I finished the pretty gorls ON TIME!

2022 Version

2021 Version

(I'm also going to reblog them right after this is posted)

I'm gonna ramble under the cut about the designs n stuff but you can scroll past that to get to the timelapse if u want.

@jotg-miraculousrewriteau is where you'll see any updates about this story/au/rewrite I have going on if you get interested. It'll take some time before I get around to writing it but I'll be trying to draw more. I'll list some reasons for why I haven't gotten much out recently under the cut. Not abandoning the au tho!

This one was a STRUGGLE and part of it was because I still liked last year's and because my interest in ml has taken a back burner with other interests BARGING IN this year.

Not to say that I don't want to work on my rewrite anymore, but I'm probably gonna do some more rewatching so I can get fully back into it again. I can't really plop down what I've come up with for the rewrite and be satisfied anyway, so I'm stuck until I get the thing written and drawn.

THAT ASIDE, I changed up their posing again and included updates to the character design. I don't know if what I've drawn Marinette in here will stick for her redesign as far as outfits are concerned, but I don't really like the previous outfit I gave her anymore so I needed to work with something new.

Overall I like how this turned out, even if I'm a bit unsure abt other areas.

Specifics: Once again, I liked coloring and drawing Marinette more which shouldn't be a surprise since I have more to work with in her design. I made the foolish mistake of not including her freckles in the past, so now I'm amending for that. She's sort of matching her bf now.

I included some lore bits abt Tikki and Marinette's complicated relationship here that I haven't talked abt before. Marinette is not doing anything to Tikki intentionally, but I have a plot line in the story I have planned that involves how the kwamis went from deities to kwamis. Got caged in the miraculous. And the consequences that follow.

INcluding Marinette and Tikki gaining a strained relationship for the majority of the story.

But that's all I'll say on that for now.

You might notice Marinette's skintone has changed a bit from other redesigns. What happened was, when I was first coming up with ideas for the rewrite, I was going off of critisysms I saw a lot and noting them down. One, was that Mari didn't look like she was biracial and her skin tone should reflect that. Now. I was young and figured "Oh okay! So. Lets look up what average chinese skintones are!" ...I found the racist color swatches that got pretty close to yellow and I ignorantly changed her skin tone to that.

So! Now her skin tone is closer to canon's and I've decided anything about her heritage isn't something I'll tackle in my rewrite/au since I'm not qualified. I still have some things I've changed so she looks similar to both parents, but no more of that skin tone.

Lol I didn't get the timelapse started until the basic sketches were completed

Flustered bamboozled in love idiots. And a little bit of the future, where they are still in love idiots.

Also hair is fun to draw as I listen to the audio book of "Renegades" by marissa meyer

I'm enjoying it.

Ichigo Kurosaki but as Cat Noir

Well, his name is actually Hell Cat, but that’s not important. Basically I’m trying to design an Ichigo Kurosaki superhero look based on a black cat. This is for a Miraculous Ladybug AU, so he’d have the same power source as Cat Noir from the show.

I’d liked the green highlights from Lady Noire’s suit (who is Ladybug but with Cat Noir’s powers), but I worry I might have gone too far on some of the looks. Number 3 was my original design actually, and the others are variations, some of which I like better than the original.

Some choices I plan on keeping are the jacket and the tail. The jacket is cropped, and I’m keeping this as a vague reference to season 1 of Bleach where Ichigo just wore crop tops. The tail has a chain segment in the middle which is supposed to tie back to Zangetsu.

(I promise these are just mock-ups to get the design and coloring right, it will look much better when I actually work on it)

I’d also love to hear your thoughts on why you picked which option you did.

Or if you liked some aspects of multiple, please let me know what you think.

Heroic Harlem

Noelle finally walked into her room, not exactly expecting to find the Bee Miracle box so soon. She was a bit panicked thinking she was late to an akuma attack, so she quickly opened up the box, freeing the kwami inside.

"Pollen! Is there already another akuma attack? Who is it?" Pollen stretched a bit, her little limbs flailing before she answered simply and shortly. "No." Noelle's face contorted into confusion. "No? Then…what are you doing here?" Pollen smiled. "You've been invited to a party!!" Noelle blinked. "A..party..? With my miraculous..? Why?" Pollen huffed, throwing her arms across her chest. "Ladybell wants you to get familiar with the other miraculous users and Master Chelsea. She says you all need some 'down time' together that doesn't involve fighting an akuma."

