Femslash February prompt "Lie To Me"

Fun fact I colorized this in the train on my way to England
#FemslashFebruary2025 #ToxicYuri #Uglies #UgliesNetflix #DrCable #MaddyUglies #YADystopia #SciFi

ID: Digital drawing showing Dr. Cable, a tall, curvy while thin, middle aged black woman with long straight hair, wearing a light, futuristic dress, and Maddy, a thin, wiry, sharp faced black woman with greying locks, wearing lots of scarfs and fabric belts and used looking clothes, standing in front of each other, staring hostile. It is colorized in a pallet from cream white to dark, dulled pink.

I would have never ever expected her to wear that dress from how I imagined her after the book (she's a super soldier and mad scientist and already in the book felt quite gender, so I imagined her rather butch)

But holy shit, man. I am so sapphic for her

I can’t believe that I am a fan of these books since over fiveteen years, on and off in the online fandom since about ten, and only now I first write about Dr. Cable doming someone

Maddy tries to find out as much as possible about Dr. Cables cybernetic modifications. It escalates to bring up their shared past and old attraction

tw blood

Thought about what a show of dominance it's to show up to a battle in a white robe, long hair and painted nails, and then thought about how there must have been situations where she ended up having to fight like this
#Uglies #UgliesNetflix #DrCable #scifi #YADystopia

ID: Digitally colorized pencil drawing of Dr. Cable, a tall, curvy black woman, wearing her long hair in a braid, wearing a futuristic dress, in a fighting stance. There is blood on her fingernails, face and clothes, and dirt on her knees and the hem of the dress.

Some headcanons for Special Circumstances uniforms, since in the movie we only saw the sneak suits - at least they look the closest to what the books described the sneak suits even if they didn't ever change colors to blend in anywhere.
#Uglies #UgliesNetflix #DrCable #ShayUglies #Dystopia

ID: Digital drawing. First row shows Dr. Cable in three different uniforms, the first is light grey and white, with the white parts being textured and on neck, shoulders, flanks and in narrower lines down her legs. Second is white and light grey too, but now plated, futuristic looking armor with visible straps. Third is a tight-fit black overall with futuristic silver patterns over it. Second row shows Shay as a Special, wearing a sleveless black top with silver straps over the shoulder and a large part of the front being silver too, cargo pants and futuristic combat boots. The second beside this shows the same outfit, but now with a wide black coat with silver line details worn over it.

She always has been on my list of my favorite villains since I first read the book series, so I didn't thought that possible, but honestly, the way Laverne Cox played Dr. Cable made me obsess over her even more

Finally come across to post the art of that scene from that one fic shipping Dr. Cable with a henchwoman I published months ago.

ID: Digitally colorized pencil drawing of Dr. Cable, a wiry, middle aged black woman with a quite angular face and long, straight hair, lying on her back, face to the side contorted in pleasure, one hand clenched in the sheet, other in the hair of the red haired, muscular white woman eating her out

More dystopian rebel leader/dystopian dictator smut drawings.

Had a peripheral conversation about Dr. Cables position on cunnilingus, and just had to draw her going down on Maddy
#nsfw #EroticFanart #Femslash #DrCable #MaddyUglies #CablexMaddy #Uglies

ID: Digitally colorized pencil drawing. Maddy lying on her back, head arched back, smiling and gasping, as Dr. Cable lies between her spread legs, one hand on her breast, and eats her out. They're both rather wiry middle aged black women, but Maddy is haggard and has greying locks while Dr. Cable is busty and has straight blonde hair.

Villain tenderness again, but this time with my pre-movie design for Dr. Cable, and Subcommander Maxamilla Feaster

ID: Digitally colorized pencil drawing. Dr. Cable, a sharp faced white woman with a black bob, rather muscular, and Maxamilla Feaster, a vaguely east asian, slightly darker skinned woman with very short hair, also quite muscular, cuddled against each other naked.

