#ill probably combine both knight lynxo and rogue lynxo at the point of grace

IM BACK WITH MORE DND LYNXOS

it all started with a convo i was having with my bf about helmets and knights and this one specific french helm from ww1 i think, with the barcode visor for ruble protection.

i almost knstantly realized that it kinda has an animal head shape so i thought to myself, could i tinker it enough so its a proper for for my lynxo?

after lining everything up (straight up tracing cause it was just a test to beging with) i used a lynxo head to see where the eyes and ears fall to edit the helm acordingly.

the whole face hole situation got extremely complicated because at first i wanted the same horizontal bar design for the eyes but i couldnt pull it off, same for the mouth. then i tried giving the mouth eother teeth holes (properly shaped after lynx teeth) and then just making holes where the shapes fall to try and imitate it, horribly.

at the end i decided to use the same cross holes from the ear pieces for both eyes and mouth. also gotta remark those two bigger stretched holes in the middle are mimicing the shape (and on theory the functionality) of animal noses that take air from in front but push it out thru the sides giving them better smelling

after that it was finished really, i didnt know what to do except keep the idea for maybe a 3d model or some other drawing later doen the line but my since my bf was drawing a new birdo on shinning armor and i was helpping him i decided to make it into a full on knight. cue next image: the whole body (because i forgor 💀 to take a screenshot of only the body and im too laxy to do it now)

even tho i had found a lot of inspiration on my bf's work im not in the correct place of mind to start a long project of a couple of days like the rogue lynxo so i pulled out my new brush and just started doing the lineart, rough and not pulling back, using the body to put every armor piece into place without thinking about it beforehand, designing a whole armor set from scratch with the brush in hand and then...

it was done, i used the same rough pen brush to do the coloring and there it was, a very simply sketch, roughly shadowed along with the lineart and colored while watching some youtube in a very nice april afternoon.

a new boy is born, one born into metal and shaped to be a tool of war, what adventures will he go on? who knows, i just hope he finds himself anew
