I don't know how or why I thought Adra and Ana were just besties but it's fun to know they get into a romantic relationship? Or so I assume from the eclipse shitpost you made. But still, cute! I hope Sol Invictus is still a thing since I haven't kept up with it since like, 2020? I hope men still have huge tits though you were an expert at that

Oh yeah, the 2021 version had a lot of last minute changes because I was worried of weirding out the viewer with Adra always reincarnating and Ana being the same through centuries. Which ruined the story I wanted to tell. They're supposed to be tragic because Ana loves someone who is different persons and the previous one is gone forever.

Their dynamic is:

Ana is a golem whose job is to protect Adra through all of her incarnations, they don't always have the same relationship because Adras all have different personalities, they're all different people at this point. Sometimes Ana and Adra don't even meet (because of various circumstances) but if they do, they always have a strong bond. Mostly because Ana doesn't want to go through the pain of losing their lover again and again.

But in Adra's current incarnation, they are really in love. Adra is very obvious about it but Ana has a horrible time expressing feelings and choses annoyance since it's easier to deal with than vulnerability.

yeah the dudes are still huge

Heyya

Any tips on drawing helmets? Been trying to learn how to draw but haven't seen any good tutorials

Hi!

I myself have a hard time drawing helmets, that's why i haven't done a shitton of Helldivers art yet lol

I usually “sculpt” them the same way you’d do if you were using a software like Zbrush… but in 2D. If you don’t use that software the best way that I could explain it if I put a shape on top of another. The base shape is a sphere, then I elongate the sphere to look more like a helmet, then add more shapes depending on what I need

Oh my god I was just thinking about asks the other day and then it wasn't available so I'm gonna use this. I found you through Armored Core and I've stayed for the OC art because the SUN GOD??? Immaculate. I've been dying to know, is there like, a post on here with more information on the lore of these characters you've created? I'm so invested.

Hi and thank you for asking

I'm admittedly the WORST person to ask their OCs about because i have dozens of different AUs where those OCs doesn't even have the same names, relationships, ages, status, powers, etc because i really use them as barbie dolls

And even the lore of main universe (sol invictus) keeps changing (hence why i keep deleting the webcomic). But I promise I'm gonna try to make a definitive artbook.

However the main thing about the story that mostly doesn't change and you can read it under here:

Apologies, i write badly, english is not my native language and my friends usually proofread my comics to make the dialogues sound more natural

Basically gods are aliens, they're space entities such as planets, stars, black holes, etc or even phenomenon like wind, thunder... and are more or less sentient. Once there was a huge star called Paragon that imploded into a black hole. When it imploded, its light (called Hyperion) was ejected and what remained was a black hole called Exodus (which will later become the main antagonist). Basically Paragon's consciousness was split in half between Exodus and Hyperion.

Hyperion, gathering dust and debris left by supernovae created the original sun god "Sennacherib" (this guy). After that, Hyperion created the planet on which the story takes place and the rest of its solar system (hence, the other deities).

Now comes the problem that Exodus is not happy about being left into a literal corpse state and it thinks that if it can absorb Hyperion back, it will become the star it was once before (but it's too late there's no coming back from being a black hole). Therefore Exodus desperately tries to reach the solar system Hyperion created (in the form of dark particles called Miasma that corrupt (rot or turn into monsters) and eat away everything they touch). To defend itself, Hyperion creates beings of lights (an army of angels) whose job is to destroy anything that's been contaminated by that darkness. Hyperion itself turns is busy keep up a barrier that stops Exodus from sending even more miasma (but like, things slip in, and its the angels job to kill those things).

Hyperion especially has ONE angel whose role is not only to manage mortals (like humans and other sentient races) but also to absorb the Miasma inside himself because you cannot get rid of Miasma, you have to put it somewhere. That angel is Lucifer. Lucifer is the strongest of angels, it's said his light was even brighter than the sun itself. And Sennacherib, the sun god, loved him. They were involved romantically.

