[;-; Think I might quit. I didn't even really try with this one..] About: Dr. Benjamin West is the great great grandson of the infamous Dr. Herbert West, and specializes in modern chemistry and biochemistry. He is rarely excited about anything and though he is incredibly smart, most of his experimental projects end in failure. He hardly turns to emote anything other than sheer frustration and anger, but when he gets an idea, it's as if the world were suddenly made of shining gold. Benjamin is a bit of a grump, and not at all the sort of person you would find taking a break from his research and his work. He works with a team of other doctors as they have a common goal; to find a means to cure death permanently for the sake of the distant future of humankind, and also to prove themselves to their superior. Maybe earn a big award for essentially making man immortal, who knows? Though Benjamin goes through trial and error, and mostly error, raising the dead is in his blood. Also cooking is in his blood. Or perhaps, he is better at chemistry than he knows. |
I don't know - as cool as immortality sounds, the earth would get pretty crowded. Unless you either colonize other planets or force sterilization on everyone to avoid further production of humans.
|
well, and decriminalize suicide
|
/x} Yeahh, the future gets pretty complicated, since there are multiverse alternate realities. Bat would explain that, but Bat gets tired of taking his pacifier out all the time. <u< (Bat is the main time traveler.) In some futures there is required sterilization, and in others terminating population control, but in the future Bat is from, most humans can only survive below the equator, and overpopulation is no longer an issue due to a very strict government regulation. But a disease affecting all humankind and has no cure, driving humanity slowly to extinction. Some humans to escape the terrible plague are offing themselves accelerating the erasure of humankind. So, there's kind of a crisis, and Bat's gotta like travel to the past to find and bring back a cure somehow. Dr. West is like a cog in the wheel of that progress, albeit a kind of crooked cog, but a cog nonetheless. x}

Love your current avatar by the way. Psycho goblin school girl on a killing spree.
Oh and recently I've been reading a novel where death by old age is essentially no longer a thing, so there's a reaper profession (more or less, although you can't really apply for it but are chosen as an apprentice by one of the existing folks) that kills people for population control. Everyone else who dies gets revived again, but once you're killed by one of these scythes, you're gone for good. Interesting story. |
Sounds interesting. o.o I've got a similar idea of a religious totalitarian society, where if a woman has a child before marrying, she is executed, and the child is sent to become a mineworker. <.<; Actually that isn't really that similar now that I think about it..
Thank you! <x} I kind of got sort of a yandere sort of thing going on with my avi. xD |
why the brutlity? are men held to the same standard? what is the significance of marrying that it's disregard is met with the harshest punishment?
|
:] Well, I haven't totally finished the story. I just jot down ideas, but I suspect the reasoning would be, since it's a religious based governing system, the disobedience of the religious law would be seen as justifying the ending of the life of the sinner. 8/ Big yikes, as men are not held to the same standard because in the religion, men are viewed as those with the strongest of wills, and women the weakest.
I got a lot of different ideas n' shit for writing. o-0; November's gonna be tough to try and write for..I'm already struggling with doodling! ;-; I'm so behind, I might just group all the scientists together into one doodle..would that be okay? |
oh. i see.
|
8. Also got a dramatic fantasy-ish story I'm workin' on about one of my latest OCs. 8{ Things are gettin' pretty suspenseful and maybe tragic thooo...oof. <x{ I don't know how to end it yeeeet!
|
I don't know how one big group doodle would be faster/easier than several small individual pictures, but if that's what brings you back on track - go for it! ^^
|
>>>Quitter<<<
It's not easier. ;_; I only managed to get Bat done today...and my hand might be clinically broken..
