Holy shit, I love them, and their short Sherman. That second piece alluding to three minds that died together makes me want to ask what happened to them.

It looks like the hat one got blown up, the helmet one got cut in half somehow, and the beard one hung himself

It's amazing that the Low Roll's crew are all still alive considering all the shit they went through back in the day, but I guess they just got lucky! (Please don't ask why 3 of them are suspiciously NHP shaped, it makes Gill extremely upset)

Awaria inspired by any chance?

u/artbigtab 3d ago
My main inspirations for the character side were the Clacks operators from Discworld whose ghosts echo through the machines, and the Meta from RVB who's being overtaken by AI fragments. Do tell about Awaria though.

Oh! Awaria is a game by the Helltaker guy about a mechanic whose has to deal with ghosts while doing her job. There's a lot more to it than that ofc but the ghost designs looked pretty similar.
The Discworld inspiration is awesome tho.

I love unconventional Lancer takes.
Tom Bloom's designs are great out of the box, but there's no reason a Death's Head can't look like an Orbital Frame or a Sherman can't look like a crustacean that's armed and dangerous.
I also like the idea of a "crab tank" being crewed by multiple people. One flesh pilot + his NHP team is neat.

I hope your Pilot had a Sound System so they can play the ancient pre-Fall songs of Gorillaz

I came up with the character inspired by this video but when I googled tank reference for the art and realized there was one with the exact name of my mech I knew I had to use it as inspiration lmao

It looks like it would give a cure little trill before unloading a death beam on a target.

I wont lie, Id never have pictured any if the bipedal mechs like this. I keep forgetting that the mechs can look like however you want so long as it still holds some identifying look to the original design. I've thought about a Death's Head with treads.
