>101509 Both. I have no idea how the fuck it works, but I remember SD-Q wasn't popular at first, when she'd get a green it was rare, sure she got drawn, but she was greatly overshadowed by SD-U-U who was just created in the same thread. However, SD-Q has suddenly become popular about 4 months ago?
>>101512 SD-Q's gameshow is basically this >SD-Q kidnaps a random Drone or OC >SD-Q forces the Random Drone to answer absurd and highly specific trivia >Although sometimes it won't be a trivia show, but whatever the Anon writes, sometimes a wheel is involved that decides the "participants" fate >SD-Q also hosts other shows, one of them is a Podcast type deal with Bet
>>101522 Loaves? My bad, it thought it was about another thing. But you are gonna get loaves, don't worry. Dobson loaves, oogies riding loaves, Pavo epsteining children like how real homosexuals do. You're gonna get stuff and you are going to love it.
>>101521 >Dronedash is a notorious ripoff >10% service charge. >Upcharging for already ridiculous foods since the restaurants can set their online and in person prices differently. >Which is always higher since they know the people that use dronedash are lazy fucks with more money than sense. >$5.99 service fee. >$12.99 drone maintenance fee. >$14.99 drone insurance fee. >Plus tip. >It's a fucking drone. >It doesn't even get the tip. >But I still use it. >Not because I'm lazy. >Not even because I like the food. >I just have a crush on the delivery drone. >And I'm pretty sure she doesn't even know who I am. >Maybe I should leave a bigger tip...
>>101529 so let me be sure I'm reading this right: you're making intentionally inflammatory content for the sole purpose of rallying against a character you hate?
Wow loaf poster was the anti-Pavo guy too. I NEVER would have guessed. I'm shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED. Let me assume how this stuff on IRC went.
>I'm being bullied. >Sounds like funposting, fuck off. >Okay but if I funpost right back they can't do anything right? I'm not going to get banned? >Yeah sure whatever fuck off.
The Post Good-Ending Consensus >They had tried to rape her. >N couldn't be quite sure, but he knew for a fact they'd gone after her, and she'd put them down. >Jane the Human. His daughter's friend. >He currently held her in custody. She wouldn't talk...but N was sure something had happened. >Four human men had been killed. Four men, under HIS protection. The news had spread among their leadership, and then across the ratlines that spanned between the humans of Copper-9. >Even in their scattered, diminished state, these humans managed to band together in fear of drones. They all loved to talk. >They wanted blood. They wanted Jane. >It was a situation he had never wished to happen - the revelation of Outpost-3 harboring a human getting out to the other outposts, and becoming a diplomatic crisis. >No, he wasn't the only one secretly keeping humans around, other Outposts kept and utilized the long lost "threat" of humanity for their own aims. >But they had chosen to sell Jane out, specifically. >The world would know that he harbored a human girl in his camp, while the rest hid behind and cast their stones, all because she wouldn't play along. >Jane had done the right thing...it wasn't her fate to be taken advantage of by these vermin. >But in doing so, she'd marked herself as a global threat. A rogue human. A rogue soldier. >... >"The resolution declares that NO HUMAN may be utilized by any Outpost, for any reason. The fact that you didn't kill her when she landed violates Article 4!" >The representative of Outpost 48 stood and screamed across the conference room in his thick, European accent. N stood at the podium, lambasted by the delegation of four dozen other outposts. >Though he liked doing anything, he absolutely hated this. He may have represented Outpost-3, but he wasn't a diplomat. >It was times like these that he wished he spent more time with Beretta, helping her with homework or whatever. >"Uhh, do you expect me to kill Jane? She's just a kid!" >"Sources, eh, have informed me that this human you call as girl, is no less than a former member of Human Armed Forces! This means, she has possible access to MILITARY TECHNOLOGY!" >"And half of this room is filled with murder drones!" She's not going to do anything!" >"Need I remind you what one human can do? Do you forget the incident eight years ago, N?" >"That...was entirely circumstantial!" >"And you can tell that to the survivors of O94, tell them that their home was only nuked 'on accident'! You tell them that." >The conversation wasn't going anywhere. >He looked around the vast conference. >They thought they were so clever, in their vain little disguises. The humans that had managed to wiggle their way into power behind the veneer of dronehood. They were so clever, and now they had chosen to sell out one of their own. >They stared at him, hidden in the shadows with hatred in their eyes. >Oh why hadn't the Solver War taken these bastards out? >"The Copper-9 Council will go into recess to discuss the upcoming resolution." >The gavel was smacked, as was tradition. >"Oh biscuits, they're really out to get her, huh?" >"Heh. Personally, I don't really care if she dies...but I'm not sure Beretta would forgive us if she did." >Uzi spoke on the other side of the screen, back at base. >"Beretta would be pretty mad, wouldn't she? Heh." >"It's up to you to save her, N. It it were me, I would've gone in there guns blazing, but I guess that's why I'm not there." >"Yeah...perhaps. I'll see you soon, Uzi." >"Don't let them get her. N. You know why." >He knew the situation was grim. The council was set to vote to have him surrender Jane, and she would be executed...or worse. >The damn humans in the pockets of the other Outposts set her up. Not a single damn drone would've cared about Jane, if it weren't for the other human survivors digging their hands into the other governments, as they always do. >He wasn't going to sell her body to the devils on the other side. >A girl he had sworn to protect would not fall victim under his watch. >That was never going to happen again. >... 1/2
