As A Certified Horse Girl I Have Always Felt Like The Horse Miraculous Was Not Meeting Its Full Potential.

As a certified horse girl I have always felt like the horse miraculous was not meeting its full potential. So I thought it would be fun to draw a horse miraculous holder. First off I thought it would be fun if they were from the United States or Mexico so they could have a western cowboy/vaquero vibe.

I came very close to giving her a cowboy hat with horse ears but the high ponytail is just too horse reminiscent for me so she has a tie in her hair that resembles horse ears. I wanted the mask to resemble a bandit mask a bit which is why it’s black and not brown. She has chaps which are white and tattered on the bottom to resemble feathered horse hooves like on Clydesdales and other similar breeds. The boots have a metal horse shoe on the sole so she makes a clip clop sound when she walks. I also gave her a body harness referencing bridals and reigns. For the weapon I’d change it from the horse shoe boomerang to a lasso or whip, and the miraculous could be a bolo tie or belt buckle instead of the glasses.

When I redesign Pegasus I’m going to have to see if there’s any interesting French riding wear or something to put more emphasis on the horse aspect.

Anyway what would be a good hero name for her?

My caprikid redesign. Everyone voted to keep the fur so I extended it into a vest though I also made a version where it stayed the same.

Turns out that I actually didn’t full dislike his design as much as I originally thought I just really hated his horns. While I know some goats have horns like that they reminded me more of gazelle or antelope horns than goat horns. They were also so tall sticking out of his head they looked kinda goofy. So I changed his horns to shorter straighter horns like on most common goats.

I added two more colors to his color scheme a darker gray and a beige. I gave him cloven hoof details on his boots and gave him some little goat ears. I wanted it to read more clearly as goat. I also updated his mask a lot. I tried to give it the same marking patterns as many goats and I like it a lot more. I also changed the color on his paint brush handle since that brown was not anywhere else in his color palette.

Finally I gave him I white patch in his hair. Don’t know how I feel about it, maybe I should have kept it solid red but I thought it might be fun idk.

Anyway who should I redesign next?

Hawkmoth 😈🦋

I know hawkmoth neglects his son, is a dirty capitalist, and commits acts of domestic terrorism on the daily but in my personal opinion his biggest crime is being a super villain with a butterfly theme and a background in fashion and looking so incredibly BORING.

He has all the potential to serve looks and yet he wears the most boring uninspired suit with little to no reference to butterflies.

I took away the bald cap, added a ton of butterfly shapes, and just added a ton more detail in general.

I’m very happy with it, I think he still looks intimidating and full of bad intentions while actually having a butterfly theme.

I’m working on shadowmoth and monarch now. I might do a drawing of my redesigned hawkmoth and mayura together.

I liked her too much so I did a full body. I tried to do an evil mr. Bug too but it’s hard to make Adrien edgy in a way that also looks cool. I’m open to any ideas if anyone has any. Pretend I drew chains for the belt and shoulder accessories.

Kitty noir redesign, I had a lot of fun with this one. I changed a lot including her hair, shoes, markings, eye color, mask, lipstick, and general color scheme.

In my opinion the original design was a mess. I don’t know if it was intentional or not but there was a lot going.

Because there was a lot going on in the og design I did make the redesign pretty complicated with a lot of patterns and green accents. I kept her hair cut mostly the same though I took away the green ombré and fixed her bangs a bit. I kept the waist line of the original pants and the little half jacket thing. I changed pretty much everything else.

First off I don’t know why they made her purple but she can’t be black kitty without being black so I made her suit black.

I also didn’t like how this costume broke the precedent they had set of there being no exposed skin. Kitty noir had her ankles wrists and backs of her hands exposed so I changed it to be more like the other suits.

I don’t know why they made her eyes yellow but I felt like they clashed with her hair and skin tone so I made them the same blue color as Zoe’s eyes.

I added some stripe details to her mask added more green ( as opposed to yellow I don’t know why they made her accents yellow ) to the overall design and gave her green claws. I figured adding so much more green would set her apart from chat noir and lady noir.

Finally I gave her black lipstick because that neon yellow green color was the part I most disliked about her design ( though the show does consistently give characters awful lip colors). Since I think they were trying to be alternative or something with the yellow green color I figured black would also be alternative and also more cohesive and readable.

Anyway I feel like the black cat miraculous is one of the easiest to design for and they made so many interesting decisions for Zoe. Especially with the color scheme which was pretty far from the established black cat color scheme.

I am now trying to redesign Rooster Bold and I would like to formally apologize for putting him so low. I judged him before I really knew him his design is actually kinda slay, there’s so much rooster happening. I think he just has so much more style than any of the other miraculous holders that I misinterpreted it as ugly when it’s actually pretty. Im sorry rooster boy you didn’t deserve this. Cock a doodle DO continue as you were.

My tier list of miraculous holder designs. Didn’t realize I like so many of them to be honest. Some of them could be improved with small tweaks like carapace not have such a goofy hood and goggles as his overall suit is good. I also think some of the designs aren’t necessarily bad but don’t look good in the 3D animation style of the show. For example I would probably like rooster bold more in a 2d animation style. Also aspik and multimouse aren’t on here but multimouse would be in not bad and aspik would be in awful with his father. Maybe I’ll make one of just marinettes transformations since she has so many. Anyway who should I redesign next?
