Description “I can’t tell if he looks healthy or not,” Avgustin frowned over Ginger’s shoulder. Jin was still resting in the healing pod, his face in a surprisingly peaceful expression for someone who only days ago had nearly lost his life protecting Sanjin from a bomb.

“I think he’s breathing weird,” Fledge chimed in, nose pressed against the glass of the pod and staring past img display showing Jin’s vitals. Over Fledge’s shoulder, Cassius was standing with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face. He was growing impatient, and had been for the past few days.

“Oh, come on!” he cried in exasperation, reaching a hand over Fledge’s head to open the pod only to feel a sharp slap across his knuckles. Glancing over, he was met with Ginger’s fiery gaze and Fidget’s own reprimanding glare.

“No! Not yet!” Ginger snapped. “Just a few more ticks!” Cassius’ scowl deepened. In the meantime, Dust was in the background trying to get a decent glimpse of what was going on – he might have been the tallest of everyone but that meant little when everyone else was blocking his view. Fidget was doing nothing to help – at least she could fly.

“How much better do you think he’s going to get in ‘a few more ticks’?!” Cassius growled.

Season 4 both confused me and tore me to freaking pieces (Episodes 2 & 3 were easily my favourites from the season, and Episode 2 is possibly my favourite episode from the entire series so far), so I decided to go back to some sketches I had for this crossover-AU and finish one off. I went with this one because I needed to draw Ginger telling Cassius off. Speaking of Cassius, I finally drew him with grey eyes instead of red! I’ll be going back and editing the other pictures I have for this AU to fit with the descriptions I have in the written chapters, but I do kind of like him with red eyes as well (I know it’s been confirmed that he has grey eyes, but I’ve always headcanoned him with red, I don’t have Twitter) so I’ll probably work that into the plot somehow.

Haha, love this scene!  Somehow, Cassius almost looks cute.  Maybe it's the big eyes or something.  People/animals with big eyes always look cute.

Big eyes + bewildered expression = somewhat cute

Cassius: Do NOT call me cute!

Fidget: Sure, sure. You’re a skilled warrior and efficient killing machine but that’s in the canon universe! You can afford to relax a LITTLE bit in this alternate one - we’ve already got two pictures of you SMILING!

Cassius: What are you talking about?!

Me: Easy on the fourth wall breaking, Fidget. I think you almost blew his mind.

No, Jin's just healing up.

EDIT: I should also note that the perspective of this picture is from inside the healing pod – all the characters shown are on the outside looking in.

If there is any additional context for a picture, I generally put it in the description - the scene extract I’ve written down should provide the setting for this scene

Lol, sounds like a fun scene! Aww poor Jin! I do hope he's ok from that explosion. 
I certainly missed your Dust Voltron pictures, you draw them so amazingly!! BTW, woooow Season 4 sounds awesome. I haven't started season 1 but I do have a pretty good idea on what's going on in the series. :3 Lol, I like how you drew Fidget's face, she looks so cute. And Dust too. 
Haley looks really funny too. I'd love to see the scene where Haley is talking to Dust and she reveals her identity to him, :3

I miiiight have to look up more of Dean Dodrill's tweets and stuff and see if he really said that. I mean, I just heard it from a dear friend of mine who said that Dean said it, so I believed her. And yeah, Cassius definitely looks cool with red eyes. Hey, maybe it could be a supernatural thing where his eyes turn red when he gets reeeeeeally angry. If you prefer him with red, then its cool if you can keep it that way! I do like him with grey eyes too. :3 Buuuuut whatever you want.

Don't worry – after this scene he's up and about again, right as rain it's actually shortly after this that Haley drops the "I'm a girl" bombshell – with everyone else apparently already clued into the fact, Jin starts to wonder how long he was actually out of it XD

I've got a few more sketches that I want to tidy up and colour for this AU on my iPad, mostly from Season 1 because there are some golden facial expressions in that season alone XD Also, there's a small dialogue snippet for Fledge/Haley that I've flat-coloured which I want to get shaded and add the background to, because it is one of my favourite pieces of Pidge dialogue from the first season. In the meantime, I also need to finish Avgustin and Cassius' Elysian Warrior profiles  

I'm definitely thinking of making red-eye Cassius a plot point in this AU. Because his arc mostly follows Keith's, I won't spoil too much of it as it is a fairly big character plot point later on in the series.

Lol that sounds like a great scene. And OH LOL JIN, the castle is also a ship. XP

Wow, thats great! You sketch them out first then digitalize them? That's great. That's mostly what I do too. I like sketching something out cuz its easiest for me to do, rather then start scratch on my digital drawing thing.

Yeeeaaah great idea!! Keith sounds like a super awesome character. XD (I think my sis already likes him. XP)

XD

A lot of the time I do sketching digitally as well - the canvas dimensions I’ve been using for these screencap redraws is really specific plus it saves paper in the long run I used to sketch on paper and then go over it digitally, but since getting my digital art tools I’ve been sketching more and more digitally as well.

Keith is definitely an interesting character he’s not my personal favourite, that would be Pidge, but I can see why people like him
