Buzzy Bee

Here she is! (Finally. Sorry she took so long to put out.) Ella as the Bee! She’s a real little bugger… hehe. Sorry.

But yeah, I had fun with this one—it was a little tricky because for some reason side Profile is hard for me to draw, but I did it, and I think it looks pretty good. :) Um… let’s see, I imagine that Buzzy would be a bit of a lose cannon, and she’d sting people just because it’s fun. And Pollen and probably spoils her. Just saying.

Ladybird Doodles

Just some funny doodles of Ladybird (Emilie as Ladybug,) bc it’s been too long since I drew her.

Mattagot

Meet Black Cat Gabriel Agreste, otherwise known as Mattagot. I imagine the dynamic between him and Lady Luck would be somewhat similar to that of Bat Man and Superman—with Sabine being the moral leader with a heart too big to make some hard decisions, while Mattagot is the practical decision maker that will views the world through a darker lens. Fu selects Gabriel when Gabriel gives up his seat to Fu on a train without hesitating, and without theatrics. Fu initiates a short conversation with Gabriel in which he learns of Gabriel’s lasting love for his deceased wife. This was the design that made the most sense for him thematically, and was based off of his appearance in Ephemeral with the Cat Miraculous. I know it’s not exactly anything new, but I wanted him to look like a darker hero, more morally ambiguous than Lady Luck. After all, it is his desires for the return of his wife that are influencing the actions of this story’s main antagonist.

Lady Luck

Okay, so my adults-as-heroes AU has a name now—tales of Lady Luck and Mattagot, or the Lady Luck AU, for short. Here’s our Heroine—Sabine Dupain Cheng, also known as Lady Luck! (Btw, this is for the same AU that Violeon and Foulette come from.) Mysterious Villain attacks are befalling Paris, and it’s up to Lady Luck to save everyone. With some help, of course, but I haven’t drawn Mattagot yet, so his blurb comes later. Fu chooses Sabine as the Ladybug holder after he sees her saying goodbye to Marinette as she leaves for her first day of school. He has a feeling about Sabine, so he goes in to buy some bread, then purposefully falls on his way out the door. Of course, Sabine goes above and beyond helping him, even going so far as to offer him assistance getting home. So yeah. I like her. I imagine she’d be an amazing superhero, and I always wanted to draw her as one, so this is my excuse. Not that I need one, but if you’re gonna do it, why not AU it, right? Aaaaaaanyways. Here’s a rough sketch of her from the back:

I didn’t color it in though, because art supplies are expensive…. And it would have taken ages.

Miraculous Mew Mew fanart

So I know it’s an old AU, and Cochineal is the big thing on @nionom-art right now, but I loved the concept and the art a lot. I’ve actually never watched Tokyo Mew Mew before, but I love magical girls, and I had this particular scene in my head for a long time, so I finally decided to post it. I hope it looks alright—I was using a lot of techniques I’ve never tried before—but yeah. Just to clarify, this is fan art for @nionom-art and their Miraculous Mew Mew Au. :)

So yeah.

Fuzzie Fox

Wow, I actually got this done today.

So here’s Etta as the Fox holder. I imagine her causing all sorts of trouble with her illusion powers, maybe trying to use them to get out of trouble by blaming it all on the Sapotis. Her and Trixx would probably honestly get along a little too well.

As a side note, I keep coming up with a bunch of cool sounding names for these guys—then I remember that they’re kids and that they have no class. I know way too many second graders at this point to think otherwise. So her name is an adjective and the literal animal that she is. Sigh. Because it probably would be.

This one took me a bit longer to draw because I wasn’t sure how to capture her personality as well as the others so far. She’s pretty much indistinguishable from her twin, so I also wanted to keep that as a thing while giving her subtle differences. Also, while I was drawing her I forgot about the white tummy section and had already water colored her in, and so that’s why her tummy looks more grey than white. I was considering pretending that was intentional, but I’m just happy I managed to get that much opacity with White watercolor, because watercolors don’t really get lighter easier once they’ve been applied.

Violeon and Foulette

I know it’s not an update for the Minnie miraculous series, but I’ve been having some difficulty with the twins designs, so they’re taking a bit longer than Cat Man and Princess Ladybug did. For now, though, here’s some concept art for Villain Marinette and Adrien as the Peacock and Butterfly. This is concept art for a sort of reverse AU to Minnie Miraculous, where all the Adults are heroes, and these two get to be the antagonists of the series.

