The last one remaining

I had this idea for a while: Crosshair discovers that in addition to being the baby of the Batch he also is the last virgin of the Batch.

Enjoy, laugh, or hug the poor man, as you like 😀.

Pairing: Clone Force 99 (except Crosshair, naturally) x other clones.

Rated M; no smut, only frisky discussions.

Crosshair was glowering. Hunter was glowing. Karking hell, as if it was the top-of-the world experience to stick one’s overly eager dick into a regular-size hole.

If it was the other way round, Crosshair didn't even want to think about it.

“Really, Hunter? You and that ‘got stranded on Felucia for a tenday’ guy? ‘Ooh, you must tell me everything,’ really?” Crosshair looked at his other brothers and declared furiously, “Hunter is fucking with a reg!”

Hunter opened his arms and shrugged, “Fuck, yes.”

Wrecker looked puzzled. “Who doesn't?”

“Wrecker, I don't mean figuratively fucking with the regs. He is literally fucking one, if you even know what it means.”

“I don't. Which pose is literally?”

Crosshair made a choking sound. Hunter huffed. “Guess, he knows perfectly what the fucking is. I smelled at least three different regs on him during our stay with the 212th only.”

“You smelled wrong! Who says they were ON me?”

“I'd better put a request for more quick STD tests.” Tech might have been discussing the level of grease in Marauder’s ramp hinges in this casual tone. “As for your concerns, Crosshair, fucking regs is a perfectly logical solution. Considering that there is not much readily available alternative.”

Now Crosshair was not the only one staring at Tech.

“I knew it,” Wrecker chuckled happily. “All these never-ending maintenance procedures, modifications, and repairs. And lo-ong stays at the base's workshop.”

Tech stared back, unfazed.

“Actually, sometimes long breaks between welding the details are necessary for the metal alloy to cool slowly and solidify properly.”

“Yeah. And these long breaks must be filled with something.”

“Precisely.”

“What’s wrong with caf breaks?” Crosshair hated how his voice almost cracked from knowing in advance he was suggesting something agonisingly lame. However, Tech gave his question some thought as if he offered a sound alternative.

“Excessive caf consumption is known to lead to multiple health issues.”

“And you can't be excessive with…” Wrecker's enthusiastic gesture was way too explicit for Crosshair's taste.

“No, sex can be excessive, too. But reaching its limits is far more—”

“Fun?”

“—challenging.”

“Nah, just practice and get good. Like with everything else!” Wrecker was almost bouncing from excitement. “What is your high score, in a day?”

Trying and failing not to look smug, Tech instead of answering flashed several fingers. An impressive number of fingers

“You mean minutes, right?” Crosshair equally failed to sound like he was joking. “Right?!”

“Tech, are you sure so much welding is safe for the ship's integrity?” asked Hunter with almost sincere concern.

Meanwhile, Wrecker was overexcited with this new competition.

“What about you, Crosshair?” It dawned upon him then. “Hey, do you mean that you never, not even once?..”

“Fuck you,” Crosshair snapped and stormed out. Hunter’s eyebrows jumped almost under his bandana. Tech took his goggles off and focused too intensely on polishing them. Only Wrecker broke openly into roaring laughter.

***

“Sergeant Hunter?”

It was quite late already when Lieutenant Waxer knocked on the door of the Batch’s guest barracks. Crosshair was following him, his shoulders hunched as if he was miserably trying to hide behind a shorter reg.

“This one is yours, I presume? Unless you gave in to temptation and traded him for Longshot.”

Hunter hummed. “Yeah. Should I regret that I didn't?”

Crosshair managed to glare at both of them with his head still bowed low.

“No worries. Nothing Marshall Commander Cody hasn't been able to handle.”

“Commander Cody, eh?”

Waxer patted Crosshair's shoulder, nudging him inside the barracks at the same time.

“That damned irresistible charisma of the commander class,” said Waxer, lowering his voice to barely audible.

Hunter nodded. “Oh, I get the idea.” Damn, Crosshair wouldn't be Crosshair. Decided to outmatch them all in one breath by going straight after Commander Cody.

“Hope nothing Commander would not be able to tell General Kenobi,” Hunter said pointedly. The flush on Crosshair's cheekbones deepened. Waxer did his best to put on a stern face.

“Commander Cody is a gentleman, Sergeant.”

“Right…”

Unexpectedly Waxer, losing his stern composure in an instant, waved at someone behind Hunter's back. “Hey, big guy! Weren't going to leave without saying a proper goodbye to me and Boil, I hope?”

