More Inktober 2018

Just some more prompts from last October. Not much to say here. They're all Voltorn art.

Some Elements

Back in October some of the Inktober prompts I filled were inspired by Voltron characters and the respective elements they all represent. Sadly I never got around to all five.

Shiro: Sky/space/stars (Colored with Paint Tool SAI)

Lance: Water (Pencil, pen, Prismacolor pencils)

Keith: Fire (Pencil, pen, Prismacolor pencils)

Hunk: Earht/Rock (Pencil, Paint Tool SAI)

I'm pretty happy with all of these but especially Hunk.

Fat Cats and Bob Ross

Drew a page of chubby kitties for the prompt "Whale" last October.

And some more Bob Ross follow-alongs in Paint Tool SAI.

The Not-Fanart Entry

Like the title says.

First is a digital paint that I did following a Bob Ross video. I did a couple after it that turned out more polished but this one's not bad. 

During Inktober 2018 I filled the prompt "Roast" by drawing Kermit, a dog who belongs to the famous YouTuber Jenna Marbles. He's a walking anxiety-ridden disaster and I can relate some days.

Another one from Inktober. I think the prompt was "Drool" and a happy, slobbery dragon was relaxing and easy to draw.

I do plan on sharing the rest of my Bob Ross digital art, possibly one at a time with other art.

Summer 2018

Just some Voltron fan art.

For Lance's birthday, July 28 2018.

Kolivan reminds me a lot of Erwin Smith from Attack on Titan, so I figured he'd look great in Erwin's clothes.

I came up with my own Galra character like many other Voltron fans have. His name is Styx.

And Again

I know, it's been months. The problem isn't remember do draw. I do that all the time, but trying to think of what to say in a blog where I post the art is the challenge. I don't want to prattle on about the piece, I just want to post it and be done.

So, in order to keep posting but prevent the intimidation factor, I'll just drop in some drawings once in a while with minimal comment and if anyone wants to know more about a piece, they are free to leave a comment and I will answer.

So here's some Voltron: Legendary Defender fan art, starting from back in May 2018



Shiro as a koi merman for Mermay 2018

Allura and Shiro looking as 80s as possible.

Shiro with his new, all white hair after the end of season 6.

Some Colored Art I Guess

April 3rd was when the Voltron social media celebrated Pidge's birthday so of course I contributed.

Gift for a friend of some Japanese fantasy-esque Shiro surrounded by camellias. I actually don't like it that much any more but I am still proud of those flowers.

(Belated) The Start of 2018

This has been sitting in my drafts for over a month because first I couldn't think of anything to say and then I completely forgot about it, as often happens. My bad.

Voltron's official social media has given Hunk's birthday as January 13th, so I drew this for the occasion. Yeah, it was that long ago.

A little Allura and Shiro (Voltron) from a whie back that was mostly for coloring and fabric practice.

Shiro's birthday has been official listed as February 29th by the official Voltron social media accounts, but this year it was celebrated the beginning of March. Of course I had to draw my favorite character having a much deserved nap with his lion.

So this ended up being all Voltron but at least they're all in color. I'll try to update quicker next time...

In Living Color - The End of 2017

At long last, the last of the art from 2017 that I will be sharing. I'm sure that if I'd remembered to update more than once a month (or two...) we would have reached this point sooner. But let's wrap this up so we can move on to drawings from 2018.

The middle of November there was a Voltron fan-run even dedicated to my favorite character, Shiro. I didn't do a piece for all seven days, but here's a couple that I did. I had fun with the dramatic lighting that I added digitally.

They're both highly symbolic but unless you've seen the show they would take an essay or two to explain.

Towards the end of December I went to see Thor: Ragnarok on one of my days off. It was a week day so I had the entire theater to myself and had a great time not only because of that but because I love Thor and this is a great movie.

I enjoyed it enough to be inspired to do my first ever Thor fanart, despite loving him in the movies for years. 

Whenever I next remember to update, I'll finally be posting drawings from the beginning of 2018! The year that I decided to try drawing more dynamic poses and less head/shoulders like Thor up there.

Darker Things

A few more of the things I managed to do for my personal "Inkvember". I feel like these have a good variety to them.


