Murderbot

Get the fuck out! I had no idea.

Please, please, please don't let them fuck this up. Apple, so there's a chance it is ok.

Really satisfied with Skarsgard in that pic too. He looks like he is uncomfortable just like Murderbot was.

I really hope they can pull this off. The cover of the SubPress version of Murderbot Diaries is a cool illustration of Sec Unit. I flipped through the illustrations of the other books and didn't see any other full body concept of what he looks like with or without his armor.

There's a nice collection of the short stories available on Amazon for $40 as well. These four were collected together in the "Murderbot Diaries" book.
"Network Effect" and "System Collapse" are full standalone books, and "Fugitive Telemetry" is another short story that occurs between the two novels. Eventually I guess that'll be grouped up with other short stories into a second collection.





There was aslo a good article with the author of the series in Wired. And some college graduation speech she gave a while back that I read. Anyways, they give some insights in to the creation of Murderbot. It'll be interesting to see how approach him in the show. Sec Unit really doesn't like his helmet off but can't imagine them not showing Skarsgard's face 90% of the time.

This is a good article with Tommy Arnold who has done a lot of artwork for various SciFi and Fantasy projects. He’s done Magic Cards (Soren, Vengeful Bloodlord), Video Games box art (Shattered Space), and Books (Abhorsen, Locked Tomb, Blade Itself).

He did the artwork for the Murderbot versions above and was contracted by Apple to do the concept work for the TV series too. They don’t really get in to the show concept until way down in the interview. Anyways, thought it was interesting and relevant to the show.
