Lynxie's Corner of the Web

This blog is going to be a place where I not only share my art but also unapologetically talk about my interests like the media I enjoy and my ocs.

You can see some examples of what kind of art you can expect me to post here below.

Here are my primary interests that I will be talking about and posting art of on my blog:

Splatoon

Ben 10

Pokemon

5yl - a crossover continuation comic of Ben 10 and Danny Phantom

Furry fandom creations

Mixels

Fnaf

Steven Universe

The content I watch on YouTube

You can ask me anything about me or my art, however I can't guarantee that I'll answer your question.

My other socials can be found here.

Since Artfight has just begun, I might as well advertise that I'm participating this year! Shoot me an attack if you'd like, and I just might draw something in return!

There are a couple of characters I still haven't had the time to update, as well as a couple of new characters I might add, though! But for now, I wanna focus on getting a strong start to this year's fight, at least for the first couple of days!

Now, this scene was a surprise! Divinity disabling the Omnitrix's failsafes! I wasn't expecting this, but with Divinity's powers anything is possible, I guess!

I know that many people in the 5yl fandom don't want to give Divinity any credit. They think he's chopped compared to Alien X. But Divinity has something Ben as Alien X doesn't: he's intelligent and has a thought out plan. Ben, on the other hand, isn't the brightest and usually goes with the flow without anything planned out. Divinity did win in all those other timelines after all, and for a good reason!

In this scene, we can see cameos of several of the most powerful beings from other media! I don't know all of them, but I can recognize most! Comment below who the characters I couldn't name are! On the left we've got: a generic Earth god?(probably some kind of Greek god?), Uncle Grandpa(funny, but appropriate!), White Diamond from Steven Universe, the Pale King from Hollow Knight, Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls, and the Ink Tank's own Crystalmoon101(I guess, she's just that powerful!). On the right we have: Caine from Digital Circus, a Chronosapien?(could be a character I'm unfamiliar with, but could also be a tease for one of the Ink Tank's future projects!), Grob Gob Glob Grod from Adventure Time, Galactus from Marvel Comics, a character I'm not familiar with, Alien X, and Professor Paradox, both from Ben 10(although the last one could also be one of the doctors from Doctor Who, they're basically the same thing as Paradox anyway, lol!).

Y'know I was low-key expecting Clone Vlad to succeed in killing Ben. I mean, it was literally foreshadowed for several chapters, but I don't think most were expecting it to actually happen, which is what makes this scene still effectively shocking, I think!

To add to what I said before, I hope that anyone who ever doubted Divinity finally understands how much of a threat he is after this scene! He did literally win right here!

Infinite Vlad(that's what I'll be calling him for now) is so cool! And Divinity is right in this scene: Clone Vlad has become far more powerful than original Vlad, having gone through the Nexus of Infinity! I'm, honestly, a bit surprised that Clone Vlad didn't kill the original, or there wasn't at least a bit of a clash between them to show their power disparity! But, I guess they're the same person, and thus have the same goals, especially after the deal was fulfilled! No need to fight then!

I was so excited to see Divinity get beat up by the ghost trio! Don't get me wrong, he's a fun villain, but he had to get served what was coming to him!

And we get to see them fight him in an incredibly animated sequence! Seems like the Tank didn't want to leave all that animation exclusive to episode 13 and saved some for the finale! The combat is so fun, surreal, and inventive here! Every animator did an incredible job! I can't say much besides that, to be honest! I have a lot more to say about the story than the action! I'm excited to see whatever the Ink Tank has in store next!

We get to see the Limax war! That's wild! What's even wilder is that the Fulnini are there! What are they doing here? They were supposed to be extinct in the 5yl universe!

Well, this is about as close to a confession of love we'll get from Divinity to Vlad! In case you don't know, Kuro has gone on to say on several occasions that Divinity has a special admiration for Vlad, one that crosses into something of a romantic infatuation. This isn't something I expected to be reflected in the comic proper in any obvious way, but, I guess, this is as clear as it could get!

I wasn't expecting Vlad to enter Divinity like that, damn!😳 Dirty jokes aside, this is a great moment that perfectly closes both Vlad's and Divinity's arcs! It's so ironic that Divinity's undoing was brought about by his secret weapon, his golden ticket to infinite power and control, as well as a person he deeply admired. It is, on the other hand, quite poetic that after a life of villainy and bad deeds, Vlad sacrifices his life to bring peace to the universe! It's a perfect bittersweet end to his story!

I was sooo excited to see Disk Jockey appear in the motion comic! He's been my long time favourite 5yl alien, but he's definitely beloved among fans and the Tank themselves, too! Of course they had to bring him in for the finale! I love the little chatter he gets after each line he says! It's very cute, and suits his lore, too, in a way!

Grey Matter was also exciting to see, but I can say that for the entire scene! After having only the Powerhouse Playlist for so long it was exciting to see some other aliens for a change!