Hunter turned on his heels just in time to see Wrecker's radiant smile blossoming. “Me? Not a chance, Lieutenant!”

Crosshair crept in and curled on his top bunk, almost out of view. Hunter sighed as a flash of pity struck his chest.

Cody was a gentleman. But, unfortunately, none of the Batch were.

Hiii Andy! I've adore your art for years and your characters. Their designs are so lovely!! And expressive!! I was wondering if you had any tips for a cohesive character design? Or even advice on adding little asymmetrical details or features? And help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Wishing you all the best!

HELLOO!!! AAAH Thank you so much for such a thoughtful question, this makes me so happy to hear! I'm so sorry it took me so long to get back to you, it turns out I have way too many things to say about this topic AKLSDHFKLSDG

(pls take this readmore<3)

For the starting point in a design, I try to stick to whatever rules apply for the setting the character is in, and their role in that setting.

Basic colour theory is always at the back of my mind, as well. I tend to use analogous and complementary colours when I design my characters and their closets. Analogous colours keep a palette contained and feeling similar to itself without being monotone. And then using colours that are complementary to that elsewhere in the design adds contrast while still maintaining that feeling of cohesion :D

The intended use of the character also heavily affects what can make a design cohesive or not - it's very dependent on art style and medium. (A design for use in animation would be extremely different from semi-realistic TTRPG concept art. The rest of what I've written skews more towards the second option!)

I consider the colours, shapes and materials that make sense for what I want to convey about the world, and how the character would want to be presented in it. The Dogwood characters are my current exercise; Mel's clothes fit him perfectly since he works a labor intensive job on the farm, and his identity is wrapped up in it so he never strays far from heavy cotton, straight cut. Ryan and Park both wear ill-fitting clothes in completely different ways (Ryan, butchly. Park, autistic and transly) - and they each have work uniforms. Ryan's work uniform suits her gnc appearance (welding coveralls/safety gear), while Park's uniform completely transforms him into "Just Some Guy" and that changes how others read him, too (cashier). And they all shop at Local Thrift Store / Farmer's Surplus / The Walmart 1hr Outside of Town. Their styles give them each a distinct silhouette, and their levels of social comfort as well as public expression contribute to body language, colour choices, and shapes that make them stand apart from each other despite living in the same small bubble. COHESION!

Asymmetrical details and features are my FAAAAV THEY ARE SO FUN, I find inspiration for these in people-watching, nature documentaries, architecture, my reflection, my friends.. <333 This part is also fun to tie in to the character's setting! Springboard questions like. Are they prone to injuries? Magical injuries? Do they have like, modern dental procedures available? Do they give a shit about crooked or crowded teeth? Are they missing a tooth, or did they chip one? Do they smile a lot and have crow's feet/other wrinkles? Do they get a lot of sun, and do they have/use sunscreen? (Even finer wrinkles.) Did they have acne as a teen? Do they still? Are they in a combat-heavy setting, with the scars to show it? Even more uniform features like freckles aren't symmetrical.

Clothing is really good to use to play with asymmetry - maybe the character rolls their cuffs but one is coming undone a little. Jewelry of all types is also great for asymmetry since it can go anywhere on the body!! Facial and other physical deformities or injuries are also incredible to see, and should be researched to find out if they impact other parts of a person's overall health and mobility outright. The different skin texture of a birthmark, for example! I noticed in certain photographs, the subject's red birthmark changed the texture of the skin, so I started drawing Orson with one drooping eyelid on the side affected by his birthmark. The more you look, the more you find!

Before I get too carried away. I try to use asymmetrical details and features as a way to boost that "world setting" cohesion, and to bring attention to parts of the character I am personally endeared by or want other people to notice. Mahon's snaggletooth is an eternal fav, which made me draw him smiling more, which made me more prone to drawing lines around his eyes. And since the anchor is in his left hand, and he tries to hide it subconsciously, I put thumb-holes in his left sleeves, which he plucks through as a nervous fidget, and as a result, his clothes pull a little across his entire body :D ITS VERY FUN to find the right jumping-off point that lets specific details click into place. For Mahon especially, since so many of those details are derived from the setting and his role in it!