"…Who?" Pollen groaned. "Just say the words, girl."

Noelle landed in front of a nicely sized building. She wasn't sure whose it was but something was definitely going on in there, so she assumed pollen was right. She reluctantly knocked on the door. There was a short pause before the door swung open, and Ladybug ambushed her in a tight hug. "You came!"

Noelle froze, not exactly expecting to be embraced so soon. "Uh, yeah. I did.." Ladybell pulled her into the building, where she could hear Taylor Swift already playing. "Cat threw a tantrum for this, didn't he?" Ladybell facepalmed, nodding. Noelle sighed. "Typical."

The two talked for a while before Noelle remembered something Pollen had said. "Hey, Pollen mentioned something about someone you wanted me to meet." Ladybell gasped in excitement, her pigtails flying upwards slightly. "Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot to introduce you to Master Chelsea! Come, she should be in another room making some tea!"

Noelle allowed Ladybell to briefly drag her across the house before they reached a certain room, the scent of chamomile tea and…something else hitting her nose. She looked around for a moment before her eyes zeroed in on an elderly woman stirring a pot. The woman turned around, her expression neutral at first until her eyes widened.

Noelle did not know what to expect, but she definitely did not expect the woman to be THIS old. Chelsea wiped her palms on her apron before walking over. "Ah, there you are. I see you've made work with the Bee miraculous. I am very impressed." Noelle was silent for a moment, still processing this woman's age and aura before nodding. "I…thank you.."

Chelsea grinned for a moment, but went back to her neutral expression. Everything fell silent for a second, which led Chelsea to raise an eyebrow. "Is there a problem?"

"Yeah, uh how old are you exactly?" Noelle asked bluntly. Ladybell turned her head, about to say something about Noelle's audacity before Chelsea smirked. "187 years old."

"You're kidding, right?" Noelle asked, not believing her for a second. Chelsea's grin grew smug. "Wanna see my birth certificate?"

When Chelsea pulled out the documents, all Noelle could do was stare. She wanted to say it had to be fake, but the paper looked like if she blew on it too much, it would turn to dust. "Um…"

"Do ya believe me now?" Chelsea asked, looking down at her with a wide grin. "I guess so." Noelle said, still staring at the date of birth. Chelsea put the paper back. "Now, what's this I hear about you revealing your secret identity?"

Noelle froze, her heart increasing in speed. "I..It was an accident..I only told one person…" Chelsea chuckled, briefly turning the boiling tea in the pot. "It's alright, kid." She set the spoon onto the counter before walking back over to Noelle, putting a tight hand on her shoulder. "Make no such mistake ever again. You hear?"

Noelle swallowed, trying to stay calm. "I promise…" Chelsea smiled, looking cheerful again. "Wonderful!" She zipped back over to the tea, turning the stove off. Noelle didn't want to disturb her in fear she'd be waterboarded, so she headed back to the common area. Black Cat was already sleeping, typical. Ladybell was still playing with the bell on his neck, careful not to wake him. Foxtrot was still preparing for the big back Olympics as Jaded Turtle drank some sprite.

"I can tell this is going to be an amazing chapter of my life." Noelle said semi-sarcastically as she walked over to get a drink, hoping her parents wouldn't register her disappearance as a declaration of terrorism.

People who have been here for a year, remember this? :)

I reblogged the post from a year ago a couple days ago but if not 2021 version is right here

Update: 2023 Version Here

The designs for Ladybelle and Marinette's redesigns have changed a little but the colors remain similar. I got to play around a little more with how the colors fit with the background/overall color palette in a way. I like it much more than last years, more dull colors lol

It was fun to change up the poses to be more dynamic! I'm really happy with how it turned out

Here's to 2023, hopefully it won't suck too badly and I'll actually get started WRITING this AU/Rewrite!

I'm gonna continue posting these redraws on my main account instead of the @jotg-miraculousrewriteau even though these drawings are for the jotg au

As usual there should be a timelapse of this on Instagram's version, I will update this if the timelapse doesn't work

Guess who tried out some new coloring methods? Adrien and Marinette were colored with the Wet blotting ink on CSP and I think Kagami's was one of the water coloring tools available.

Plus some sketches cause I felt like doing more. How did it go from cute Adrinette to panik I don't know.

What's IMPORTANT to note is that I am getting around to coming up with ideas for season 1's episodes which was very exciting today!! I haven't had good inspiration in a bit there WOO
