So I tweaked my self insert and gave her a full body design in the process!

I'm very very happy with her design and I hope to write some more about her at some point after the holidays (shudders, having to work almost every day next week) if anyone is interested!

[phantom-howls]

What started as a doodle just ended up being a design update so... here ya go lol. Starting with the AU that lives rent free in my brain and constantly reminds me it exists. This is Randy from the Revenant AU.

OH BOY is Revenant angsty. If yall would like to know more feel free to ask! Prolly gonna doodle more too hehe

I'ma just throw this here of Samurai Series of Rei and be on my way-

Me struggling to remember how I did Rei's body proportions at like midnight drawing this because I want her an average teenager body type and not Serena's body type

I have noticed I am actually getting better at drawing clothes, because like in the past I could barely draw decent clothes besides a shirt and pants for crap and here I am yay

So I watched RC9GN and I kept thinking about how Spider-Man coded he was

I’ve thought about this a lot so here’s some pieces of lore I’ve come up with:

There were other spider ninjas but every time they die,(whether it be from natural causes or injuries) the ninjanomicon disappears

The ninjanomicon disappears for years while it searches for a new city protector

It has a bookmark that has a spider on the end. When it finds a new protector, the spider comes to life and bites the unsuspecting stranger. It then crawls back to the book and becomes inanimate again. Then, the ninjanomicon magically appears for the soon to be hero

Howard finds out he’s the spiderninja in a way similar to the show. He says he knows Randy’s secret(talking about something completely different), Randy misinterprets it, and then reveals himself

Howard then becomes Randy’s “guy in the chair”

And so what if I did spend the last three almost consecutive hours drawing art of Howard Weinerman From The Hit Disney XD Show Randy Cunningham Ninth Grade Ninja what are you gonna do huh you gonna narc

[eddo-tensei]

I know this is likely made for goofs, but while I could just shill for RC9GN here, I think it's better to instead point out that both of these shows borrow a lot from older stuff.

The first and most obvious influence on both of these shows is Spider-Man. Red-clad superheroes swinging about cities can be traced back to the webslinger. It's a lot easier to see with Ladybug than the Ninja, but the Ninja's scarf somewhat evokes that image and Randy is basically a slacker version of Peter Parker, quips and all. Ladybug also quips, but it's more obvious with Randy. Basically, you could say these two are what happens when you split Spidey down the middle in personality.

That said, in terms of influence, Randy Cunningham is baked with references to old karate and kung-fu films. Karate Kid and Way of the Dragon are especially notable influences you could trace this show to. The martial arts craze of the 80s pretty much made the way for plenty of cartoons in the 2000s and early 2010s. If you're wondering why the town is called Norrisville and why Burce is such a common phrase in this show, look at Way of the Dragon. Early in production, the town was even originally called Macchio Falls. Of course, other Disney cartoons like Jake Long could be seen as possible precursors to Randy, but I'm just throwing out some old stuff. Speaking of old stuff...

Two major influences you could easily trace Miraculous to are Sailor Moon and Kamen Rider. @crimson-ace-reviews may be able to point out the similarities better than I could, but even a casual like me could see where the influences could come from with these two. While tokusatsu didn't start with Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider did start what was known as the Henshin Boom where many shows about transforming heroes became massively popular. While you could easily just say Miraculous just borrowed the bug aesthetic from Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider was also among one of the big tokusatsu shows to codify the "monster of the week" premise that not only Miraculous would follow, but also RC9GN and Sailor Moon before it. That said, Sailor Moon could also be just influential if not moreso to Miraculous than Kamen Rider is, giving us a significant focus on the life of the heroine while also showing them kick ass.

Overall, while you could easily debate about how whether or not Miraculous took from RC9GN (Both shows did start production around the same time, mind you), we should always remember that everything borrows a part from something else.

Anyways, uh, please watch Randy Cunningham Ninth Grade Ninja? I'd also tell you to watch Miraculous, but the latest season had made it incredibly difficult to recommend. Still, maybe watch the first two or three seasons of that show before pretending that Seasons 4 and 5 don't exist. That's probably the best way to do that.

Oh, and watch Kamen Rider and Sailor Moon. Those shows deserve to be seen at least once. If you want to know where to start with those, again, talk to @crimson-ace-reviews.

not to talk my shit on main or anything but Miraculous Ladybug totally robbed its entire formula and episode structure from Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja and nobody talks about it.

randy doodle

[damnautus]

uhhh cringe is dead have a doodle of my self insert!

[random-headcannons-and-aus]

basically the first episode

Nomicon: Just stay calm. You already have everything you need to beat it.

Randy: The power to believe in myself?

Nomicon: No, a sword! Stab it! 

[siren-darkocean]

So with enough mental imaging for what a year? Two years now? I finally made a scene from Ninth Grade Samurai draft chapter of Monster Dump which in my fic is chapter nine!

I was especially proud of myself with this for in line work with pencil because how good Rei was looking, I was having a bit of trouble with the hands and the mask but I'm so proud how it turned out in the end!

This was actually my first time drawing a Japanese face arciture without a base and I'm so proud of it especially the expression too even if I was using an anime girl for reference

Rei's hair flying like that along with Randy's jacket is to reference the sudden turn to press their backs against the other

[incredipuppy]

I started watching the silly ninja show

[jigsawcheeks]
