Inventor's Guild Theoreticians

Some people were asking for a more Victorian, mad-scientist type mechanist. Here's a guy that is more scientist than engineer. I've made him about as Victorian as I'm comfortable with. :) Ideally I'd like to see both versions modeled.

 

I'm imagining the coat as a pale colour, like a lab coat, heavily stained. Making it black would start to look too much like the Founders. His hair is prematurely grey, long, and tied back with ribbons.

I wouldn't call it Victorian style at all, I thought it was Beethoven at first glance -but someone has hacked a playable piano into the engine already, so it's all good.

But yes, I like these more than the others. More of a Dr. Frankenstein look about them.

Ren: I think we should have both versions. One is a hands-on engineer type and this one is more of a mad-scientist.

 

Odd: I was assuming we meant 1800s when we talk about a Victorian flavour, pretty much everything in there is from that period (I think it's the hair that creates the Beethovan impression, but that's also early 1800s).

 

I like the fact that these guys could also double as some kind of Cradle-inspired surgeons. :)

:o Holy crap that's an awesome concept. I totally see him sitting at a drafting table, drawing up the next big metal bot. I might have to model this guy before the ordinary town's folk :lol:

I'm going to live forever, or die trying.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
