Finally Did Carapace! I Actually Like Most Of His Suit. The Problem Is In The Shape Of The Hood, It Just

Finally did carapace! I actually like most of his suit. The problem is in the shape of the hood, it just makes him look so goofy. The way the bottom of it turns up like that, just looks strange and it makes his head look even bigger. I changed the color palette a bit adding a bit more yellow toned greens and added a few more pattern details to the suit. I also gave him some headphones and replaced the silly goggles with a mask. If alyas eyesight can be fixed by the miraculous than so can his. I hope nino gets a bit more development. I think showing more of his dynamic with adrien would be cool to see as well as seeing his dynamic with marinette get fleshed out a bit.

I’ve finished the water power up redesigns but for some reason I still am not sure if I like them. I think it’s because I left the pink as a secondary color on ladybug. I’m wondering if changing it to blue would work better.

Ladybug ice power up redesign. I was going to wait a while to post this but I got impatient so here she is. While I liked chat noirs ice design lady bugs was so disappointing as most of her designs are. The best thing about it was the geometrical spots like snowflakes so I had to include that. I removed the little tiara because I hated it, and overall tried to add more detail to the costume. There are so many beautiful figure skater costumes to take inspiration from and the best they could do was a silly little crown smh. I gave her those figure skater leggings and a little sheer skirt that is meant to resemble wings. I also made a version with wings on the back but I think I like it better without. I gave her a bun to change up the hair a bit and an ombré on her legs so that the majority wouldn’t just be red with black spots. I think she’s very much improved and looks more like both a superhero and a figure skater.

Here’s water power up lady bug. I’m not completely happy with her if I’m being honest but I think I like her more than the original. I feel like I would like the longer pigtails if they weren’t structured so much and moved like hair but I know that wasn’t in the budget. The best part of the original design is the fish scale pattern which is pretty genius so I had to keep that. I wouldn’t be surprised if I changed her in the future but for now I think I’m okay with this.

Here are the ice power ups together. This is the first time I’ve placed my versions of ladybug and chat noir next to each other, I guess I should try to redesign chat noirs basic look but I love the canon design so much I don’t know what I’d change. Next I’ll probably do the water power ups and maybe the space ones. I’m still curious to know what the other unrevealed power ups do. The ones that are currently known both protect the users from certain environments/give them ways to navigate those environments but what other environments are there that would require a powerup? I guess one could make them immune to fire but other than that I have no clue.

When you get around to redesign eagle or so will uncanny valley/aeon get a redesign to

Hmm maybe I hadn’t considered it. I don’t know what I would change since she doesn’t have a set theme like the other heroes.

Chat noir ice transformation redesign. To be honest chat noir is one of the few characters to have consistently good designs with a few notable exceptions (catsnake fusion). I guess it’s hard to mess up a simple black cat motif. For this redesign I kept most of it the same but added some black fur because I feel it would be a missed opportunity not to since he’s usually like a sleek black cat but fluffy ones exist as well. I also added a few more markings to his mask. Something fun I hadn’t noticed in the original design was how his hair had frosted tips and was lighter so I kept that because I thought I was cute with the snow theme. Also I don’t remember if they change their names when they use power ups, it would be silly if they do but also ice noir is a pretty cool name since it translates to black ice.
