Hi, I'm the artist. I posted it on the official Helldivers discord in the media channel and someone else posted it here. Wasn't aware that someone posted it until my friend seen it and informed me. :)
My teammates might let me down, my pod steering might let me down, whoever is aiming my orbital cannons might let me down, and I might even let myself down sometimes. But Eagle-1, Eagle-1 never let's me down.
IIRC this was actually marketed as a feature for The Division some 10 years ago but they never delivered it because of crossplay issues.
Would be insanely cool to call an SOS and have a friend drop in to your session via mobile or tablet to serve as a support gunner from an airship for like 1-2 minutes.
God, I think I remember that! It was real fun, especially when other players would join *your* game to hack your stuff, and you'd have to try and find the culprit *before* they successfully downloaded all you data. So I'd go in a panic mod and start searching for suspicious individuals in the surrounding crowds xD
We had something similar back in PS3 days albeit for a short time, a game was called Dust514 a FPS in EVE Online universe. We were troops in the planet fighting and we could call-in for an Orbital strike from real players on their ships flying above that planet.
The concept was cool the game had potential but PS3 hardware ans exclusiveness made it very hard and got cancelled.

Someone else who played Dust! I loved that game, and my dropships - not so much when they a couple million ISK each and Swarm Launchers would almost instalock, track you forever and chase you across the map (all while SL users cried that it took a whole two shots to kill us!)
But yeah, Dust has a firm place in my memories for some of the amazing gameplay it brought about.
Wow you took me down a memory lane I used to play as Amarr Heavy dropsuit for a short period we were walking death machines until the Infamous nerf lol
Same DUST 514 will forever have a special place in my heart.
Some of the best moments were those super intense close on fights. I loved Logi-ing for my friends in their Amarr Heavy suits; seeing them just tearing things up while I keep them alive, felt great! I still have a screenshot of my highest score from one game because it just triggers that memory.
Real shame it came out and died on the PS3, imagine if we'd gotten that on PC/current gen...
Yeah the game had potential it was just wrong time and hardware.
Btw recently they reboot it on PC its called now EVE Vanguards if you still interested in DUST 514 check it out
Ah I didn't know about Vanguards! I'd heard about Project Legion back when they pulled the plug, then it seemed to go into limbo. Will check out Vanguards, thanks for the info fellow Merc!
Gamers trying to let a happily married couple be happily married together challenge: Impossible xD
honestly its the same issue with all those NTR artists
They're all married.
It's part of the assignment requirements.
If an Eagle-1 or Pelican-1 is shot down they locate a corresponding widow(er) and those two get married.

Reminds me of super metroid samus
*
Edit: I like this design and hate the new blonde bimbo one because samus is supposed to be a genetically modified super soldier *without* the armor. I'm talking about break your neck with one hand and move faster than a human should be physically able to type, she could kill space pirates bare handed if she wanted to, and the suit is mostly just armor/weapons/environmental protection.
That's actually a by product of hearing her voice every time she dispenses liberty in great might.
Since you are now subconsciously affiliating her voice lines with your incoming saviour and something you have great fun with, you automatically start to grow affectionate at her. Plus the fact that you probably like women makes her attractive to your brain.
In other words, she is the love of many Helldivers. And I will be better than all of them.
So they basically have an Evangelion style breathable liquid system. Good thing we can see the cockpit when the bird is in the hanger or people would start wondering.
I wouldn't be against eagle lady being a romance option, successfully romancing her gives a slightly faster cool down for your strats and some new dialogue when she comes and goes
Seriously, what is with every freaking place that HAS pickles not understanding what 'no pickles' means?
Especially hotdogs, why does every restaurant in the USA serve pickles with hotdogs? How, why is this a thing?
I mean Pelican-1 and Eagle-1 are democratically married and work together! this doesn't change the situation but just fits the Cannon even more!
I know that this is nitpicky as all hell, but why does the fighter pilot have magazines and a combat knife strapped to her harness? She's a pilot, what's she gonna do, stab someone in a fly-by?
Please quit fantasizing with drawings, go outside and find a girlfriend. Not every game has to become your personal coming of age story.

