Monarch Re-design. I Kept The Idea Of The Stained Glass Motif But I Changed It A Bit. I Wanted Him To

Monarch re-design. I kept the idea of the stained glass motif but I changed it a bit. I wanted him to be overly extravagant especially as he’s kind of gone a bit mad with power at this point and is not in tune with reality. I gave him a silly reflective butterfly mask that covers his eyes and a giant butterfly cape.

The first monarch design was boring but it had aspects I liked like the hair and the stained glass butterfly. The second monarch design is just so incredibly boring. It’s worse even than hawkmoth and shadow moth because this is supposed to be him at his ultimate power and there’s nothing in the design to suggest royalty or excess.

Where are your miraculous redesign it's been so long and who are you Redesigning next would you redesign characters like bunnix or rooster bold?

I keep trying to redesign rooster bold but I’m having trouble because a lot of aspects of his canon design work really well for a rooster design but I just don’t like the way they look such as the Mohawk which looks a bit silly though it’s really clever for a rooster. I already think bunnix has a great design but I might change it up a little bit. I’ll be started school again so I don’t know when the next one will be but I do want to keep doing them.

Young bunnix redesign. I changed very little since I think the original is pretty solid. A gave her skates with rabbit foot designs, lengthened the white parts on her legs and removed the pockets on the front replacing them with the dot design on her sides. Adult bunnix will have more changes to her design though the canon one is also pretty adorable.

Another one that I didn’t change much. The fox is one of the ones that’s hard to mess up much like the cat. It has a simple color palette and recognizable features. Rena’s canon design is one of my favorites in the show because it just works. I did change a couple things, for one I gave her some soles to her shoes and some little paw markings. Foxes are the only species in canidae that have retractable claws (as far as I can remember) so I of course had to give her claws and I’m actually offended that she was deprived of them in the first place. I also changed her jacket to not have the white going up it but to layer over the white. I changed her eye color to an amber gold color and my favorite change her mask I made a little more foxy. I also gave a subtle gradient to her suit to make it a bit more interesting.

(Also I forgot to add designs to her flute so just ignore that.)

I love Rena and it was fun drawing her.

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.

Have you done a redesign on Shadow Noir yet cause the original gave me nightmares.

Honest to god I forgot about him but now I probably will. He was so ugly I think I wiped him from my memory.
