I've been doing all these doodles for my Voltron AUs where I apparently feel the need to physically alter Lance and I just wanted bookmarks with these in specific so here we are. It was fun designing human!Allura's outfit. I was at a bit of a loss as to how to dress her but then it came to me to dress her in a turtleneck sweater and bell bottoms. The shoes were harder to land on but dumping the original idea of platforms was a good decision, even if it means cutting out a joke where she and Keith switch shoes and leave poor little Altean!Lance so confused as to how Keith grew like five inches overnight and Allura shrank. Designing Altean!Lance's outfit also brought challenges. I decided to just use Allura and Coran as references so obviously I copied the bodice section of Allura's royal gown but what to do with his waist did throw me for a loop. Took a good long while before I settled on a design for the dividing of legs from body and then when I was lining for the bookmark, I ended up changing it again 😂 I think it's safe to say that this is the final design. Fem!Pike's design was figured out early this year I think and all that gave me trouble was how to do her hair. I have a file saved with the first attempt at that and it was terrible. The trick here was to evoke Catra's mane. I do have a bone to pick with whoever decided to use more than fifteen colors in a design for a cartoon character. Yeah, you heard me right. In fact, I didn't count and I really should have, but I think there are 20 colors in Pike's palette. Ten are in the head region alone, and I am counting the little details like the scar over the eye. It's terribly complicated. I am considering offering these for sale but I'd like to see some interest first so I'll hold off on that. Should I put these designs up on Redbubble and Society6? Hmm, I don't know. As much as I need the dough (no pun intended even though I do like puns) I don't want to rush into anything and then be disappointed. Well, hope to return later this week with more doodles so until then, toodles.
Hello. I started a post last week for the doodle below but I was hoping to be able to post a new video to YouTube so I delayed posting it till now:
Hey, more OCs. It was hard to do this seasonal chibis redraw only because my laptop made it. I like how it came out this year, I actually drew Mike and Sandra in the same style as the other seasonal chibis which was honestly my biggest goal for this. If you haven't noticed, I'm keeping Sandra in berets, they're just her. This means that I can move onto the other seasonal chibi I have planned for this winter, which is good. Then I have to figure out what to do with myself again. Hoo boy. And I edited a new speedpaint for my seasonal chibis. Yay. (I do realize I am posting a drawing of a couple on Valentine's Day but the drawing was done way before so ignore that fact.)
Hey, if you could please check out my Redbubble and Society6 shops, that would be great. I'd like to keep being able to pay for my car insurance and the gas I spend instead of getting it out of my baby sister who is the only one working now. Lucky. I got an interview but then they didn't hire me. Oh well, it was a drive away from home and the store opens at 6 in the morning so it wasn't ideal. Well, hope you're enjoying your weekends and till next doodle, toodles.
Hello. I started another post earlier but I wanted to post something else in said post that I am not finished with so Voltron doodles to the rescue until I can finish that:
I have another doodle that could have been added here too but I don't feel like it so next time. I doodled both those Lanas while on break this Monday (my MOS class... which I passed, yay me) and Keith was an idea I had and sketched Tuesday. Lana has curly hair naturally (I have a slight pet peeve with the whole idea that only the McClain have curly hair plus how older Lance's hair is, because it sucks) but she learned how to straighten it while at the Garrison... and liked it. And Keith was me thinking he'd be the kind to roam around the house in his socks and when he's dragged out of the house to run errands with his SO, he just throws flip flops not giving a damn because he's tired and just wants to chill. I have a busy day tomorrow so I doubt I will post what I was going to tomorrow but you never know. Well, till next doodle, toodles. Enjoy your weekend.
Hello. I forgot to post this draft yesterday. Oops. I posted another video which you can watch underneath (hopefully. The music I used gave me copyright issues and won't be viewable everywhere. I haven't checked what countries it is blocked in):
And I made some doodles during the week. They're all Voltron related but c'est la vie.
