A Borderlands Sirens series I did back in February/March for Patreon

Thought they'd look good all together like this, so decided to post them here.

Limited palette challenge: Commandant Steele

[faeriekorrsartforge]

Two of the best character from my favorite video game series - Borderlands!! I made these for a Borderlands fan zine - @borderlandszine. And I am so happy to have been a part of it!!

So many amazing artists and writers worked on it :)

now with five of the six* sirens all in one place, and what we got from maya in fustercluck, surely we're going to have to actually Get siren lore in BL4. surely.

Edge pens are surprisingly fun to work with. They give doodles a little special funky touch.

So like. Did we know sleeper sirens were a thing before or is this a double reveal, along with Steele's background?

look at my elaborate siren lore boy

[magnuficentwo]

Mr. Randy Pitchford. Sir. What the HELL did you mean by this. Are you gonna elaborate at all. Sir ?

[phenikas]

here's a "joke OC" I made for April Fool's, the joke got lost in translation though.

A Lilith lookalike made from Steele (BL1), Lilith (BL2+3) and Lor (BL3). Since both Steele and Lor were at some point in development early iterations of Lilith, I wanted to play around with that idea

as you can tell, it's only funny if you know the context, so it didn't really fit with the theme... I do like how she ended up looking though, might make her into a proper OC someday

I'm assuming Vex's Siren abilities were originally Steele's then

that or Vex is the Seventh Siren, given her purple tattoos don't really correlate with Steele's

[angelonhelios]

Going into the quote page and remembering Angel tells you she's an artificial intelligence for most of the story. Probably because Jack told her to. And thinking Damn she has been getting dehumanized for years even when people do listen to her because they just assume they're talking to a machine, in a universe that already devalues robots despite their sentience. Aigh. Augh.a ugh

ITS SO...esp with the way roland talks about her when theyre planning out how to get to the bunker, its so depersonalizing. and i understand why he would be that way because he’s spent the last five years thinking shes a machine, and now a machine with malicious intent, but :(

literally every single named ai in the series shows human levels of sentience and emotional capability but they are clearly seen as having less autonomy. claptrap ofc is the most obvious answer but it also extends to felicity and balex ect. but by being forced to take the role of an ai angel also experiences that same treatment even from people she has known since she was a child. and its just. AUGH. a million deaths upon me.

So i’ll just go ahead and drop a few borderlands body temperature headcanons so if youre interested they’re right under the cut ⬇️

- Some siren powers influence the body heat of its user. Trance users tend to have a body temperature way above average, though they still aren’t hotter than Walk users, who are walking furnaces. Lock users and Leech users, on the other hand, both have very low body temperatures.

- This is pushes even further for born sirens (I could go on for whole paragraphs about my headcanon that folks who were born sirens should be special but that’ll be for another post) and sirens who enhance their abilities with eridium frequently. Therefore, Lilith is scorching hot while Maya is freezing cold, and don’t even get me started on the Calypsos. (hyperboles)

- Shift doesn’t have much of an effect on it’s user’s body temperature, however, due to the years of constant exposure to eridium, Angel also has very cold body temperature.

- I don’t really know much about Steele, but seeing her whole « cold » motif, one could assume what my opinion is on that.

- Krieg is the ignition point on the triangle of ignition (hyperbole). Very high body temperature due to the experiments and the constant setting himself on fire thing. (Hot x cold Psyren real)

- Folks from Pandora tend to have body temperature above human average. Also, Salvador has high body temp, even in Pandoran standards.

- Gaige’s is above average (Hot x cold Gaigel also real)

- Axton’s is also hotter than average, although it’s closer to average than Gaige.

- If there is something human/alien under that suit, Zer0’s body temp is significantly below average.

Sorry that’s all from me. I just. Really love the vh2s. And sirens.

Feel free to reblog with your own hcs, i’d love to see em! /nf
