The power couple returns at last, now in redraw form!

This is what I meant if you read my tags on the bennie post by other ship, they really are the same flavor in a different universe <3

Tried to keep more of a vf style with this, and I did a lot better with that on Pidge than Anya, but I don't mind because I love how it turned out

Ps my edit commissions are back open again! If you're interested please take a look at my pinned post for my kofi

Panya History - The Future

Last part in my Pidge/Anya history dump! This one is going to be vaguely about them instead of specifically about them because I really don't have plans for their future once they hit a specific milestone, their adventures don't ever stop, but things get a lot more serious <3

Parts: The Past, The Present, The Future (here)

Marriage doesn't exist on Balto, it almost goes against their beliefs. For Baltons, to have experiences is part of the experiment of living and marriage as many races know it, is forever bonding and unbreakable, sometimes even in the face of death. Being practically bound to a person for the rest of one's life doesn't really fit into the ideal image of experimentation that Baltons are so attached to. While long term relationships still exist, it's just out of someone's own volition to stick with their partner instead of having a legally binding document or something related to show that. Pidge and Anya didn't need that to be together, though being raised on Earth for long enough did put some ideas in Anya's head. She was happy where she was and didn't expect Pidge to comprise his own beliefs for her. And he didn't, but he liked the idea of something physical symbolizing his love for her, so he gave her a ring. The ring turned into paperwork, and that turned into a small wedding party to celebrate the union.

The paperwork was mostly precaution for Pidge, if something happened to him on the field, it'd be Anya who would take care of everything important, especially because his family was so far away. He didn't know what would get to him first, a lion switch or being injured on the field again. Turns out it was both. He always knew it was going to happen during a mission, but not exactly how, or where. While watching Larmina, who was on foot, in his lion, he always made sure to learn from her fights to better train her. This one in particular taught him that she needed more practice with feints, before he rushed out to protect her from a blow. He also learned that he needed to step up his training too and got injured from not being able to entirely block the blow. Now Larmina was mad, first she had to be protected, then Pidge got injured because of her mistake? She wasn't going to let it slide, or let their enemy get away. Pidge refused to back out either, but with both of them focusing on not making his injury worse, their target slipped past. With the adrenaline crashing, they saw he was in worse shape than they thought, and Larmina took over green once more before getting him to medical.

Medbay wouldn't let him fly again, not for a while at least, so Larmina was slotted in green in Pidge's place. She was excited, the last time she took over in a lion was a great experience for her, and Pidge never once doubted her abilities. But that didn't mean his fears of losing green were gone. Anya had noticed it got worse over time, but not being a pilot herself left her with little she could do, she was nothing more than a supportive presence. Lance, however, knew the feeling all too well, and Pidge only hesitated for a moment before venting his fear of losing the one thing he's known and trusted in for most of his life. Larmina had heard, and when Lance left after failing to lighten his mood, she thought she knew exactly how to help him. So she grabbed green's key and tossed it back to Pidge. She wasn't ready, she told him, she needed more flight training, more of every training to get to his level. To become someone like him, to really be a pilot. They argued, and then it was settled, Pidge would stay at the castle and Larmina would take over for him full time. They cried, but neither of them would admit it, especially because they still were wary of their new places.

Yet with a similar face in a new space, they still lost one of their own. Everyone on the team watched as Daniel succumbed to a sickness brought on because of haggarium, eventually bedridden and practically motionless. Maybe they hadn't made enough of an effort to show Daniel he was valued, that he was worth the effort they were putting in to essentially keep him alive By the time anyone even thought that, it was too late. He allowed the destruction of so many cities on Arus before Maahox had arrived to collect him, Vince had seen it all. Maahox didn't hide the fact that the haggarium in Daniel was the cause of that, but he made sure not to let Daniel know that was the only reason he was useful, instead telling him he wasn't needed in the force because of the boy right in front of them trying so hard to get Daniel back. That the force only wanted Vince.

The team knew they had to find the final planet that was part of voltron creation, Maahox wasn't hindered anymore, and his creations had gotten worse. But with no map and no name to their holy grail, they had to get help. Luckily, they weren't the only giant mech team out there with the same goal. The explorer had been reinstated after Wade's arrest, with their mission to defend Earth, and when Maahox first attacked, they did their best as vehicle voltron while the force figured out their own problems before joining in as lion voltron. But now their focus was different, going into deep space like the explorer was originally built to do to search for the missing planet And to protect Earth in their stead? A long forgotten project by the GG finally let into the light, now manned by Drule twins and another stoker to really connect it all.

