[ #OC #OCxOC #OCsky #OCart #Shipart #DrHikes ]

Art piece of a grizzled space mercenary and a costumed scientist back to back. The mercenary holds his gun and glances back with only his eyes but the scientist holds her mask and turns back with her whole head. Behind them, a window into space that back-lights them in purple hues.

Show me how you draw armour!✨🛡

I started this QRT so confident I had lots of armour to show since my main OC, Wilder, wears a full body metal suit but *apparently not*

Anyway here we go, my goal is always 'get the sense without losing my mind' so things like Wilder's underarmour happen a lot.

GRAVITRON!

Decided to make a more cohesive 'ref sheet' for Tommy, both in and out of costume, with a bit of his backstory to boot.

Hopefully will do these for the rest of the Vanguards soon!

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.

Artist signature at bottom "RoseyGeeArts"