Unfortunately, after thousands of years, Hyperion senses that Lucifer is reaching its limits and it's going to be problematic if they don't get rid of him soon and send him into the void where he'll cease to exist. He's going to become another Exodus with how much Miasma he's absorbed.

So Hyperion asks Sennacherib to help create a new replacement for Lucifer, one that will be less powerful, easy to kill if things go wrong but still able to absorb as much Miasma. So Sennacherib creates Adramelekh from one of his 6 arms.

The problem is Adramelekh is a body without a soul. It's literally just a pile of light. He asks Lucifer to give him a piece of his soul so he can start from it and create a full person. But he explains that Adramelekh will replace Lucifer as the light bringer. At first Lucifer is perplexed because he doesn't know what will happen to him once Adra replaces him. But he also sees it as creating a child who is the fruit of their love and accepts. The first incarnation of Adramalekh is created. She's mortal but she's not allowed to reincarnate like everyone else due to how much Miasma she absorbs, she will corrupt all the other souls. Instead she's reborn from her ashes like a phoenix every time she dies.

Meanwhile Exodus decides to launch another attack on Hyperion by creating a being of darkness called Death. Death will infiltrate the planet, live there and slowly corrupt everything as to force Hyperion to leave. The plan is to basically plant 3 seeds of chaos into powerful beings that will force weaken Hyperion.

Death plants the first seed, Pestilence, inside Lucifer during a battle. The seed drives Lucifer crazy, he starts questioning everything and eventually finds out Hyperion planned to get rid of him as soon as Adra was ready to replace him and cast him into the void. So he rebels against Hyperion, beings corrupting everything around him, but loses the war. [I have to keep brainstorming what happens to him, but he doesn't die, he's just incapacitated for like 3000 years]. The saddest part was Lucifer didn't become evil of his own, but mostly because he found out he had been betrayed by his loved ones. he still had the mental capacity to fight the seed if it wasn't for that

Later, Death plants War into a character. But that's spoiler and tbh some people who know the story probably know who. War's job is to plunge the world into chaos with constant wars.

But death's ultimate plan is to plant Famine inside Adramelekh and turn her into a black hole that will absorb everything Hyperion created.

In the future the old Sun god is badly injured and he's forced to merge with Adramelekh who then takes his place. The problem is she also loses her sense of identity because her consciousness is confused with his and the many corrupted souls she's absorbed through the millennia.

Now to Anamelekh (who doesn't have human ears like in this pic, i made a mistake).

Ana is a golem created to protect Adramelekh or execute her if she ever becomes evil. I am still brainstorming weather or not Ana used to be human. But basically Anamelekh has known dozens of Adras. They all died young for various reasons (there's one guy who keeps making sure Adramelekh dies as soon as she's reborn). All of them had different personalities, but Ana loved all of them (Well... those that survived long enough).

Except the current one (at first) who seems immature, stubborn and selfish.

Ana will also have to merge with the old moon god and become one too later in the story.

Slave Zero X features one of the best gay love story in gaming, which unfortunately wasn't marketed. An acquaintance of mine art directed it and i strongly recommend checking it out. It's available on all platforms.

Your art is amazing, and brings me great joy to see on my dash!

thanks!

i will keep curning out more

Thank you 😊

[iuciferic]

He-hey, asks are back! Just wanted to let you know your stuff is *amazing*, and biased as I may be towards the armored core content, I've gotta say that you have one of my favorite mecha styles I've seen. People can be jerks, but keep it up! You're doing wonderfully! 🫂

Hey! Thanks a lot

I’m gonna keep learning to draw mecha and even more biomechs

Oh don’t worry I’ve been told it’s just one very deranged person who’s been stalking me for 3 years now, malding that my OC’s are somewhat popular (they claimed that I was spamming my webcomic, which I only did twice a week)

But don’t worry everything is fine

[iuciferic]

Hey have you read Golden Kamuy? it seems like such a you manga that I would be surprised if you haven't, but I have never seen you talk about it, after a point in the manga the autor just loves to sexualize muscular men that are almost all some level of deranged murder machine.

Yeah I started reading years ago but I never got far since I get distracted easily

The author is big brained
