It’s Hahkka! She’s my (very thinly veiled self-insert) Sky Clan Tenakth OC.

Born and raised in The Bulwark, Hahkka was initially a disappointment to her warrior parents, due to not being very good at fighting and failing the March of the Ten. She eventually found her true calling as a painter, apprenticing under the elder Suzekka. Hahkka often found herself at odds with Tekotteh, who kept ordering bigger and more outlandish artworks to adorn the bulwark and stoke his ego. So, when a certain redhead and her Marshal companion show up and BLOW UP the wall with so many of her hand painted works on it, she is of course, extremely mad about it. Tekotteh made her rush those hundreds of spikes and now he’s going to do it again!!

So she decides to pack up her pigments, brushes, and trusty bomb sling and hit the road. She finds there’s a whole new world out there full of excitement, terrifying machines and so many more beautiful pigments to turn into paint. She spends some time with the Desert Clan, creating a monument to Drakka’s (and Aloy’s) defeat of the Thunderjaw and Stormbird. He makes her redo it twice. He’s on her shit list.

However, during her time in the desert, she finds an orphan peccary and decides to keep her as a pet. Pepper now has immunity amongst all three clans and multiple Oseram camps.

Hahkka makes it to the Grove after a while and spends part of her time there selling pigments and smaller art pieces. She often takes long trips into the wilds, with hired guards, to collect and trade rare pigments to bring back with her. (Side Quest: Aloy runs into her in the wild. After half scolding/half praising her for blowing up the Bulwark, Hahkka asks for Aloy’s help in clearing out a quarry full of bandits so she can go back to harvesting that particular blue she likes so much.)

Eventually she catches wind of the Oseram goings on at Hidden Ember and goes to have a look. The Oseram have taken up doing elaborate stage shows, so she lends her talents to carving and painting the scenery. The town’s “Safety Manager”, an energetic Oseram woman named Osha, comes to have a talk about the practicality of having so many spikes built into a stage that the actors might fall into. Hahkka is instantly in love. The two are currently engaged in the slowest of burns.

There ya go, thanks for reading! Hope I can wrangle more time to draw her in the future!

Calling all Horizon Fans!

Are you fascinated by the world of horizon just like I am? Do you have original characters you've created to further explore this incredible world? Do you want someone to ramble to about these characters?

Then I'm inviting you to the Great Horizon OC Exhibition! Just reblog this post and share a couple things about your original characters in the horizon world (or go as in depth as you want, it's all for fun!!)

What is their name?

What is their gender?

How old are they?

What Tribe/clan are they from?

Do they have a backstory? If so, share as much as you want!

Do you have any art of them? If not, do you have a general description of what they look like?

I can't wait to hear about everyone's ideas and Ocs!! Have fun!

The greatest thing we can do in life is find the power to forgive

dialogue and concept loosely adapted from various scenes of Kenzo and Sarah from the show Giri/Haji (it’s a great show go watch it)

imo I don’t think he unwraps his scars or goes without paint except in the most vulnerable or intimate of circumstances. it’s like wearing clothes for tenakth. that’s only for certain people

anyway i 💜 mutually supportive relationships based on deep respect for each other

[gnollgrin]

Late night conversations with @gnollgrin are always a treat. I think about Shimmer a lot for someone who doesn't think much otherwise

Our darling Greg(g) Silco

@gnollgrin: people in Arcane have weird names. Benzo. Silco.

@hannahmationstudios: are we sure Silco is his first name? Could be his last name.

@gnollgrin: as opposed to what? Greg?

Silco Arcane continues to suffer my low effort shitposting for being my favourite wet cat man

Hellllloooooooooo! 🔥 Rex, I love her!!!!1

Gift for @gnollgrin my fellow Karlach-Enjoyer

[gnollgrin]

Not likely to finish this, but I am still drawing a bit while I frantically prep old work for con merch! What did Karlach SAY to Tav? Goodness!

[gnollgrin]

Sleepies! Han found a super cute pose ref meme and I just had to draw the squad.

BIIIIIIIIIIIII(EEEEEEEEEE)IIIIG STRETCH!

FORRRRRRRRDDDDDD!!!

“My reasons for doing what I do are bigger than you,” [Ford] told her, his voice quiet. “I won’t apologize for them.”

Ford is a minor side character introduced in the newest chapter of my post-HFW longfic, Fallen Skies. I ended up liking him a lot more than I expected and so wanted to draw him.

[gnollgrin]

Tired of working on this so into the wild it goes! My Horizon OC Ared with his younger siblings Dia and Clint, from my post-HFW Kotaloy longfic Fallen Skies

[gnollgrin]

Just love them both to the Moon and back…

My Horizon OC, Hahkka, and her lil’ peccary pal, Pepper, rethinking taking that gig in the high mountains. Drew this on an unusually cold spring night.

[gnollgrin]

Kotallo hummed, brushing a stray hair from her face.  “I have no appetite,” he told her, his voice low.  “I would prefer you take it and be nourished.”

Aloy made a face, having expected that.  “Could you… try?” she asked him, quietly.  “For me?” - Fallen Skies, Ch.21

My post-HFW Kotaloy longfic, Fallen Skies, just recently updated again, and I'm feeling super normal about it. Not crying at all.

A little Modern AU kissin’, also drawn a while back. Yoinking your partner’s flannels is one of the best perks of a relationship.

I never posted this! This is concept art I did for Maelune, the Erie (Forest Coterie) High Matriarch from the most recently posted chapter of my post-HFW Kotaloy longfic, Fallen Skies. She is a warrior queen with an impressive amount of kills to her name.

The Erie are an original tribe from Fallen Skies. One of their members (Ared) has been a thorn in the Gang's side for the entirety of the fic so far, and in this most recent chapter, they've finally been taken to the heart of Erie territory... whether they wanted to or not.
