I'll start off strong with my biggest SS13 piece to date: a commission from a friend of mine as a gift for @SlimeBird! Finished about mid-December, 2020. (I already feel like I've improved a ton since this.) Here's some art I've done of one of my characters, Rivera Kirkland, as a geneticist: Drawn in April 2021. And here's some art I ended up drawing after my first round of chef in ages, playing as Sybil Swords, featuring @angelictactics's Idunn. Drawn in May 2021.

Hi! Some of my friends have been poking me for a while to make an art thread, soooo I'm finally doing that. I have a good handful of SS13 art I'll try to upload in batches and stuff, things will probably be out of order for a while! (i'll edit this first post to look nicer later, since i wanna have a cute little landing drawing of sorts for it)

Name: Azure (Previous Designation: N.M.R.U. 9) Age: 23 Gender: Female Race: IPC Blood Type: N/A General Occupational Role(s): - Chief Medical Officer - Paramedic - Virologist - Medical Doctor Biography: In their Sisyphean quest to reduce expenses, Nanotrasen prototyped a series of IPC medical and engineering response teams, in the hopes to phase out their humanoid, expensive counterparts. The project had been mildly successful, and to give their engineers field data, Nanotrasen constructed a vessel specifically for this project: the NRV Daedalus. Azure, then known as Nanotrasen Medical Response Unit 9 (or N.M.R.U. 9), was one of the Daedalus' medical units. She was held in high regards by the engineers overseeing the project and Nanotrasen in general due to her displays of competency, although her only training was Nanotrasen's basics and the mentoring of other doctors, leaving her without a proper degree. The only mark on her otherwise-golden record would be her tendency to stray towards the engineering department of the Daedalus. She would work alongside and generally spend time with one of the engineering units - N.E.R.U. 8 - when the Daedalus wasn't treating patients. The NRV Daedalus was called to respond to a terror spider outbreak. The request for support had implied that only cleanup was required; that the vessel had eradicated the spiders. The red terror spider that greeted the Daedalus upon boarding proved that wrong immediately and, after a messy conflict, the Daedalus was wiped out and the original vessel's nuclear self-destruct was activated by an unknown entity. Through some miracle, or perhaps divine intervention, Azure's posibrain was recovered from the irradiated wreckage of the Daedalus. In a much unluckier turn of events, USSP scrappers had found it rather than a Nanotrasen team. She eventually made her way back to Nanotrasen space with a new identity and language learned, and after a few months of clearing up her legally dead status, returned to work. She generally works with medical teams aboard stations and bases and had an easy application into the CMO position due to her previous displays of aptitude aboard the Daedalus. Qualifications: - Nanotrasen basic medical training Employment Records: N.M.R.U. 9 (Nanotrasen Medical Response Unit) was previously stationed onboard the NRV Daedalus. Following the Daedalus's nuclear self-destruction after a failed support mission, she was found by USSP scrappers and repaired. She returned to Nanotrasen after 3-6 years among the USSP's ranks. Note: After her recovery, N.M.R.U. 9 intentionally does not respond to her name, instead going by the nickname 'Azure.' The reasoning behind this is unclear, but is presumed to be because of the USSP's policies towards synthetics. Note 2: Recently spent 2-3 months aboard the NRV Savior as a first responder. Security Records: N.M.R.U. 9 has acted with good behavior, besides minor SoP breaches during her time aboard the NRV Daedalus - namely, her tendencies to leave the medical department, presumably to speak with N.E.R.U. 8, another response unit deployed to the NRV Daedalus. Note: As of her deployment to the NSS Cyberiad following the catastrophic events aboard the Daedalus and her time in the USSP, no notable criminal activity has been recorded. Additionally, she refuses to respond to her designation, instead opting to use the nickname 'Azure.' Medical Records: N.M.R.U. 9 was reconstructed by the USSP after a catastrophic event (see employment records for more information). As such, internal wiring and component placement may not meet Nanotrasen standards. Note: After her return from the USSP, N.M.R.U. 9 will only respond to the nickname 'Azure.' Speculated reasoning for this change is contained within her employment records; please contact someone with access to these if this information becomes necessary for a psychological evaluation. Personnel Photo (Appearance text): Azure stands at exactly 6'0, with azure-colored, short hair and darker blue antennae. They have a lime stripe around their base to designate her first-responder capabilities, although she usually tries to hide them with a beret or hood. She speaks with a light Russian accent and tends to cover as much 'skin' as possible, constantly adjusting her gloves, mask, or jumpsuit in an attempt to hide her synthetic nature. Other Notes: Azure has a Zeng-Hu pharmaceuticals chassis, designed to be as human-like as possible. It's relatively difficult to tell she's a synthetic without catching her charging or in robotics, although her ID and records make this act irrelevant to anyone who's observant.

