I’ve watched like 3.72 DoTU episodes but the aesthetic is strong.

DOTU Lotura pillow fight for @crystal-rebellion.

About 15 seconds later, Lotor deeply regretted his life choices

Ahhh, there’s more!! ...Must... resist... urge... to collect...

Inspired by @dotu-lotura‘s S.S. Eggplant art, to post this scan of the inside cover for the Golion 7″ EP.

As I mentioned in my post of the art for the EP’s front cover, I bought this for the off-color Sincline, and the inside has more of the same. The pose for him on both sides is great too. It’s also interesting that they got his eye sclera color wrong (it’s white instead of yellow). (click-thru to my blog to see this image larger and higher quality)

I also really like the pose for Sadak (DotU Yurak, VLD Sendak), and the composition of the heroes. This is also one of the few printed pieces that has a great image of Golion/Voltron in action that isn’t interrupted by other illustration or physical production (spines, folds, creases, staples, etc).

I end up buying a lot of old anime EPs and LPs because there aren’t many that have art books. So that leaves album covers, children’s terebi (テレビ) books, and mini-cards as some of the few printed objects with either scenes from the show—or as in the case of this EP cover—original art.

Some of these shows (not Golion) ended up with VHS and Laserdisc releases that have amazing art as well (e.g. Combattler V), resisting the urge to collect Japanese Laserdiscs from the 80s and 90s for the artwork is really damn hard y’all.

While I am a UX Designer/and UI Front End developer, my background is in the Fine Arts (printmaking and traditional graphic design), so my personal art is nearly always based on found-imagery:

So if you look closely at my Tumblr blog header, you’ll see Voltron/Golion knocked out in black. That came from the color image of Golion in this same cover scan.

THANK YOU @nomadicism  - I was hunting so far and wide for a proper sourcing on where the image came from!  I’m glad you chimed in with it!!   (But seriously... it kind of looks like a fishing pole... lmao)

“My dear, you’re going to frighten away all the fish.”

“Would you rather I move?”

“Gods, no.”

Every once in a while, I do something completely random and it makes me feel Valid.  This is brought to you courtesy a crack-fueled rollercoaster discussion about why Lotor was drawn in yellow for (I believe) some album cover, which spiraled into a discussion about how it reminded me of the yellow waterproof fishing overalls, complimented by what I presume to be a saber but looks oddly like a fishing pole.

So, I did a thing.

Here’s the scene it comes from.  Hunk goes on vacation and just... leaves his lion unlocked??

We interrupt your regularly scheduled browsing to bring you Cossack The Terrible, looking exceedingly pleased with himself as he sits in Yellow Lion.

That is all.

So... I decided there needed to be a compilation of all of Lotor’s ‘what’ moments from DotU.   I’ve begun the task.  Here’s an eight-second teaser of this project.

(Final project will be smoother, normalized audio, etc.)

Despite having such grace and poise, he still managed to trip over a rock when he was worried about his princess injuring herself.

My work here is done.

Or if you prefer the loop:

“My love’s stronger than your power!”

Please take a moment to enjoy this Soft!Lotor this morning.

(And appreciate the vast number of war crimes against his own father he just committed in the span of just a few minutes to protect Allura.  And he doesn’t even care as long as she’s safe.)

Let’s burn this place down

I hereby christen this dumpster of a sideblog with the mood of Sitlura -

And other miscellaneous DotU-related things.

You can pretty much add any subtext you want here and it’s still beautiful and sassy-looking.  “I really don’t give a fuck what you think, Father.”

My second-favorite duo in this show.

He tried...

He even brought her flowers.  Flowers she would like - not Drule/Doom flowers.

Yeet.