Everything was terrifying for Anya again, but now Pidge could really promise not to leave her side. Especially because if the moment calls for it, they'd be following their team out into space while still inside the castle, together.

Something else I forgot to post about 💀 At some point I was making a lot of Panya sketches when Napanya finally hit me like a bag of bricks

Nat is @breadstickcat's OC as always <3 While Anya gets spooked pretty easily, Breadstick added that Nat is most definitely squeezing her too tight which is why she looks in pain LOL And Pidge is holding Nat back because her fight or fight (not a typo) could absolutely go off and get them kicked out if she interprets the actors as a threat

[toasthoneyandstardust]

Digging through some of my files and I find THIS ALMOST FOUR-YEAR-OLD EDIT and immediately decided to redraw to see how much I've improved

turns out I've changed a lot

[toasthoneyandstardust]

Gee pidge how come you get TWO wives

[toasthoneyandstardust]

More chibis!! I promise I've been working on the chibis I mentioned last time and here are the rest of them

Also included Anya because I'd kill to have her as a phone charm or SOMETHING

[toasthoneyandstardust]

How do I keep forgetting that the month of December always rocks my shit as it passes

Need to practice using my drawing pad again, it's been a good bit since my last actual drawing The post used for dialogue

[toasthoneyandstardust]

Made a character sheet for the VF server and of course I'm gonna fill it out with Anya

The first page is really general, so I'm hoping the second one balances it out with specifics to voltron Now I finally have something to remember all her stuff with LMAO

[toasthoneyandstardust]

It's been a little bit since I've drawn these losers so here's them just being sweeties

must draw pidge more because i feel like i'm losing my skills :(

[toasthoneyandstardust]

To nobody's surprise, I'm dragged back to these two idiots because good god they're cuties

I attempted this once before on digital and absolutely hated it, so it feels pretty good to get this posted

[toasthoneyandstardust]

Dragging Anya out of the shadows for an art trade!

This is Cosmo, @cxrsedboo's vf OC, and he's the castle's official historian! They're friends, I swear, but that doesn't stop them from throwing hands every now and then

Anya was telling the cadets embarrassing stories for everyone and the second Cosmo heard his name out of her mouth his only mission was to stop her LMAO

Open image for better quality <3

[toasthoneyandstardust]

Not sure about the rest of you but for me it feels like it’s been A WHILE since I posted, partly because I was (and still am) on vacation!

Getting stealing ideas from @cxrsedboo I decided to draw out a meme with Anya again! This is her after Inside The Music (ep 14) because my god was Larmina insufferable for half of that episode

Nobody insults Pidge and actively makes him uncomfortable on Anya’s watch, she keeps a closer eye on her after that

I also got a timelapse of my process again so that will be under the cut!

[toasthoneyandstardust]

Yesterday I said I would finish it tomorrow and I was gonna keep my GODDAMN WORD

Anyway this was pain but it's about time I start trying to draw Anya from scratch so here she is in as close to the vf style as I can get with not having something to trace over <3

Original screencap (under the cut) is from episode 25 Deceive And Conquer, open image for better quality!

once again im not sure what voltron force's problem is with giving their characters curves but this time it looks like all of them only eat one meal a day

[toasthoneyandstardust]

I realized that I never did a new sheet for Anya after giving her like two outfit changes so here she is!

These are some of the basic facts about her, nothing too deep since I'd rather explain every point with its own post lol Nat belongs to my close friend and has been drawn before here!

[toasthoneyandstardust]

This year I'm going to try to participate in the -tober prompts! I'm using a Cringetober prompt list which can be here!

Day One is Heterochromia which my Class Of The Titans OC Irene used to have in her first design Day Two and Three are Self Insert and Unnecessarily Complex Fit, so obvs it had to be Anya since she started off (and still kind of is) my self insert for Voltron Force who at some point had a really complex uniform that I eventually simplified lmao

[toasthoneyandstardust]

More anya civvies! In a big anya (more like panya) mood because of an earlier ask on my main, so I got back to drawing her and the civvies that I still love <3

The ring is supposed to signify how far into the future this drawing is, BUT I'm not sure about another older design for Anya yet, so for now it's just an accessory
