This was inevitable. FromSoftware’s fanbase is flooded with gifted folks—one thing in regards to the studio’s behavior of constructing textured, detailed worlds and iconic characters has set hearth to artist’s imaginations time and time once more. Even the lore movies have professionally-rendered animatics now.
So that you’d suppose {that a} sport with a comparatively centered aesthetic—killer robots and post-apocalyptic cityscapes—would draw these artists away from rendering NPCs and in direction of depicting its environments and glossy mechs. Seems, giving your handler a husky voice and hiding his face utterly has made folks go feral with a pill pen.

I actually did not want this. Handler Walter wants to have the ability to give me a mission briefing with out me picturing these smokeshows—however I’m cursed, like these fan artists, with good style. Other than the cursed decals you’d anticipate, Armored Core 6’s neighborhood has been totally saturated with superior fanart of the sport’s NPCs, in addition to interpretations of the participant pilot 621/Raven.

Not even ALLMIND (who so far as I do know is simply the in-universe equal of Siri for digital wargames) is protected from an unquenchable thirst to show these faceless characters into folks you would conceivably date.

Nonetheless, I am not too shocked by the activated imaginations on show right here. Whereas FromSoftware’s ordinary model of storytelling lumps its core forged behind a veil of thriller and cryptic speech, the handlers and pilots you chat with Armored Core 6 are refreshingly direct and informal—brimming with character and consistently bickering with each you and one another.
It is solely pure that artists would wish to create their very own spins on them. In spite of everything, you solely converse to them over the intercom—so that you’re free to cook dinner up no matter headcanons you want. For instance, freelance illustrator Kuba’s attractive interpretation of boyfriend materials V.IV Rusty will hang-out me each time I hear the phrase “Buddy” on my routine rampages by way of Operation Wallclimber.
