Can you believe it's been SEVEN YEARS since I drew this face? It's been a long time and a lot of water under the bridge for me, and I've been sitting down lately to watch all the Thunderbirds episodes I missed after I left the fandom. So, who knows where this might lead at this point, but have one EOS who is not at all happy about being ignored for seven long years.

I blame @lenle-g for getting this bug back in my brain. :P

Was feeling down today so I doodled an EOS and my OC Eugene (probably while they’re still silly university students). She’s about two inches taller than him and she likes ti gloat. ;) Sorry if the quality is sub-par, I had to scan it with my phone since I’m on vacation this week.

This might not make much sense, but I've been up visiting family in Maine, and since I decided Eugene is from around here I couldn't help picturing him with the traditional accent. By 2070 or so I'm sure the accent will be fairly rare, but I'm guessing even for those who don't really use it, it will be somewhat of a local joke. And since EOS works a lot with linguistics and such, I can see her absolutely adoring him pulling out the accent from time to time.

I've wanted to draw this for quite some time and it finally got done. Mainly just a cute EOS with both of her forms: camera and mobile platform as well. It came out pretty well, if you ask me! X3

[littlemissgeek8]

Was testing out some hairstyle ideas for EOS's uniform, since loose ponytails won't be good in microgravity. ^^;;; Not sure which ones I like best, and I realize I'm putting this up kinda late but any input would be welcomed in knowing which ones people like.

[littlemissgeek8]

I had a whole explanation written up about this and then it all got lost when I moved my hard drives into a new computer setup. ;a; Basically this came about from a lot of Star Trek and many chats with @lenle-g about the Thunderbirds Star Trek AU she was involved in ages ago. And, of course, how EOS would fit in.

In short, it boils down to her being an orphaned Betazoid child who stows away on the Thunderbird after they show up to investigate what happened to the ship she was on. After she's found (and tries to stab J'onn out of fear), she ends up being taken in by J'onn as the only crewman who could help in part with her uncontrolled telepathic abilities. And, while she was only supposed to be on the ship temporarily... she bonds well enough with her half-vulcan caretaker that he ends up adopting her instead.

(Thanks to Len for the colors on the second picture <3333333333)

This came about from a bit of silliness with @lenle-g and myself. Namely the idea of EOS having somehow acquired several ducklings (hopefully to be chronicled in this thread.)

It’s hard to tell from the scan but yes, all the ducklings are named after either members of the Mercury Seven or their wives (with the tiny one in her pocket named after Annie Glenn.)

[littlemissgeek8]

I honestly have no true explanation for this; either she’s deemed something ‘unfair’ and come to whine about it to John.... or she wants a pony again. XD Either way it was fun to draw!

[littlemissgeek8]

I sketched this up a while ago but  managed to forget to upload it somehow. XD Oops. I've wanted to draw John and EOS cooking or something for some time now, so I figured making pancakes would be a good idea! EOS has somehow managed to get some of the batter all over her face, and John's probably not entirely sure he trusts her using the frying pan without supervision, but I'm guessing they came out okay!

[littlemissgeek8]

The picture I posted on Sunday got me inspired to try replicating the illustration style of the Oz stories a little closer, and of course whom else would I choose to draw but EOS? The picture's mostly inspired by the artwork for the character Polychrome, the daughter of the Rainbow. John R. Neill always portrayed her with the most beautiful floaty lines and elegant touches, and I had to try emulating that.

Plus I had a great deal of fun drawing the morning glories and sunflowers she's holding. X3

I started drawing this back in November and it's taken me so long to finally finish this, and I'm very proud of the way it's come out! I wanted to try an Art Nouveau style and while it is hard to draw, I did better than I expected! I'm probably going to ramble for a while about my creative process under a cut, so for those of you interested in knowing more, please continue to read! I hope you all like this! It took a very long time to finish! XD

I'd seen some portraits on my dashboard back in November that featured symbolic flowers and I was very interested in trying it with EOS. But I couldn't figure out what to do for the picture itself. Somewhere along the line I settled on the idea of trying an Art Nouveau style, likely inspired by the illustrations of the Oz books by John R. Neil. EOS's dress here is highly inspired by Ozma's, in fact.

As for the flowers, I chose each of them because of their symbolic meaning. The daisies in EOS's hair are for purity and cheerfulness; Delphinium for fun and levity; hyacinth for playfulness; Lilac for youthful innocence; Amaranth for immortality; lavender for devotion and Ivy for dependence  and faithfulness. The only flower that I didn't choose for it's meaning was morning glory, which I picked because well, she is the Dawn after all!

Many many apologies for not having the motivation/energy/whatever to get my Virgil picture done today. It is started and I will absolutely do my best to get it done tomorrow but for the moment it's only about half-done.

I feel like I need to put up a picture before I sleep though, so I'll leave you with this. It's nothing so detailed and fantastic as the countdown pictures, but it's a nice little sketch of the "prototype" for my AU EOS's Mobile Platform. I sketched it a while ago while coming up with ideas for an RP thread officially introducing Grandma Tracy to her synthetic great-granddaughter. I do rather love how she came out, and I deliberately tried to use some of the design elements from last year (such as the less curly/poofy hair). Also, as this is before EOS was fully integrated into the family, she doesn't have her usual dress nor her circular hairpin or ponytail holders.

Again, I will do my best to have Scott and Virgil done tomorrow! <33

[littlemissgeek8]

I'm mostly happy with how this came out, though there's some irregularities due to it being a much smaller page than I'm used to. But basically someone (honestly not sure who at this point, it's been ages) had mentioned official NASA jackets, of which I'm certain with all the astronauts in the family they have at least two. And since John certainly has one... well even little AI daughters get chilly once in a while. Even if her “dad’s” jacket is several sizes too big to fit her right.

It's done!!! It took several, several hours of straight coloring and lots of gel-pen work (that didn't scan, obviously) but it's done!!

My scanner sadly doesn't capture quite how bright and vibrant the colors really are (I scanned it several times on multiple settings and I think it's just the hardware) but it's as good as I think it's going to get! But, anyway, Magical EOS-- both default and Orbital form! Now to work on some other power-up designs! 8D
