Just a regular Zane portrait, no frills or anything. I was originally going to print this out for Zane's VA to sign, but never did because I picked another one of my arts instead.

A portrait of Zane Flynt (Borderlands 3) in three-quarters perspective from the chest up, dressed in his usual attire. He's looking off to the side and smirks, his mouth open as if he just said something he knew was hilarious. I can't tell you if the recipient thought the same; that is beyond my remit. The background is a soft grey.

digital fanart for the game borderlands 3, with the focus being on zane flynt aka the operative.

this sequence references the handsome jackpot entrance! where in which the player character has to fight quite the wave of sort of sentient gambling machines. zane is pictured using his digi-clone to battle between each slot machine, wielding a dahl pistol in one hand and his digi-clone trigger in the other. sntl flies around him to aid him in combat, notably causing quite the explosion behind two oncoming machines to the left. they are also wielding guns, notably the atlas rifle. the machines each have their individual emoji-like expressions; D:<, and ):<. one machine in the background is seen being taken out by the digi-clone using zane's melee swipe. cash litters the floor from the destroyed machines under the warm glow from the casino lighting.

'I'll be takin' this, thank you very much.'
I'm dusting off the old Zane art muscles I used to have. I'm gonna be drawing the boy again soon for zine purposes. #borderlands #zaneflynt #digitalart #sketch

A rough sketch of Zane Flynt (Borderlands 3) from the thighs up. He's pointing a gun at the viewer with his left hand and holding a USB stick in his right, indicating he's definitely taking this and it's for the best if you forgot he was here. Oh, but do remember how devilishly handsome he looked, though. Very important, that.

Figured I'd post some more art from my Zane Flynt-drawing days while I'm at it. I'll probably post a few more later as the zine's publication date draws closer. Not excuses are needed to post from the blorbo archives. xD #borderlands3 #borderlands #digitalart #zaneflynt

A pencil/fineliner drawing of Zane taking a shower. We see him from the side and from the chest up as he's leaning against the shower wall with his right hand and running his left hand through his hair. He looks pensive as the water is pouring down on him, and in the background steam is rising up from the water, covering most of the background. The right side is taken up by a tiled wall fading out of focus the further right you go.

On a reddish-orange background is written in rounded, white letters, one of Zane's insult combat lines: You couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo!'. The man himself is partially covering the -s and -a from "cow's arse" as he points off-screen with his right hand, gun brandished in his left, an indicator he's talking to someone we can't see. Zane himself is portrait with his usual outfit and from roughly the waist up.

A coloured, digital art of Zane standing on some dark-brown/reddish ground as smoke billows in front of and behind him. He appears to have some scrapes as his shirt has a tear in it and there's a cut in his forehead. He looked very pissed off and his eyepatch's usual blue colour is a right murderous red.
I think I originally titled this one 'shoot 'm again' or something similar, but it definitely has that vibe: if they don't shoot him now, there will be some regrets had.

A digital drawing of Zane sitting in a tub, bottle of drink in his right hand, having a well-deserved rest. He's exhaling a bit and his hair is down; a change from his usual spikes. Some water is trailing down his chest and arms.
The bath itself has a white rim but a copper-esque exterior.

I just wanted him to have a nice chill, really. Also, I like drawing him soaked, apparently. So sue me.

I ended up doing two Vampire Zane Flynt takes. Personally, the one on the right is my fav, but I'm a sucker for a suit so that's to be expected. That being said, feral vampire Zane is a delight as well. Like, just a big ol' blood-simpin' gremlin of a man. #borderlands #zaneflynt #digitalart #vampire

A digital drawing of a vampire version of Zane Flynt from the chest up, licking blood from his fingers as some of it is dribbling out of his mouth. His regular eye has a red iris while the usual white is a slight yellow. The other eye is a pale blue with no iris or pupil. He's staring at the viewer like they're his next meal, so highly disrespectfully.

An image from the thighs up of Zane Flynt as a vampire. He's wearing a dark waistcoat over a white shirt, and is wearing a type of necktie with a spider pin on it. The image is black and white, except for the eyes, which both have red irises. Dramatic lighting is coming in from the upper left corner of the image in the form of two beams of light, and are bathing Flynt's face and part of the lower body in light. He is smirking at the viewer, as if to say "Hey there. I see you've got some blood in ya. Mind sharin' some with a fella?".

Getting back on the Zane train has been fun, so I figured I'd try my hand at a three-panel comic of When The Man Lost His Eye, so here it is. (Labeled as graphic for the whole missing-eye business, though this sketch contains no gore.) #borderlands #borderlands3 #zaneflynt #fanart #digitalart #comic

A comic made up of three panels: the top two panels are created by a division roughly down the middle of the image, while the third is created by a horizontal line with a slightly upward angle.
In the first panel, we see a rough outline of a hand; it's raining, but there's another liquid dripping into the palm of the hand: blood.
In the second panel, we see Zane Flynt from his right side. Raindrops are running down his face. His right eye looks empty as he stares in disbelief.
In the third panel, we see him look up roughly to where the viewer is. His left eye appears to have suffered a wound of some kind, though whether this is a bullet or slashing wound is not clear. He is seething as he says to his attacker, in two thought bubbles (one up right of his face, and one down left): "Oh, boyo..." "You've up and done it now!"
