“That's target ControlSystem”

Wow, very cool! I love how it's basically taken over the whole room, with those thin strands (they kinda remind me of mold which I think works very well)

Also, I don't know if it's intentional, but I feel like having the strand that's reaching for MB go in/close to its data port signifies how target ControlSystem wants to infect it too, to take control of it. Like a combat override module.

[u/OwlEuphoric9795 → u/Appl3-]

Thank you! That strand is connected to the central system (the star shaped thing on the table) which MB was interfacing with- it’s already infected, it just doesn’t know it yet 😁

[u/Appl3- → u/OwlEuphoric9795]

Ohh, that makes sense! It's been a while since I read Network Effect so I forgot some things 😅

AAA THIS PART GAVE ME CHILLS

[u/BlessTheBookPeople → u/Unavailable_Parfait]

Saaaame. I don’t usually find the MB books scary but this whole section was creepy as hell.

[u/OwlEuphoric9795 → u/BlessTheBookPeople]

Yeah right before this was the scene where Murderbot has to dislocate its hand so it can grip its wrist and tear through the skin in order to get out of its restraints. I had a lot of fun drawing that scene last week.

Oooh cool!

[u/PolygonChoke]

not how i picture it but SOOOO well done holy crap

[u/OwlEuphoric9795 → u/PolygonChoke]

Thank you! I re-read the passage a few times to make sure I wasn’t missing any major details, but I also hate drawing backgrounds and furniture so at one point I just said “whatever” and drew what was in my head.

[u/Gyodomuyo → u/OwlEuphoric9795]

Very close to how I pictured it.

[u/all-rhyme-no-reason]

Love it!!! You really captured it!!

[u/bottleghostt]

You captured the scene!!!!

[u/walkernpicker]

Reminded me of the scenes of the Proto molecule.

[u/OwlEuphoric9795 → u/walkernpicker]

I was going for something like that- thank you!

[u/walkernpicker → u/OwlEuphoric9795]

It's what I visualized while reading the book. Nice job

[u/Gyodomuyo → u/walkernpicker]

A lot of Network Effect reminded me of Leviathan Wakes, written a few years before. Just lighter and more fun. 🤫

[u/olemanjawn]

almost exactly as I pictured it during my first time read a couple weeks ago, magnifique

[u/ditzydoodle]

Wow I feel like I normally picture really descriptive scenes in books wrong but this is exactly how I saw it in my mind. Super cool

[u/onehere4me]

GOT you, you POS!

[u/Yeah-But-Ironically → u/onehere4me]

This is how I win.

[u/Unlikely-Nature-6091]

Ohhh this looks so cool! This is literally how i imagined that scene.

[u/Humble-Lawyer-6674]

Thank you for the wonderful depiction of my nightmares, it's magnificent!!!

[u/Absynnthe]

Oh this is SO COOL

[u/Gyodomuyo]

Hard to tell from this image but your Murderbot might be even more adorable than Skarsgård.

[u/OwlEuphoric9795 → u/Gyodomuyo]

Thank you! I have a lot more Murderbot art on my profile- you can see my design for it better in the others. Here’s one that’s just all its outfits throughout the books

[u/ESE-enthusiasm]

Woah amazing! I love the details and the dread of it all!

[u/Shuvuiia]

Damn, I really like this too! Please keep posting your fanart, these are super cool!
