Description
In lieu of the upcoming film adaptation of "Ready Player One", I decided to draw characters from the book of the same name. This is my rendition of Aech. I went for what I call, a "basement rocker" look: very 80s, jean jacket, bandana, long hair, and air guitars for days. "Basement Rocker" is the term I used, because most characters I see in classic 80s movies that share this look are late 20s, self-proclaimed 'rock stars', who still live in their parents' basement. My choice in giving him a giant bionic arm is due to the fact that, in the book, he's a famous PvP competitor, and I figured it would be cool if he had an iconic giant arm when he steps into an arena--made it look as close to a Gundam arm to reference his giant mech at the end of the book, and I gave him Megatron's Fusion cannon, because why not?
