#Ladybug redesign

[sillygoofylittleartist]

And here they are together. It took me a while to settle on designs for these ones, especially for ladybug but im pretty happy with what I got to in the end.

first attempt at a Ladybug redesign, still not 100% satisfied with this one, might try again some other time

I haven’t drawn a full illustration in a while but here’s something more finished! Full render of my ladybug design for my pv au~

I am going crazy for this Le Paon design. I thought I’d make her look all sickly and mentally ill because of the broken miraculous but this is also heavily inspired by by that one au (by @mirrorroad ) where emilie is a horror actress and I literally lost my mind.

So she’s a little deranged but that’s what we love about her.

Part 1 of the unifications.

Hey remember when I said I was planning to change some of the names when they were truly egregious? This is what I meant.

So we have (from left to right) Dragonfly, Viper Noir, Shadow Moth (they still call him Hawkmoth), and Ladybee.

Dragon-bug was a stupid name, I know they were saving Lady Dragon for Shanghai but that doesn't mean we give up all together guys. Dragonfly just makes more sense.

I know I'm not the first to say that the Ladybug Dragon unification was great. It's actually one of my favorites. It showed off how good the Ladybug, and by extension Marinette, could look if the artist put a tad more effort into her suit. I definitely deviated pretty far here, push the dragon elements, like giving her two horns. The big ones on the side of her head and the little ones that attach to her antennae. The boots, and tail elements which were super fun to draw. And finally drawing Mari with her hair down because it looked cool.

Viper Noir just to add a bit more spice to Snake Noir's name. I almost called him Black Mamba but wasn't entirely sold. So that's that. I didn't give Aspik or Viperion a hood because I was saving it for this, much more Chat's style than Aspik was. The cat ears on the hood were a pain to make look right but turned out cute. And now they both have gold accent's! look how matchy they are.

I am forever on the fence about if I like Shadow Moth's design but I can't really begrudge the name? It's alright- it certainly feels very Gabriel, a man who has a track record of bad naming skills. I figure most still call him Hawkmoth though. I actually designed both Shadow Moth and Hawkmoth at the same time, so the plan was to always add Peacok feathers to the head and the double tailcoat. I almost based him on an actual peacock butterfly but changed my mind.

Just know that the additional feathers are just as painful as the butterfly wings. And now there is more! Hooray! Hawkmoth suffers!

And Lady Bee, this one felt easier than I expected because I already had Honey Bee. I might go back and fix her eyes though, they’re a bit uncanny rn.

(Bonus)

Blue Dragonfly to go with Ry-blu-ko

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.

my ladybug redesign / rewrite:

marinette and ladybug are very different in personality and aura, something marinette struggles with. ladybug is confident, sure in herself, and thrives in the publics attention, all things marinette is the opposite of. ladybug must learn to stand up for herself, as well as have a life balance that fits herself. not to mention trying to balance all this and her growing crush on her partner (and probably best friend), chat noir.

Weirdly this is my first finished drawing of my Ladybug redesign in a style that isn’t my usual. This was an exercise in a more cartoony style to use for when I want to draw quicker and I was just figuring out how I wan to render and colour it.

My next personal project that isn’t commissions, portfolio etc. is to redesign Chat Noir/Adrien and something I won’t say in case I don’t do it! (;
