Just another dragon hoarding pretty things. Artist, wanna-be actor, musician, writer of fics. Chaotic mess of art and politics.

Inspired by Thelwell, my pony windchime. I used to pride myself in cutting by hand (plasma), with a CNC I'm getting a result which is literally exactly what's in my sketchbook. Day 14 #ArtAdventCalendar #metalart #steelart #ponies #normanthelwell #horseart #gardenart #windchime
"Windchime." Or maybe "mobile"? LOL. Three Norman Thelwell-style ponies. Constructed from 16-guage flat steel. Cut with a plasma torch; finished with rust finish and silver, rub-on paint. Strung together with bailing wire, accented with stone and metal beads and a tin bell.

I take terrible photos of my work. Anyhow, here's Patience the Vulture, waiting for her next meal to shuffle off the mortal coil. An older design that I need to revisit and update. Day 13 #ArtAdventCalendar #metalart #steelart #sculpture #vulture #bird
"Patience the Vulture." Metal sculpture. A metal vulture made from multiple pieces of flat steel, cut with a plasma torch and welded together, stands before a backdrop of summer wildflowers. Finished in a rust finish.

An oldy because still working on new stuff. "The Gift." Lance's goofy, holiday version of a marriage proposal to Pidge. Day 12 #ArtAdventCalendar #fanart #voltron #vld #pidge #pidgeholt #katieholt #lance #krita
Katie "Pidge" Holt and Lance from Voltron: Legendary Defender. Fanart. Lance, presents himself to an amused Pidge as a Christmas gift, his silly version of a marriage proposal. He sits beneath a Christmas tree which is decorated with Voltron Lions and owls (Pidge's fave animal). Christmas lights, a photo of team Voltron and Playa Varadero on the wall.

My two favorite people, post-canon, adults now but still very silly. More experiments with a painterly style. Day 11 #ArtAdventCalendar #plance #pidge #pidgeholt #katieholt #lance #vld #voltron #krita
Voltron Legendary Defender's Katie "Pidge" Holt and Lance. Fanart of grownup versions of the characters. Pidge leans back against Lance, her arms up and reaching to hang onto his neck, her eyes closed with laughter. Lance leans forward, into her and into the camera and grins broadly at the viewer.

A redraw of an old drawing of mine. Inspired by the question: "What if Frodo had turned into an itty-bitty Ring Wraith?" In the style of Norman Thelwell. Day 10 #ArtAdventCalender #cartoon #lordoftherings #fanart #frodo #nazgul #pony #krita
Hobbit Nazgul with apologies to Norman Thelwell. Thelwell is known for his cartoon illustrations of little girls on their fat ponies, w/said ponies often running away with their young riders, the girls flying high above the saddle, clinging by the reins. In this cartoon, a Nazgul-hobbit is swapped for the usual girl, his face grim as his battle pony charges forward.

"Be the Change You Want to See in the World." Found on my hard-drive, an early digital artwork. Probably more than a decade old, but has a funny sort of charm. Day 9. #ArtAdventCalendar #dragon #knight
"Be the Change You Want to See in the World." A rather startled knight, a befuddled smile on his face, gets a hug from a green dragon.

On a snowy day, when he thinks Keith's not looking, Kosmo plays with a stick. He has no aversion to sticks as playthings. But he's no dog; he doesn't do "fetch." Day 8. #ArtAdventCalendar #kosmo #spacewolf #wolf #fanart #vld #voltron #krita
Voltron Legendary Defender's very good boy, Kosmo, the space wolf. Although he will not chase and fetch a stick, Kosmo will gnaw on and play with a stick. Here, he amuses himself on a snowy day while Keith, Pidge and Lance are off on Blade of Marmora business.

An oldy because I'm working on a newer thing for tomorrow (or the next day?). My first attempt at digital painting using Krita. From a few years back. Day 7 #ArtAdventCalender #horse #arabianhorse #krita
A dark-gray Arabian horse rears before a backdrop of red, gray and blue-gray brushstrokes.

Princess Allura if she were a teen in the 1980s. Reference is an image of Nancy Wheeler from Stranger Things. Day 6 of #ArtAdventCalendar #fanart #vld #voltron #allura #krita
Princess Allura of Altea from Voltron: Legendary Defender. Fanart envisioning a version of her from Earth's 1980s. Her white hair is in the typical permed, big-hair-style of the 1980s. She wears a denim jacket over a pink sweater. Her earings are two overlapping triangles, one pink, the other purple.

Lotura, the telenovela. More artz for LoturaWeek2025. Background(s) are screenshots from the show. Can't decide which I like better. #Lotura #Lotor #Allura #vld #voltron #fanart #krita
Prince Lotor and Princess Allura from Voltron: Legendary Defender. Allura, wearing her pre-Paladin battle uniform, stares into the camera. Lotor, wearing his usual armor, but absent the skirt part (because I wanted to draw his butt), stands behind Allura, slightly inclined toward her, eyes half shut, seeming about to say something to her. Holoscreens and starry sky from VLD's opening sequence in background. Title reads "Herencia de Las Estrellas." Top text reads: "Hoy gran estreno, 7:25 de la noche." Telemundo logo in upper left corner. Prince Lotor and Princess Allura from Voltron: Legendary Defender. Allura, wearing her pre-Paladin battle uniform, stares into the camera.

