"COLLEGE IS OVER!!!"

Hai everyone, small announcement to make, I GRADUATED COLLEGE!!! No more finals and assignments taking up most of my time anymore!!

Just a heads up that even though i have a bit more time now It most likely won't stay that way forever as I have to look for work BUT, I can spend a bit more time on this project now -w- I hope everyone has been well!

On another note I most likely won't be finishing those character profiles all in one sitting as I have other things to work on and figure out now, so for now progress on this au will be very very slow as it is not my main priority because of how much time i have to dedicate to it! Just feel free to come back and check on this little tumblr blog every so often so I don't down your expectations!

With that I wanna thank you all for being patient with me and I'm trying to be more with myself! Have a good one!

"Profile Reveals [1/3]"

Hai all! It's been a bit, but I'm back with new character profiles! I decided to show off the new Disassembly Drones both because there are only 3 main ones, and to kinda get a feel for the design profiles I wanna make for the workers!

First in the category of 3 are the main antagonists(?) of the reimagining, though, can you really call them villains? V might qualify, though XD

Next up will be the main worker drones! Take a look and lemme know your thoughts, suggestions, or critiques!

See ya next time! Peace!

[Also, yes, my style of art has changed once more! Lemme know how you all feel about it]

"Progress & A03 Help/Customization"

Hai all! It's been a few days, and I've made much progress on the new character profiles for most of the characters! Got a good bit left to go before I begin reworking old chapters and adding new ones! Feel free to take a look at the character profiles, there's a bit of lore in each one ^^ (Emily's profile isn't shown here for lore reasons, and Penny's isn't completed yet!)

While working on the profiles, I also noticed that I could create site and work skins for A03 to customize everything! I tried using the wizard, thinking it would apply to both site and work, but it doesn't T-T If anyone has some tips or could give me a guide on how to re-create the skins I made for the site section, I'd be very grateful!

These are the skins I created. I wanted to make 8, but I stopped at 3 for now! Hope everyone's having a good week! I'll see you all next post!

Peace!

“Let’s get you fixed up, yea?”

Hai all! Been busy these few days with real life commissions so I figured I’d show a bit of my concept art and what I’ve been working on, or who ^^

So I posted this a few days ago and was really excited for you guys to see it though it didn’t get as much interaction as I hoped, so I’ll kinda explain a lil bit: This is my iteration of the absolute solver, or CYN.

I was looking through Pinterest and looking through notes I made for myself and had the idea to base the A.S on old doll designs from the 1960s.

That was my initial goal, however the doll design didn’t really serve well as a initial design for the worker drones, so I looked further and eventually ended up taking a more 2d analog horror approach to her design XD

Here’s my lil sketch above and down below are all the inspiration I’ve acquired for her design ^^

It’s a VERY drastic design change from the original I know, but it’s one that I think will serve as a much greater antagonist >:3 and really run to write ✍️ Let me know your guy’s thoughts down below, and while you’re at it I plan to make a poll soon on making “Short stories” ^^ more on that in the upcoming poll so keep an eye out!

With that I’m out! Peace ^^

"The Exponential End"

Had a crazy concept idea for the absolute solver in my reimagining, so here's a quick sketch ^^

[murderdrones-reimaginingau]

Here’s all the icons I’ve done so far! More to come but I’ve been wondering about whether or not I should give everyone else a last name like Uzi and her family but just have them be unique and stuff -w- If you guys could give them last names what names would you give them?

[murderdrones-reimaginingau]

“Uzi’s New Look”

So I’m redrawing all of the icons and I had this old icon of Uzi I made before but I don’t think it fit the 1970s aesthetic now, so I remade it but I want to know which one you guys prefer? Left icon is the initial version I made last year and the right is the new version and is drawn much similarly to the other icons!

“Experiment 0.02... Failure. Contain it and prepare for disassembly.”

Nori redesign looks so good! I’ve been becoming more of a fan of her for a bit and I have no idea why. Sadly I couldn’t upload the original 8 minutes since the piece itself took 10 hours, but nevertheless I love how it turned out ^^ Lemme know your thoughts in the comments!

[INITIATING: WELCOME BACK!]

Haii everyone! It’s been a while since this blog’s been gone, hasn’t it? It’s nice to be back, even if it is with a fresh new blog. I can’t wait to fill it up with commentary, sneak peeks, and interact with the murder drones community once more… But before I do that, let’s recap-

For all returning & new viewers of this blog, I started a project called Murder Drones: Re-Imagining back in October of 2024 [If I recall correctly]. During the blog’s existence, I created a lot of artwork, made an ask blog, posted WIPs of future stuff, and even started an A03 fanfiction to write out my new story [which is still up btw]. I had a lot of fun with the blog; however, somewhere in between, my perfectionism got the best of me, and I ended up feeling obligated to get something out, which took the love out of the project for me. I ended up deleting the original MD: RI blog and going quiet for around a year. I changed my A03 status to Discontinued, and I thought I’d never touch it again…

However, my love for Murder Drones never died out, even after I deleted everything. I’d end up thinking about the blog every now and then and remember all the progress I’d made; All the art, comments, and the fact that it was the longest blog I’ve kept up and the most progress I’d ever made on a project. So, after much contemplation, my fixation for Murder Drones, and looking back on old comments from my A03 story, I’ve decided to not only come back and recreate the Murder Drones: Re-Imagining blog, but to do a complete re-write of the story since I know I can do better than before with my storytelling.

It’s an ambitious task, but it’s one I’m determined to tackle; I'll pace myself so as not to burn myself out and end up repeating a choice I’ll later come to regret.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

For those who still check my A03 now and then, you may or may not have noticed a new “chapter” which is really an announcement giving a smaller version of this post. You may have also noticed that my status on A03 has changed from Discontinued to Re-Writing. This is intentional, as I won’t just be rewriting the characters, but the chapters I’ve written for my story so far. Looking back at my writing, I feel I was onto something, though the characters weren’t as planned out as I originally believed, so they’re getting cooked, and I’m starting somewhat from scratch. 

I’m not entirely sure if I can archive my old text aside from just copying and pasting into my Google Docs, so if someone likes collecting old texts from stories they like, gimme a heads up in the comment section, I’ll keep a copy of all my old text! I read everything! While you’re in the comments, feel free to tell me what you missed about the old blog, and I’ll see what I can do about bringing it back to help make the blog more engaging.

[WARNING!]

Please do NOT send private DMs to this blog! If you have a question about a character, wip sketches, commissions, etc., please ask in the comments of any post I make. Any messages to my dm will be ignored, and please: nothing inappropriate! I wanna make this clear in advance because I got a few DMs on the previous blog and don't want the same thing happening here!

Before I end this announcement, I wanted to say one last thing…

Thank you to everyone, past and present, who's supported and taken an interest in my reimagining project! I’m really excited to start working on this project once more. Your patience has been much appreciated, and although I hate to ask for more, I know those who really like my project will stick around for the quality. With that, this announcement has come to a close! Hope you all have a wonderful day, and peace out!

[ WELCOME BACK :) ]

Sorry if this comeback post sucked, I've never had to make one before! Again, thank you all for taking an interest in my project! Murder Drones: Reimagining is back!
