Amanda + Borderlands = lots of screaming and punching things. It keeps her entertained, for sure.

Lots of art experiments on this one, where I decided I'd dig into Painter's tool set a bit more and try out oils for the water and oil pastels for the more gritty surfaces of Pandora. I colored the game characters with the tool I usually use for inking (Gouache, opaque smooth) and tried to do the shading a bit different, adding the occasional detail here and there in the color work instead of with the pen, to try and emulate the game's distinct look. It's far from perfect, but definitely helped separate the game's world from the gamer's, which I strived to do throughout the four entries.

The name sucks and I'm seeking a better one. Ideas are welcome. This was hard and I wish I could've expanded on the ideas more. That about covers it.

If people like it I'll look into doing more of it, starting with fleshing out what's already there and seeing where things go.
