Sloth-like alien (Voltron)

I know what some of you are thinking: What the quiznak does this drawing have to do with Voltron? Usually when you hear the word Voltron, you think of robots, flying lions and their paladins, but no - in the vast sea of so much fan art involving all mentioned examples (and more!), I chose to draw the first alien we meet in the first episode (not counting Alteans and the Galra) - some kind of an alien sloth-like creature, the guardian of the Green Lion. We don't find out its name or the name of its species for that matter, it doesn't talk at all and we don't actually see other specimens, only this one, who lead Shiro and Pidge to the Lion.

In fact, most of the aliens resemble known animals such as owls, tardigrades etc., but for me this design was the most interesting. I watch way too many Japanese anime shows, so I'm usually sceptical when it comes to animated American shows, but I liked it very much. The story is very interesting, it unfolds as the episodes progress, there are many unexpected twists and the animation is great. I think I'll wait for the last season to be released and then, when it's all finished, try to draw something more familiar from the show.

Here's some WIP:

Kittens of Asgard

About a week ago (or more?) I let you, my followers, decide what you'd like me to draw next, by using that question thingy in the IG stories. There were about 30 views, but surprisingly only one request: kittens! Following the steps of my mentor Jazza, I decided to add a little twist to that idea: I drew the kittens as members of the famous Asgardian family - Hela, claiming her throne and not letting anyone near it, Loki plotting how to overthrow her reign, and Thor doing some silly stuff and not caring about being the king.

As I said before, I keep using the graphic tablet so I can create fast and simple illustrations, but something about this drawing is still off - the style isn't cute enough, it doesn't look like it's drawn by someone who tends to call himself a skilled artist and it took me way too much time to finish it. Also, the lineart is too thick and some solutions could have turned out better. It seems I'll keep making some of these mistakes, at least until I eventually get a grip of it. So, let's be honest, I'm not really satisfied with the result, but I decided to post it anyway. Please be gentle.

Bye,

Genos (One Punch Man)

Here's another practice with my Gaomon tablet, this time it's the cyborg Genos from my favourite anime One Punch Man. It was a random idea, just to see how the pressure sensitivity pen would behave with this kind of illustrations, and I must say I'm happy with how it turned out.
