I've had this idea for months and I finally wanted to pursue it !! This fandom is one of my favorites in terms of the creative space; I am in love with how you can tell what particular aspects of the game each artist picked up on most from their artwork and character designs; as well as their own personal tastes and takes of the game!

So, here are all the Drivers I could pull up from tag searching!

I had almost no information about heights besides me and my buddy's Drivers, so I went off vibes - sorry if it's wildly inaccurate </3

From left to right we have - @transfire / @creature-in-the-attic / mine / @olympic-exclusion-zone / @lithium-beam / @glitch-in-the-code / @astrumartz / @gruvu

Greyscale version

I have a lot to say about the individual Drivers that I'm putting below the cut :]

Lithium - HOLY SHIT I THINK YOUR DESIGN IS MY FAVORITE I'VE EVER SEEN. THIS INCLUDES MINE. I love your Driver's little flower crown, and their hood, and omg the strands from their gloves to their jacket AUG. they are SUCH a critter i am in loveee with what you put into this

Glitch - I said this in my reblog of your art but O M G i looove your pixel artstyle. It reminds me of this very particular emotion I sometimes get from this game of my childhood. It was so fun translating your style to mine to draw Vix <3. I love how their hair matches with their Remnant, you said - that's so rad.

Astru - Your Driver very specifically brings back memories of playing post-apocalyptic games with my friends when wildfires out here got close - smoke so thick for days on end you could barely see 20 feet ahead of you and your eyes stung after a while. Their padding made them very angular to draw and their HAIR THEIR HAIR was sooo fun to mess with. Since the reference image didn't have anything below the middle, I made pants based off their shirt and vest.

Gruvu - I fuckin love your Driver and seeing more of this guy whenever I go into the tags, he seems like such a bundle of good vibes. He reminds me of the people I'd talk to at truck stops doing yearly cross-country roadtrips from 4-11 while my mom was in the restroom. I actually had a different idea for this project I ended up scrapping [maybe ill pick it up again because GOD this was fun], BUT !! i made it far enough to draw a singular Driver - yours !! Maybe I'll finish just this frame someday >:] Wasn't sure what color some of his later clothes were either - hope it's okay I took some creative liberties !

Olympic - I really hope I did Mars justice, I had more trouble translating design points than I usually do. I LOVED drawing them though, and I wouldn't be surprised if I draw them again in the future! I love their entire outfit and hair and VIBE. IT IS IMMACULATE. if i saw them on the street my jaw would drop, gosh. I got about halfway through your section before I realized you made Mars a Driver ! [At least from what I read. If I interpreted wrong they're the honorary mostly-regular guy] Here's the scrapped wip of the Driver present in your tardigrade artwork. I may finish it by itself sometime. Was going to do a whole new sketch, but I thought using the old one and having Mars hold a Bubblegum would be cute.

Creature - man what haven't I said about Tex? LMAOO sorry friend I think you're gonna end up with the shortest message </3. One thing I know for sure is I have been MISSING OUT on drawing them, their design is so fun. and another thing ill say is THEIR FEET ARE SO HARD TO DRAW IM SORRY IF I FUCKED IT UP </////333

Fire - I was really struggling with your Driver's face and hair, I hope it looks good !! I looovee their whole cloak-hood thing, its so nice! They look so cool in your artstyle. I can see them running through the OEZ forests at break-neck speeds

I would also like to include this concept me and @euclid-dragon played around with
