All of these banners were made for the Art Exchange 2025 Hub, go check it out!
The following tabs will tell you who is in each specified banner, who made/inspired said character, and why I included them.
One thing is certain: all of the people shown earned their spot for being absolutely amazing friends.
Researcher Guaire
Guaire
I don't remember how we became friends, just that we did. And it's been downhill ever since, but that must mean the next hill will be exhilarating, so we both keep holding on! They volunteer so much time to this community that it puts the rest of us to shame.
Gee-air? Guh-wire? Gooey-ar? No!!! It's Guh-why-ray!
Dr. Arthur Balthazaar
Dr Balthazaar
Sometimes it's late on my side of the Atlantic Ocean, and most of my friends are asleep. Never Balth, though! He's from down under, so I can always expect a late-night conversation about his local wildlife or his next article in the works!
When he needed art he trusted me to clutch up, and when he needed crit, he was willing to let me give his works a read!
O5-09: Azalea Moncier
Liryn
Better known as the ratzamo to my aikolotl, I have made it my personal mission to embarrass Lucy at every possible turn. She always finds a way to get me smiling, and is someone I always feel close to, no matter how long we're apart.
Oh yeah, and she's wildly talented :P
Dr. Alice Pandora
Luxaiko
Of course I included myself.
The character is the partner of Azalea, though! Looks like they're having a fun time.
O5-03: Dr. Everett Mann
DrEverettMann
For someone I met only recently, and by complete force, Mann has already solidified himself as another old guy for me to torture. Though he refuses to let me get away with it without traumatizing me back a little, too.
As much as I want to say only mean things, he's uplifted both my writing and drawing spirits infinitely.
Dr. Judith Low
Metaphysician
Meta left me in a basket at a Montreal monastery during the cold winter nights of '05 and only recently admitted to it. He's stepped up to mentor me this time, though, mostly because I begged for thirty days and thirty nights.
Taught me everything there is to know about sarkicism, philosophy, goth music, and how NOT to engage in online discourse.
Rich House
LORDXVNV &
Rounderhouse
Two rascals that I can't seem to forget. Sometimes it's a good idea to tell those people you don't talk with much that you miss them and think about their silly characters.
Or not, because that sure was sappy.
Victoria Marshall
Luxaiko
Okay, yeah, I selfishly included myself twice :]
Sole daughter of Skitter Marshall, and she doesn't seem to realize her best friend has some deeper feelings for her…
Mari Macphearson
Grigori Karpin
The OG old guy to bully, Grigori keeps my ego in check by regularly publicly shaming me. But he's also sure to comment on all of my art, to discuss my projects with me, and to encourage me to keep trying at writing even if I'm being a coward about it.
If only he wasn't so Daevite obsessed. Sigh…
Dr. William Wettle
HarryBlank
Originally I had Blank AND Wettle in here, but I didn't want Harry to know how much I adore his characters, so one of them couldn't make the cut. One day I might draw any of the other three hundred lovable fools you've made.
And thank you for explaining jokes everyone else gets to me.
Crom
smlt
Crom isn't exactly SMLT, nor belong to him, but I like to think it lives with him in some kind of co-parenting situation. SMLT is always flooding my DMs with pictures of beautiful scenery and treats before saying something haughty and degrading to put me back in my place.
Don't worry, it's all worth it for the blatant favouritism.
Researcher Sam Mudd
PSI Landy
What do you mean you've never heard of THE researcher Sam Mudd? Trust me, you want to know about them, you NEED to write about them! Landy supports everything I do, no matter how morally unacceptable, and I am 99.99% certain we work on the same wavelength.
Not sure how you'd lose to a bird, though.
Dr. Jay Everwood
Uncle Nicolini
Approached me at my absolute lowest (after slaving away at SCP Anthology art for upwards of half a year) and asked me to make one single banner, so instead I made three and all the assets in the Art Exchange Hub while bawling my eyes out.
Its all for the love of the game babey.
Radian
radian628
Someone I only heard whispered tales of until we first crossed paths to make the Anthology 2025 Hub. Fate has decided we make one great art/code duo, because we immediately collaborated for the Art Exchange 2025 Hub, too. He's dedicated, and he certainly makes me feel good about what I do.
Please please please tell me we'll work together again soon!
Dr. Yossarian Leiner
Yossipossi
Being able to talk to somebody knowledgeable in psychology, writing, and being a total clown is a genuine blessing. Yossi popped into my life at the perfect time, and it'd be an insult to myself if I didn't honour them in this piece, too.
More than just a writer! A best friend!!!
Dr. Diana Ribero
Aethris
Convinced I was just born with Aethris in my contacts because we've always spoken and she's always been chill about it. To bag an artist so talented, albeit a person so esoteric, is probably an achievement in several regards.
I know you're not actually tall, but I like to think you are.
Headless Hermit
Heck_Tech
My newest friend, an extremely talented artist and writer who's breaking into the SCP space one post at a time!! Beyond that, Heck is genuinely a sweet person who seems to want nothing more than to make people's day and show their creative fire!
Keep creating; it's totally worth the effort!
