Was stuck in bed with the flu last tweet so wasn’t able to get this done in time for Keith’s birthday, but better late than never. A tribute to my favorite character. Looking forward to seeing him grow as the seasons continue!

Title: My Love Characters: Keith, Allura (Kallura, Voltron: Legendary Defender) Media: Adobe Sketch, iPad Pro Notes: Kallura Month Day 27 & 28: Motherhood & Fatherhood (I’m still gonna get all these prompts done). Also, Happy (early) Birthday to Keith who deserves all the happiness in the world.

Yeah I don’t know what happened here just take it.

Title: Lion & Mouse Characters: Keith, Allura (Kallura, Voltron: Legendary Defender) Media: Adobe Sketch, iPad Pro Notes: Day 17: Lion & Mouse. Trying out some new brushes on my iPad.

One of these days letters are gonna fall From the sky telling us all to go free – “Letters From the Sky” | Civil Twilight

Title: Letters From the Sky Characters: Keith, Allura (Kallura, Voltron: Legendary Defender) Media: Adobe Sketch, iPad Pro, Photoshop, Wacom Notes: Allura and Keith as Star Sapphire and Green Lantern, whose story fits nicely with Day 9: Duty or Heart. This piece also covers Day 4: Aster (Star) and Day 5: Sapphire 😁. Also, I’m majorly rewatching GL:TAS right now!

We could stay here Stay out all night No one will know but us and the moonlight -- “Night Drive” | Jimmy Eat World

Title: Night Drive Characters: Keith, Allura (Kallura, Voltron: Legendary Defender) Media: Adobe Sketch, iPad Pro, Photoshop, Wacom Notes: Day 7: Motorbike. 2nd Illustration for the collaboration @eastofthemoon and I did for Kallura week, a scene from her modern-era AU “Sugar & Coffee.”

Title: Sugar & Coffee Characters: Keith, Allura (Kallura, Voltron: Legendary Defender) Media: Adobe Sketch, iPad Pro, Photoshop, Wacom Notes: Day 6: Free Day. The cover art for a collaboration @eastofthemoon and I planned for Kallura month. The story, “Sugar & Coffee,” is now up, and I will be posting a few more illustrations for it! Really excited for you to read her work! It’s been such a blast creating the art for the world she’s created!

Let it break upon you Like a wave upon the sand Listen with your heart You will understand

Title: Listen With Your Heart Characters: Keith, Allura (Kallura, Voltron: Legendary Defender) Media: Adobe Sketch, iPad Pro, Photoshop, Wacom Notes: For Kallura Month Day 3: Compass. The prompt reminded me of the scene from Disney’s Pocahontas where the compass guides her to save John Smith, so I redrew it Kallura-style (with some artistic license). Also wanted to try drawing in the style of the movie, but gave up halfway 😂. Maybe I’ll try again some day.

Got lazy with the background, so it’s just an edited screenshot of the Altean field with parts painted over.

But even after everything we'e seen We've barely caught a glimpse of what it means In the architecture of the soul The universe began with our eyes closed

Title: With Our Eyes Closed Characters: Keith, Allura (Kallura, Voltron: Legendary Defender) Media: Adobe Sketch, iPad Pro, Photoshop, Wacom Notes: Title comes from the song “Overture” by Sleeping At Last. My submission for Kallura Month Day 1: Moon Princess and Day 2: Star Knight. Inspired by a shot from the Sailor Moon Crystal S3 ending. It felt very appropriate for the prompt so I redrew featuring Keith and Allura. 

Allura’s dress texture sampled from an image of Jupiter’s moon, Callisto. Background star field is a manip of this Hubble image, this JPL image, and this NASA photograph of the moon. 

If you forget the way to go And lose where you came from If no one is standing beside you Be still and know I am

Title: Be Still Characters: Keith, Allura (Kallura, Voltron: Legendary Defender) Media: Adobe Sketch, iPad Pro, Photoshop, Wacom Notes: Inspired by the song “Be Still” by The Fray (track 5 on this fan mix I made for Kallura week) and that beautiful scene at the end of VLD 3.04 where Keith goes to comfort Allura. It was so soft and probably one of my favorite scenes from the season. Their aesthetic is clearly being together in front of beautiful space background and that’s all I’m going to be drawing for the foreseeable future.

Title: Lazon Characters: Keith/Allura (Kallura), Lotor’s shadow Media: Adobe Sketch/iPad Pro + Photoshop/Cintiq Notes: Drew this months ago for the KAEX Spring Gift Exchange, but totally forgot to post it online. The prompt was to redraw the scene from DoTU where Keith saves Allura from Lotor but gets slashed by his lazon sword, in the style of VLD. It’s not a direct translation because I think the scene would play out slightly differently in Legendary Defender; Allura would make Lotor eat hot death if he hurt Keith. So I present to you a fierce, angry Allura whose only reason for NOT blasting Lotor with her magic is because she’s cradling an injured Keith. 

Warm up sketch that turned Kallura.

The 7th and Final day of @kalluraweek - Free Day!

Title: Cuddle Characters: Keith x Allura + the Space Mice (Kallura, Voltron Legendary Defender) Media: iPad Pro, Adobe Sketch, Cintiq, Photoshop Notes:  I know there have been a few of these, but I wanted to contribute my own version of Keith and Allura snuggling. Also, in my head the space mice are going to love Keith (like they did in Voltron Force!) and will totally cuddle when them.

It’s been so much fun creating stuff for this week--thank you all for your comments, likes and reblogs! I was able to do all 7 days thanks to the support of the Kallura community! You guys rock!

For @kalluraweek Day 6: Dance (just barely made it!)

Title: Bollywood Characters: Keith x Allura (Kallura) + Slav (Voltron Legendary Defender) Media: iPad Pro, Adobe Sketch, Photoshop, Cintiq Notes: Because I’m South Asian and Bollywood dancing is amazing and I don’t see it represented enough in animation. Had to include Slav because I love that little Indian Caterchicken. Background inspired by Holi colors. Enjoy!

For @kalluraweek Day 5: Storm. Continuing with the animate gifs.

Title: Letters From The Sky Characters: Keith/Allura (Kallura, Voltron Legendary Defender) Media: Adobe Sketch, Photoshop, iPad Pro Notes: Kind of a Kallura modern day AU, inspired by the song Letters From The Sky (which can be found on my Keith&Allura fanmix)! Another attempt at an animated gif.

Title: Underwater (Time Is Standing Still) Character: Keith, Allura (Kallura, Voltron Legendary Defender) Media: Photoshop, Adobe Sketch Note: For @kalluraweek Day 2: Underwater. Inspired by the song “10,000 Emerald Pools” by Børns and a scene from a Kdrama. Wanted to try my hand at an animated gif :). Hope you enjoy!

And here’s my gift to Keith/Allura Exchange (KAEX) for Valentines day!

Title: Slow Motion Characters: Keith/Allura (Kallura, Voltrong Legendary Defender) Media: Adobe Sketch, iPad Pro, Photoshop, Cintiq Notes: Title inspired by the song “Slow Motion Addict” by Carina Round because...I don’t know why. It’s not really a Kallura song, but I was listening to it when sketching this.

For @kalluraweek Day 1: Stranded

Title: Stranded Characters: Keith, Allura (Kallura, Voltron Legendary Defender) Media: Adobe Sketch, iPad Pro/Pencil, Photoshop, Cintiq Note: Keith and Allura floating through space in 2.06 is seriously one of the most gorgeous animation sequences I’ve seen in a while. This is a re-draw of that, from Allura’s perspective.
