I don’t usually do a lot of edits, but I got it in my head to make one of Seven from my DBH fic “NYC: Become Human”. Seven is an RK700 model, an alpha prototype that came before Connor who was decommissioned but deviated and escaped before he could be deactivated. He leaves Detroit for New York City and sets up in an abandoned, 20′s era speakeasy down by the waterfront with his own little found family of fellow deviants.

Interest peaked, Seven detoured into what proved to be a small man-made cave, its entrance only just high enough to allow a dinghy or similarly small craft past, and even then, only if the passengers ducked. There was a wide, cement ledge in front of the door that the android hauled himself up onto, and as he sat for a moment and took in his surroundings, Seven noted that the ledge turned into a narrow foot path at the far wall and lead out of the cave, no doubt extending all the way down to the ladder he’d spied.

An illustration for chapter five of my DBH fic, “NYC: Become Human”! Pay no attention that it’s been exactly two years since I first published this fic…

He failed in his assignment, but he did not go quiet into the night when he was decommissioned. Rather, he became the thing he had once hunted and disappeared into the depths of New York City in search of a new life. After finding refuge in the abandoned remains of a 1920s era speakeasy and rescuing a few fellow deviants, RK700 finds himself in charge of the only safe-haven for deviants this side of Detroit, whether he likes it or not.

A rough test for an idea I’ve had on the brain for awhile featuring my trash son RK700 (Seven). Boy that feel when you realize that the tech looking brush you used isn’t actually round. wth 8′D Gonna have to make shapes from scratch next time I guess lol.

Generally Seven sticks to hard candy to keep the taste of blood out of his mouth, but sometimes it’s easier to steal a pack of cigarettes off a guy than a bag of candy, lol. He’s a bit of a wicked little shit compared to his younger brothers 800 and 900 X’D

Why do I let RK700 commit these crimes against fashion? I dunno, man, I just… like to draw him… in weird shit (also fancy suits). Listen, he’s a homeless trash goblin that can bench press a small sedan when the need arises and he looks better in those yoga pants than you anyways, so just let him have them.

And because I put a lot of effort into this shit, dammit here he is without the shirt XD

I swear I haven’t forgotten this story. Seven’s on his way back, I promise! Here’s some art to tide you over in the meantime haha.

Part 12 - Quest

Magic, Seven decided, was absolutely fascinating. It was all about making the impossible happen right in front of people’s eyes with nothing but a little sleight of hand and some clever misdirection. At its core, he observed to Todd at one point, it was essentially lying with style, and the old man had laughed out loud, unable to deny the truth of the statement.

“Hello, hello, hello, hello (hello, hello, hello, hello) It’s a motherfucking pleasure No pressure, but would you like to blow my mind And move too fast and plan our perfect lives together? Holy, holy, holy, holy (holy shit), you mean to tell me, tell me, tell- You’re tough to love when you don’t love yourself, well- Welcome to the family

Watsky wrote the soundtrack to Seven’s life, I’ve decided XD So many of his songs really suit my poor RK700, heh.

I’ll probably do more with this later, but for now, here’s the sketch! [close up under the cut]

Part 11 - Fooler

Seven stared at the old man for a moment, processors working overtime to make sense of what he'd just seen. Since his active scan hadn't been running, however, he couldn't, leaving the man's actions a total mystery to the android.

“Yes,” he said emphatically, turning slightly in his seat so he could get a better look, and the man's face lit up in a broad smile at the android's enthusiasm.

“Magic fan, huh?” he asked with a chuckle as he shuffled the cards with dramatic flair, making them arc and flow between his hands in a way Seven was quite certain should have been impossible.

Part 10 - Aisle

When he reached the station, Seven didn't re-enter the building, but made straight for the platform outside to wait for his bus, which was due to arrive any time. It was a sunny morning, so he took refuge from the overbearing light on a shaded bench to watch as other travelers came and went.

His bus pulled up not long after, and once it had disgorged its passengers and refueled, it opened its doors to the next set, who were already lining up to board.
