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.

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.

I Am A Bean! (Also There's Voltron Art)

Once upon a time I had an original character whom I used to depict myself. But over the last few years I've outgrown her, I guess. The need to draw myself as a character with a story just doesn't exist anymore, and I didn't have an actual caricature of myself to draw just for fun and silliness.

And then a friend called me a bean (out of endearment) and I had to make the Liz-Bean a reality. So here she is. She's fun and simple to draw, which makes for a great way to loosen up while I'm drawing.

July 28th was Lance's birthday, so as is now customary I drew him with his Lion, Blue. Looks like he's feeling a bit homesick though, poor thing.

A couple friends of mine really enjoy the concept as Shiro as a strong, tough woman, so I indulged them by trying to conceptualize that. We're all pleased with the result. She looks adorable but strong, I think.

Lastly a quick Lance drawing inspired by the lid on my microwave soup cup... because it's something he'd wear. For optimal flirting. With that shirt and finger guns he can't lose.

Titles Are Over-Rated, Right?

Ah yes now I remember one reason that running a blog was a hassle. Titles are a great weakness of mine. I draw, I write, I create, but I cannot for the life of me title things well. Almost every story I have in my mind that I want to tell has absolutely nothing resembling even a working title.

But I think you're all entitled (thank you) to some actual artwork. So here's a few miscellaneous things I did over the past year. Very few, actually, because most things were based on one of two fandoms. These kinda fell in between.

This first batch is some computer game characters re-imagined. More specifically they're (some of) the characters from the hit indie game Five Nights at Freddy's. Pictured are Bonnie, Chica, and Freddy Fazbear. I did not get around to Foxy but he was just going to be a huge fox beast of some sort. Maybe eventually... But if it makes him feel any better only Bonnie got the color treatment.

The other is also related to animals but actually as animals. A friend of mine really loves Zootopia, so I drew him the main characters for his birthday. He was thrilled and I'm pleased with how they turned out. I haven't drawn many animal characters in the last few years so I've fallen out of practice.

Even though it's been over seven months since the above drawing, I am trying to get back into drawing cartoon animals. We'll see how that goes.

And I'll see you all next entry!
