someone please take my tablet away also my style is really inconsistent sorry
I was in the mood to draw my girl and some AUs I’ve been thinking about for a while, and these were the results.
Backstories under the cut:
warning for some dark themes.
(all of this is subject to change - nothing is set in stone yet)
Siberian Attire - In her normal canon, she crashes on Siberius as an infant, and for the majority of her life, she’s a nomad. Her clothing is designed to keep the cold out and trap her body heat, and she stitched and assembled the whole thing herself using any animal skins that she could find, shoes included. She upgraded to her current pilot suit when she decided to travel outside of the galaxy.
Valkyrie AU - Instead of landing on Siberius (her home planet), Alice is captured by the Valkyries (Cassiopeia, Carina, and Libra). I like to think that they were interested in training her into being one of the most dangerous soldiers in the galaxy, especially when the events of A Crack in Time rolled around. By the time she was in her early 20s, she was considered to be an insidious assassin, given how many victims she has mercilessly killed in combat. Had the PDF caught wind of this, she would’ve been classified as a murderer. She is considered to be an unknown threat. Alice was raised to despise her race and believe that she was unwanted by her people, so that emptiness fueled her rage to destroy Ratchet and Alister Azimuth when they crossed paths. (she has no knowledge of Tachyon btw). Evidently, she joined her “sisters” in death once she was defeated. (also her face paint was partly inspired by Brunnhilde from Thor Ragnarok)
DreadZone AU - you know it wouldn’t be an AU post if I didn’t have my character in the most popular AU in the fandom. But instead of being a fighter or engineer, Alice is actually a scout. She travels around with the commandos that capture the heroes (for backup mostly) and delivers them to Vox - all for a handsome price. One thing that needs to be clear is that she chose on her own free will to join the team. First of all, she needed the money, and secondly, her prolonged abandonment and unstable mental state pushed her to believe that she had absolutely nothing to lose. Unlike her true nature, she’s considered to be emotionless and jaded.
Because of her occupation, the collar doesn’t exactly function the same way as the contestants. It will still detonate if she breaks the law, but she’s free to roam to any part of the headquarters and do her job. However, a GPS was also installed so that she can’t attempt to escape. The one time she stood up to Vox, her collar does not detonate. Instead, her punishment for her insubordination was a direct strike from the Eviscerator’s titanium blades, leaving her blind in her right eye. Once everyone is liberated, she’s free to return home, but because she can’t bear the fact of being alone again, she takes her own life.
Some of these might be updated to make more sense, but these are the AU’s I have for Alice in a nutshell. Hope y’all enjoy them!
This is Eve’s older sister, Rosie, who was separated from her brother and sister during Tachyon’s massacre. Years later, after discovering the fate of her siblings, she was attacked by space pirates and was never seen again.
Rosie’s design is modeled after Angela Cross, but I tried my best to add some unique features so that she wasn’t a direct copy.
This was really fun to draw; I just love drawing lady lombaxes :}
Don't you dare look out your window, darling everything's on fire...
The war outside our door keeps raging on...
Hold onto this lullaby...even when the music’s g o n e...

Since I couldn’t really keep up with Inktober this year, I decided to draw more angsty things lol.
So for today’s personal prompt, I wanted to draw something from the Lombax Massacre.
I have this headcanon that Lombax mothers carried their children around using a “papoose,” which is a type of bag used to carry a child on one's back. Sometimes, though, they just use blankets and wrap them around their waists.
In trying to escape with her infant son, Katherine ends up getting shot in the chest and suffered nasty burns from the flames in her home (yes, her eye’s bleeding). The wound was severe enough that she ended up stumbling into a nearby hospital (it was right next to her house) to get out of the line of fire. In doing so, the building ended up collapsing, bringing her and countless others down with it.
The combination of being crushed by debris and the blood loss from the GSW proved to be fatal, as she ended up dying from her injuries. But she was able to shield the baby enough so he was mostly unharmed. She was already gone when Kaden eventually found her.
I really wanted to push my art boundaries so have some blood :>
I can’t help that my RP blog inspired some more art lol. This was based on another thread with blind-au-ratchet (who is no longer on tumblr sadly) but I guess you could interpret it as normal Ratchet since his eyes are closed idk.
Since they’re not on here anymore, I put the thread together on Wattpad so y’all can read the entire thing at once if you’re interested :)

this comic idea was actually based on an image I saved on my camera roll back in January 2017. So I’ve been wanting to to do this for 2 YEARS but never had the confidence to do it lmao. In fact, I started this drawing like months ago, but with SATs n stuff, it kinda sat in my folder unfinished for a while. I FINALLY FINISHED IT ENOUGH WHERE I’M CONTENT WITH IT. (also please excuse the language)
In case you’re new here or are unfamiliar with some of my characters, this is Katherine, my fan interpretation of Ratchet’s mother. I created her in November 2016, when I first joined the R&C fandom. She’s usually really feisty and rebellious, but she can be level-headed, caring, and down-to-earth when she needs to be. Katie only really lets herself go when she’s with people she trusts. One of those people is Kaden, which is why she’s crying her eyes out while watching How to Train Your Dragon with him. (I don’t care if that movie exists in this universe or not shut up)

Original idea: I found it on Google Images but I don’t know the main source.
1) Sara, ever since I first discovered your art at the end of 2016 on Tumblr, I’ve been motivated to kickstart my own art career path. At that time of my life, drawing was only a hobby for me, so I don’t think I would’ve pursued it as a serious career had it not been for you. What I said in 2017 still rings true to this day; you’re such an amazing inspiration to me. I followed the development of Meredith since the beginning and it’s amazing how far both she and you have come. It was the first time I really saw someone take the time to go through different designs to flesh out a character, and it was so cool to me. Not only that, but Mere’s design was something that I had never seen in the R&C fandom before (at that time). Also, thanks to your turnaround video, I keep listening to Droit devant on repeat, merci beaucoup. Even though we don’t talk much, I want to say thank you so much for putting up with me when I asked for all those requests two years ago, and I wish you the best of luck in life outside of university. Hope to see more of your awesome art in the near future! :D
2) Emma, it still blows my mind that back in 2017, you were willing to order a commission from me even when my art was definitely not the best, let me be honest. You’re such a cool person and your art is sO GOOD, I’m shook. A while ago, I saw the design sketches for Malon’s sister, and I was like I MUST DRAW HER. But it wasn’t until recently that I was comfortable enough with my art style to even attempt to draw her. :v (I dunno, but she really seems like a Layla to me. Just an idea lol) Once I can get a paypal, I’ll definitely consider getting a commission from you. Thanks for taking my last minute request that one day we started talking lol. I love all your characters so much and I can’t wait to see what else you’ll come up with. STAY AWESOME! :D
3) A special thank you to my best DA friend, of course. Jamie, you were the very first actual friend I made on DA and you’re still as funny and memeful as ever. You were my very first collab ever, and you were the one who taught me how to shade properly and to use the Add filter on FireAlpaca. Before DA, I never knew someone could be as weird and goofy as me and loved drawing as much as I do. Here we are now. :) We had our little roadblock in the past (after what happened lol), but I’m so happy we can still send memes back and forth like we used to (aND MARVEL MEMES YES). I saw that you were in the GW fandom, and I wanted to challenge myself (and stop drawing lombaxes for a moment) so I drew your asura babie! It took me a hot minute to find references aND I hope they came out okay! ALSO I LOVE THE SHIRT DUH. Thanks for being such an awesome person and my favorite art teacher. Here’s to another year of meme f*ckery, my friend. :D
