Sketch page of the bastard and his quotes. Thinking about making some of these fully colored and shaded!

Did a remake on this dude, because I have no chill whatsoever

Details & changes :

Changed his color palette a little and some of his markings (on his face mainly). Made his neck and body longer, his legs are more lion like.

He has 2 horns on his jawline, and 3 horns on his mask to resemble the hinges from the game, he now has an additional hinge on the side of the mask to really keep it in place. He also has two spikes on his wings.

He has very soft fur (not like he'd let you touch him) and his mane resembles his hair and with time he got grey streaks in both his mane, neck and tail.

He still has his tattoos on his right wrist and his watch on the other. He still also has his pocket watch that can turn him invisible just like in game.

Also fun fact : he acts like a cat pretty much. Like an asshole cat. His pupils also expands and shrinks according to emotions and situations (as well as light conditions), before he got his scar he had his pupils more expanded and relaxed, but after due to his paranoia they were almost always slit.

I hope y'all like him!

And next up will be either Tannis, Angel or Nisha!

Finally Maya! I really REALLY like how she turned out, I hope you all do too!

Some details and design choices :

She is more like a griffin than a dragon, but it felt more fitting for her, and since she is still a siren, she has the feathery wings like other sirens! She has a beak and bird like feet to match.

She has the same powers as in games. Her tattoos cover most of her left arm, side, leg and wings, and they glow lighter blue when she is using phaselock or any other of her siren abilities!

Both her tail and "hair" is very soft and flowy, and it's more like fur than feathers!

I forgot to add her book on the drawing, but she still has it and carries it everywhere with her!

Next up I'll be re-making Jack as I changed some of his design

This is some furry ass shit but dammit I vibe with that

Ironically enough, none if us are actually furries.

There they are! Zer0 as a dragon! I had a lot of fun designing them altough I wish that their suit wasn't so complicated haha

Some facts and details:

They still wear a suit and no one has any idea how they actually look like under it, just like in the games.

They have 4 fingers on their from legs and 2 toes on their hind legs (hooves in the bl3 suit). They still have their sword but we also gave them additional claws that glow blue, cut just like the sword and are retractable, just like how cat claws work.

They have wings that can be digistructed from their suit, and work just like how normal wings work. Are they purely digital or actually flesh and bone? Who knows.

They are tall and long, taller than any of the other Vault Hunters (or most any other characters to be fair). They are also extremely agile, fast and deadly.

Their visor works the same way as in game, and I used one of the cosmetic heads (Ech0location) for the shape!

Next up is Maya!

Next up finished ref sheet is Rhys! I spent a lot of time until I came up with a color palette I liked for him so I hope y'all like it too!

Some details:

He used to have teeny tiny wings, but had them, with his arm and eye, replaced with cybernetics! These new wings were designed to somewhat mimic Jack's wings and to keep the Hyperion color palette. They may look fancy, but they are completely useless and honestly just make life harder, but you do get to look cool. It is the only cybernetic he doesn't replaces after the showdown with the Handsome Jack AI.

Designed his hair (mane?) to look similar to his in-game designs, on his first, he has the flow going down more towards his back, on his episode 5 design, he has the flow go upwards, and on his bl3 design he has the up and down meet in the middle. (shown in the chibis of him)

He still has his tattoos, just like in game, completely covering his left arm.

He has ram like horns that curves in more as he gets older. I decided to give him those whisker like things on his borderlands 3 design instead of regular mustache! He can shave it off, by the way. He also gets some grey streaks to show that he got older.

Next up from me will be Zer0 then Maya!

Here he is, the hero of the story, Handsome Jack!

Some details:

I tried to stay true to his original color palette as much as I could and I'm quite happy with the results! I kept his upper body clothes, his pocket watch and his wrist watch! He also still has the tattoo on his right wrist. He also has surprisingly soft fur, and will stab you if you try to touch it.

He has two pair of tiny horns on the side of his jaw, two pair of spikes on his wings and the three main hinges on his mask has been replaced with horns. I kept one pair of hinges on the side of the mask to keep it in place.

(Timothy Lawrence looks exactly the same except some freckles under the mask, and for the later cracks in the mask, the winning hand and outfit change in bl3)
