Description

So this was totally unintentional from the beginning. I just felt like sketching the King Liger one night, then it turned into "well I just do some flat colors just for fun", then to "well ok I'll shade it", finally to "yeah maybe a background would be cool". I probably did a billion sketches until I got a "fluffy mane" that I liked. Turning the grade-ups and their wtf anatomy/huge heads into the more standard zoid look isn't the easiest :/


Ok it's on tumblr now, link below!

 It's the grade-ups WTF anatomy that makes me want to see what Kotobukiya could do with them. Poor things don't get enough love.

It's so refreshing to see someone doing any kind of artwork in the fandom for Zoids. This is beautiful and the detail is perfect.

idk why but this really reminds me of Volron (Yas im a nerd ) I think it's the lion theme. This is awesome work by the way :3.

AuroraLion In reply to AzzurraMune [2018-07-28 23:00:26 +0000 UTC]

lol! This guy's from a series called zoids that actually predates Voltron And thanks!!

Darkemperess In reply to AuroraLion [2018-08-08 09:32:01 +0000 UTC]

Technically speaking, Voltron Defenders of the Universe predates Zoids. Voltron originally came out in 1980 while Zoids began their first iteration of model kits in 1982. The Zoids anime didn't start airing until 1999, so Voltron was first in a lot of things lol

Eh it's close enough LOL I read the dates wrong then again, thanks dyslexia. I kinda feel like all those things are soooo close together that they all inspired each other.

Darkemperess In reply to AuroraLion [2018-08-09 08:19:08 +0000 UTC]

Solids started out as nothing more than a toy line, but it started having a story made with it when Tomy started making the newer model kits to try and make more sales. When the models started coming with mini manga is when Zoids became as big as it was/is. Zoids kinda rode on the Gundam craze to get itself even bigger. Voltron may have been an inspiration for the manga/anime, but I'd say it was more along the lines of the gundam craze that did it lol

Thanks!! It's from Zoids, though this guy never got to appear in any of the shows. He was just a model, but it's one of my favs Zoids had a few animes and an all new one airing right now.

I feel ya on trying to draw the Gradeup Zoids, but this came out absolutely beautiful. The blade redesign looks nice, and the fluffy mane in general is a better IMO than the... wave... pattern... zigzag thingy- that they do on a lot of the gradeups. In spite of the design changes it's still very clearly King Liger and is perfectly at home being recognized as one.

AuroraLion In reply to KeshionLin [2018-07-27 23:46:01 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I'm so glad lol I've drawn the zeekdober and gultiger no problem but king was so difficult. It's just so odd and with that mane going into the back and all I could think of is that it'd be in layers and shift when its head and neck moves (which did give a cool mental image). I wish I could just slap this to kotobukiya and be like MAKE THIS HAPPEN lol