"Lost" - Sharpie and ballpoint pen

"Hidden" - Hanji Zoe from Attack on Titan

"Rock" - Hunk and Shiro, Voltron: Legendary Defender

Next time I actually remember to update will be what I did after I stopped the Inkvember prompts. We're inching closer to the end of 2017's art!

After Inktober

This has been sitting as a draft on my blog for one month. Oops.

Anyway, after my trip last October, I wanted to do some drawing prompts again to keep my skills sharp. I found prompts from 2016 Inktober and went with those does few days.

Day 1: "fast" (asleep) - Lance, Voltron

Day 2: Noisy - Hanji, Attack on Titan

Day 3: Collection - Young Alfor and Coran, Voltron

Day 4: Hungry - Shiro and Allura, Voltron

Yeah that turned self indulgent end but I'm not sorry.

Hopefully it won't be as long between updates this time.

The Last of Inktober (Finally)

So exactly one month later I'm remembering to post the rest of what I drew in October. It wasn't a lot but I did spend the last week of the month on a trip and chose not to sweat over making any art happen.

Inktober Day 10: "Gigantic" (not fanart, just something cute)

Inktober Day 9 was Screech but I did Day 21's "Furious" instead. Poor Keith

Inktober Day 11: Shatter: Shiro from Voltron and heavy symbolism

Inktober Day 14: Fierce: Pidge from Voltron because she is that

More Inktober - Violence Warning for Last Image

NOTE: The final image is going to be at the bottom with a large amount of space between it and the others. This will make it easy to avoid.

So I was mistaken and I only filled twelve Inktober prompts, but that's okay. I had fun and they were great practice. Again, mostly Voltron fanart with a single Attack on Titan piece. 

As last time I'll just give the prompt and a short explanation.

005 Long: As in "long day"

007 Shy: A little baby Galra Keith hiding behind Kolivan

008 Crooked: A good excuse to draw Hanji with a crooked grin

The last pic will be down below this. Next time will be the rest of the Inktober fills.

006 Sword: Based on events revealed in season 3 of Voltron

A Little Inktober

I did say last time that I'd post the fruit of my Inktober labors, so here's the first few. All but one of the things I drew last month are fanart but I'm totally okay with that. But I do feel like I sometimes over-explain drawings so I'll just give the prompts and a short sentence with each drawing.

#1 Swift: Makes me thing of water moving swiftly.

 #2 Shattered: Some phantom limb pains going on here

 #3 Poison

#4 Underwater: Hanji from Attack on Titan as an octopus mermaid

I only filled thirteen prompts, but I stopped because I was about to go on vacation and I wanted this to be fun and not stressful anyway.

More to come soon!

Nothing Inktober Yet

I mentioned in the last entry that I would be participating in Inktober this year, and so far I have been. Honestly I'm impressed that I've managed to fill a prompt every day so far. But before I start posting those drawings, I want to put up the ones I finished before this started.


First up, an adorable couple from Voltron: Legendary Defender. I spent a Saturday working on this sketch of Hunk (the human) and his rock alien girlfriend, Shay. They have such an adorable relationship that I just had to draw them at some point. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. Especially because it turns out they're both super fun to draw.
                    

This one I just did for some digital art practice and to pull myself out of an art funk. Eren from Attack on Titan. It's a... grim show for those who didn't know. Though for context's sake, he was saving a kidnapped girl. ...Let's move on.

Lastly, another fun Voltron art of Shiro and Pidg wearing these lion backpacks. The space mall background is a screenshot from the show because I am not that ambitious.

Next time there will be some Inktober sketches, though I'm not sure when that will be. Season four of Voltron drops on Netflix this Friday and I may be an emotional wreck.

Violet Sunrise

This is the most work that I have put into a drawing in a very long time. Months at least. It's also the most time I've spent on a Voltron drawing so far. For now I'm still very proud of it, so I'm presenting it in a blog entry all by itself.

The idea behind it is that Allura is kissing Shiro awake, like a brave princess waking her knight.

With this, I am almost caught up posting the drawings I have saved on my computer. However, I'm also going to be attempting to do Inktober, so that should help boost me along. Or at least, attempting until my trip on the 21st.

See you next time!
