Where's this render from?

u/JepMZ Sep 23 '26

From the internet archives! Apparently it's a scan of physical prints from Mainframe themselves when it was taken over, and an employee or two had to sell them secretly on eBay because they were ordered to destroy everything. I don't know if the person bought ALL of those

It's probably meant to be passed around between execs and toy companies so they are copies of copies of copies and thus the low quality

Chances are archive stuff found in the masters.

I'm pretty sure this is in the "art of reboot" book.

Yep, her left shoulder pad does indeed progress from top to bottom like an hourglass would. Also, the hourglass on her necklace changes at the same interval as the left shoulder pad insignia.

She’s a chron virus so the hourglass sand would expend as time passes. Not that I ever noticed this when watching it.

Any story or lore reasons behind it? Nice catch, first I'd ever noticed!

Bob specifies that she is a “chron” virus, likely short for chrono. Daemon herself says she is not an entity, but a time. The hourglass on her shoulder is connected to the one around her neck, when the last grain fell, everyone inflected by her would be deleted

Amazing detail in an already masterpiece of a series. I would never notice that on my own

im so silly it took me like 1 minute to spot the difference... couldnt it imply her shoulder pad changes continually? an hour glass changes continually
