Karyana... Borderlands style

Description

I had a lot of time to draw today, so I did a couple of pics. This one took the most time.

As I worked pictures of original characters from games I played or play-tested, this one is probably the darkest I've gone for Karyana. There's a lot of things I was able to translate from her story into the Borderlands setting, so here goes:

Kary lived with her two sisters, Laura and Kate, on a planet away from the war over the Vaults. However, when Laura and Kary started showing signs of "phase" abilities, just like the Sirens, a Hyperion ship came and kidnapped the three. However, during an attack on the ship, the three sisters were separated as their escape pods were send it different directions. Kate's pod was picked up by the Crimson Lance, Laura's was captured by Hyperion, while Kary's crashed onto Pandora.

Kary's misadventures had only started, as she was captured by a group of bandits while she was critically injured. The crash of her pod and its explosion burnt part of her face and ripped her arm off at the elbow. She thought her fate was sealed when the bandits tried to sell her to Hyperion, but a bizarre twist led her to be saved by one of the Vault Haunters, an axe-wielding madman named Kreig.

After meeting the other Vault Hunters at Sanctuary, one of them - a mechanic-like girl named Gaige - fixed her up with a new arm. However, it was there she learned that her "phase" abilities only worked when her sisters were with her, and that it was under Handsome Jack's orders that they had been kidnapped in the first place. Even worse, both of her sisters had been found... only to have been captured by Hyperion mechs.

Fearing that both her sisters were dead, Kary took arms and nicknamed herself 'Kali' - in reference to an old goddess of war -, her inner rage bottled up like a grenade, waiting to explode onto everyone who did her and her sisters wrong - Psycho Bandits, Hyperion... any who stood in her way.

Favored weapons: Sniper Rifle, SMG, Shotgun
Melee weapon: a broken machette - the remnants of a gift Kate had given her as a birthday gift

It's much detail on the sketch.
Good job, Seb!