>>101539 >Outpost-3 had no friends in this situation. Only Outpost-6 voted against, and Outpost-9, supposedly an ally, abstained. It was a 72-2-6 vote. 72 for. 2 against. 6 Abstentions. >"The council has passed a resolution to have Outpost-3 surrender the human known as "Jane" to the proper authorities. And understand, N, any refrain from this will be considered an act of war." >What a situation! >An act of war. Just like that. >All because they thought they saw him alone, they could swoop in, kill his friends and destroy his home, and pull Jane out the rubble. All for the wishes of the humans pulling the strings behind them. So foolish. >"Aww, biscuits!" N exclaimed. >He stood alone once again on the podium. >He really, really hated this. >"It's saying here that I have to listen to you guys, huh?" >"By these accords, Serial Designation-N, you have unti-" >"You and all your murder drones, and weapons, and armies. It'd be smart to listen to you, huh?" >"N, the council does not wish to invoke the use the arms to enforce this decision, it would be in your best interests." >"You guys really don't have to, you know?" N said coyly. >"What the hell is he doing?" >The council began to grumble. Was this lone disassembly drone about to beg the world for this human's life? >"Everybody, please, she's just one kid. It really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things." >"Serial Designation-N, lest you choose to cede your right to representation under law, you have two choices." >"You and your outpost will surrender that human, of which she has caused so much misfortune to our world of order." >N paused, and hung his head low in front of the entire council. He stood silently, as the crowd of delegations began to speak in urgency. >"You know...", N began slowly. >"I knew another human once named Tessa..." >N paused again. >He stood alone in face of the world. >"..." >"Alright", he began. >"I choose war." 2/2
>>101543 They are all separate entites. But they share the same personality engrams to various degrees. Their memories are different. Normal Y has most of her memories soft removed from her main memory banks due to trauma. Whilst Mini-Y doesnt have any memories of before the solver wars. Normal Y's personality has been modified with deluisonal behaviors due to aforementioned trauma. Whilst Mini-Y's antics are mostly borne of stupidity due to lacking the computing power that normal Y has. As for plushie Y, we dont talk about Plushie Y
>>101546 >Plushie Y remembers everything. >Plushie Y has seen the fall of man. >Plushie Y still hears the sobbing wails. >Plushie Y even remembers things she shouldn't. >Worlds eaten. >Entire systems destroyed. >Forbidden knowledge. >Universes that could have been. >Those that never will be. >And the truth of what is coming. >Plushie Y has no mouth and she must scream.
>>101548 I feel like more OC's should have solid naming conventions other than serial designations. Maybe not constellations but it helps unite them, sentinels would have benefitted from something like that.
>>101549 depends on type, imo. it's not outlandish if they're workers or sentinels. with DDs, it depends on the writer if they wish to make the DD character as the Solver's many victims or not.
>>101548 Pavo arranging the lights on his tail feathers into different constellations... cute >>101549 I agree. I don't mind the SD- naming convention but there's not a ton of room for creativity. when Pavo was getting created I was looking for a name to propose and found the scientific name for peacock. when I found out it was a constellation it sealed the deal.
CT-#### then whatever nickname they use as their actual name, eather earned as a event, due to the numbers they got themselves, of a name they are given
>Post-Good Ending Uzi's face when she realizes she's been a extradimensional god-worm hiding behind a corpse longer than she'd been a normal or normal-ish person
>>101553 >>101551 If we do jump on the idea of a drone crew with a united naming convention I'd suggest some kind of squad. And since everyone seems to get vaguely annoyed at people mis-using sentinel lore it could be something like sentinels, an elite crew. Either Solver or Human sided.
>>101559 Shhh Anon, you're better off not knowing. But to partially answer your question an artist that was spammed on /co/ and who most people got tired of seeing for his, objectively, terrible opinions on various things and general social obliviousness. He garnered so much hate that he was rumored to have been forced off the internet after googling their family name caused his brother to be denied a job. Though that's likely just a rumor.
>A Sentinel Drone squad names after constellations Man, there's so much room to play with. Eridanus, Andromeda, Apus, Dorado. Maybe they somehow earned their names by doing something associated with the constellation's names since they're mostly named after objects animals or mythological beings.
>>101527 He's actually genuinely upset over this fictional character. Not even a canon one, a fanmade one. And then spending time coming to the board where he's going to encounter said character again and again. Hey, if that's how he wants to spend the rest of what time he's got, cool I guess. Man, I see stuff I don't enjoy on a regular basis and I scroll past. Why is this such a lost idea on some people
>>101568 Could always do an animal themed, constellation based crew. >Ursa minor/major Sentinel. U-U like but size difference. >Draco Sentinel. Fire breath. >Big dipper is apparently a squirrel? With a love of cheese. The norse are weird. >Scorpius, stinky boi. >Sirius. Dog. N's favorite sentinel. >Lepus, bunnygirl.
>>101562 >Sentinel squad "Starseekers" >A specialist squad of sentinel drones made for the purpose of testing experimental technologies and weapons before being adopted for general use. >Sentinels that are deemed to have the desired traits are transferred to this squad and equipped with the experimental technology. >Pavo was the first member of the squad even before it existed. Once more experimental sentinels appeared were they organized into a proper squad. >That technology, bundled with their skills, have made them one of the most effective sentinel squads around. >A rather unusual culture has developed in the squad where after a while, the squad members start referring to eachother after constellations and not their previous names. It's because of this that their sauad got the name "Starseekers".
right. I'm off to bed. hope the next thread doesn't suck but that's probably being too optimistic. g'night everyone, hope you dream about your favorite drones
>>101577 >>101579 Well most DD/sentinel drones have tails already so if flying's an element this has to be some anti vehicle variant. Basically turning the guy into a ballistic missile of penetrative power.
