Oh look! It's another redesign!
Here, have this little illustration based on my Ladybug/Chat Noir re-designs, that I've been slaving away at for the past month (we're just gonna ignore the fact that I started plotting out the costumes and sketched the pose a year ago lol). I know, I know. A redesign? Very original. But hey I haven't done it yet, so that makes it different ok😝!
(Gosh, I usually don't post sketches, I feel like this is exposing all my drawing weaknesses lol)
These are some of the first doodles I did. For Marinette I basically looked at some traditional Qui Pao and Hanfu dresses for inspiration and mixed and matched details I liked. I also gave her these little skirt flaps (?? whatever you want to call it) to symbolise the ladybug wings and kept the spots concentrated there. All in all I actually immediately knew what I wanted to do with her costume and pretty much just kept to my first draft, but what really gave me trouble was the hair somehow. I really wanted to incorporate actual antennae (I just think it's cute🤧!!!!) but it got too crowded up there so I had to let them go eventually🥺. In the end I settled for her twin tails pulled up instead of down. To make it look more distinct from her civilian form the idea was also that her hair colour changes to black after the transformation.
Chat Noir on the other hand was so difficult😭😭😭. I honestly like the original design soo much it was hard to think about alternatives. I wanted something that matched better with my new Ladybug, but I don't think I succeeded much. Also I hyperfocused on giving him this little scarf/oversized collar thing in my first doodles because I thought it looked cool and ended up scrapping it because the little bell is just too iconic not to keep lol. As you can tell from the final illustration there is actually not all that much that made it into the final version, except for the sheer sleeves, the shoes, the claw marks and some neon green details. I also ended up giving both of them some gold accents to make them match a bit more. As with Marinette, the idea is that Adrien's hair changes colour a bit after transforming too. So I envision Adrien having more of the smooth platinum blond in his civillian form and a more brown-ish dirty blond as Chat Noir, to go for the whole stray cat look lol.
I might come back to this one day, to re-do their civilian forms too or make these costumes more practical rather than just focusing on aesthetics (But hey if the show does this than I am allowed too😂!)

okay this might just be a me thing, but does anyone else ever have to pause while watching a show or reading a book so you can *process*? I feel like when I am really emotionally attached to any of the media I am enjoying, I have to take little breaks so I don’t combust.
I watched an episode of Doctor Who earlier and paused it twice to pace around the room because I had so many emotions 😌

Fair warning to everyone who follows me: I get early access to The Wingfeather Saga season 2 tonight (first 3 episodes). I would never intentionally spoil it for anyone and will always tag my spoilers as "wingfeather spoilers" and/or "wingfeather saga tv show spoilers". I'll also put any potential spoiler-y things under a readmore like usual.
This also means I'll probably be posting about it more. The first 3 episodes are going to be shown tonight as part of a livestream but I think that after tonight I'll only be able to rewatch episode 1 on the site until next week when ep. 2 releases etc. So you won't be flooded by 300 screenshots all at once (probably).
Season 2 will cover the first half of book 2 so that should give you a pretty good idea of what parts of the book these episodes will be covering if you've read the books.