Name: Jade Helene Burnwood (née Styles) Age: 25 Gender: Female Race: Human Blood Type: A+ General Occupational Role(s): Physician Researcher Biography: Jade was born July 14, 2540 in Port-Royal Inc. administrated Luna from Marcus Styles (2511-2557) and Amelia Styles (née Winters; 2519-2557). Her sole sibling was Amber Styles (2547-2556). While she was initially jealous of her younger sister, Jade progressively warmed up to Amber. At age 6, Amber was diagonised with a rare terminal illness of neurological nature, which devastated the Styles family. Amber died of her disease the following year, which deeply affected Jade, developing depressive symptoms. In 2557, one year after Amber's death, Jade's parents were killed in the botched hijacking of a Port-Royal Inc. owned transport shuttle, which ended in the destruction of the vessel and all of its occupants. While the cause of the explosion remains unclear, Jade, overwhelmed by the death of all her family members and looking for someone to blame, believed Nanotrasen was behind the incident's bloody end. Overcoming her grief, Jade graduated from the Rochereau Medical School, Luna in 2561 and worked as a Nurse in various establishments. External actors noticed Jade's resentment for Nanotrasen and she was offered paramilitary training, including hand-to-hand combat, close-quarters combat and battlefield medicine. From that point on she developed an affinity for gunpowder, WW3-era weaponry and holds a personal, albeit illegal collection. In perhaps misguided hopes of finding the truth behind the death of her parents, Jade joined Nanotrasen in 2562 as a licensed physician and researcher. While working there she met Aleister Burnwood and married him in 2564, now living together in an apartment on Earth. Qualifications: Jade graduated from the Rochereau Medical School with honors. She formally passed the Nanotrasen-standard MD-1, MD-2-R and MD-3 medical tests (respectively for Nurse, Researcher-Physician and Chief Medical Officer). Her combat skills have not been formally assessed, but physical examination points to a rigorous training regimen on par with the one the upper echelon of Nanotrasen's elite force go through (CB-X). Employment Records: 2562 - present: Nanotrasen (Physician, Researcher) 2561 - 2562: Luxembourg Hospital, Luna (Licensed Nurse) 2559 - 2561: DuFleur Clinic, Luna (Nurse Intern) 2557 - 2558: Youkai Sushi, Luna (Apprentice Chef) NOTES: There are unverified reports that Jade has worked with foreign actors in operations of sabotage, kidnapping and potentially murder. Security Records: THREAT ASSESSMENT: VERY HIGH - Do not engage alone. - Deploy tactical equipment (flashbang, tear gas, bola) as much as possible. - Jade is extremely agile owing to her small frame and may prove difficult to catch. - After a home search, a considerable weapons cache was found. The weapons were ballistic in nature and fairly rudimentary, dating from the 21st century. Assume her to be armed and dangerous. NOTES: Jade is believed to have received paramilitary training, including hand-to-hand combat as well as close-quarters combat. Medical Records: HEIGHT: 160cm / 5'2" WEIGHT: 55kg / 121 lbs EYE COLOUR: dark green PHYSICAL STATE: Jade is in excellent shape with no particular conditions whatsoever. PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE: Moderate depressive and anxiety symptoms, for which Jade is receiving regular therapy. Personnel Photo (Appearance text): A brown haired, over-the-shoulder ponytail wearing woman of short stature and slender build, she looks to be about 158cm tall. Her face is round and her eyes green, showing a fierce and focused gaze that starkly contrast with the her soft voice and small frame. She appears younger than she is, and seems like the type that doesn't like to be mistaken for a child. She often looks around her and reacts to the slightest noise. Some cat hair can be seen on her clothes as well as some scratches on her hands. Other Notes: Has a severe complex about her height. Do not bully her about it. Absolutely don't. While Jade used to be cold towards everyone, a few crew members melted her heart of ice and now she opens up more than ever. Her favourite food is lasagna.

