Animated scene of Sidra and Pepper from A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers when Sidra scans her new room. Sidra is a copy of a ship AI who was placed inside an artificial body after a catastrophic failure deleted her predecessor, Lovelace. She must learn how to blend into society on Port Coriol as a human or risk being arrested and destroyed.
Still under the cut!
Sidra often feels like she does not belong in her human body as her mind was made to run a ship. She has trouble viewing the world through her two eyes instead of through various cameras aboard the Wayfarer. She finds comfort in being able to view her room the way she would as an AI through a camera in the corner. This scene always stuck with me as someone who experiences dysphoria and feels a disconnect between my body and mind.
To make this animation, I created different versions of the same image in Clip Studio Paint. They were then uploaded into PowerPoint, animated, and saved as a gif. This process was very fun and I hope to make more animated scenes!
Finally knocked this off my #tbr A lighter book than I was expecting, but I loved the nerdy sci-fi energy that came through in the exploration of various cultures, planets, species and relationships. . #amreading #scifi #thelongwaytoasmallangryplanet #beckychambers https://www.instagram.com/p/CRfYGCIjSKi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hello everyone, hope you’re all doing really well. Apologies if this post is a bit garbled, I had an op today and am still recovering. Today I’d like to share the third shelf of my second bookshelf. This is all fiction (mostly unread 🙊) and focuses on author surnames from B-C. Books I’m excited for from this shelf include My Sister The Serial Killer, If I Had Your Face and the second and third books in the Becky Chambers series. Have you read any of these books? Would you like to? Let me know below in the comments! #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm #bookstagrammer #tbrshelf #shelfie #mysistertheserialkiller #oyinkanbraithwaite #ifihadyourface #francescha #aclosedandcommonorbit #recordofaspacebornfew #beckychambers #toomanybookstoolittletime https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmmGeCA-qT/?igshid=ovtvc56xe5z