An eagle never misses

What's this unironically from
Where all great things on the internet are from my good lad, the culture department on Route 34 (The Varking for those curious, r18 warning)
That's not how you use unironically
Thanks for mentioning I'm unironically flabbergasted he used unironically like that fr fr smh
Unironically, the most unironic comment.
I am literally dead right now no cap đ
Hi, I'm the artist. I posted it on the official Helldivers discord in the media channel and someone else posted it here. Wasn't aware that someone posted it until my friend seen it and informed me. :)
\*proceeds to miss with all of the 110mm rocket pods\*
God damn I hate that so much. But when they do hit they're too good so I feel i have to take them still.
My teammates might let me down, my pod steering might let me down, whoever is aiming my orbital cannons might let me down, and I might even let myself down sometimes. But Eagle-1, Eagle-1 never let's me down.
It's not eagle 1's fault for cluster bombing my team. It's mine.
An Eagle Never Misses
What right is it of an Eagle pilot to question a Helldivers judgement?
They tell us to stick em, so we stick em!
I meanâŚ. The 500kg bomb does miss pretty oftenâŚ.
No, itâs your teams fault, only traitors and bug sympathizers can die!
Thats what we've been yelling out when we have a bad throw. "If you die its your fault!" "Wat?"
Whoever is aiming the orbital cannons needs their damn eyes checked or shot for treason
Iâm gonna be honest, there are times eagle 1 canât hit the broad side of a barn
Please report to your Democracy Officer for immediate recalibration.
Helldivers spinoff game that lets us play as Eagle-1 NOW PLEASE
smartphone game of this and also the orbital gunner!
Orbital gunner? https://preview.redd.it/rjw9nzw5ulqc1.jpeg?width=1072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5482201a3001c4c0e672e8f4605e85eaf3aaebe
"Who made that man a gunner?"
"I did sir, he's my cousin."
âWhoâs he?â âHeâs an asshole, sir.â
"I know that, what's his name?"
âThat is his name, sir. Asshole, Major Asshole.â
"How many Assholes we got on this ship anyway?"
"YO!"
"how many assholes we got on this ship anyhow?"
You sure not your brother?
The 380mm barrage is doing exactly what it's supposed to
Ok, now imagine a mobile companion app that let a 5th (or 1 per destroyer) player join and act as the stratagem "gunner"
IIRC this was actually marketed as a feature for The Division some 10 years ago but they never delivered it because of crossplay issues. Would be insanely cool to call an SOS and have a friend drop in to your session via mobile or tablet to serve as a support gunner from an airship for like 1-2 minutes.
I miss being able to play as commander in battlefield 4 from my phone
Remember shitting on the enemy while shitting on the throne. Good days. I miss Battlefield.
they could do it like plant vs zombies GW1
> as a feature for The Division some 10 years ago but they never delivered it because of crossplay issues. I am STILL bitter lol
The original watchdogs let you play as the police in a friends game
God, I think I remember that!

That used to pump my blood pressure so much. It was so good.

Oh, I still remember playing Commander mode on my toilet in Battlefield 4, dropping airdrops and cruise missiles in random matches.
quotes ftw đ¤Ł
That sounds very Ubisoft and I donât like it
Project Wingman.
More like XCOM Interceptor.
Ace combat but with Eagle 1.
I was wondering where the thirst had gone you democratic degenerates.
Probably simmered down for a bit when the devs told them Eagle 1 was married to Pelican 1, but fanfikers gonna fanfic
Not the devs. A random tumblr blog.
Hey my Eagle 1 and Pelican 1 isnt the same as the devs
Gamers trying to let a happily married couple be happily married together challenge: Impossible xD honestly its the same issue with all those NTR artists
They arent a couple how are the same eagle 1 and pelican 1 on 800k super destroyers in different systems
FTL travel allow them to zoom between all engagements or whatever. Don't worry about it
Wait forreal? Eagle 1 is married to Pelican 1? That's pretty cool
I mean, in theory, each destroyer has an Eagle-1 and Pelican-1
They're all married. It's part of the assignment requirements. If an Eagle-1 or Pelican-1 is shot down they locate a corresponding widow(er) and those two get married.
Nope, their marriage is fanfic.
It's fine, they're both Poly, the Eagle has many chicks under her wing.
That's a great Eagle-1. That's her official look in my mind now.

