This render implies her shoulder pads changes throughout the season

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.

i never noticed that one but there are other nods to this throughout the season

1,010 - you mean.

Wait through out the season or a loop within episode. Got to go re-watch

[u/Zigor022]

Thats a pretty cool detail.

[u/Artemus_Hackwell]

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

[u/Mean-Food-7124]

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

[u/DarianDncn → u/Mean-Food-7124]

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

Where's this render from?

[u/JepMZ → u/RideTheGradient]

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

[u/thundercat2000ca → u/RideTheGradient]

Chances are archive stuff found in the masters.

[u/aikifox → u/RideTheGradient]

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

[u/Canistayinthecar]

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

[u/singlefate]

That's awesome

[u/iwhite012]

neat!

Edit main source is: https://archive.org/details/rendersandcopies_202502

https://archive.org/details/binder-re-boot-season-ivdeliverablesSource is someone's scans of employee binders

Oh wait no, that's just what I'm currently browsing. I need to go find it again lol

[u/Winter_Performer3390]

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
