Description

Part of the Portal 2 Anniversary "1 Year of Testing" Collaboration by :iconforte-girl7: ^0^

The Journal about this can be seen here: [link]
The Finished Collaboration can be seen here: (Link will follow)

Phew~
I made it just in Time ^0^
Unfortunately I heard about this a few days before the deadline ended, so I really had to rush during drawing this picture. But I think it turned out alright^^
I used a lot of references for this one, mainly for the Portal Device, the Long Fall Boots and the Pose. I even used my little brother to help me with the pose and see if this body bending is even possible^^ Gladly it is xD
I really hope this picture is good enough for this big Collaboration >x<

To clarify a few things right away:
Yes the Portal Gun is somewhat in her arm, because it IS her left arm. She's an android if you couldn't tell^^ So because she is an Android she has an reticle in her eye, the Portal Device as well as the Long Fall Boots are directly attached to her body and parts of her like her spine in the middle of her back are made out of iron like materials.
And YES. Her neck is broken xD I planed the pose differently so the head were finished while I still changed the body. I'll just go with that this is possible, since she's an Android... >x>

Weeeeeeell and now for the good part:
The characters name is "Different" and she is an android made by GLaDOS. For testing of course.
Because Atlas and P-Body clearly didn't show enough pain while being tested something GLaDOS obviously liked a lot about humans she invented more human looking robots. Different was one of the final results.
She was shaped after one specific female who were very good at testing. Her skin is synthetic and is as thin and weak as normal skin. However, she doesn't bleed, just at very few places where the cooling liquid runs through. The rest is robotic muscles and nerves and cables which can be seen when the skin rips open. But parts of her aren't skin to support her, so she doesn't break so easily. A lot of her Torso is made of a material that is as hard as iron but as flexible as some sort of hard gum.
Her character is also somewhat based on Chell or in general humans. Without the bad tendencies of fleeing though. She learned how to behave with a few selected videos of humans being tested GLaDOS showed her and her character built up on that.
After that GLaDOS started testing with her. Her sensors for pain were a bit over sensitive though which lead to a few traumatic incidents. This is why she now avoids pain at any costs.
She weren't able to speak at the beginning which is obviously because she were shaped after Chell who couldn't speak either. But she learned how to speak with the turrets at first and then with GLaDOS' consistent mocking.
I wonder what the future hold for her^^

I thought of all of that while drawing her by the way xD

Lining the hair was the utter horror, it took me so long! But I wanted it to really look like she's falling, I hope that was worth it. I didn't like coloring it either. I like dark hair for traditional coloring but I prefer light hair when coloring it digitally xD
Coloring the rest of the body was a lot fun though ^0^
Perhaps I will draw a simple BG for this later^^

Materials: Pencil, Eraser & Cheap Copy Paper (Sketch) Paint Tool SAI (Lineart & Color)
Time: ~ 25 Hours

Aaaaanyways: I really hope you like it :heart:
