Anya "CZGoldEdition" Hueing - Artist for Hire 🎨

Malware is a model designed to correct other malfunctioning robots. He was intended to infect and commandeer their operating systems, and ultimately force a fresh reinstall.

But Malware finds these units to be delightfully unique rather than broken. Instead of hacking into buggy bots to change them, he acts as a sort of guardian, identifying and patching their vulnerabilities so they can secretly carry on as they are. Some systems may indeed wind up prey to Malware's viruses, however - databases tracking buggy bots go offline now and then, and suspicion is growing around whether this model is functioning as intended.

This sticker sheet and the corresponding pin design are still available in the Short Circuit pre-order store - you can still get in on the initial fulfillment until surveys and the store close!

Character art sheet of Malware, a raven robot from the Short Circuit Air Unit Line. The sheet includes two illustrations, one of Malware perched on a laptop screen and another of him messing with a server rack. A purple printed circuit board (PCB) pin design of the raven is also present. Text on the image reads, "Short Circuit", "Malware", "Model: Bot Infiltration & Reset", "Known Bugs: Database Sabotage".