<x] But the group pic looks nice so far. I'll post them as I finish each one, so progress is shown. :] Bat's done, so I guess I'm gonna break my rules and do my OCs somewhat out of order. :/ Also officially given up on Inktober.. ;~; I only lasted 8 days this time everyone! My right hand can't make it much further it seems... It's okay to take a break, so I'm going to take a break. Man, typing with my left hand feels weird. e_e; I'm sorry I couldn't stick to the days. <:/ I at least will post my OCs as I doodle them, so I'll finish my prompt, but as of this moment, /x~x\; I'm dead tired. (no pun intended...or all of the pun intended!) |
[Yes he's the one on the left, colored in and stuff...yes, that's his name. xD] A bit of a background: Bat is a citizen of the future Central Americas, in the year 3088 on planet earth. Most of civilization now lives in the Central Americas and Australia, or any land below the equator, due to the earth's changed tilt, it's too cold for life to live in comfortably or prosperously in most countries above the equator now. In Bat's future, a mysterious plague has threatened the remaining populous of humanity. The disease starves human beings of any means of nutrition, slowly constricts all organ function and ultimately kills who it infects within a span of hours. Though the earth is less cramped and has returned to it's wild and primitive natures, humanity is nearing extinction, as the disease is spreading, doesn't seem to have a weakness, and only being carried and spread by animals and humans, but affects humans. A brilliant doctor by the name of Juarez was close to discovering a cure, but all his material was seized by an unknown government organization and he was threatened with prison should he speak of them. He knew he had to do something, so he called in his lab's former programmer and medical assistant, Bat. He gave him a special pocket watch, that would transport him into the past and back to the future, and tasked him with finding a means to cure humanity so that it might not go extinct. Bat is usually "whatever" about anything, but time travel, in the year 3088, is a big no-no, and if caught with time-travelling tech, the consequence is execution, and erasure of your existence and the existence of your ancestors from the record of history. When Bat finds Doctor Juarez desperate and mortally wounded, he agrees to help, and takes the watch, even though he might never return to the future he knows and calls home ever again. So what's his deal?: Bat is male, but he likes to remain ambiguous in xis gender identity, sometimes preferring "xim" "he" and "xis" as pronouns. He hides most of xis face, to keep from being recognized, although, without the shades, hat and pacifier, he's actually rather angelic looking. Occasionally, he'll show his eyes, which are red, which of course isn't natural, but in the future, you can get all sorts of cosmetic surgeries. Bat's signature identifiers are his pacifier and his headphones and hat, with tall pointed speakers atop his head, which double as a sound enhancer, like a hearing aid, but it distinguishes a collective noise and can focus on one audio source. Bat tries to blend in with the people of the past that he visits, but if he doesn't need to, he just shrugs off the effort, chalking his appearance up to, "I'm a model." or "Haven't you seen freaks like me before?" As for xis pacifier, he's just comfortable having it, and is never without it. Partly to stop him from saying anything that might jeopardize the future, and partly because he doesn't like to talk all the time. As a result, nobody knows much about xim at all, except for ximself. He is good at sneaking about, mostly due to the fact that he's lightweight and has had a rough past where he needed to learn to sneak around. He is excellent at memory recall, as he had to memorize a lot most of his life. And sleeping often is now a luxury he can afford, because he time travels a lot. He was an ex-programmer as well as an assistant to Dr. Juarez, but was kicked out because he is a bit nosy and hardly did as he was told, preferring to do things xis own way. He has a tendency to overthink things, and suffers from minor acute anxiety. He absolutely loves electronic music, enjoys video games and music mixing, and likes the company of one person at a time. Bat, being from the future and a time traveler and all, is aware he can pass through several universe timelines, and as a result, has many versions of himself, most of them with a similar mission. Some Bats are older, or younger, or female and come from many sorts of futures that turned out very different from one another. He has met a few versions of himself, which would normally be mind-blowing, but at this point, nothing surprises xim much anymore. He nicknames the selves he meets, like, "Cool Bat” - A version of ximself that is older and more skilled. “Vampire Bat” - A version of ximself where he is a vampire and humanity has changed into a vampiric society. “Little Sister” - A version of ximself where he is a cute girl, with a candy addiction. “Edgy Bat” - A version of ximself that is dark, hopeless and light-deprived. “Robo-Bat” - A version of ximself from a future of cyborg humanity, with many robotic parts and synthetic organs. “Blind Bat” - The only version of ximself that is working against his goal, and killing other versions of ximself to stop xim from saving the future...also he's blind. Bat’s interests and personality remains relatively the same throughout the many variations of ximself, but can have some notable alterations...one being that he likes to chew bubblegum rather than suck on a pacifier. Another change might be that he is homosexual rather than bisexual. Yet another change can be to his ears on his hat, for in other times and universes, they are as a part of his headphones, or xis actual ears! This is one way to tell the real Bat however from the many different Bats working in tandem with one another across the timelines. The “Real” Bat has his ears on his headphones. |
Rest well, Merskelly. I hope your hand already feels better when you return. (What happened to it, by the way? You should probably go see a doctor...)
|
It's just bad soreness from drawing for 6+ hours. ;u; It'll go away on it's own. It's feeling better today, but I don't want to make it any sore-er.
|
Yeah, better rest your hand before it gets any worse. Glad to hear it's not actually broken though. While I never had a cast on my arm before, I imagine it might really suck when you only got your weaker hand to use for months.
|
:] It's not actually broken no. <x} If it were, I likely wouldn't be online...likely. >->; B'cause ma brain say avi site > hand pain. x}
<.<; This is probably the busiest October I've ever been a part of, holy hell. I haven't even had the chance to get back to doodling and writing due to all the life stuff goin' on. ;_; Won't really doodle again until my right hand and arm are not sore anymore. :/ But I'm kinda curious, :] which one in the group above anyone wants to see colored in and finished up when I do get back to the art-ing? ~From left to right it's Bat, Sophia, Dr. Victor, Squat and Elizabeth, Dr. West, and Dr. Locke. :) |
Who knows? I have been online myself at the one time I had wrist pain. Just typing slowly and with the left hand instead. Annoying, but possible. In fact the mouse was much harder to operate than the keyboard.
Me! Me! I wanna see them colored! XD (but rest your hand first; I don't want to cause you pain) |
<x} Haha, ok. Will do. It should be fine and back to normal either tomorrow or the next day. <x/ Though I wish homework wasn't such a bummer to get through! >x{ RRmmph!