Asymmetry and symmetry are just tools at ur disposal. Asymmetry tends to be more comfortable and natural. Symmetry gives a sense of stability and can be pushed for a sense of power, a sense of being uncanny, rigid, etc. Asymmetry can also be pushed into uncaniness depending on what it's applied to!! (But as a matter of personal taste, I find asymmetrical details to feel more natural and inviting than perfectly symmetrical ones. Which. Again. Depending on the character's purpose, could equally contribute to a cohesive design!!!)

OMG ok my final thought. Asymmetry can also be used as a balancing tool which yet again lends to a sense of cohesion. Adding a detail on the left while leaving it out on the right, repeated throughout with different details where applicable. Loam's colour spots, archery gear, scars and jewelry are all areas I've played with this idea.

TASK 001: INTRODUCTION ⸻ SKEETER HIGGENS

( pete davidson, twenty-nine , agender, he/they ) — Look who it is! If you take a look at our database, you’ll find that SKEETER DAWSON HIGGINS III is a PLUMBER that works in SECTOR 3. According to the file, they’re a mutant with the power of REGENERATIVE HEALING FACTOR. That must be why they’re BOLD and SELF-PITYING. If you ask me, they remind me of ❝ IGNORING THE POSSESSIVE AND SLIGHTLY ANGRY REMINDER THAT IT’S BROS BEFORE HOES IN EVERY SENSE OF THE SENTIMENT, SMOKE RINGS SPIRALING OVER A CLOUDED MESS OF WORRIES AS HE RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT LIKE THE SCRUB HE IS, AND THE LOUD KICK DRUMMING OF A POP PUNK TUNE BY A PAIR OF TRASHED AND SCRIBBLED OVER CONVERSE WHERE ONE OF THE PINKY TOES STICKS OUT❞. They are affiliated with NOBODY. 

PINTEREST — PLAYLIST — INTRO ( COMING SOON ) —STATS

questionnaire:

how do they feel about living in sol city? have they always lived there or did they travel from another settlement?

skeeter likes sol city unironically- in a "this is a good spot to raise children with a future wife" type of way which he doesn't admit out loud. he likes sol city more than the settlement he previously moved from which says enough.

do they trust the council's leadership? why or why not?

skeeter thinks he has no reason to NOT believe the council's leadership. you could say he lacks the context clues to see what others can in regards to mistrust and such-

if they chose their sector and profession, why did they make that choice? if they didn't, why not? were they happy with their assignment or not?

it likely would have been the same sector, just different profession if he could have his way. in his last settlement he was a welder, but plumbing and welding both deal with pipes, so there was a bit of an overlap due to the city's needs. it's whatever, to him.

what's one object that they always keep on their person?

his lexapro- he's got the depresso that sometimes renders him incapable of leaving his bedroom.

questionnaire ( mutant vers ):

what is your character's ability (or abilities)?

regenerative healing factor

are they gen i or gen ii?

gen ii

what can your character do? what are their strengths?

mutation based - the ability to automatically and rapidly heal for any physical damage and regrow lost or damaged tissues, organs, and/ or limbs. regeneration / healing factor is a process that happens unconsciously without the need for activation, resulting in a constant state of near optimal health. personality based - patience, brutal honesty and he's just really tall, tbh ( 6' 3")

what can't they do? what are their weaknesses?

mutation based - die, much to his chagrin ( this causes big existential dread & mental instability of course )- it makes surgical procedures nearly impossible & healing does not include pain suppression, so everything still really fucking hurts. regeneration also increases nutrition requirements so he's literally always hungry. severe enough damage can still pose a serious threat, and he can be overwhelmed by potent or sustained attacks. sometimes healing can also take days/weeks depending how bad the wound is. personality based - as confrontational as a new yorker, general deviousness, impulsivity & inconsistent motivation

Standard Welding Techniques Used by Mobile Welders

Mobile welding services have become crucial in the construction, manufacturing, and maintenance industries, offering the convenience of on-site welding. Whether fixing a damaged part of machinery, performing structural welding, or repairing vehicles, mobile welders are trained in various welding methods to meet their client's needs. This blog will explore some of the most common welding techniques proficient mobile welders in Brisbane use to ensure strong, durable, and efficient results.

1. MIG Welding (Metal Inert Gas Welding)

MIG welding is one of the most popular techniques mobile welders use, primarily because it is versatile and relatively easy to learn. MIG welding involves feeding a continuous wire electrode into the weld pool while an inert gas, such as argon, shields the weld from contaminants.

