: So, @kabartmatzu Suggested We Did A Screenshot Redraw Collab With Our Ladybug And Chat Noir Redesigns

🇺🇸: So, @kabartmatzu suggested we did a screenshot redraw Collab with our Ladybug and Chat noir redesigns from our AUs!! :D [Their post]

I made a version with my "normal" style and a simpler version- I really want to develop a simpler style so I can use it in some scenes IF I do the comic for my AU, so I'm doing some tests by now. I wanted to make the coloring more interesting than that, but I think it is ok.

Those designs are definitely not the final ones, specially ladybug's- but I knew that if I waited until I got satisfied with the designs I'd probably never post it lol. I also changed her hair a little bit.

[The designs: Old Ladybug - New Ladybug - Chat Noir]

At the same time that I do want to post a lot about my AU, most of it is either something I'm afraid to be a spoiler or something that can change/has not be fully decided yet. So it can take a while before I start posting actual relevant stuff about it.

Anyways, it was fun to make. The screenshot:

🇧🇷: Então, @kabartmatzu sugeriu que nós fizéssemos um Collab de redesenhar alguma cena com os designs de Ladybug e Chat Noir das nossas AUs! :D

[O design delu]

Eu fiz uma versão com meu estilo "normal" e uma versão mais simples- quero muito desenvolver um estilo mais simples pra poder usar ele em algumas cenas CASO eu faça a comic pra minha AU, então tô fazendo alguns testes por agora. Queria q a pintura ficasse um pouco mais interessante que isso, mas acho que ficou ok.

Esses designs definitivamente não são definitivos, especialmente o da ladybug (inclusive, mudei o cabelo dela um pouco)- mas eu sabia que se eu esperasse até ficar satisfeita eu nunca ia postar kkkk

[Os designs: Ladybug Antiga - Ladybug Nova - Chat Noir]

Ao mesmo tempo que eu quero postar bastante sobre minha AU, a maior parte dela é ou algo que eu tenho medo de ser spoiler, ou algo que pode mudar/que eu não decidi totalmente ainda. Então talvez demore um pouco até eu começar a postar coisas de fato relevantes sobre ela.

De qualquer forma, foi bem divertido de fazer :)

woah number four what featuring tikki!

I think her canon design is super cute, but also fairly simple, so I wanted my ‘fixed’ tikki to have a more bright, magical girl kinda vibe lol

mbau tikki has a less saturated palette mainly cause I think it works well with the other characters and it kinda works thematically? fbau version has more saturated colors cause. I can. and just slightly different physical traits. Her ‘tail’ (idk if it really counts as a tail but whatever lol) is significantly smaller from stress :)

these were fun! i’m glad i made the main bugs and cats, perhaps a turtle and fox will be next

Oookaaay… Here is Marinette Dupain-Cheng aka Ladybug. There is not many doodles like in Chloe’s drawing because I didn’t want to lol. I worked on Ladybug waay before Chloe and I tried so many designs and I worked on this drawing for days because of my job so I kinda got bored of drawing her. But I will draw her more later, dw!

Now I want to tell a little about my design choices rather than her story. She is not so different from show anyway. I deleted her creepiness and made her “not wearing same outfit everyday”. Lmao. Also she talks a lot about fashion in every kind of situation. She is a talented person in many kind of things. She is kind, friendly and cares about others more than herself. I kept her clumsiness but not as annoying as in the show. She is late to school not because she over sleeps but because she spends so much time on her clothing I thought. She got miraculous on high school but story takes time in their university years. Nino is her high school friend. She met with Alya in university. They are roommates in dorm.

So there are rules I follow when I design their hero outfits. Like keep the eyes same as kwamii’s eyes. And there are some features every holder keeps. I mean for all the Ladybug users, they’ve got that black dot on their head and they can’t cover it. That’s why her fringe (?) is short. Also Marinette would like her hair out of her way. Or they get elytra and wings. Yes she got wings so does Queen Bee ( even tho i forgot to draw ) but they can’t fly I thought. They just can glide with them because wings are not big enough for a human to fly. Or Cat users always get ears. All users get sharper faces so they become unrecognizable also their skin tone changes a little. Ladybug users get redder Bee users get yellower etc.

