Two characters in an art project called Kalamitys. It's about a world once ruled by a planetary government which collapsed after most of their technology was disabled or broken by a rogue AI and the survivors centuries after the event. The pic is a rough idea of how they look like, which might vary in later pieces slightly as I get better ideas for clothing and makeup.

The idea for Katja is that she's like this cool, tough and aloof lady who talks a bit robotically and sounds kinda evil but is warm when you get to know her. Her design is mostly settled though her colour scheme varies. I think her armour changes colour.
Bio: Katja is a mass produced cyborg created shortly before the remnant of the planetsry government was dismantled by newer factions in a great war. While there were millions of cyborgs like her after the great war ended, most of them self destructed or experienced techno-neurosis or were destroyed by other factions or monsters. Katja was lucky her brain was resilient enough that she kept her wits and will, but without a purpose she wandered the wastes, hunting creatures and scavenging parts for sustenance until encountering Halley.

The idea for Halley is a character who's more impish in behaviour and stature and still learning how to be a good princess (really just building rapport with people in the city, and also going on adventures to get cool stuff for them). For this character, I want to give her a more 'catlike' aesthetic though I still haven't settled with her features yet. Maybe in the future she will have an animu fang, perhaps some cat-like buns. She's supposed to have almond eyes but those are hard to draw in my style, I'll figure out how they look later.

Bio: Halley is a princess generated by the AI of the new cerebromorph commonwealth. Her body were grown in a vat, and her neural synapses were pruned following a recorded neuro-etch. She was generated like hundreds of others to be a figurehead for one of the many brain councils eithin the commonwealth. While making a pilgrimage to some sacred site, she was attacked by bandits but was saved by Katja.

Shared bio: Since then the two women have formed a strange relationship, Halley would provide Katja with a place to stay in her city and Katja would be her personal bodyguard. Together they go on a bunch of adventures to explore the strange world of kalamitys, or help the brains in their city.