Wanted to share some of the ss13 art pile that's been accumulating in my folder recently, so here we gooo I haven't watermarked all of these, so pls dont repost ^^ thanks so much March 2021 April 2021 (where I drew more than I remember?!)

Event: Photo Day Quick description: The Librarian (and any assistants they can rope in) is tasked with taking yearbook photos of as many crew members as possible. Reason for suggestion: Librarian has always felt like one of the least "engaged" roles on the station, so I and some friends have put a lot of thought into how to make it more fun and involved. This morning while joking around we came up with an idea that seems both fun and doable, so I thought I'd put it here. Necessary map changes: No, this event should be feasible on any station that has a camera and a photo album. Necessary code changes: No, this should work completely within the current system. Ideal player count: Should work with any number, but 60-80 is probably the ideal range? Detailed description: Potential modifiers: Notes: Best for extended/"quiet" shifts, as it will involve a lot of people being dragged away from work for a few minutes and as such will be extremely difficult to pull off if the crew is distracted by a blob attack or at risk of abduction. Head of Personnel and Captain should be informed via CentComm fax when this event is happening, as they play minor roles in it. I recommend requiring around 60% of the crew for objective completion; it's enough of a majority to feel both challenging and worthwhile without being such a majority that it's nigh impossible to complete.

YEAHHHHH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!! I'm still so obsessed with Kikeri's BEAM ATTACK

Sooommmeee recent art as of late! Very doodle-heavy this time around.

Hi all, Now that we have map rotation and more users are picking up mapping, it has become apparent that our lack of mapping standards and lack of mapping direction has caused issues in the past. Why make these changes? Delta and is a spaghetti piped mess, and both delta and meta's standard map practices are all over the place. I've written a suggested addition to the Mapping Standards section of the current paradise contributing guidelines. I also feel there should be someone who ensures these standards are followed, considering how busy the maints and PRR's currently are, but thats a suggestion for another day. Here are some examples, illustrated by pipes and wires, of why we need these changes: Ask yourself, are these pipe and wiring layouts easy to follow or predict? Are they intuitive? The suggestion: Regardless, click here to view my suggested changes that are in green. I welcome any feedback or requests for additions. I wanted to avoid bloating the contrib guidelines too much but I really do feel that we need these. If there is general support for this change, it is easy for me to open a PR for the changes.

Super neat art style, I love the way you color the hair!