More villain tenderness (and more fleshing out background characters)

Also I think I drew Dr. Cables hair to short?

ID: Digitally colorized pencil drawing of Dr. Cable (wiry, middle aged black woman with angular face and long straight hair) and General Clayton (middle aged white woman, muscular, chin length hair) close to kissing, knealing close to each other, naked.

Once asked how doctors learn how to take blood samples, and turns out, they practice on each other.

Of course I couldn't get the image of Maddy and not-yet Dr. Cable doing that out of my head
#Uglies #ScottWesterfeld #DrCable #MaddyUglies #femslash
#YAlit #YADystopia #dystopia

ID: Digitally colorized pencil drawing, showing Maddy and Cable, both black women in their twenties, sitting across from each other as Cable attempts to take a blood sample from Maddy. Maddy looks resigned while Cable leans forward, staring at her arm concentrated. Maddy wears partially green dyed locks and comfortable looking clothes in warm, organic colors, Cable has straight hair in a futuristic bun and wears a cold, stiff looking futuristic white dress. Under them is written, on Cables side: "I think I just burst a vein" and on Maddys side "Yeah I noticed"

Don't think death would be better for her long term, but short term, given how she already didn't deal well with loosing her brain modifications...

But might be possible for Dr. Cable to be killed after her last scene.

Saw this woman looking almost exactly how I imagined Dr. Cable before the movie came out in a random fashion magazine, and just had to draw book!Cable in that outfit.

ID: Digitally colorized pencil drawing showing a thin, androgynous middle aged white woman with a bob, intense grey eyes and an aquiline nose, leaning on a wall. She wears a slightly unbuttoned button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and high-waisted trousers.

Testing the prototype

Man, the dynamic between Shay and Dr. Cable at the end of Pretties and beginning and middle of Specials is so uncomfortable and interesting
#Uglies #ShayUglies #DrCable #ScottWesterfeld #YADystopia
#SciFi #BuffWomen

ID: Shay (as a Special) punching for Dr. Cables head, other hand already pulled in a ready position, but Dr. Cable moved out of the way and used that to step closer to her. Shay is a young East Asian woman with a pointy face, undercut, tattoos all over any visible body part, and wearing a tank top and long, loose trousers. She has self-harm scars on her arms. Dr. Cable is a middle aged black woman, both wiry and very curvy, angular face, intense grey eyes, hair in a braid and wearing a white sports bra and short leggins. Both of them are sweaty and mildly bruised.

As a mission goes south, Dr. Cable gets battered badly enough that she has no choice but to be vulnerable in front of her right hand woman (and secret comrade-with-benefits) General Clayton

Associated this song with Dr. Cable for at least six years at this point, long before the movie was even announced.

Realized that I hadn't posted this here yet

Realized that Dr. Cable probably needs to re-dye her hair occasionally, but also can't imagine her in all her creepy, domineering glory to go to a hair salon. And that image was just too funny

This is just one step above shipping Dr. Cable with an OC, given that general Clayton was just blurry in the background but

a) her name is interesting, how do you become a general in a society without real wars?
b) the actress looks fascinating

Context: That unhinged Maddy/Dr. Cable pre-canon fic I wrote a few months ago. Just had to attempt to draw that
#EroticFanart #nsfw #femslash #ToxicYuri #Uglies #UgliesNetflix #DrCable #MaddyUglies

ID: Digitally colorized pencil drawing. Maddy and Dr. Cable open-mouthed kissing. Dr. Cable, a curvy, rather wiry black woman, is chained to the wall and floor of a cave, dress blood stained and half off. Maddy, also a black woman, thinner but also rather athletic looking, shirtless, sitting on her lap, her hand between her thighs. For her, the kiss looks just as much like a power play as desire. Dr. Cable doesn't seem to mind the situation at all.

Perhaps this would have been easier had Maddy not recognized the woman she once knew in Dr. Cable
