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.

- Process & Explanation -

The first installment of what will hopefully be an ongoing series of lighthearted, fake magazine covers of "swimsuit specials,” featuring various personnel and other SCP-related characters. I find a lot of humor in the swimsuit special covers that Marvel Comics makes, and I had time on my hands to do something silly.

As for the drawing itself, I actually loathed working on this. I'm really bad with rendering water, so I don't even know why I decided to do a series of covers like this instead of something else. Cimmerian’s scar gave me a headache and the lighting took so much trial and error. I tried a new shading style and I don't think it stuck that well. I'm happy with the end result but I'll be testing different methods for the next one. Drawing Cimmerian himself was fun! I'm never going to turn down the chance to design some fun swimwear. If you look at the first sketch you might notice Dr. Clef on the left; I hated how he looked, so he's getting moved to his own cover.

I made the logo you see on the left! I based it on a swimteam I used to compete for as a kid. The acronym is thanks to my Bestie zippifie because I'm awful at thinking up names, and also for proofreading this.
