Don’t ask for answers you won’t understand.

-know what I’ve made by the marks on my hands, @simkjrs on tumblr

A looong time ago @argonoranges and I were discussing Avengers-Voltron AUs and I was agonizing over whether to cast Pidge as Pepper Potts or Iron Man. And then I decided to cast them as both. Because genderfluid Pidge shall always be my headcanon.

I suppose the story behind it is that Pidge created Iron Man for their brother. Matt flew as Iron Man for three months, but never revealed his identity. When he went missing, Pidge took over, determined to find him. Years later, everyone knows that Pidge Gunderson is Iron Man, and that Katie Holt is the new CEO of Holt Industries. No one realizes that they are the same person.

And I just realized that I was writing this like it was being read by the narrator on Forensic Files. Can tell what I've been watching.

This was just gonna be practice, but after I looked up and realized that it was 2:30AM and I had spent the last indeterminable bit of time painstakingly drawing pearls that are barely even visible, I figured I’d post it.

It turned into a barely thought-out fantasy AU where Victor is the prince of ice/winter and Yuuri is the prince of fire/summer and I dunno there's probably some tragic love story or whatever.

But yeah. Count the pearls. They’re barely visibleeeeee. And they were half the reason I started this. I wanted to practice pearls.

Yeah.

Keith. It’ll work.

@argonoranges and I got to talking about a Voltron Star Wars AU and, well.

As for the background… at first, I tried, but then… well. Screen grab it is.

(I’ve got the whole damn cast laid out in my head. Kiiiinda wanna draw em all.)

[argonoranges]

@unsubtlemachinations you mean Star Trek But looks great babe

[unsubtlemachinations]

Ah, thank you dear. Battling with Tumblr is not great for my proofreading skills.

Have a Hinata. He's got a butterfly.

[unsubtlemachinations]

Decided to post this, because I like how it came out. Found some horrifically in-character performance fabric at JoAnn’s and told @argonoranges that I was going to make them a Yurio performance cosplay with that fabric. Essentially, this is the concept art. Shading’s pretty lazy, I must admit.

So, yeah. Here.

[unsubtlemachinations]

My dear friend @goldflecksinblue’s D&D character, Xabyl. Was debating posting this, but basically just decided to because I might as well. Oh, and so they actually have it in some way, even though it’s digital.

Why is he in lacy undies? Uh. They were drawing Xabyl’s significant other in underwear and.

[unsubtlemachinations]

Gotta admit, I’m… actually super proud of this one. This might be my favorite art I’ve ever produced.

But yeah. DaiSuga post-series. College boys. Suga is still wearing his Karasuno shit because he’s not doing school athletic stuff anymore, but Daichi’s still involved in a vague, not-specified kind of way, so he’s not in his.

[unsubtlemachinations]

Figure Skater!Keith is a go. For realsies this time. (This is like my fourth time- fifth time?- posting some version of this, but I’m not allowed to take it down this time. I mean it.)

I like this version much better.

Still gonna make the others in this AU, probably. Lance, Hunk, and Pidge are all skaters, Shiro is their (retired world class figure skater) coach, Allura is their hardass ballet teacher, and Coran is everyone’s uncle, somehow.

[unsubtlemachinations]

Tryina combine two art styles is hard y'all. Have a littlea Hinata Shōyō as the last airbender. I'm probably gonna end up getting around to some of the others in the Avatar universe too.
