My drawing for the @jndzine <3 My goal was to include something to represent each of the main games, with The Precursor Legacy getting the most attention as my favorite of the trilogy.
For my AU of Ratchet and Clank, do you think Rivet can take her robot arm off when she goes to sleep, I see it like a prosthetic, and I read that people in real life take their prosthetics off when they go to sleep, I saw that and wondered if she can actually do that.
She has spare arms in her room, so she can definitely take off her prosthetic.
Question: what's the story behind the picture you made of Ratchet in a dark-looking area looking back at the viewer with some weird evil-looking creature above him?
Ah, yeah, I suppose this does look weird out of context! This drawing is All 4 One fanart, one of the Ratchet & Clank games I...actually don't like playing, but I did enjoy the story. This game centers on a creature called a Loki that can possess life forms. The Lokis are enemies with the Cragmites as well, which is a detail I found interesting.
This fanart is basically a bad ending AU of All 4 One, where the Loki Master chose to possess Ratchet (whom he has captured in the beginning of the game) instead of the larger creatures he favors. This is why Ratchet's visible eye is blue and matches with the creature— the Loki above him is actually inside of him, I just added the visual cue to make that point clear.
The Loki himself says the "smaller ones are easy to control" ... besides the glaring fact that Ratchet is a badass and that Lombaxes being the sworn enemy of the Cragmites is an added flavor of irony, it just seemed like a cool idea to me. It's rather impossible to make Ratchet a villain under normal circumstances since he's so naturally kind-hearted, so I have to get creative if I wanna have fun with it lol.
#asks#yogacatdeskknit#ranting about ratchet#ratchet and clank#loki master#i have quite a few bad ending aus that i've played with#but all of them have ratchet being forced against his will#because i firmly believe he'd never in his right mind intentionally do something to cause harm to others#the games i find easiest to work with for bad ending aus are up your arsenal / deadlocked / all 4 one#deadlocked is the more fun one because while he is being forced... he is still conscious of his actions#i'm also fond of the aus where he actually becomes the captain after slag#i will probably do something with that eventually because i do really wanna draw him as a pirate :3
