Voltron Lion Concepts Part 1/?: The Black and Red Lions

Are these accurate to the mecha genre? No. Would they realistically be able to form Voltron without some bullshit? Absolutely not. Am I happy with these concepts though? Yeah :]c

It's not exactly a VLD AU, as I am watching the old shows as well to gather some ideas- but I think it would be fun to design a hypothetical Voltron and the story it would follow. Whether or not I actually do this is undecided, idk I'm just messing around like usual.

Day 7: Black Lion/Past @vldtenyearanniversaryfest

I struggled a bit with this one because I didn't know what to do with the lion but then I remembered the astral plane Shiro got stuck in and the problem kinda fixed itself! (Though I hope it's not too similar to Keiths...) I don't hate it, but I also didn't do anything special with it either (kinda wished I fit Shiro/Keith's bike into the picture now oh well :[)

I wanted the lion prompts to all match hence the same composition for all of them! But I feel I'm running out of steam, and I don't want to miss a day I don't think I can do full illustrations with backgrounds all the time unfortunately (esp since I need the practice with backgrounds) But doing all the prompts is better than potentially missing a day and falling behind!

the black lion if it was uhhhhh the embodiment of those kitschy galxy print leggings i guess

Voltron: Legendary Defender S01E08 - Rebirth

i know everyone's like 'keith this' 'lance that' shush.. open ur eyes people. allura is the perfect fit for the black lion.

i absolutely hated the lion switch (we all do) but if they had to make someone take shiro's 'place' it shouldve been allura. who does the team look for when shiro as their 'designated leader' isn't there? allura.

'oh but keith being the black paladin is what shiro wanted bla bla' who gives a FUCK about what shiro wants (no offense). shiro wanted adam to live but did he..? no. exactly. let me cook.

and then i saw this one comment that said 'allura would've been too brash in her actions. she would've pursued after her own desires without thinking about the team!!' isnt that what keith did tho.. (no offense again) like just say you hate her and move on.
