Yall Think Im Joking About How Many Times I Came Back To Turtle Alyas Design? A Lot Of These I Liked

Y’all think I’m joking about how many times I came back to Turtle Alya’s design? A lot of these I liked better than what I ended up with, but they were too far off “turtle” imo.

Okay I know I said Chloe was next in the redesign lineup but I couldn't NOT talk about these two! Shadybug and Claw Noir are stupid names, and this movies plot is looking very similar to a re-write of Chat Blanc I did a while ago but never published. So I had to re-design the villains and did a quick piece for their civilian designs.

I cannot express how much I don't want them to change the designs though. The cannon outfits look like they're trying to be edgy sooooooo hard but are middle schoolers. It fits.

I hardly changed Shadybug since I actually like her design, just made it match my redesign sensibilities. But I took away Claw Noir's spikes and instead gave them with zippers in a shade of green to look like slash marks at a first glance. And gave him the mohawk he deserves instead of the mess he has in cannon. Finally switch their eye colors to normal.

Civilian Evil-Mari looks better than Adrien too. She's not great and I thought she would lend better to pastel punk/goth aesthetics since pink is such a major part of her character design. I did keep her edgy hair and pink streak cause it's cute. And I tried to reference her little ascot/scarf in the shape of her hair ties.

Meanwhile, Evil Adrien would just look like Felix. Writers shooting themselves in the foot there. I actually had 3 directions to go with his civilian outfit. The first being leave his design the exact same, implying that more than ever the 'Adrien' is the mask. The second is giving him an outfit like Felix, dark and stiff showing he's still mourning. And finally the one I went with, going in the direction of season 5 Gabriel. Clean, pressed, and polished to the point it looks sterile and uncomfortable. I did give him a (very) light blue turtle neck to reference OG evil Adrien, Chat Blanc. But overall just pale and fake looking.

I saw my old Peacock Felix's design and it's friccing ugly so I made better one

Of course in the show the design won't be like this (this is complicated af)