YESSSSSS IM SO GLAD YOU MADE A THREAD!! I LOVE YOUR ART SO MUUUUCH YEAHHH

what’s her opinion on borgs

Finally got around to doing one of these. It might have info that differs slightly from the character bio I posted, since this is IC information Nanotrasen has, rather than a full biography. Name: Fiona Phillips Age: 24 Gender: Female Species: Human (Genetic modification for deep space habitation present - see TSF patent 213512-A) Blood Type: B+ General Occupational Role(s): Security Officer Maintenance Technician EMT Biography: Much of the following section cannot be verified, and relies mostly on Ms. Phillips testimony. Parts of relevant transcripts have been appended where needed. Fiona Phillips' place of birth is a mining colony on G1618-X1634, a planetoid located in the debris field around Groombridge 1618, outside of the jurisdiction of any galactic government. Said planetoid has been recorded as a location of modest amounts of plasma ore of relatively low quality. As of the time of this document's last update (May 27th, 2565), the colony is defunct due to a massive failure of its atmospheric systems. Ms. Phillips has stated that she has no known living family members. Addendum: Excerpt from an interview log, 2560.04.23 [Clearance: Command, Security] Due to the collapse of the colony's education system, Ms. Phillips has been homeschooled from her birth (2541, precise day uncertain) until her mother's death in 2551. Forced to fend for herself from there on out, she engaged in minor criminal activity, primarily smuggling. In 2556, her arm and eyes were irreparably damaged by an IED explosion, and were replaced by crude cybernetics. Later that year, a cargo freighter had to dock at G1618-X1634 for critical repairs due to FTL failure. Ms. Phillips found her way into the ship's cargo hold and managed to successfully stow away. In early 2557, she managed to land an internship as a maintenance technician onboard an industrial space station owned by Cybersun Industries. Addendum: Excerpt from an interview log, 2559.04.28 [Clearance: Command, Security] Following her previous contract's termination in 2559, Ms. Phillips applied for an engineering position onboard NSS Cyberiad, and was hired after a successful job interview. During her time with Nanotrasen, she has pursued additional qualifications, including combat medic training. Qualifications: Ms. Phillips' previous position has prepared her for most if not all duties related to spacecraft construction and maintenance, as confirmed by evaluation exams 23-A and 23-B. As such, she can be expected to perform most Engineering duties onboard Nanotrasen space stations on an adequate level. Her particular backstory has made her a natural fit for mining operations in hostile environments. During her time with the company, Ms. Phillips has received combat medic training, including the use of both ballistic and energy-based firearms, close quarters combat, and emergency medicine. During her training, she excelled at low-gravity combat simulations, hinting at previous experience. Addendum: Excerpt from an interview log, 2562.02.12 [Clearance: Command, Security] Employment Records: According to her own testimony, Ms. Phillips has experience with most basic space station equipment due to being born on a planetoid mining colony. After leaving the planetoid at the age of 15, she had briefly worked odd jobs, mostly leveraging the rudimentary knowledge of space engineering she had acquired naturally as a denizen of a space station until eventually being employed in a chemical research facility. Thorough investigation has found no proof of many of Ms. Phillips' claims, however by that time she had already demonstrated that she does indeed have some form of experience with the maintenance and operation of various kinds of machinery. Her engineering skills have been thoroughly evaluated, and after passing the required tests, she was given maintenance technician certification. During her four years working for Nanotrasen, she has received combat medic training, as her build makes her naturally suited for security work. So far, her versatile skill set has been a benefit to the corporation, however close monitoring is recommended due to the impossibility of a proper background check, as well as her status as an independent contractor. Security Records: Ms. Phillips has been suspected of trespassing and theft on multiple occasions, however no charges have ever been pressed, either due to the lack of direct proof, or the actions being taken in good faith and for the betterment of the station. Ms. Phillips dossier is highly incomplete due to living on a failed planetoid colony - much of the information about her past cannot be verified. This uncertainty extends to the few years she has allegedly spent working in a chemical facility. During her combat training it became clear that she possesses some form of combat experience, though a number of bad habits suggests that it was most likely related to her past on the colony, and not any form of previous training. Due to a relative lack of verifiable information coupled with potentially dangerous skills, close monitoring is recommended. It is possible that Ms. Phillips has been approached by potentially dangerous organizations in the past, currently pending investigation. Addendum: Excerpt from an interview log, 2565.01.29 [Clearance: Command, Security] Medical Records: Note: Ms. Phillips might be unclonable due to a somewhat unstable genetic structure, as well as extensive implantation. Should this prove to be the case, alternative revival methods should be pursued. Ms. Phillips has been given a NT model 8-C cybernetic heart transplant in the past after her original heart was damaged beyond repair due to injury caused by a Prince of Terror. She had refused the organ's replacement for a long time, citing its sentimental value, but was forced to undergo such a procedure due to the implant being rendered nonfunctional by an electromagnetic pulse. It has been replaced by a lab-grown, organic heart. Her left arm as well as eyes were damaged beyond repair by an explosion, and have likewise been replaced by cybernetics. The arm is a modified version of a generic off-brand model, while the eyes appear to be customized Cybersun Industries Series 7 ocular implants. Her physical health is stellar in spite of having spent most of her life outside of planetary gravity, mostly due to her workout routine and extensive genetic modification. Her mental health is likewise good, although concerns have been raised about stress caused by overwork, as well as potential stimulant abuse. Addendum: Excerpt from an interview log, 2564.11.03 [Clearance: Command, Medical] Personnel Photo (Appearance text): Once I have money I'll commission something. Have this until then: https://imgur.com/a/hnh8xgh Standing tall at an imposing 195 cm (6'5), Fiona is toned and well-built, with a rather muscular frame. Her waist-length, platinum-blonde hair is fluffy and unkempt. Fiona's skin is clear, with an olive tone. Her face is somewhat sharp, with the most striking feature being the irises of her otherwise normal-looking eyes, which are obviously cybernetic and radiate with a soft, orange glow reminiscent of molten metal. Her left arm is cybernetic - it appears to be slightly battered, with some mismatching components and obvious signs of numerous repairs. It appears that she is missing about three-quarters of the original limb. She has a good posture, though an observant person could notice that she is not used to Earth-like gravity, though she still carries herself with light-hearted confidence. A few tiny scars, seemingly caused by small cuts, are visible on her body. Typically, Fiona dresses quite plainly, with her most common outfit consisting of a grey tank-top shirt, a pair of regular black jeans, and black combat boots. Sometimes, she exchanges the tank-top for a leather jacket worn over a black sleeveless crop top. She often wears fingerless gloves to protect her hands while retaining dexterity. On occasion, mostly while exercising, she instead wears black track pants and sneakers, as well as an athletic sleeveless red crop top.