:] Oh! hehe, I meant which one of them? <x} Like, which one should I color in next? :D Might only be able to do one at a time. x} |
Ah, okay. I'm gonna say Dr. Locke then, I like her style. Serious clothes yet playful hair. Reminds me a bit of Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds.
|
:] Okay. It shall be done. -u-
As soon as I can use my hand. <x{ it still sore bc of all the homework bs I had to get done all weekend long. ;-; |
Who the hell is this creepy lady?: This is Dr. Grenda Locke (on the far right side), one of the rising stars of cryogenic medical research and a passionate scientist. She works and studies at the Medical Science Institute of Richwood, in San Francisco, in the year 2025. She is a French Canadian with all the bravery and cunning of a French Canadian, and an additional love for food. She may be a bit messy, and doesn't always mix well with other people, but as odd and unapproachable as she is, she has found a place with the other doctors in Lab 7 of the Institute, where she can be herself. And what's her deal?: Dr. Locke works hard, often to an extreme extent causing her to loose sleep, hallucinate and needs someone there to regulate her work, so she doesn't go overboard. She is prone to scratching her head and pulling out her hair when she is frustrated, and so, as a result, her hairstyle is rather disheveled. She is close with Dr. West, in a way that may or may not be one-sided, as he typically can only tolerate her company to a certain degree. She is however fascinated by him, and admires his work. Her work however, she believes, is more important. Dr. Locke is always looking for a means to cryogenically engineer a means to extend the lifespan of humankind, and has a weird fascination with refrigerators and coolers. She struggles to do almost anything unfamiliar to her without some extensive research on the subject first, and then conducting the task from beginning to end. This is how she learned to make chicken stew, by actually catching and killing a chicken before preparing it and then cooking it. Dr. Locke can be a little uncomfortable and disturbing, as she has taken risks before, has gotten away with several serious crimes, has a twisted sense of morality, collects insects and makes art out of bones and bugs, is kind of a necrophiliac, has issues with alcohol, and is highly judgmental of others. Despite this, she has several less dangerous and disturbing habits, such as hiding food to snack on for later, watching horror movies when she can't sleep, going to gothic/death/black/power metal concerts, decorating for holidays she chooses to celebrate, researching burning questions she sometimes has, and going skating. Fun Facts: Dr. Locke has a twin sister who is a photographer and looks nothing like her, being they're fraternal twins. Dr. Locke is a bit of a kiss-up to other older medical doctors, and stalks them from time to time, to learn their hobbies and interests. Her favorite animal is the jellyfish. She hates rats and other pests with a passion and often takes a little too much joy in hunting them down and killing them, wanting their bones for her projects. She has a fear of losing her work and all her research, as well as a fear of being unable to use her brain consciously. Dr. Locke doesn't often drink, because she is a major lightweight and who knows what she'll get up to while intoxicated. Lastly, she loves Halloween-time because it's a time of harvest, food, treats, and can be her creepy, sanity-absent self without restraint. Her hair is dyed purple, and her eyes, well, they're contacts she insists on wearing. Her real eye color is black, while her hair was a light blonde. |
Since when is bug art creepy? Dare I say it can be pretty hilarious!
https://funnyviralmemes.com/wp-conte...8/07/34296.jpg |
xD hehe, I like the hospital one. Well I think it's interesting! However not many people like bugs as much as Locke, <w< and get a little grossed out when she sometimes puts dead bugs in her pockets. Not something typical of lady doctors to do! <xD But she likely would work with a lot of flies and moths to make her art. :]
Ahh, which one to color in next? :/ hmmm..maybe Squat and Elizabeth the Rat. :D |
Regret not being able to finish up Inktober. <x/ AGAIN.
But! I did a recent doodle. :] *presents* https://i.imgur.com/vCVrkhu.png Merskelly is a huge Eddie fan. x'D |
A doodle 4 days in the making. <x}
I call it... Handshake gone wrong. Featuring CRT. >u< (Yes, this is now my desktop wallpaper. x'D) |
<...Whoops. Sorry. My servos need some calibrating.>
|
This is hilarious. Love it!

So, I have a question... How tall is Mer?
|
o_o Smol...like, uh...5ft smol. <x} Have yet to invest in a shrink ray.
|
Ahh, okay. CRT’s 5’3”. He’d be around 5’ if he had a humanoid head, though.
|
(Raster and Vellum are the tall ones, though.)
|
Oh! Shortie too! o.o
>n< Shorties unite! Well, Merskelly seems super smol since she like to float around like a wannabe genie, and tucks her legs in a lot. <x} Doodle Height Accuracy: 9/10. :} |
Fair enough!
|
e_e; How tall Raster?? I feel like he'd be kinda intimidating even without wings or sharp spikes.
|
Raster’s probably around 6’, TV head included. Human!Raster would be 5’10?
Vellum is somewhere between 5’11” and 6’2”, I think; he’s really lanky under his coat. (I do have a human character who’s 6’5”.) |
o_o *nods* I think it fits well!
Typically I can be intimidated by anything, taller than me or not, makes little difference, depending on what it is. <x} Like a wolverine. o_o; Or a bee. Or my 8th grade history teacher. |
*gigglesnort*
Teehee...that art will never fail to make me smile... |
BTW Mer, I updated CRT's playlist a bit, if you like that sort of music.
