I have created a backstory to try to fit the artwork above.
"88", real name Diana Miller, is the 88th Caretaker of the sleeper ship Salvation that has been traveling from the ruined planet Earth to an Earthlike world that is over 100 light years away from the Solar System. The Salvation can only go as fast as one-tenth the speed of light, so the ship was intended to take a total of 1,000 years to reach its destination.
Though she appears to be a teenage girl, 88 is actually over 1,000 years old, having spent most of her existence in suspended animation along with thousands of other teenagers dispatched from Earth as its biosphere was slowly collapsing. She was awakened from her sleep by the 87th Caretaker, who intended Diana to take his place while he returned to sleep. To prepare her for her lonely task of overseeing the Salvation's operations, 87 had Diana undergo severe mental conditioning which suppressed both her normal human emotions and her sex drive, making her rather like a Vulcan of Star Trek. Well, not quite; sometimes her original personality does surface anyway and makes her feel very depressed.
Despite her lack of emotion, 88 still needs to be entertained, and she mostly gets it in the form of video games. The Salvation's computer has hundreds of video games programmed into it, but 88 also has access to game consoles that were taken from Earth and were originally owned by an earlier Caretaker who collected them; now they are hers.
About two years after 88 began her duties, the ship arrived at the targeted planet and she found the world to be suitable for colonization, so after the analysis of the world is complete she will begin reviving the other people on the ship, including the other Caretakers who served before her. Once they are all revived, 88 hopes to have her conditioning reversed so she can live like a normal teenager again (something denied to all the other Caretakers, who served until they were middle aged). She knows that she will likely be expected to have children quickly to help populate the world too.

Hoping you check these comments still! Your art is all over YouTube and it has such a curious feel to it. It led me here in hopes that you are interested in collaborating on a manga/anime. There is so much depth to your work it's really next level. So much to be said in such a simple expression and background. Id be honored if you'd be willing to collaborate on something revolving this art. Please, do contact me.

So who is 88-Girl?
It looks like she is the only person awake on some sort of space ship, where the rest of the people are in Cryostasis, right?

Awesome work. I like how this series ties together. What I got from it is that she's on a ship going for a several year long journey. It appears that she's been selected as the one crew member who must stay awake to maintain the systems for the duration of the commute. A boring and lonely job.

I feel like I'm the only one who sees the story told in these drawings. 88 is the 88th clone as shown in the R.E.S.E.T. drawing on the wall there's an 85 crossed out then an 86 which is also crossed out followed with an 87 which isn't crossed out. 87 isn't crossed out because 88 is just moving in as implied by her unpacking her stuff. Then she slowly explores her ship. And C.O.D.E.B.L.U.E. shows her looking at all the other cyrogenic freezing tubes where the other clones are.

I just realized the meaning behind the crossed off numbers and the fact she is likely the 88th clone moving into this role based on this image... When I realized that I actually cried. Such a lonely existence. I love your work don't ever stop creating art.

Ok all the little perverts aside, I only came here to say I find the backround relaxing,for some reason.Ha! Maybe it's because it gave me a flashback of the N64 game Perfect Dark.Even its music.Great work.

I've been looking at this image for nearly a year, and I just realized, she's on a cryo-ship, isn't she? Possibly the only one awake, or one of very few.
