This is the first sketch/drawing I made when improvizing with my new tablet. She’s a Voltron Legendary Defender OC, and she’s part of “Voltron Legendary Defender: Eclipse of a Legend”, a comic/fanfict I’m trying to work on. She’s a member of a new league of pilots and a “representation” of a paladin. Yeah, the story has its own lore and concepts. I try to put more cultural backgrounds, religions and subplots complementing character development. I have some visual ideas I want to try, and of course, I guess the audience demography needs to be higher. I said before that I’m gonna make a character sheet for some characters in the future, so, yeah, that’s my plan! This girl comes from Dominican Republic and has had... some difficulties with her family at a social or personal level. I’m still working on her. The logo’s horrible, yeah, I’ll change that, please forgive my 32bits mini Dell Laptop, it doesn’t help me to use Photoshot, LOL.

Hiiii, it’s been a long time, right? Well, being in the digital art using mouse has created some obstacles. Now that I have a tablet, I wanted to show the first fanart. I’m practicing with some brushes and manga cover styles, as well as improving (kind of) in the VLD artstyle. I always wanted to see this comic princess in the VLD animated version, at least in fanarts. I love seeing fanarts and fanficts involving the character and I love her concept, It’s really cool to me! Of course, it’s time to put into action more characters fanarts, because I wanted to start already with the proyect with new characters, with the main characters and lots and lots of concepts I want to Illustrate. I’ll see if I do some character sheets and anime version designs, wait for more! Thank you for following me through here. Yeah, the logo is horrible, but I’ll create a new one soon. Sure.

I just finished reading UVLD S9 today and wow, it’s so good and you actually gave lance a character arc. Black paladin lance felt so good and so satisfying and Red Paladins was probably my favourite chapter. Also you write action so well and it managed to feel like voltron while also having your own style. You clearly understood all the characters and cared so much about them (also the posters are. So good)

Omg this shows how I never go on tumblr I just saw this now. Thank you so much for reading since it’s now so long since it’s been published. Im glad you enjoyed and hope it was a fun read

Woah! It's been a long time since I posted something coming from myself, isn't it? Well, the VLD show is over, but the fandom is still alive and creating ideas for a #postseason8 sort of thing, and I actually like this kind of content. Aaaand, because of that, I also love improving my skills to represent moments and characters too.

This drawing was, like, the first thing I drew from Princess Malocoti. I really, really fell in love with her design, is so amazing and cool! It definitely called my attention! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ However, the time passed and passed and I guess I kinda improved her design ideas.

Being she a character whose drawing consistency fades away sometimes, I've chosen personal design options that would fit more, always thinking about how would she look in VLD and a Post Season 8 with different animation. Why is it? Cuz as I read before from the fandom, DreamWorks doesn't have the license anymore, so, maybe to keep the consistency in character design, another Corean or Japanese Animation Studio, along with Studio Mir, was in my mind when I draw the VLD characters. I usually mix the character concept with more realistic facial expressions, with the preexisting designs made in VLD.

I started to practice more the facial concept I actually wanted for princess Malocoti. Even when this is not the sequencing order from one sketch to another, it actually represents how different from Princess Allura I wanted her to look.

https://www.deviantart.com/ceryanie/art/Pirncess-Malocoti-Voltron-Ascenders-Post-s8-853039095

As time passed, I wanted to "read" Malocoti's design from the top of the head to the tip of the feet. Having a curvy body as It was in the comics, which makes a difference in style and physical characteristics of VLD, sounded good to me; however, I guessed it needed to be adapted to fit more in the style that was present in the show.

So, I tried and tried to make the character more appealing while looking at the comic's physical appearance. A slender body, with big breasts and bigger hips than Allura, I could see (this is not me being a perv, I had to have specific observations, sorry for the description, though). Seen the previous Sketches, it was noticeable how I've exaggerated body features in order to comprehend, instead of analyzing more, but apart from it, this could be justified by saying I was developing her backstory at the moment too, so I focused on two things at the same time.

Now, I'm looking at it much better as my skills progressed a little bit too.

In terms of hair and body, I made them more remarkable to highlight a difference in terms of design from Allura. I tried to give her features according to the backstory I started to write for her. I thought "Well, she gotta have a convincing design and a backstory that can hold it". I have lots of things in mind for her story and Krellian culture, as well as a new name for her, since I actually want "Malocoti" to be kind of a last name.

However, what I'm talking about? What do I want when expressing a fan Fanfiction concept many of us don't know about? Well, please, allow me to explain the deal.