And we get an entirely new alien, too: Branch-out! This guy was teased on last year's 5yl anniversary stream, and I was quite curious what his deal was! I thought he might be like a secret 11th Powerhouse Playlist alien, or an alien Ben uses in the And Beyond movie, but, I guess, he's quite the opposite of that, haha! It seems to me that this scene serves to show off some of Ben's non combat oriented aliens, so, I guess, Branch-out is more of a civilian level alien, too! Turns out he's a father and son collaborative creation between Yuri Lowenthal and his son Sagan! Sagan designed Branch-out and Yury voiced him! That's so wonderful!

Since there are two Vlads, he gets two different conclusions to his arc! How convenient! But, honestly, I really do like that Infinite Vlad gets to help out the Chronians! He's powerful enough to be on their level, and beyond a bit, maybe! Plus, this gives Vlad's life a purpose that he didn't have before! I am really curious how Vlad broke the news to the Chronians about their emissary deciding to conquer the multiverse, and got them on his side! That must have been an interesting conversation!

Y'know, I was fully expecting Crawnch's death to be permanent, but, I guess, he's just that resilient! It's great to see that the Orion Squad still has all its members! It's also cute that GoTro became a prosthetic arm for Crawnch!

This scene is chock full of cameos! A paradise for an avid Ben 10 and 5yl fan, which I am! I'm gonna try to name as many as I can, but, again, tell me what I didn't get or got wrong in the comments!

Let's start from the right! In the foreground, we have our first look at 5yl Jimmy Jones along with some girl I don't recognize! In the middle of them is Commander Crow-Shay Searez from the Kylmyss episode of And Beyond. In the background is straight up the real Ink Tank, from left to right we have: Ryan, Kellen, Hurshie, Avery, Rob, and, I'm assuming, Rob's wife Yvonne! Behind them on the wall, we have Swamps, Fridge, and Hugh from the Alien Force episode Double or Nothing. Alongside them is a Lenopan, likely Deefus, as just like the other three, he played Ben!

In the middle, in front of Mr. Smoothy is Pakmar. Behind him we can see Kevin and Zed placing an order, and the kid who used to work at Mr. Smoothy's in Omniverse still works there now! On top of the Mr Smoothy we can see a couple of Aerophibians from the Aeropela episode of And Beyond! We can also see this Nemuina civilian. He was designed by Ash on a stream a long time ago, and has made a cameo in the background of the Ledgerdomain And Beyond! It's nice to see him here, too!

Slightly to the right of Mr. Smoothy, we can see some of OV's background plumbers, mainly Jerry, Bromeba, Molly Gunther(I think), Morty, as well as Magister Patelliday. Near the table behind them, we can see Tak, and the Arachnichimp at that table could be Simian. I don't know who the others might be, though. On the wall behind that table we can see Pax with a girl I can't recognize. A bit to the left of them is Tomma from the Krypton and Vegeta And Beyond, along with Radditz, Broly, and Kakarot, who also cameoed in that same episode!

Behind where the main cast are sitting, we can see Hoaxtar, and to the left of them, on the wall, we can see Rook Ben, Lucy, and the OV background Billy alien sitting there together.

These are all I could recognize in this scene!

I think Ben's much more muscular body as Ben 10k, being partially a result of the Omnitrix fully regenerating his body after death, makes a lot of sense! It's nice that we get to see this transitional phase between 5yl Ben and Ben 10k! It isn't surprising in the slightest, considering that this idea is coming from Kuro, someone who believes that Ben 10k's Omnitrix is integrated into his body!

In this background there are mostly characters we saw before, but we also have Ben's parents: Carl and Sandra, as well as Mr. Baumann, one of Ben's Necrofriggian kids - Glacier, and even Azmuth himself!

In this last background, many characters are obscured, but we can still make out a few notable cameos. From left to right, we have: another Crystalmoon cameo, Starbeard enjoying a smoothie(hilarious!), the Tenatcle Vendor - a background OV alien, Dr. Rabbitnik and Son Nik from the Ages Orbit And Beyond, as well as Yetta from Omniverse.

And that's just about everything I had to point out! This is truly an end of an era!

5yl was something very important to me! It greatly influenced my art and inspired me endlessly! It revived my love for Ben 10! It continues to be one of my biggest interests! It was truly something special! I wish I could say more, but, honestly, everything I've drawn and written in the past speaks loud enough of my love for this incredible fan comic!

So, I want to say thank you to Kuro for coming up with the idea and writing such a great story, to the rest of the Ink Tank for all their contributions that made the comic come to life, and to everyone else who had part in the creation of 5yl for making it even more special!

You know the drill by now! It's the 11th, and that means more Antitrix transformations!

This time I'm tackling Crystalfist, whom I've renamed to Mineroul(Mineral+Ghoul) for reasons you'll soon find out!

Crystalfist was an alien that was tough to figure out an interesting rework concept for, but it is when I decided to focus in on a specific detail did I figure out something I really liked! I noticed that Crystalfist has those strange ribcage-like crystals on his torso, after that everything clicked for me: I had to go in the undead direction!

