Preorders have officially opened for Defenders of the Decade! Which means, I finally get to show off the stunning cover drawn by im_resident✨

Check out the shop → here

There were many charities recommended on the interest check form, so, to narrow it down, the contributors took a vote. It was decided that the proceeds of this project will be donated to: Palestinian Children's Relief Fund A look at the bundle options below the cut↴

In the coming days and weeks, there will be posts showing off sneak peaks - both of the zine pieces themselves and individual merch items. For now, let me tell you a little more about our physical items:

The zine is A5 size. It will be soft cover with gold foil details

The acrylic keychain (single-sided) will be 2.5 inches tall with a silver star clasp

The art prints will be 5x7 inches, as will the sticker sheet (which features the animals of VLD)

The acrylic standee (single-sided) features the paladins out of their armor and in some more comfortable threads. It will be 4 inches tall and about 3.5 inches wide

The enamel pin reimagines the lions of Voltron as East Asian style tigers. It will be 2.5 inches with two posts in the back to make sure it doesn't slide around

The tote bag features several illustrations of space foods inspired by Sal's revamped restaurant in the space mall and classic pizza box designs. The design will be screen printed with red ink on a natural colored cotton tote

Since there are quarter and half page options for my Genshin speedrun zines, sometimes I must join the sprint to fill in the gaps. So here is a mature lady version of Zhongli I drew for The Second Star (which you can download for free here)

Sending a print to a friend across the sea, so I made a lil Allura to keep it company in the envelope :)

aaaa thank you! they're so fun to draw! i have tried several times over the past few days to draw something nice for you, and the ideas were either not working or the drawings themselves were just turning out bad. but! at last! something nice. i hope you enjoy :D

Re-uploading my pixie AU because when I first posted it, I accidentally deleted the original post while trying to delete an accidental reblog :/

General + design notes below

Trying to recall my initial notes. I think it was:

Designs are drawn by me, but I absolutely traced the character stock images for the poses bc I was not about to draw 8 full bodies from scratch in 2 days

I couldn't find a way to pop the wings in without them overlapping or looking kinda awkward. So I will include wing notes further down

Okie general note time:

I wanted to show the advancement of Alteans compared to the human characters, and since technology doesn't exist in the same way for this AU as it does in canon, I included fabric elements for Allura and Coran while the paladins have clothes from leaves and petals

Alteans have scaled wings like moths and butterflies. Galrans have transparent wings like dragonflies. Humans have single color wings, sometimes with a soft monochrome gradient

I can't think of anything else right now, but feel free to ask if you'd like to know more about this AU

[xochitai]

Hii! For the Voltron Oc ask game, I'd love to know 4, 13, 15, 28 for Ezor! Also I'm curious why her parents chose that name for her 👀👀✨✨

Hello! So firstly: this made me realize I have not drawn her in ages, thus I was inspired to draw a lil chibi

Second: Fair warning that this will get yappy. Partially because there are a lot of headcanons in her AU and partially because I like to talk about my organic home-grown blorbos. I will put the answers under the cut to spare my followers that are only here for the JamiKali lol

Okie answer time!

4: Pidge is a hacker, Lance is a sharpshooter; what are your character's special skills? What's their "thing?"

She is strong! In this AU, I play around with genetics. For Galrans, especially when mixed with non-Galra, gene expression tends to skip generations. So Ezor taking after grandpa Zarkon + Altean side = very strong lady. She is also a fast climber, but alas, there are no trees in space. (As a child, she often ended up in high places she was not supposed to be)

13: Who raised your character? What's their relationship like today?

She was raised by Lotor and the rest of the Sincline crew at first. It takes a while before Lotor feels comfortable enough letting her spend time on the Castle of Lions without him there, but eventually Allura and Coran are involved in her life as well. She gets along with her parents fine, but she's closest with her "aunties"

15: What does "home" mean to your character?

Ezor grew up in space, spending time between Galran Central Command and the Castle of lions. "Home" to her is not a place, but rather, wherever her family is

28: What is one thing you really want to tell us about your character?

She has scales like Lotor in this AU, but since she is only 1/4 Galran, they are soft, like a gecko

Bonus: How did she get her name?

Short version: Lotor lost a bet

Long version: The Sincline crew was experiencing one of the rare instances of things going well for more than a week. There came a battle they all thought would break the lucky streak, but against the odds, they ended up winning. They celebrate with some drinks and Lotor gets coaxed into letting loose. Silly games escalate to a serious (as serious as a bunch of drunk space cats and lizards can be) face-off between Ezor and Lotor. Loser has to grant any request of the winner. Ezor wins and for her prize tells Lotor he must name his first born after her. Lotor, with no plans of having children, goes with it. Fast forward many years and surprise! Lotor, does, in fact, have a baby. Except it's after he and Allura had their falling out and he's convinced she never wants to see him again. So, having no other ideas, he goes with what he promised and names his daughter after Ezor. (+ I was debating including this particular bit because it's slightly off topic, but I realize this sounds a little confusing without the context of my xenobio headcanons. So here goes: 1. Lotor gave birth to her 2. Alteans have many sexes. Think like how mushrooms have dozens to hundreds of sexes depending on the variety 3. Cold-blooded Galrans shift sexes 1-2 times a year, depending on where in the timeline we are. It's like a period; there's no control over it. Just a body thing that happens) (basically het mpreg but there are science reasons behind it - no magical booty birth here lol) (Why? I like to put this man in Situations)

Thank you for the ask! :D

I'd love to play!

The most developed of my VLD OCs are: Yorak (Krolia's adoptive dad - not alive by the time the show begins) and Ezor (Lotura baby - exists in an AU where Lotor left instead of fighting with Voltron and thus did not get quintessence poisoning or stuck in the rift)

my ig feed has been full of mlp redesigns, so here's my take on princess twilight :)

[xochitai]

Still attached to my pfp, but felt like it needed a little change after 5-ish years, so it has been updated :D (also return of human Lotor! I need to draw him more tbh)

[xochitai]

A pity she does not exist...

quick drawing based on a recent comment on one of my fics
