Hi!, i'm Lynz, She/Her or Them/They Animation and Games Professor - Indie Dev- all around geek this is a place that is a mix of my fan works and current projects Asks Welcomed i Follow from @novice-hawke

[novicehawke]

I think its time i make a proper pinned Intro post

Hey Guys i'm Lynz(she/her,them/they), i also go by Hawke here online. I'm an Animation and Game Arts Professor and Independent artist. currently working on setting up a webcomic(more info to come), this is a side blog I follow people from @novice-hawke (this is my "i post whatever i want" account)

this blog started off as solely an art blog/portfolio for me to share whatever I'm working on, but I've gotten looser sharing other things that deal with the stuff i create as well!

the fandoms I'm most active in are : I Was a Teenage Exocolonist (i am so many OCs and i am only partly sorry), Life is Strange, Warframe and most Bioware games. but I'm super into story driven games in general

I'm trying to get more active on BlueSky and Instagram, and this is going to be my second year doing Artfight, i use the same name on all social medias when i can.

if you like my art you can commission me here! [Commissions Closed until August] my ask box is always open so free free to ask me questions! and if we are mutuals feel free to Dm me or ask for my discord. I'm not great at starting conversations, but i love sharing ideas!

[novicehawke]

lets gooo! i have enough character's to fill this thing this year! last year joining art fight was a last minute choice but this year i am prepared and sooooo ready!

you can find me here!

been doodling on my Ipad a lot since I'm away from my main set up at the moment, was playing around with some brushes, i felt this was cute enough to share.

[novicehawke]

Though I'd revisit an idea I was toying with. so here is some of my OCs (Ozzy and Mags) as Gemstones.

🛏️ for any of them? (How they act when they’re tired)

I’ll throw a few for this, in order of  easiest to tell is tired to hardest.

Mags is very easy to tell,  she gets a bit whiny and clingy/cuddly to her partner if she is around them tired. She is a cuddler when she sleeps and doesn't like to go to bed alone. 

Dom moves a lot slower when she is tried since she is normally a ever energetic person you can see how tired she is in how she moves.. Her tail drags a bit  but she still swears she is good to work. 

Louie falls asleep easily and if she is tired she has fallen asleep sitting up at her desk while working.

Tired Dora is the rare time where some of her angry side shows. She is a bit short with people and snappy, but she normally catches herself when she gets like that. 

Ozzy is the hardest to tell, since the girl has permanent bags under her eyes she always looks a bit tired.  She gets more clumsy, more likely to drop or bump into things. loses track of what she is saying mid sentence.

Since I'm away for about two weeks I still wanted to have something to post just in case i didn't doodle much on the trip. so horded some artto share now., so here is an Ozzy i used to test some brush stuff/rendering a head of artfight.

[novicehawke]

While digging though my Procreate files I found somethings that would be fun to share that I totally forgot about. this is TECHNICALLY my first Draft at Ozzy, i believe i was calling her Bitmap "Bit" back then (at least that's what the sketch says) it seems she had a very different energy back then its strange to compare them now.

Heads up for my followers, Commissions are officially closed until early to mid August.

[novicehawke]

so.. my mind is still rotating on this Ask about my Exo OC's in the " Life on Earth ending" i realized i left out a Super Important Detail about Odyssey(Ozzy) and Pilgrimage(Grim) if they were born on earth they both would have different names. they were only given the names they were because they were born during the Trip both of their names are for type of Long distance travel.

I went a bit into a speculative direction to who she would be more.. so here is a doodle of Nocturnal (Nal) Compound mechanic who specializes in the defiance drones.

Commission for @lavandulalurker of her OC Fusion Moss Agate. I love her design so much, thank you for giving me a reason to draw her!

Oh my god I never shared my cowgirls on here... Can i interest you in a Demonic Butch and her Vampire Wife? This is Rose Rusty Valentine and Annabell Love, two characters made back in grad school I'm updating Rusty for art fight and felt Annabell should get some love too(she will be up this year also) I love the project they are from so I'm sharing more art and yapping under the cut

this was part of a concept design class i was taking while working on my MFA. if my log is right they are from early 2024...the project these two were from was to create a "dream pitch" for a project we would want to create. so i created " Devil's Deal" a cowboy game concept the elevator pitch was after a heist goes south Rusty sells her Soul to a devil to save herself, and get revenge on the person who wronged her.

I was heavily inspired by the song" Hell's coming with me" for this, and i happen to still have the mood board i made for the project!

one of my favorite details was Rusty had three designs Human, Hybrid, and Devil. and what design the player would see would be determened on their actions in the game. ( think like Shepherds scars in mass effect 2) more "good" actions Rusty retains her humanity, more evil. she becomes more devilish.

for this project i was playing SOOO much with shapes. Rusty started off being heavily triangle based. a lot of share edges, but ment to feel lanky. The more demonic she would become the more square her shape language would be. this was to represent her power as well as trying to make her appear more intimidating. Anna was her side kick, in the game play she was an informant for their gang the Hellhounds, and for her original design she was meant to be Rusty's moral compass. She was all soft edges and sweetness. this version was the" I can fix her" to Rusty's situation.

this version of her worked for the project at the time, but as I've been working to update Rusty's art. I felt that it wasn't as fitting to Why Anna was part of the gang. she felt too "clean' to be running with a gang of outlaws. hence the newer version her story does not change too much, she is still Rusty's partner, still acts as the informant, but at one point in her story Rusty finds her captured. in the original story it is just to keep her from tracking down the game's villain, but in the new re-write. she has been turned by one of the villain's lackeys. this is the" i can make her worse" AU if you want to call it that. where original Annabell wanted to bring out the good in Rusty. Vampire Annabell has more of a " well we are both damned might as well go down swinging.."

I might do more with these two in time, I love the idea of their story, even if the full game would me way more then I can handle.

and just for fun, and pride, here is them kissing that was the 'send off' of my pitch

[novicehawke]

I've been wanting to play around with aging up some of the sprites for the Exo cast. and it seems like when ever i start these i always start with Nem...( i just think she is neat..)

I feel like she would still be strong but as she gets older she would start to take on more of Anne's build. More of a strong man type of strength vs track and field runner she has in her late teen sprite.

[novicehawke]

I needed to get this silly idea out of my head so i could work on what i meant to do today...

as someone in my 30's. that makes Disciplinary older then most of the Exo Sona's, i have no idea where this idea came from maybe cause the game has all the different age sprites, but here is "Young Adult" Disciplinary
