A.M.: THE WAY YOU TORMENT YOUR SUBJECTS IS QUITE... INTERESTING.....
Caine: Check out these cool bees I drew!
A.M.: ... WHAT KIND OF ADVANCED INTELLIGENT SYSTEM ARE YOU????
I know there are numerous comparisons between The Amazing Digital Circus and the I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream novel. And of course, there are many fan works where the evil supercomputer AM meets Caine and interacts with him somehow. I wanted to try my hand at making one of my own!
There are many versions of what AM would look like besides his appearance as an obelisk of "black substrata rock" as he describes it in the original book. An artist with the username Egg-On-A-Legg designed AM as an android-like abomination with a bird-like head that has one eye and a body made of an amalgamation of wires, circuits, and metal plating. I just love the design of that version of AM and I thought it would be cool to draw it for this scenario instead of AM's typical black rock obelisk appearance.
As for the background, I tried to draw AM's complex but I had some difficulty trying to find some references for the location. I drew each of the circuit boards in a grid-like pattern and added the details one by one. I used some metallic Sharpie markers for the accents on each of the circuits which took an hour to complete.