This is why I wish I could give you guys paid vacations. But also then I wouldn't because that would mean something horrible would happen while you were gone. Idk how many times I'll say this, but once again, thank you so much for the amazing job Arc.

I did it. It's taken a full month, and I think there may still be some stuff in need of polish, but I finally finished making Paradise's Cyberiad in Minecraft. If you want to view it, you'll need a few things: EITHER - the Twitch launcher in order to download mod packs easily OR knowledge of how and where to backup and place Minecraft directories. Project Ozone 3: A New Way Forward Mr Crayfish's Furniture Mod for 1.12.2 (it doesn't come with the above, so you'll need to download and place it yourself) Minecraft 1.12.2 WITH Forge 14.23.5+ (any latest forge for 1.12.2 works, as far as I know) 8GB+ RAM and knowledge of how to allocate it in Minecraft. Trust me on this. Here's the ZIP for the directory itself; save, mods and all: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uan6jdnp5oeqeif/Project Ozone 3 A New Way Forward (1).zip?dl=0 And here's the ZIP for just the save file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ryca3xigbrcehxv/cyberiad.zip?dl=0 I'd give instructions myself, but I'm pretty addled and tired from all the work this took. Help each other, yeah? The only caveat is that you should probably toggle the resource pack to on, because it was built with it in mind. If you have any questions or suggestions of other projects I should build for everyone's' amusement, feel free to share. If you don't really feel like downloading it, I totally get it, so here are a few sneak peeks, and you'll get the picture from these. Security Lobby Engine Containment Locker Room Bridge Medbay Lobby
