Since MB doesn't seem active on here and it's worth seeing a crosspost

Screenshot reading: "They come for porn first because it's one of the easiest things to vilify and the most embarrassing to defend. Because so many of us will automatically laugh at anyone saying 'my inability to purchase/access tentacle hentai is a serious threat to free speech' even when it 100% is"

Screenshot reading: "Have concerns about the Orwellian digital ID pilot program? Good to know you support child predators. Don't think two private companies should have unilateral say over what kind of art can or can't be sold? Touch grass, gooner. A few thought-terminating cliches end all arguments. You have to fight back now, you have to fight back hard, and you have to fight for the stuff you think is gross and creepy and stupid, because the taboo topics you care about are next"

Dr. Hikes!! Aka The Science Gun!

New Hero Suit reveal + ref sheet!

Super excited to finally show you guys this and share a bit of lore about her too. Probably also the nicest ref sheet I ever made.

If you have any questions about her feel free to ask!

[ #DrHikes #ocart #ocsky #art ]

Reference sheet for Dr. Hikes.

Shows a full body of Dr. Hikes in her hero suit with her equipment next to her for size comparison. Two headshots of both in and out of costume at the top. Bottom right a silhouette of Dr. Hikes and the science gun on her back for size comparison.

Title card text -

"Dr. Hikes. Charlotte B. Hikes. Aka 'The Science Gun'"

Body of text to the left of the sheet -

"Dr. Hikes was an esteemed Scientist, Chemist and Medic. After her research assistant was kidnapped by the mysterious Justice Authority, Hikes drove herself to the brink of madness to find him."

"Two years into her search with no sign of her assistant, she encountered other heroes and with their help, began to rebuild her life, using her talents to help people as the eccentric Science Gun"

"While she struggles with feeling like she belongs amongst the company of superpowered beings, she has finally doned a proper mask and costume to fight injustice in style. (With some help of course.)"

Text in the middle of the sheet -

"Her alias comes from her weapon, The Science Gun, which she was dubbed after failing to come up with her own codename on the spot."

"Her new costume can change camouflage itself in response to certain chemical reactions."

Artist signature at bottom "RoseyGeeArts"

Title card - "Equipment"

6 headshots of Dr. Hikes' mask with different digital expressions.

"Hikes' mask has a digital interface that allows her to communicate, interface with software, and express herself with a variety of programmed emotes"

An orange and gray flamethrower hand gun

"The Bunsen Burner is a flamethrower side arm Hikes keeps on hand for close encounters."

Chemical vials in a belt pouch

"Hikes carries some handy chemical compounds ready made in her utility belt."

Colorful chemical cylinders

"The Science Gun's ammo can be thrown as handheld explosives in a pinch."

A graphic of the word "Science Gun" that is shown on the Science Gun diagram below it.

"Her signature weapon, The Science Gun is a chemical cannon she invented to fire customized payloads of her own design such as gas, acid, and explosive rounds."

A front and back diagram of the science gun with its parts labeled.

Artist signature at bottom "RoseyGeeArts"

Title card - "Additional References"

"Normal civilian wear"

Dr. Hikes wearing goggles, a labcoat, gray pants, a light blue dress shirt, a striped purple tie, and purple crocs.

"Original hero suit - The ramshackle outfit Hikes wore during her pursuit of the Justice Authority. Less 'Superhero' more 'Mad Scientist'"

Hikes wearing a lab coat, goggles over her eyes, a black beanie hat, a blue bandana over her mouth and nose, dark shirt, pants, and boots, a belt with chem grenades hanging off, a couple brown bands across her chest with chemical vials attached, and a silhouette of the science gun being held.

"Body Ref"

Dr. Hikes in a form fitting top and bottom to show off her build that has some muscle.

"Day off / Laundry Day casual wear"

Hikes in a red plaid button up with a grey hood, black shirt, blue gray pants, red and white shoes, and headphones attatched to a Walkman in her breast pocket.

Panel 1: Shen is leaning into the panel, angry, his pupils tiny, and a dark shadow around his eyes, yelling "STOP SAYING 'THIS IS YURI' ABOUT EVERYTHING."

Panel 2: Shen clenches his fists, now facing directly towards the viewer, and continues to yell "NOT >>EVERYTHING<< IS YURI!!!!"

Panel 3: A textbox stating "We now go live to a groundbreaking scientific discovery"

Panel 4: A scientist in a lab, a light brown haired woman with a ponytail, glasses, and a labcoat, is standing in front of some microphones and cameras. She says "Yeah, so like ... atoms are girls, it turns out."

Games Workshop sent me the new Chaos Dwarf box, but unfortunately the construction on my house is still having a massive impact on my ability to get things painted, so I've only managed this guy's groin 😅

An etymological analysis of the term "Metroidvania"

Graph outlining the origin of "Metroidvania".
"Metroid" is a blend of "metro" and "android". "Android" comes from "andros" (man) and "-oid" (likeness), while "metro" comes from "metropolis", which comes from "meter" (mother) and "polis" (city).
"Castlevania" is a blend of "castle" with "Transylvania", which comes from "trans" (across) and "silva" (forest).
