Help me find art!

I'll say right from the start that this is a bit of a selfish thread post, but I was hoping that the community may know of some more resources or in general be more Internet savvy than I am.

I'm going to be introducing a broken soul antipaladin in my game, a family member of a PC twisted by the BBEG to be a weapon against the party.

What I'd like is concept art or something, but I've had a lot of difficulty finding a picture that could fit such a concept that isn't your standard "sexy" fantasy art.

I'm looking for:
1) Human female
2) Tortured, tainted, or otherwise gruesome (broken soul)
3) Looks capable of fighting (antipaladin)

To make it a little more fun, we can also discuss stats, tactics, or anything else related to the NPC. The CR is likely between 8 and 10.

Thanks ahead of time to anyone who even bothers to read this post, and to anyone who takes the time to reply!

You'll hardly go wrong searching here:

If you can give a few more details I wll pass this off to my resident, always looking for inspiration, artist, if you would like. No promises, but I will check.

Hey Secret Wizard, the last two links you had seem to be broken, or is that just for me?

Pretty good stuff, Secret Wizard! Not exactly what I'm looking for, but I like the last one for an antipaladin in general.

To give more details as requested, I'm looking for someone who really embodies the broken soul template. Someone physically and psychologically tortured, that sort of thing.

hard to find a scarred woman in realistic armor who looks foreboding but there you go

That one is pretty good!

But yes, it is hard to find this sort of picture.

Here are some pics from the Paizo Blog:
Nualia
Evil Seelah
Altara
Paracountess
The last two are not necessarily evil, of course, but it's open to interpretation.

Thank you for taking the time to look and post links.

I'm not quite getting "broken soul" from either of them. It's looking more and more difficult for inspirational art for this.

It's been a few days since I've replied here, but I found a couple pictures that I may go with. Being slightly indecisive, I'll post here to see what people think:

One
Two
Three

With one of those three pictures as a basic concept art, I'm up for hearing ideas on a broken soul antipaladin. I'm looking to build her as about a CR 10 character, so maybe about level eight or nine.

Sorry, I don't get "broken soul" from any of those.

That's the hard part, isn't it?

Well, for one, I expect someone who has been tortured to not be too kind about showing too much flesh.. after all, their bodies are not something they relate to. It's flesh, constantly dying.

To me it's more like this at least.

That's a good picture. I don't think it's what I want, but probably on the right path. And thanks for all the help with this silly selfish request, Secret Wizard :)

One thing I'd been considering was any picture that I could say had artificial limbs, demon flesh of a sort, to hammer home the twisted nature of the broken soul and make the PCs wonder how they can hate or fight against someone who suffered so much. They're also the sort to try and talk to things.

Here are a few from MTG cards that might apply...
