Here’s an early healer character concept from Shroud of the Avatar. I went full-on steampunk with this guy. I don’t know if he could exist in the same world as the farmers I showed earlier, but he does cut a striking figure. High collars for mad scientists are the bomb.
I have no idea where the circle and wings symbol came from, I think I just made it up. And when drawing a character concept, how many times do you get to use the word sphygmomanometer?
I did hit the thesaurus for words that sounded old-timey scientific, but I didn’t find very many. Hence the over-reliance on “electro-” for his equipment names.
By the way, is there a word for the kind of language in the wild west period where you had words like spitoon, saloon, bamboozle, ballyhoo, hellabaloo, etc? It seems to me that that should be a thing.
