This was the only image I could find. I wanted to upload it because it's a rewrite of an old illustration. If anyone participated in the campaign and got the wallpaper, please upload it.
I think that's all the characters now. I don't recognize the cat-like thing on Gehrman's lap, and there's a figure with grey skin and hair behind it that seems to be holding the MLGS. Possibly a human Ludwig, but I'd be hesitant to tag him.
Just glanced at this again and noticed that the Bloody Crow is fighting an animalized Eileen.

The thing on Gehrman's lap seems to be a horned beast breathing fire — likely Laurence, which leads me to believe the one behind him to indeed be Ludwig by association, not so unlike the animalized Eileen. Still, I'm not sure they should be tagged either.
Leaving aside the fact that the artwork isn't even up to his usual standards, the art style quite simply just does not fit with the rest of the game. Kind of like how putting a white sci-fi laser gun in WWII shooter just isn't kosher but Valkyria Chronicles can get away with all the shit it pulls.
Well, Valkyria Chronicles isn't World War 2, since it's not on earth, or at least not this earth.

People really have trouble grasping that Valkyria Chronicles isn't trying to be a historical fiction. It's like if people thought Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance was about the Crimean War because the starting country is called Crimea.

No, it's a World War 2-style setting with the addition of magic. Honestly, I probably would have used Dino D-Day instead but I was concerned that no one would recognize or even agree with the reference.
Oy, just because its in a style you don't like you don't have to call the legend they got to do it incompetent.
The art looks incomplete and bad. It looks like examples of peoples early artwork when they are still developing their skills or when people take shortcuts. The people at the company shoupd not have accepted it as a final piece.

According to the commentary, the artist drew this after seeing something similar done with the female characters of Dungeon Meshi, with all of the girls here (all of the commanders + Übermensch) having their hairstyle the same as Miho.
The one who looks the most off to me, surprisingly, is Maho. The other's hairstyles are so different from their norm (minus Katyusha, but she pretty much looks the same), that it just falls under the mental category of alternate hairstyle, but Maho's hairstyle was already pretty similar to Miho's, that the tiny change (the inward curled sidelocks in front of the mid-length sidelocks) completely throws me off.
personally Marie looks the most off to me here. I almost didn't recognize her without her curls. You could tell me that that's a completely different character from the manga about Count High and I'd believe you, since I'm so unfamiliar with that series

It's probably the lack of drill hair and the fact that she's one of the few characters who doesn't normally have bangs. Kay retained her hair intakes and messy-ish hair, so Marie could have had longer parted bangs (exposing her forehead) with sidelocks that had slight drills to them.