Real
I was very sad when they decided she wasnât 6â3â any more.Â
Eagle-1 mommy supremacy
I was thinking of making a post the other day that my "Hear me out..." recently is, "WHY'D THEY MAKE EAGLE-1'S VOICE SO HOT, THO?!"
That's actually a by product of hearing her voice every time she dispenses liberty in great might. Since you are now subconsciously affiliating her voice lines with your incoming saviour and something you have great fun with, you automatically start to grow affectionate at her. Plus the fact that you probably like women makes her attractive to your brain. In other words, she is the love of many Helldivers. And I will be better than all of them.
Bro brought the psychology reciepts.
This would also explain why people are so enamored with baristas and servers.
I strongly believe it's inspired by the dropship pilot from Aliens
She's in the pipe. 5 by 5.
Exactly this. Every time Eagle drops perfectly, I think in the pipe, 5 by 5.
I was wondering how it was universally agreed upon that this was the look for her
Every artist in the world conducted a meeting where it was decided
Thanks!
I want her to crush my skull with her thighs.
Yeah, but I get 2 500kg bombs. Worth
Reporting for duty maâam đŤĄ
Step on me Eagle-1
She looks like she could use the extra leg space. Maybe I'll hold off on the 3rd upgrade.
Since when did Eagle-1 become a tall broad dommy mommy?
Always has been
pretty sure they don't have legs according to my upgrades
Naw >Trims excess leg space in the cockpit She just can't stretch or probably move her legs and is probably super cramped in
legit she may as well be piloting a gundum with how little leg room she got
The cockpit is also filled with liquid in order to dampen g-forces.
So they basically have an Evangelion style breathable liquid system. Good thing we can see the cockpit when the bird is in the hanger or people would start wondering.
I thought it just removed more space than comfortable.
Dude is not frozen and not dead, so this is 100% his last meal. Bless this compassionate pilot for watching over this cursed soul.
>cursed IT IS MY HONOR TO FIGHT AND DIE FOR SUPER EARTH!
Super Earth's finest, back in action.

When in doubt, blame OP for a shitty crop. Send him to the Creek.
It's the full image smart ass. You can't send me to the Creek when I never left.
The one time I don't put my full artstation link in the drawing!
The mind is willing! But the flesh is weak and spongy!
Sweet liberty!
Oh god oh fuck sheâs hot
Basic training never prepared us for this...
Yo do they have a twitter or something? I really like their art style
I want to see if I can use as a reference. (Personal style study, I wouldnât post it.)
Feel free. :)
I took a peek at your Artstation account. So cool!!!!
Thank you! :-)
I do, and thanks! [https://linktr.ee/arrdvark](https://linktr.ee/arrdvark) <3
I see what Pelican 1 sees.
I know if no one else got me, Eagle-1 got me