So for Marinette I tried giving her Chinese symbols like some other redesigns. I would like to show it but I can’t get it thanks to Autodesk getting crushed :/ I like that design but still I didn’t went with that. I felt like it doesn’t help with the secret identity thing. So I went with reds over black like real ladybugs. 🐞 I also wanted white dots a lot because of, again, real ladybugs. But I didn’t like them so I added circles over black dots. I am not sure if it looks too complicated but I kinda liked them. Yellow would be good too with red and black but every character would have yellow on them if I did so. Chat Noir and Hawkmoth has yellow details in my redesigns that you will see in the future. (Kinda want to give that they are related they are son and father thing with same yellow lines. I thought its cute.) Queen Bee is also yellow soo I didn’t add yellow on Ladybug. Two stripes on her hips for ladybug’s third set of legs if that makes sense. Her legs and arms are black because ,again, ladybugs are like that. I also thought she added her ladybug thing on her neck after seeing Cat Noir’s bell hehehe. I like pig tails but I really wanted “antennas” to come from her hair so I changed them into buns and I kinda liked them.

Also about her earrings looking like triangles, in my version kwamiis can shapeshift and miraculouses are kind of a part of them so they also can change miraculouses looks. So Marinette has shapeshifting earrings so she doesn’t have to keep buying new earrings lmaoo. It is also good for hiding their identity!

For her powers I will make a post and explain my version of the power system so I will explain her powers there but let me tell you no.miraculous.ladybuging. No fixing every damage. No. Also her yoyo will have more abilities so does other users weapons. I don’t think I will keep the communication thing where they use them as phones. But I want yoyo to has the abilities in the 2D version. Like using it as smoke bomb or as a shield. Her elytra is also like a shield but she can’t take it in her hand. It always stays in her back. Or she can separate her yoyo from middle and make it kinda like nunchucks. I will draw those to explain better.

Also… I am not sure how she will use her creation power. I mean she creates something with her yoyo i mean lucky charm. But Chat Noir looks like he gets his destruction power from his ring. Did you get what I mean? I thought maybe Marinette should get the thing she created from her earrings and make all other users like that but like how Queen Bee’s venom will work then? Or Rena Rouge’s power?? I am not sureee. Maybe I should make them all use their weapons to use their powers or I can make all of them different? Any idea?

will you add any ocs in your au?

I won't really be adding any OCs. But I WILL add characters from past concepts and eras of miraculous that didn't make through canon (like from the PV, quantic kids, etc etc), and adapt them to fit some storylines.

I think those are the ones I'm most certainly going to add:

I think there's no confirmation on who is the first character, but there are some speculations that she was originally supposed to be Sabine. So I'm going to use her design for Sabine's sister (that is mentioned in hack San, the Shangai special etc) and, since Sabine was apparently supposed to be a lawyer at that time, I'll also be giving this role to her sister.

The second one was supposed to be the police captain, and since (I think) Roger isn't the police CAPTAIN, I'm also going to add him. Though I have some storylines already planned for him, I'm very scared to accidentally make him just like a spiderman police captain but without any interesting additions to it (and make him just be generic and boring) lol, so many stuff could change. And I'll definitely not remove Roger, so who knows, maybe in the future I'll give his plotlines to Roger (though I don't think some of them would really fit him well)

And there's also this guy:

Who was apparently supposed to be marinette's uncle from Tom's part of the family, and that teached her some martial arts? So I'm still thinking if I should add him or not (though I think having someone to teach Marinette how to fight would be nice, but I think that's also kinda fu's job hahah so who knows)

Anyways, I think these are the ones I have thought the most about adding, thought about some plotlines and etc. If an old character doesn't get a role, I'll probably just use them as background characters to fill small roles, etc.

In the end, I'm kinda scared of adding way TOO MUCH characters, specially since most characters from the specials are also gonna have (new and different) roles- and there's many seasons and specials coming that will likely have many new characters that could give me interesting ideas. So everything will be rethought, eventually.

But yeah, while I won't be adding any OCs, I'll definitely be adding characters that aren't in canon (but that were official at some point) hahah