Three sandhill cranes stroll down a dirt road. A forested area, trees in fall colors and mountains in the background. Storm clouds hang over the mountains. Oh, a few few hikers and vehicles at a trail head. Three sandhill cranes stroll down a dirt road. Trees and a stormy sky in the background

Another of my belated LoturaWeek2025 entries. Inspired by a perfume ad in Vogue magazine. Reference's bottles are more elaborate, but hell no, not drawing that.😜 #lotura #loturaweek2025 #lotor #allura #voltron #vld #fanart
Princess Allura and prince Lotor from Volton: Legendary Defender. Fanart; reference is a Michael Kors perfume ad from Vogue. Allura and Lotor stand, snuggled close, in the corner of a spaceship. Allura leans into Lotor. Starry sky in window. Both are wearing black formal wear. Allura's dress has gold and silver sparkles. Two perfume bottles in foreground.

Terrible photo because I was so not ready for this. Initially thought it was moonlight on dust or smoke. Northern Lights! This far south! Grateful that the horse gets a 9PM meal; otherwise would have missed this. #northernlights
Northern Lights as seen at around 35-degree latitude, November 11. A night sky is splashed with vivid dark pink and burgundy, set against the silhouettes of trees on the horizon.

Some goth Lotura for LoturaWeek2025. Went hard into a more painterly style and it fought me every step of the way. But I learned a lot in the process. #vld #voltron #lotor #allura #lotura #loturaweek2025 #fanart #krita
Close-up image of the following: Prince Lotor and Princess Allura of Voltron: Legendary Defender. The pair are dressed in darkest purple for a goth photo shoot. Lotor has his arms around Allura's shoulder, his head tilted downward and stares into the camera. Allura leans into his embrace, one arm reaching up to grasp his shoulder.

Scary movie night, Plance-style. A cut scene from my fic "Turn Over a New Leaf," where Lance quits moping over Allura, spends time w/Pidge in the lab and realizes he's actually quite smart. (And so does Pidge.) #fanart #vld #plance #pidge #pidgeholt #katieholt #lance
Katie "Pidge" Holt and Lance of Voltron: Legendary Defender. The pair lay on the floor in a dark room, hiding under a tan blanket, watching a laptop computer. A scary movie is playing and they watch in wide-eyed horror. Pidge clutches an owl stuffy.

Was looking for references of two men arguing and stumbled on this cute pose. It felt very Klance-ish. Messing about with watercolour brushes in Krita. #klance #keith #lance #fanart #vld #krita
Keith and Lance from Voltron: Legendary Defender. Fanart. They are side-by-side, Keith's arm slung loosely over Lance's shoulder, Lance reaching for Keith's jaw, turning his face to him. Both are laughing and Lance leans in for a kiss.

Kosmo, the very good boi.
One of my first attempts to do some painting in Krita. Resulted in me getting a new computer when my old one bogged down with all the little hair strokes.
#kosmo #vld #voltron #spacewolf #fanart
Kosmo, Keith's cosmic wolf from Voltron: Legendary Defender, on the prowl. Though wolf-like in body structure, Kosmo's hair is dark blue gray with a pale blue mane, white face mask and with stripes of glowing cyan.

Princess Allura in pin-up mode.
Although I still prefer Krita for sketching, gotta say that Clip Studio Paint is amazing for painting. #fanart #voltron #vld #allura #clipstudiopaint
Princess Allura from the cartoon Voltron: Legendary Defender. Fanart. Allura sits on the edge of a stool, arms up, gazing sensuously at the camera. Hair in a teased, curled, classic glamorous do. Wearing a blue bustier.

Because "Matt" in Pidge and Matt's final epilogue image looks like Lance. A re-draw of that image.
Pidge gives Lance a test flight briefing.

Katie "Pidge" Holt and Lance McClain from Voltron: Legendary Defender. Pidge stands, her attention on a gray data pad in her hands. Lance stands behind her, wearing a flight suit, watching her input data on the pad.

"Don't 'hermosa' me. Explain yourself, Goofball."
#plance #pidgeholt #pidge #katieholt #lance #fanart #vld #krita
Lance and Katie "Pidge" Holt of Voltron: Legendary Defender. Lance leans toward Pidge, hands together in supplication before him, issuing a bit of a non-pology after having gotten overprotective. Pidge, a Paladin of Voltron, is annoyed and a bit amused.

My style has an unfortunate tendency to reflect whatever I used as a reference; in this case, something with a manga flair.

A scene from my Dragonriders of Pern AU. After a flight, Pidge and Lance chill with a cup of klah on a ledge high above the weir. Their dragons, Azureth and Verdoth, fly in the distance. #plance #pidge #pidgeholt #katieholt #lance #fanart #vld #voltron #krita
