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.

Better body sketch, the original sketch was a mess

And with one last cover, we close the beach season with Dir. Lague and Geoffrey! It's been a joy to do all of these silly covers, and this is not the end of this series. Like all great magazines I will return for next summer. Hopefully everyone's enjoyed my growth as an artist throughout these covers, and remember! The only way left to go, IS UP!

Onto the art itself. This cover is brought to you by a style study of the 1950's fashion Illustrator; René Gruau. I really hated my last magazine cover, I felt like I could've done a lot better with the aesthetics of it, so this is my attempt to do better. Unfortunately, the style of the magazine I referenced is not as decorated with words so I couldn't fit many references. I've always been a big fan of this type of art, 1940's-2000's art holds a special place in my heart. I hope people enjoy it too.

Geoffrey in a bikini is the best thing to come out of this series. He's sort of the only recognizable thing in this, I realize while doing these covers that my designs for some characters are pretty out there. Lague is kinda unrecognizable without his usual doctor outfit, so Geoffrey is carrying this. I don't have any elaborate explanation on the outfit for Lague, I tried to keep the color palette I gave him in my design but I'm limited to a towel and swim trunks.

If I could redo this I would've added 8K, but you live and you learn.

Anyways, SCP Swimsuit specials will return in the summer of 2027! Hope to see you there!
