I'm not dead but the holidays killed my muse and the woman I confessed liking was not reciprocative. :( Maybe I'll go back to dating men...

In any case here's a quick sketch. I used a soap opera image for reference. I've always been intrigued by the idea of the struggles Lotor must have faced going through something like basic training with all the other galra. Dayak made it clear he was low on the totem pole when it came to physicality so my guess is he was often impressed upon, physically (when he couldn't silver tongue out of it anyways). Kinda interesting when you couple in the duress he endured during his 'home life' and it's no wonder he was a psycho.

Also Lotor was only young once so of course he was rocking the soul patch. He's got Altean blood so I'm assuming he can grow facial hair but my theory is it takes a LONG time to grow unfortunately.
