The Raven Republic
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.
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!
Pretty much the trailer that will sum up everything that one could expect from Front Mission Evolved (and possibly more given the screenshot). The new trailer features new in-game footage, developer interviews, and a better overall idea on what the game feels like. This possibly shows and tells more about the game besides playing Front Mission Evolved itself. Hit the jump for the new trailer:
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.
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.
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”
Girls, guns, giant robots and giant monsters!
All of the above blowing stuff up!
These things can be seen in this mindless and mind blowing trailer for the upcoming Japanese movie Assault Girls; a film that seems to have all the elements of an adrenaline pumping anime style, sci-fi action flick. Oh and I almost forgot, it has a story:
In the aftermath of global thermonuclear war, the Earth’s surface has been turned into a desert battlefield. Three beautiful female hunters: Gray (Meisa Kuroki), Lucifer (Rinko Kikuchi), and Colonel (Hinako Saeki) traverse the barren landscape armed with powerful assault rifles to fight a group of deadly sand-dwelling monsters called “sunakujira” (sand whales). When the the epic battle eventually seems to be coming to an end, the sparkle of muzzle flash dies down and assault ship flies overhead. Suddenly, a gigantic super mutation called “Madara Sunakujira” attacks.
Assault Girls will have a Japanese national premier after a limited screening on December 17, 2009.

RR cover girl Sophie Emilia shows more of her artistic side with the following original pictures by the talented Trace-02. First off is an artistic rendition of Sophie in the vein of Art Neuvo, influenced by the style of Alfons Mucha. I may have been enticed by some spell the illustration may have cast on me, and I can’t help but enjoy looking at the picture.