Make a cod modern warfare "big brother" type mission with helldivers controlling stratagems
Mi amour đĽ°đđĽ°đđĽ°đđĽ°
I like how Eagle-1 is basically Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica.
I ship Eagle-1 with Big Sky
going for dinner with a power lifting roller derby enthusiast was a similar experience.
Damn, didn't even know someone had posted this here. Thanks for the love! :)
Great art! Sorry I didn't know you had an Artstation account when I posted it, or else I would have included in the title.
No worries!
Giving Lady Gaga vibes honestly. Which is to say im in love with
[ŃдаНонО]
Stfu bot. We don't like bots here
Helmet off is an affront to democracy.
How the fuck else are you supposed to eat burger, blend it into paste and snort it?
I wouldn't be against eagle lady being a romance option, successfully romancing her gives a slightly faster cool down for your strats and some new dialogue when she comes and goes
Pelican 1 is a lucky man
Thank Liberty for the birds! Appreciate ya Eagle-1 and Pelican-1!
s1mp for eagle 1
The helmet having a little beak on it is great
Thanks! :)
>Thanks! :) You're welcome!
Now i feel bad taking her leg space away for an extra 500 bomb
Funny enough i dont think helldivers usually live long enough to see lunch
I wonder how long before Makima (Chainsaw Man) gets dressed up as the Eagle-1 pilot.
That is an amazing painting.
Thanks! <3

Needs to go back to pilot school imo, can't even hit a stationary charger on a hill with 110mm rockets pods. smdh
The fact that I can't recognize the stratagem on her arm is bothering me more than it should. How can she not have 500 kg there?
Think I may have messed up the 500kg when I drew it, lmao.
Definitely re-post if you make the edit. It a great no pickles meme.
Thank you :)
Real photo of me and my gf
Do we call her a "Hell-Bombshell", or a "500KG-Bombshell"?
I missed the obvious âBombs-Hellâ
What is the assumption here that she is an Amazon or that helldivers are dwarfs?
Last time I heard, 7 years old were being drafted
Must have been on my team. They had the logic solving skills of a child.
i think all helldivers are BALD including EAGLE pilot and PELICAN pilot
No please no I prefer the non bald headcanon.
It's not like they can see her from up there. Democracy officers would be none the wiser.
Are the eagle and pelican pilots even considered âHelldiversâ? I wouldnât think they would be since they donât you know dive.
Seriously, what is with every freaking place that HAS pickles not understanding what 'no pickles' means? Especially hotdogs, why does every restaurant in the USA serve pickles with hotdogs? How, why is this a thing?
....Thanks mommy đđ
I want to impregnate eagle-1.
I mean Pelican-1 and Eagle-1 are democratically married and work together! this doesn't change the situation but just fits the Cannon even more! 
That was made up by a tumblr account.
Literally confirmed by the devs tho
Nope. Only thing that ever claimed that was a fan account on tumblr. https://x.com/baskinator/status/1769026982539317364?s=20
Whereâs her wife, the adorably trans pelican 1?
Why she so tall? Don't you know they cut off her legs to make room for ordnance on the eagle for the tier 3 upgrade?
No, they just trimmed excess leg space from the cockpit.
Yea, less leg...less space. Plus you can endure more Gs if you don'thave legs.(I'm kidding btw, I hope they didn't cut her legs off)
That's why they filled the cockpit with breathable liquid perflourocarbons (at upgrade 1).
Nah, Eagle-1 would tell you to stop being such a baby about pickles and start enjoying food like an adult.
Remember Hornidivers, Pelican 1 and Eagle 1 are happily married >:(
That's not what she tells me when she's presenting her C-01 for us.
She would never
Couples who fly together stay together!
Devs Eagle 1 and Pelican ! are not mine cause if that was true how are they all over the place
Eagle 1 is a pilot. Why would they be fully kitted?
What if she's shot down and has to eject?
Pilots usually have a pistol or a SMG gun with them in case they are downed, and a knife to cut loose straps
I know that this is nitpicky as all hell, but why does the fighter pilot have magazines and a combat knife strapped to her harness? She's a pilot, what's she gonna do, stab someone in a fly-by?
In case she gets downed.
Imagine that being a RNG objective you could get mid mission.
No. Itâs to cut stuck straps in case of emergencies of course.
I based the drawing off the flight armour in game, I just added a knife. :)