"Voltron: Eclipse of a Legend" or "VEoaL" (VEOAL), is a post season 8 fanfict that tries to find solutions to problems made in the Voltron: Legendary Defender, using most of the canon elements and writing structures to form new ones that can be explained, offering an enriched story with the proper character backstory that can justify the present actitudes and physically personal changes given to the characters. Enforces moral messages about "found family", "friendship" and "teamwork", as well as including ones that tend to be more developed and serious when it comes to the topics. Due to the main cast being all adults, the level of bloodshed, skin exposition, adult themes and swear words depending if it would fit the character's personality, can appear, adding more to it, these features only appear with a good justification to serve into the story.

Damages caused by Voltron in past seasons can be now affecting the present.

Broken relationships can be existing with the purpose of being "fixed".

Realistic responses, dialogues and reactions can be given.

New missions and new antagonists can be included with an actual role serving the story.

LGBT+ representation will be included with certain characters.

Minor characters like Curtis will have more depth.

Personal main cast backstory explaining their personality in VLD can be highly included.

The main purpose is to give more character dev and development, as well as including comic relief here and there.

A new menace is affecting realities around the universe and their different solar systems. With new oppositions against the Defender of the Universe for cracks they left behind, Coran warns to Lance, who is still struggling with a new identity left by her deceased girlfriend, Princess Allura. Meanwhile, Shiro's decease is increasing with not too much time left to him, breaking the heart of the ex Voltron pilots. Pidge, and a really exhausted Hunk, are on the way to find an explanation to the strange phenomenon with Coran and Romelle's help. Obstacles are in their way to hit them like never before; members with a broken relationship between themselves have to work together to find a possible way to bring Voltron back and save the universe once more. Resistance. When the past is calling them, is it okay to hear them, or just leave them behind?

Lots of stuff are coming through my mind and I actually need to do the fic. I had two attempts before, but I guess I now have a more stablished structure to begin with.

Talking about the progress I made with Malocoti's conceptual design, I looked more at her hair instead of the rest of the features I actually know. While drawing today, I found out that she has an already more detailed kind of hairstyle than just her hair pulled back.

The hair is way different in the two vignettes, however, I took the first one as a reference for her hair, along with a more detailed style in the front of it. The first one made clear her hair is wavy and has braids in the back. With some references for girly hairstyles and looking more reference for elf princesses, I could finally find a personal hairstyle that fits more with her and looks very similar to the one in the first vignette.

I also saw how I actually improved in the sketch and anatomy too, but, well, I'm still not so good with hands. I should practice them more apart.

I was going to draw her with clothes that actually cover her body, but anyway, I'd give you some more spoilers if I do that. This is one, but is not that complex or necessary. She's just dancing to please people as a plan, and later one she comes to fruition.

I actually hope you like this progress as much as I do, and tell me what you think about it. It's a very long post, but I guess it's worth it. Thank you for reading and supporting me!

Can we talk about how Honerva/Haggar basically desecrates the sacred land of Oriande by melting down statues to make weapons of war, kills the guardian, causes this land to be destroyed, suddenly sees the light after not being able to get her way but doesn’t apologize for her transgressions while her husband Zarkon had been forced to remember all the terrible things he did when corrupted…

And she doesn’t even get a slap on the hand before being reunited with her family, aka getting exactly what she wanted??

The lack of accountability in Voltron still bothers me and will always bother me.

Shiro’s Second Amputation

Shiro’s Second Amputation

The character design for Shiro includes him with a prosthetic arm. Interviews with executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery have revealed that the reason they initially gave Shiro a prosthetic arm was because they thought it looked “cool.” They seem to have put no thought into what it would mean to a person to have an amputation.

Shiro is captured by the Galra at the beginning of the show and then a little later in the first episode returns to Earth a year later, now with his arm amputated and a prosthetic made of Galra technology. The closest we ever get to any exploration of what it meant to Shiro to lose an arm is a very brief line of dialog at the beginning of 2x03 “Shiro’s Escape,” in which Shiro, in flashback, yells, “You took my hand, what more do you want?” We have no other information about his amputation. Was his arm injured during gladiatorial combat, making it a medical necessity to amputate? Haggar says to Shiro in 1x13 “The Black Paladin, “You could have been our greatest weapon,” so was his arm cut off as part of an experiment she was subjecting him to?

Ultimately, whatever the reason was for the amputation and addition of the Galra prosthetic, the show never tells us. But this is the amputation that everyone already knows about.

Shiro was subjected to a second amputation.

I absolutely love Pidge! 💚💚💚💚 She's just my favorite character of Voltron, buuut, I didn't recognize her birthday and now I feel bad for it, LOL. I decided to this sketch to relax and have some more examples for the comissions offerts, and I wanted to design her new armor of my fan sequel project "Voltron: Eclipse of a Leyend". Aaand, as I haven't seen much art of her adult version (which I entirely love 💚), I decided to draw it myself. Hope you like it!
