#VV/VLD au

[chibi-pix]

Well, a friend in discord shared a pic from Vehicle Voltro and I felt the need to redraw it with the updated designs for the blind twinverse au. So! Here are the ladies. Pissed. Never get on their bad side. I don't remember the context of this episode/scene, though. I think it had to do with Twyla and the boys fawning over her. Also! Here's the original screenshot!

Gotta love a classic scene. But also, gotta really love updated looks.

Ko-fi. Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy this one! Until next time!

I adore these precious kids. I need more of them, regardless of reality, in my life.

Just wanted to share this blessed shot with y’all

[dynared]

Actually, the creators of the reboot said during interviews that they aren't fans of Vehicle Voltron and just like Lion Voltron. I highly doubt they would be super on board doing a straight adaption of Vehicle Voltron. With that said, I do think some elements from it might come back in VLD in a "name only" kinda way. They did it already with the Garrisons and Throk, so they most likely bring back Commander Hawkins and possibly more villains from that series.

I think most people (in the US, apparently it was more successful in Eastern Europe) don’t like the actual series/set of episodes that was Vehicle Voltron so much as they like the concept. Because on paper the concept sounds awesome - Humans study this ancient mystical artifact and reverse-engineer it into a weapon they can use against alien invaders.

In execution the disconnect (because it was literally a different series, and was more sci-fi than science fantasy the way GoLion was) turned off a lot of people, not helped by the absolutely bloated to the point of hilarity cast.

I think Vehicle Voltron the concept has a chance to be used because the concept could easily expand the myth arc of the story. But in the few ideas I’ve seen used, Vehicle Voltron itself is either heavily, HEAVILY modified or the amount of pilots it has is paired down significantly to five or three.

(On a brief tangent, there are two Vehicle Voltron stories in Legendary Defender’s fanfic section on FF.net last I checked. And I wrote both of them! And yes, I heavily modified the concept as well, since the VV in those stories is less 15 piece combiner and is more or less Getter Robo. It’s such a fascinating story concept, far more so than the endless K!nce AU’s about the swim team or whatever high school nonsense the author thinks is more compelling than giant robots in space that I’m disappointed we haven’t seen it in fic. At all.)

If VV shows, I believe that it will be radically different from the original set of episodes, but that really depends what happens when, or even if the series has an arc on Earth. I want it to happen but I also don’t want it to be a 1:1 adaptation. It would seem the staff doesn’t either.

[chibi-pix]

Out of nowhere, I asked myself "What if Pidge in the mama au met with Vehicle Voltron members?" And I went with Zandee because he deserves more recognition. So! Here they are, even giving Zandee a casual outfit. And holding wee little Darrell. I love Zandee having a dummy stuck in his mouth to calm him down. He's a bit surprised by it, though.

Anyway! I hope y'all enjoy this one! Commissions are available over on my Ko-fi. Until next time!

[chibi-pix]

Time for a few new character revamps. Including a majour design change to Marvin. There are a couple of reasons behind Marvin's change. There's a screenshot of Marvin's character, but he was given Zandee's colours instead. Which is sad and amusing at the same time. The next reason was because while drawing Cliff, I was listening to Jacksepticeye play The Mortuary with the Game Grumps and hearing of Danny hiding in his helmet of hair, or hairarium as he put it as well, I just went "Marvin would do that at times if he had long enough hair". And thus. The long haired, Dan Avidan looking Marvin. And I am pleased. I also got the idea of giving Hutch some facial fuzz from @t1koy-roll.

As for Marvin pointing out that Ginger's gonna kill them, the idea for the au is that Marvin, Hutch, Rocky, Zandee, and Ginger are friends before becoming pilots of the vehicle force team. But that won't be seen in the blind twinverse au for some time yet.

Anyway! I hope y'all enjoy these ones! Until next time!

"Draw something with lots of water," I said. "It'll be fun,", I said. I'm reminded of why I hate working with water scenes. Yet here I am with this one. Anyway, the blind twinverse AU with the idea of the others meeting Krik and Cinda of planet Myra at some point, I have this. And here the Myran duo are helping Pidge through a palace with a lot of corridors and rooms you can only access through the water. She's blind. She can't swim due to childhood trauma. Pidge is really hating that planet.

Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy this one! Until next time!

[chibi-pix]

I was going through old pictures on my computer and I found screenshots of a post with DBZ Abridged quotes that @zipp0flare​ sent me years ago. And a quote just stood out. So, here we are.  Poor Shorty. He lost his LSD. Pidge isn’t doing much to comfort him, other than patting his back, but. Well.  RIP Shorty’s milk jug of LSD.  Press F to pay respects? But. Why did he have the LSD? Where did he get it? What made him drop it?

Oh.  That’s why he dropped it.  I think Chip shot near him and startled him.  Oof. 

Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy this one! I was pleased to work with these three as triplets again. It’s been a while. Until next time!

[chibi-pix]

Progress. We love to see it.

Okay, so as we may know, I've been working on VV members off and on, even redesigning some to suit a more modern take with a VLD AU. And I stumbled across this screenshot. And partway through, I was like "Didn't I do this one before?" And yes I did! So, we got that! But you know what? I love how this one turned out. And updating Rocky's design. He looks pretty neat! And I bet he would adopt Chip as his little brother.

Also! Here's the original shot from the 80s!

Vehicle Voltron my beloved. As great as you are, it is nice to see you in a new and brighter light, as you deserve.

Anyway! I hope y'all enjoy this one! I know I do! Commissions are open and available on my ko-fi. Until next time!

[chibi-pix]

I had an idea for my VV/VLD AU. Pidge and Bandor don’t start out on the right foot and are enemies for a bit. 

Anyway! I’ve been wanting to use this as a redraw for a VLD AU, this AU in particular. Original screenshot below.

As said, I’ve been wanting to do this redraw for a while. And at some point, even @breadstickcat​ had suggested it, thus getting me started on it. Well, I put it on the back burner and finally came back around to finishing it. And I’m pleased. 

Also, where’s Kosmo in this since he’s Pidge’s companion in this AU?

Found him!  He does not like Bandor threatening Pidge. 

Anyway! I hope y’all enjoy this one! Until next time. 

[chibi-pix]

I was in the mood to do screenshot redraws. And let’s face it, Ginger and Lisa just being together close? Perfection! Chef’s kiss!  Of course, drawing them, I felt it appropriate to go with my redesign for my VV/VLD AU. 

Anyway! I hope y’all enjoy! I’ll put the refs in the cut below.  Until next time!

Here are the refs! Goodness, I just love the ladies of Vehicle Voltron. Sadly no Cinda this time, but maybe another time. 

[chibi-pix]

Others in discord: Hey, look at this screenshot! Me: Oh look, inspiration!

Yeah, so I ended up needing to redraw this screenshot, but with my VV/VLD AU designs/uniforms. Just look at the lads! And little Chip! Baby, you're so smol! It's adorable!

Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy. Until next time!

Pidge is back in the castle where she can recover, but there are worries that some things she may never recover from. Her recovery, though, will take time.

[chibi-pix]

Pidge crash lands on some planet and is unable to use technology to figure out how far she went and to communicate with others. As she investigates the old fashioned way, she comes to find some unexpected discoveries.

[chibi-pix]

Pidge was sent off to someplace unknown. With the news given, the teams get back together, hoping to find a way to track their missing friend.

[chibi-pix]

The team explores the old Altean ship, hoping to find answers. However, some answers come in a form least expected. And faces definitely not expected.
