'90s Voltron is a mess so I have to draw it

[Inktober Day 5: Chicken]

One of my favorite scenes from Voltron: The Third Dimension (1998). Basically, Keith is on an important reconnaissance mission (re: space pirates) and Lance decides to stow away on his ship. Gayness ensues.

This is just part one, I might add on to it later!

Actual ‘90s Voltron Quotes

Ground control: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Lance: Thought I’d give the fans a little encore. How ‘bout a hyperdrive demo?

Ground control: No, Lance. It’ll lose control!

Retro Voltron Crack

In the interest of staying organized, from now on I’ll be posting most of my ‘80s and ‘90s Voltron content in a separate blog, Retro Voltron Crack. Meanwhile, my main blog will be focused on my webcomic, original artwork, fan art, and more fun stuff. So, follow my new blog if you want to keep seeing high-quality retro Voltron crack in your feed!

Thanks! >.<

‘90s Voltron Paladins

Remember Voltron: The Third Dimension (1998)? Man, that show could’ve been so dope, but the character designs were whack.

Sooo I’m proposing a long-overdue character redesign! Here are the five paladins looking fly in ‘90s grunge fashion (hey, they can’t wear their paladin armor all the time!).

Let me tell you about Voltron: The Third Dimension.

You probably haven’t heard of it.

V3D is a show that should not exist. Even after watching several episodes, it seems more fever dream than reality. But twenty years ago, in 1998, this beautiful monstrosity was thrust upon the world. Consider the following points:

A ‘90s CG animation hellscape

Characters that look like they went through a nuclear reactor

The aesthetic is kinda ‘90s grunge + space

Also their helmets are shaped like actual lion heads??

Lance making chicken noises for some reason

“shpACE PIRATES?!”

Oh my god the doom ships 

The doom ships are f**king nightmare fuel

CDs. Email. Clunky ‘90s computers. It must be the FUTURE.

“Will you sign my Voltron j-peg?”

And there’s more ...

“moonstone, ionized topaz, pure quartz, and condENsed LAzoN”

The Galaxy Garrison is headed by a neurotic micromanaging robot

Prince Lotor is a pervy cyborg voiced by Tim Curry 

Keith and Lance flirt constantly...

Keith: Lance! You’re not allowed on this ship. Do you know how much trouble I could get in?

Lance: Trouble? (laughs) You used to like trouble, Keith!

...and are basically a married couple.

Keith: Lance? I know you can hear me. This is no joke, Lance -- TURN THAT LION AROUND!

Lance: Sorry, Keith, but me and my kitty cat have a date with destiny.

DON’T watch this show. You have been warned.
