Iraya-Sama’s RR Debut!

Resident ecchi artist and Hetalia fan Iraya-Sama is the newest addition to the Raven Republic blogging team. She’ll be in charge of shifting our attention away from giant robots every once in a while through the use of cutesy and oppai!

For her debut piece, she wanted to share a (NSFW!) photomontage of her progression as an artist all the way back from 2003 up to today.

Happy 4th Year Anniversary Raven Republic!

Welp, it’s that time of the year. Raven Republic was founded on August 13, 2006. We couldn’t resist posting a new colored Sophie Emilia picture to commemorate this event, drawn and colored yet again by the very talented Trace 02. RR’s cover girl still looks as fresh as ever. With all the events and meetings RR’s members have been through, we all hope to expect RR to stay around much longer.

Happy Birthday RR!

Summer Sophie

Ever wondered who the little chibi girl on the side of some articles? She’s no other than Sophie Emilia, Raven Republic’s very own covergirl created by none other than our very own Trace. For this summer illustration, Sophie is in the mood for soaking up some rays. Can you tell which AC core part resembles those patterns on her top?

Thanks Trace for creating another wonderful piece. You may want to look at more pictures of the lovely Sophie under the appropriate tag.

Armored Core 5 Concept Art

From released some concept art for the upcoming Armored Core 5 inside the AC Chronicle Art Works booklet that came with Last Raven Portable, which gives us a glimpse of what AC designs and what parts to expect in the upcoming game. From the looks of things, the designs seem a little more bulky and gritty compared to Armored Core 4 and For Answer. More pictures after the jump:

Volpin Props Make Me Salivate

Show me a person who’s played Fallout 3, and I’ll show you someone who won’t be able to resist this AER9 Laser Rifle replica. Heck I’m sure even some of those who haven’t played the game won’t be able to resist this. Just look at it! It’s literally having the same damn thing (except it doesn’t fry people to charred skeletons). This one, along with many other video game-inspired swag, was created by Harrison “Volpin” Krix. More samples of his work and links after the jump.

You’d wanna see this, trust me.

The Armored Core Effect

Forum member J.E. Magog was busy creating these model images using an SLR camera, light painting, and a lot of creativity. The resulting images are nothing short of awesome.

Bunny Sophie And Then Some…

Whassat? More Sophie? Granted! RR covergirl Sophie Emilia dresses in a bunny costume in celebration of the new ARSH head part for Silent Line portable. For now, you get a cute colored pic. Bunny costume after the jump.

New RR Covergirl Sophie Emilia Illustration By Trace-02

RR covergirl Sophie Emilia has been given a new illustration by the talented hands of Trace, which only serves to delight everyone. Currently a work in progress, this picture is soon intended to grace the background of Raven Republic soon enough. A second picture after the jump which is a preview of an upcoming comic tentatively titled “Conversations with an A.I. AC”
