The SCP Wiki's default theme failed to load. If you see this error and are experiencing graphical issues, you may be able to resolve it by refreshing the page.

Seeing this error by mistake?

– hide block

If the page you are on "looks fine," it is most likely (but not certainly) because its theme is overriding the SCP Wiki's default Sigma-10 theme. If you were to then navigate to a Sigma-10 page, such as the Front Page, it would likely appear broken.

Alternatively, if you know for sure that Sigma-10 is loading, the error is most likely mistakenly appearing because you switched the Sigma-10 theme to a different theme using the ThemePreviewer module or another similar feature. If this is the case, and you are the author of the page, add the following code to it to remove the warning:

[[module css]]
#top-bar .ios-cache-issue-notification {
display: none !important;
}
[[/module]]

If you are not the author of this page, please contact the author or a member of the SCP Wiki Technical Team so that they may fix it. If possible, in your report, please include the browser and operating system of your device, along with the full URL to the offending page.

It's been over a month since I put up my first swimsuit special, so it’s about time I got another one out! God the difference in style is already making me a little embarrassed, haha!

I had a lot of fun with this one–Bold is always fun to draw–but there’s a reason why it took over a month to get it out. I had drawn the initial idea for this soon after I got Cimmerian up, but I hated it and didn't touch it for weeks. Eventually I got the motivation to sit up and redo the idea so here I am! I did the black and white rendering style a lot better this time around. He looks a lot less sun burnt compared to Cimmerian. I messed with some new rendering brushes too so I hope this one is a little more pleasing to the eye. I also got a semi full blown background done for this one. It’s not the best, but most of it is covered by text so I don't care too much.

There's a lot more deliberate references in this one. I was unhappy with how the cimmerian one had zero actual cheeky references to things the author has written or said. This time around everything here (except for Fish's blurb) is a reference to something Calibold has written. which I will list below.

I was originally planning on putting Bold in a speedo but I'll have to save that idea for when I get to House. If I get to House.