Most of them are technically Lance. Keith is still my absolute favorite, don't worry. In fact, I don't know how to think of Lance without inserting Keith somewhere in there... Oh God no, I am not inserting Keith in Lance, people. *swats away your dirty thoughts* Back to what I was saying, I doodled my alternate Lances: Altean!Lance and fem!Lance (Lana). Wait, I actually drew Lotor earlier in the week but I put him last because Lance is baby. Lotor is not. For some unknown reason, I actually drew Altean!Lance tiny. Maybe I was thinking too much about his backstory when I doodled this *shrugs*. My friend says I drew Lana bigger because she's the top. As funny a thought as that is, how do you top yourself? I just drew these guys while on breaks from the class I've been taking to get certified in Microsoft Office 2016 because I was bored and I had paper on me that I probably should have not drawn on but I got 2 out of the 3 certifications I need so I figure I can get away with it now. Better I put the paper to use than just throw it out, right?
Oh yeah, so I have been taking a free class to get certified in Office 2016 so I can get hired in better jobs than retail and make my resume look all fancy. And today I went and saw Hamilton! Yeah, I'm broke but I bought the ticket out of impulse back in November when I heard that they were coming to my town and I still had a considerable amount of moolah. It was wonderful. I went completely alone which made me nervous (tickets don't come cheap, people. I bought one of the cheapest ones. My mom said I sat in the nosebleeds but I didn't mind, I quite liked my perch) but once the music started, I forgot all about that. Then I was just nervous that my parking meter didn't run out but my parents took care of that for me. As someone who has been listening to the original cast soundtrack for four years already, it was nice finally seeing the choreography and acting. Maybe someday my sisters will see the show too. Maybe someday I'll actually see Lin Manuel Miranda, who knows. But for now, pretty happy that I finally saw Hamilton live. Hope you guys are also enjoying your weekends, and till next doodle, toodles!
Hello! You can tell I'm back to having no job and I still have "new year" energy because I am back with another doodle:
It's Hunk! He's such a sweetheart, I do love him even if Keith stole my heart from day one. Speaking of Keith, he and Hunk could have totally been developed into best buds. They could have done a lot of things with this show that would have made the last two season better but they didn't so let's not talk about that. I wonder if I can complete at least one other doodle this week before Saturday with my busy schedule this week. I may not have a job but I'm still doing stuff. Well, till next doodle, toodles.
Hello. So I thought I might post another doodle today, and even though I have just finished another comic (no OCs this time), I'm sharing news that I'm back to posting videos on my YouTube:
I probably won't have much time for doodling next week but I hope to have done another Voltron chibi/video by this time so here's hoping. I started a bunch of doodles this week but I have only finished two and both happen to have been ideas I got the day of creation 😅 Well, hope you enjoy your weekend and, till next doodle, toodles.
Hello! I was hoping to have a doodle or drawing done for today but I didn't think that I'd be posting what I started today and not any of the stuff I started on Monday or Tuesday but eh, c'est la vie.
A chibi OC comic where I used Western comic style format. It got really cold here today in sunny Florida and I had to commemorate it with drawing a bundled up character. With my whole being obsessed with Voltron recently, I originally wanted to draw Lance (or Lana) being all bundled up and hating the cold and Keith being unfazed but then I remembered my OCs, some of them that would not be as affected by a sudden temp drop (Mike hailing from Chicago, Aidan being a literal body-warmer) so I rolled with this concept of certain characters not staying in their proper places and Mike, the oldest of my main OCs, being all "close the door, you're letting the cold air in." He's just a tired millennial that struggles at adulting and nobody is helping his case here. For the record, in my house we blame Elsa for all sudden chills since 2014 so it was only natural to add Hans in. And I am so inconsistent when it comes to how I draw chibis that there are three styles all within this comic. I do like this idea though, it was a fun draw, and I like how I drew a couple of characters looking like absolute babies. I mean just look at the little guy taking advantage of Aidan's unnaturally warm body. A baby. Just look at that tiny Keith in the last panel. A baby. So hey, I managed to draw some OC content within the first month of 2020. Reminds me that I gotta do a winter chibi drawing (two actually, because I will redraw Mike and Sandra's, I wasn't happy with last year's) but I have a bunch of speedpaints I gotta roll out so I can make room on my hard drive for more recordings for more speedpaints. I wasn't finished with my Voltron chibis either so ehehehe, I have my work cut out for me. At least I started the editing process for one video so I should finish it this week so I can move along with my YouTube, even if I won't really be able to make money off of it because of the whole child-friendly issue. Well, will I come back on Friday? We'll see. Till next doodle, toodles.
