Shadow Moth Redesign. Shadow Moth Has One Of The Most Disappointing Designs In The Whole Series To Me.

Shadow moth redesign. Shadow moth has one of the most disappointing designs in the whole series to me. He’s a villain, fashion designer, and is combining two of the flashiest creatures in the theme, a peacock and butterfly, yet his design barely changes at all. Ladybug got a lovely and different design when she got the bee miraculous and that was for less than a few minutes in a single episode. Shadow moth is supposed to be hawkmoths upgrade to make him more dangerous and powerful but that is not represented in his new look.

First off I gave him claws because peacocks have claws and they are more villainous than normal gloves. I lengthened his coat for more drama and gave it a butterfly shape with peacock designs. His shoes look like peacock feet and I gave him a dramatic peacock collar. I also added actual peacock colors since they fit naturally into the color scheme already.

What is your inspiration for your designs? Will you redesign guardian ladybug or bug noir how do you feel about Lila as the new butterfly miraculous holder? What will be the next redesign you post

My main inspiration for the designs is the animals they’re based off of while trying to keep them within the general aesthetic of the show. I might redesign guardian LB and bugnoire but I don’t have any strong ideas for changes worth making yet so it’s up in the air. I think Lila will be an interesting new villain, though I hope they make her main motivation more clear, like hawkmoth very obviously wanted to make a specific wish but we don’t really know what she wants yet. I do want to make a design for her with the butterfly though I don’t know when I’ll do that. I think it’s going to be hard to make her an actual threat considering how many resources and support ladybug has now with all the miraculous back. Like between the rooster, bee, ox, snake, and monkey how can a villain be a real threat for more than five minutes. The next redesign I post will probably be viperion though I might make a design for Emilie agreste with the peacock.

Where Adrien’s a prince locked in a tower by his father and Marinette is the bakers daughter who brings him his meals. Maybe he’s guarded by a giant moth monster or something.

This redesign took me many tries and I finally had to stop looking at the original design and just go fresh. I don’t think the original is necessarily bad I just hate the color palette like why is he pink with lime green hair for no reason. Neither of those colors are even on a peacock. I did kind of like his hood in theory but the animation style of this show has such huge heads that the hoods always look silly to me which is also why I’ve been struggling with carapace. My main inspiration for this was actually the original chat noir design from when he was Felix which is why I gave him longer hair, thigh high boots, and a little belt. I wanted his color palette to be lighter than mayura since she’s evil and he’s more morally grey. I also wanted the jacket to be a little over the top since he is very dramatic. I’m not completely happy with it but I do like it more than the original.

Who will be your next redesign? have you thought about a eagle redesign or ladydragon from the specials or will they not be getting one

My next redesign will probably be bunnix, baby form and adult. I hadn’t planned on redesigning the specials girls but I think there are definitely some fun things to do with a dragon design so I might.

Aspik redesign. His original design was very much fine besides the bald cap though I do think it did give the impression that Adrien looked wrong because he wasn’t supposed to have the snake miraculous. Even though the somewhat ugly design made sense from a narrative perspective I wanted to try and make him look good. The main thing I wanted to keep in mind was that he had to look more like Adrien than chat noir. I ended up covering some of his hair with a cobra like hood but I left him some visible hair that is styled similar to Adrien’s. Other than that I just changed the markings on the suit to be more snakey. I’m pretty happy with this I think it is more visually appealing.
