Description "He didn't care for the missiles pounding into his back. Nor for the bullets that skimmed his metallic skin, or the snipers that used their lasers to leer at him.
He pressed on through the area, oddly calm, collected. His artificial mind blanked out as he felt the warmth of his creator, his master... his friend. Her blood was shared with him and taken to the ground below.

Knowing he would soon be destroyed, he took to this task with everything he had... not fighting back against the people who once called Sallie their team-mate. The ones he would protect if he meant pleasing her. They turned on him, but he knew even in her unconscious state, she never meant to make him to strike fear into their hearts. K.A.R.R's duty was to keep her safe, even if it meant paying the price.

If only they had trusted her."

Art trade with Wario-Girl . She asked for K.A.R.R to be carrying Sallie off the battlefield while calling out for Medic. She actually predicted it'd be comedic but uhh... well, there's me. Heh.

I've been feeling so shitty and stressed lately. It's that period in the year that always seems to pop up - where everything I've ever had a slight negative feeling for, just crashes down on top of me and no matter how much I try and clear your mind nothing works... Just pure mental exhaustion.

So instead of sitting bawling my eyes out, I decided to channel my energy into this piece. I know it's usually not good to draw on these kinds of moods, but I felt it would have been an emotional piece to make anywho. I put the appropriate songs on for my mood and just went from there.

I also wanted to show him calling out for Medic somehow but I felt that the '+!' bubble mark would have been too much for everything going on around him... so here, he has a patch on his chest area that lights up when someone needs medical attention. Of course he'd call out too though.

(I have this horrible idea of this being K.A.R.R's last duty before being destroyed by Sallie's own team... ultimate act of betrayal? Maybe.
Sallie I'm sorry I'm just churning out these ideas but you inspire me far too much dear. <3 If you want me to edit any of this pic, feel free to let me know!)

And thankyou for this opportunity. I'm beginning to find robots so fun to draw, and this came out far more epic than I thought it would. <3

Emzie, you know my reaction with this, but I'm gonna tell you anyway. The emotion you have placed into this piece has spoken out to me so strongly. I am so glad that this has given you the chance to place your emotional strains into something like this. It has fit the piece perfectly, and the little passage you wrote out is incredibly inspiring!

Doing an art-trade with you is one of the BIGGEST honours I have ever bestowned upon. Thank you so very much for doing this for me, you are truly amazing!
