“Check THIS out!”
Knightmare Corruptor Iblee & Beckoned by the World Chalice & Ningirsu the World Chalice Warrior
Full art:
Clothes:
Top: “Cloth. Flows with the wind normally”
Arms: “Left and right have the same design”
Job:
Beckoned: “Toss that away already, Ib!”
“Big brother working on the fields”
Illustrator’s comment:
“For convenience, I call all of them Ningirsu. At first, he was still ‘The Beckoned One’, and that already gave me a creepy feeling, but after being told ‘he’s meticulous, strong, and good looking, yet mentally unstable’, and ‘he might become an enemy’, plus with the design of the little sister being created at the same time, I had a pretty good guess where this was going. It’s the usual development, however, as I was working on the art for various themes in parallel, by the time I realized, Ningirsu had created so many things to deal with, that he was truly terrifying.”
TL note: The JP name for Beckoned by the World Chalice can be structured as “[The] One Beckoned by the World Chalice”, and the comment is omitting who’s doing the beckoning, hence why the name looks weird.
Longirsu, the Orcust Orchestrator:
Full art:
World Armor & Shield & Lance:
Eyes:
“Eyes of someone that will not forgive anyone or anything, not even himself”
Galatea, the Orcust Automaton:
Full art:
Weapon:
“Drum roll”
Front body:
Top: “The common parts in the chest have a lot of details, so I’m simplifying its shape”
Bottom: “Ib’s ribbon”
Hair:
“This is not hair, but soft plastic (like a figure)”
Lower body:
Left: “The inside is only visible from this side”
Right: “Drum roll”
Bottom right: “A reed from a clarinet or similar”
Dance:
“A mobility range beyond what’s humanly possible”
Illustrator’s comment:
“I wanted to preserve Ib’s thigh ribbon design no matter what, so for this one I got the OK to keep it as a pattern. I believe I did a good job in giving an artificial object an ominous and sorrowful aura. Galatea’s motif as an Orcust is a clarinet(s). I think Ningirsu, its creator, likely being a perfectionist, made sure that every part that is a musical instrument plays its sounds properly. Truly, a man to fear.”
Chosen by the World Chalice & Auram the World Chalice Blademaster & Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax
Full art:
Shield:
Growth:
Avramax’s shield:
“Floats, also doubles as a shield”
Sword:
“‘World Legacy Sword’, the key after integrating all the other legacies”
TL note: Just in case, the “World Legacy Sword” here is written as “Star Sword”, like all the other World Legacies (Star + Item). It may be yet another “World Legacy” name, or it may just be a fancy name for the sword.
