Doctor Overse
Pt. 7 of 8 of The PreservationAux Survey Team
Overse is understandably cut from the show bc she is pretty easily combined with Pin-Lee but I'm sad about it. In the books she is super chill and practical to balance out Arada's optimistic naivety and they're both very empathetic and make a great and effective team.
Mollusk!Overse is 46-ish, feminine, and pretty. She also has long blonde hair because I said so and it was fun to draw. Also I haven't done any blonde characters for a while. (The other day one of my art friends may have mocked me for not drawing blondes, like, ever...)
Also SecUnit doesn't give us a lot of detail for what peoples jobs are on the survey team so I scoured the wiki and did my best.

Take two cuz im forgetful - Genuine question
please rb im so curious
#As an artist who would dearly like to be both#Drawing gives me happy chemicals while I do it#but words and I have a strained relationship on the best of days#i myself find drawing so much easier and quicker than writing#they both take tons of research and practice#but i think it depends on the person

Pin-Lee
Pt. 6 of 8 of The PreservationAux Survey Team
I really like both Pin-Lee and Overse in the books and I understand why they combined them for the show but I also miss the dynamic a little. They are both levelheaded and competent but I think Pin-Lee was a bit sharper and in my head she was cool and tall and fashionable as well.
Did my literal autistic ass picture her as tall and thin with straight black hair because of the visual imagery inspired by having "Pin" in her name? Yeah probably.

Doctor Arada
Pt. 5 of 8 of The PreservationAux Survey Team
Book Arada was, imo a bit more competent than TV Arada, but I also think that is true for every other character in the show as well so she's not special ig. Hopefully she looks like a slightly naive yet competent woman in her early 40s. It's a difficult line to walk, apparently.
Fun fact: I originally had my Overse design labeled as Arada but I reread (listened to) Network Effect and realized that SecUnit, the little bastard, actually gave a few descriptions for Arada so I decided to alter Overse's tentative drawing, finish it, and swap them which honestly fits both characters better anyway so I guess I can't really be mad.
(It was just annoying bc I hadn't committed fully to draw Overse and Volescu but everyone else was 'done'.)

Dr. Bharadwaj
Pt. 4 of 8 of the PreservationAux Survey Team
Now we are getting to where the characters in my head differ from how they were cast in the show. The first 4 were pretty accurate to my mental picture, at least appearance-wise, but for Bharadwaj, Arada, and Pin-Lee I really relied on how the narrator voiced them.
Mollusk!Bharadwaj is shorter, has down-turned eyes, darker skin and reddish-brown hair. I am just now realizing I turned off the layer with her glasses so I'll have to fix that when I get home. Imagine glasses. Her hair is wavy more than curly and I put her in the younger set but I don't really have a reason for why I did that. I don't think it's particularly 'supported by textual evidence' so idk.

Doctor Gurathin
Pt. 3 of 8 of the PreservationAux Survey Team
Do all of the crew members have doctorates? I feel like they do but SecUnit often refers to a few specific members by just their names. Mostly Pin-Lee and Ratthi were the ones I was unsure about. Where I only listen to the books it's hard to go back and fact check.
Anyway, Gurathin in my brain was one of the younger members of the group and, though good looking, was kinda sullen and moody. Also, nothing in the world could have prepared me for a potential relationship between him and Mensah in the TV show.

Doctor Ratthi
Pt. 2 of 8 of the PreservationAux Survey Team
I cannot find canon ages for anyone so I am going entirely by vibe. Therefore, according to me, Ratthi is the youngest crew member at like 32-ish followed by Gurathin and then Bharadwaj.

Added a few more values to everyone because I needed them for Ratthi


Dr. Ayda Mensah
Pt. 1 out of 8
My take on the PresAux Crew Character Designs
Tbh the TV show cast Mensah pretty close to what I pictured while listening to the books but I did think of her as a bit taller and grayer. SecUnit doesn't pay much attention to what people wear tho so I gave my best shot at semiformal hippi planetary leader chic. I enjoy fashion design but I wouldn't say I'm good at it

We should talk more about shoes that Batfam wear with their suits. Like, surely, they have some special shoes that are made specifically for the vigilante activies, but imagine them forgetting to switch it on different occasions?
Bruce, hurrying in a place of crime after running away from gala, so goons die of laughter seeing Batman in rich-ass, patent leather shoes, and keep making fun of him.
Dick gets an emergency call in the middle of his salsa dancing classes, and everyone witnesses Nightwing's perfect acrobatic skills followed by a clicking of his boots.
Jason intentionally comes to the shootout in his cowboy boots. Was he inspired by Dante from Devil May Cry? Was it Roy's idea? Who fucking knows. But he keeps making awful puns the whole time.
Tim absolutely knowingly keeps putting on his favourite converses, because he doesn't give a fuck and other shoes make his feet hurt. Also, he looks cool, and teenagers adore Red Robin for that alone.
Cass fights in her ballet flats once. It should be funny, but the sight of her, kicking everyone's asses while acting like she is in the middle of the ballet practice, makes everyone shiver for another few weeks.
Stephanie buys herself those kinds of shoes that light up in neon when you step on the ground harshly. She decides she doesn't want to wear anything else in her whole life and gets excited when she they light up with violet, matching her suit.
Damian once woke up by his father in the middle of the night during some important case. He is so sleepy that he leaves for the patrol in his plushie, cow-themed slippers. Others are too sleep-deprived to notice.
Duke has the worst week in his life thanks to goons and finals. He is so frustrated that he just... throws his flip-flops straight in the criminal's head. The video made by some random civilian circulates in the internet non-stop.