One of the key advantages of MIG welding is its ability to weld various materials, including steel, aluminium, and stainless steel. This makes it a preferred method for working on automotive repairs, structural welding, or fabrication projects. The process is fast and can produce clean, smooth welds with minimal spatter, making it ideal for jobs that require efficiency and high-quality results.

2. TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas Welding)

TIG welding is known for producing high-quality welds and is commonly used in applications where precision and clean welds are critical. In this process, a non-consumable tungsten electrode creates the arc. While an inert gas, typically argon, protects the weld area from contamination.

TIG welding procedure is ideal for thin materials and provides excellent control over the weld pool. It allows mobile welders to create highly precise welds. This technique is used for welding stainless steel, aluminium, and other alloys, making it common in aerospace, food processing, and automotive repairs. Due to its slower welding process, TIG welding is more time-consuming, resulting in robust and aesthetically pleasing welds.

3. Stick Welding (Shielded Metal Arc Welding - SMAW)

Stick welding, or Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), is one of the oldest and most traditional methods. It involves using a consumable electrode coated with a flux that melts during welding to form the weld and protect the molten metal from contamination.

Mobile welders favour this process for its portability. They can perform in outdoor conditions or on construction sites. Stick welding can be used on a wide range of metals, including carbon steel, cast iron, and low-alloy steel, making it highly versatile. Although it produces more spatter and requires more cleanup than MIG or TIG welding, stick welding is trustworthy for demanding heavy-duty welds and the ability to defy harsh environments.

4. Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)

Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) is similar to MIG welding. But instead of using a solid wire electrode, it uses a hollow electrode filled with flux. This flux core helps protect the weld pool and removes impurities during welding. It is similar to the function of the flux coating in stick welding.

Mobile welders often use FCAW for outdoor work because the process is less sensitive to wind and other environmental factors than MIG welding. It's commonly used for welding thicker structural steel and is popular in heavy construction, shipbuilding, and pipe welding projects. The flux core also produces a deeper penetration. Thus making it ideal for situations where more substantial, more durable welds are necessary.

5. Oxy-Acetylene Welding (OAW)

Oxy-acetylene welding, also known as gas welding, is one of the oldest welding methods. Though it's less common than modern techniques, it still plays a significant role in mobile welding. This process uses a combination of oxygen and acetylene gas to create a flame that melts the base material and filler rod, allowing the two pieces to fuse.

Mobile welders use this technique to repair metals and for brazing or soldering work. It's also beneficial when welding where electricity is not readily available, as the mobile welder only needs access to gas tanks. Though slower than other methods, oxy-acetylene welding is perfect for repairing smaller metal pieces, art projects, or working with thin materials.

6. Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)

Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) finds application primarily in heavy industrial applications where high-quality, high-strength welds are needed. In SAW, the welding arc is formed beneath a layer of flux, which is why it is called "submerged." The process is used for welding thick plates and in situations where the welds must be free of contamination.

Though typically done in a controlled environment or a fixed location, mobile welders may still use submerged arc welding for specific projects like pipeline construction, shipbuilding, and significant structural fabrications. It's a highly automated process that produces clean, strong welds with deep penetration.

7. Plasma Arc Welding (PAW)

Plasma Arc Welding (PAW) is a variation of TIG welding that uses an electrically ionized gas (plasma) to create the arc. The plasma provides a very high temperature that can weld even rigid materials with minimal distortion.

It requires specialized equipment and skill. However, plasma arc welding can benefit mobile welders working on high-precision aerospace applications, medical devices, and electronics. PAW offers more control and a more minor, focused arc than traditional TIG welding, making it ideal for detailed work on thin materials.

Conclusion

Mobile welders in Brisbane use various techniques depending on the job's needs and the materials they are working with. MIG welding, TIG welding, and stick welding are the most commonly used techniques, each offering unique advantages. Flux-cored welding, oxy-acetylene welding, submerged arc welding, and plasma arc welding also serve specific purposes in more specialised areas. The key to success for mobile welders is choosing the proper technique for the job, understanding its strengths and limitations, and applying their skills to produce high-quality, long-lasting welds. Whether they are working on automotive repairs, structural welding, or industrial fabrication, mastering these welding techniques allows mobile welders to deliver excellent results wherever their services are needed. Trust the expert mobile welders from KG FAB who are well-versed in all these cutting-edge techniques.

[fumefree]

Stick Welding, also referred to as Shreeped Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), is one of the more preferred techniques out there due to its simplicity and versatility. That said, the process of stick welding emits considerable smoke and contaminates the air which compromises the over well being of a workspace.