With that said, Mineroul is a fusion of Petrosapien and Necrofriggian DNA. He may still be made of crystals, though not diamonds, but ice instead! This makes him more fragile than Diamondhead, though, his ice body is still pretty tough, but it does give him the ability to manipulate his ice body in a way Diamondhead can't! Mineroul is able to briefly turn his body into vapor, allowing him to pass through objects or dodge attacks thrown at him. Unlike Big Chill, though, he does not get fully intangible, meaning that he can't just straight up go through walls. He is also extremely vulnerable to heat in his vapor form. His solid form is weakened under heat, too, making him and his constructs a bit more vulnerable to physical impacts, but as vapor he can straight up get condensed into water, making Kevin instantly detransform. Naturally, Mineroul keeps Diamondhead's crystal generation ability, but he also gets ice breath to add to it!

Crystalfist is probably the Antitrix alien I've been the most torn on in terms of what I wanted my version of him to be! I've come up with several ideas that could act as fun and unique reinterpretations of him, but ultimately Mineroul was both a creative take on Crystalfist and followed the design conventions I set for the aliens in this Antitrix au best, too!

I'm a little late, but here's the next Antitrix alien I redesigned! This week, my choice fell on Bootleg, who I decided to rename to Hijack, as the original name didn't quite fit the alien anyway. This won't be the only Antitrix transformation I rename, as there will be a few, where their names don't suit my concepts at all!

I chose to fuse Upgrade with Frankenstrike. I mainly did this because his coils and metallic parts could help recreate Bootleg's armor really well, but also, his electrical abilities complement Upgrade's natural ones already!

It's time once again for more mixes! This week's theme is mixes with long arms!

Last mix for today is a remake of one that's more recent than the previous two, a Gox and Glomp Mix from 2021!

The second very old mix I remade was this Skrubz and Slusho mix! I spoke a bit more about this old mix in the previous post, so check it out, if you'd like a bot more context! You can see the mix I remade here on the last slide!

Now this, I feel, is the bigger glow-up of the two! I'm quite proud of how both the lego and cartoon versions came out here!

Sorry that there haven't been weekly mixes for the last two weeks! It's a bit hard for me to stick to long-term commitments like that consistently... But, I should be back on track now!

This week's mixes theme is that they're all remakes of mixes I've made before!

This mix and the next one are overhauls of mixes I've made wayyyyy long ago, even prior to creating this account.(Take a look at the mix for yourself by scrolling a few slides!) They're about 6 or 7 years old now and were some of the first original mixes I've built that I can remember, at least! Obviously, they're quite bad by my current standards, which is why I remade them! They were both too much and not enough at the same time! Now, the reason why I'm not showing you the actual builds is because the pictures I took back then were atrocious and I don't want to waste my time rebuilding subpar builds, so you're just getting the cartoon versions I sketched up!

Wooo, Splatoon news just dropping out of the blue again! I'm not even surprised anymore! But they're very exciting news! We finally know the release date of Splatoon Raiders, which is July 23rd, which is sooner than I expected and just slightly over a year since we even found out about the game!

Obviously, the release date wasn't the only thing they showed in the trailer, and they've shown A LOT! And they barely told us anything about the game on social media, though they probably will in the coming months! But I wanna get a bit ahead of the curb here and infer a bit of what the game will be like based on what we were shown! So press 'Keep Reading' to see my full analysis! Though brace yourselves! It's quite lengthy!

The next mix is one that strives to fill in another slot among the missing series 7 mixes: it's a Tiketz and Paladum mix!

This mix is meant to be like a chariot, and the horse it combined! I imagine this mix has a bit of a clown car quality to him: being able to hold more mixels inside him than it might look at first glance based on his size.

This week, I'm showing off all the mixes that involve the Medivals. We're starting off with Cammilot and Boogly.

It's the 11th! You know what that means? It's time for another Antitrix transformation! This month, it's Dark Matter's turn.

Dark Matter is red, lanky, and produces an odd substance from his body. There's an alien that fits this description perfectly in the classic series: Astrodactyl! As such, this is who I decided to fuse Grey Matter with!

Dark Matter was already among my favourite Antitrix transformations, so I didn't change him much ability-wise!

Dark Matter is able to secrete cerebrospinal fluid from bone-like protrusions on his forearms and back. Upon contact with air, it begins to crystallize, and by shaping it, while it hardens, Kevin can create all kinds of crystal weapons and tools. It can also he ejected as fireballs, which Kevin mostly does by launching them cannon-style from his back, or launch them from his forearms to give himself a vertical boost.

Naturally, Dark Matter still has Grey Matter's heightened intelligence and wall scaling abilities. However, since he's a lot larger than Grey Matter, he can't utilize these abilities in the same way. He can't do precision work on technology as naturally as Grey Matter, instead Kevin mostly utilizes his knowledge to create elaborate traps, especially since Datk Matter can create some components himself. He's definitely faster, stronger, and more agile than Grey Matter, but due to his size, it is not as good at hiding.

This time, I also want to note the Antitrix badge placement. Since Kevin has a limited selection of aliens, I'm trying to give every single one of them a unique badge placement. Dark Matter's is on his right shoulder, just like Astrodactyl's.

To continue with the series 6 theme, here's a mix that involves one of the Glorp Corp Cousins!