The general idea is that Gabriel doesn’t know Adrien is a Sentimonster in this AU, and Emilie created Adrien on her own. Grieving the loss of his wife, Gabriel begins carrying around the ring he gave her when the two of them were engaged, (the singular ring that Emilie used in this AU to house Adrien’s Amok,) and starts unknowingly feeding Adrien his sadness and desires to have his wife return. These desires corrupt Adrien, and he ends up finding and using the Butterfly miraculous in order to try and retrieve the Ladybug and Cat miraculous for the purpose of bringing Emilie back to life.

As for Marinette, without the Ladybug miraculous and Tikki to encourage her, she ends up feeling isolated and lacking in confidence at school, too scared to make friends or stand up to Chloe. (She has Alya, but is sure that Alya is afraid to open up to her because she doesn’t want to ruin what the two of them have.) She has a crush on Adrien though, and senses some of the same loneliness in him that she feels. Eventually, after spending a whole lot of time obsessively following him around, she finds out about his secret identity as Violeon, and, empathizing with his drive to bring his mother back, dons the Peacock miraculous and becomes Foulette in an attempt to be a part of his life.

So yeah, those are my villains. Both put their own desires second in order to please someone else, becoming corrupted by the need to be needed. Of course for Adrien he doesn’t realize it.

Oh, and yes, Marinette realizes pretty quickly that Adrien is a Sentimonster, and manages to track down his Amok. It takes her a while to figure out what it all means though, as she’s new to the Peacock miraculous and its powers. She’s in pretty deep before she pieces together what’s going on, and even longer before she’s brave enough to try and fix things.

But anyway, yeah. That’s them. :) I like them—they were both pretty fun to design, and I’m relatively happy with the results.

Cat Man

Thanks so much for 1000 notes on the original post guys—I’ve never had so many people seeing and sharing my art before. Honestly it’s a little terrifying. But I’m so grateful! I’m glad you like my silly sketches. I feel like if Bat Man existed in the Ladybug universe, or something similarly edgy, that would be Chris’s favorite thing ever. He probably likes edgy stuff, and watches shows that are too grown up for him without understanding the nuance. I imagine him posing dramatically and stuff to try and look cool, saying edgy stuff to the villains like “You went bad because you tried to be good.” With absolutely no clue what that means. He’d just say it to sound cool. And before anyone says it, yes, I know he looks like a PJ mask.

And yeah, there are cooler names than Cat Man, but I wanted the name to be symbolic of Chris’s perception of himself—that he’s an adult rather than a kid. He probably thinks he’s way more mature than the other super kids. He’s not.

as a side note, I imagine him creating dark backstories for himself about his dead family or his grudge against his sister’s killer, or something equally silly. :)

Princess Ladybug (from the Minnie Miraculous AU)

So basically I just named her what I thought a kid would probably call themself. I imagine Manon being mad because Tikki won’t give her the Lucky Charms she wants and throwing tantrums over it. Otherwise she’s a good superhero (kinda,) and she tries her best to help people, (usually.) Really I think she just likes the costume. Heh.

Also, thank you guys so much for all the engagement on the last post—you guys are so nice and so creative! I love all the ideas you guys had, and your comments were so positive. :) I hope you like how this one turned out—I was having trouble with her sling and her hair color a bit, but I think it turned out pretty good. Also, I know it’s kind of hard to see in the upper right corner, but her miraculous in disguised form looks like flower earrings. I thought that would be cute.

Fun AU idea for Miraculous

So like…. Miraculous, but small. I thought, what if Master Fu was trying to make power ups without the grimoir and accidentally did something that age locked all the miraculous, making it so that they can only be used by elementary schoolers? (All except the Turtle, cuz he was wearing it.) I know, it makes no sense, but like….

Miraculous. But small. Really I just wanted Manon as Ladybug. And just the idea of Marinette as the Turtle running around and trying to coral all these little kids with superpowers while trying to fight Akkumas is just… really really funny to me. So yeah—you’ve got Chris as the cat and Alya’s twin sisters as the Fox and the Bee. And that’s the ida. :)

Happy Late Thanksgiving!!!

You know, I think I sometimes have a tendency to critique more than I praise. There's a lot of good in the world, but because I'm so focused on being right sometimes, I often fail to notice it. So today, I wanted to post about some of the things I'm really grateful for:

I'm really grateful for this platform and how it connects people, as well as every one of the fan-bases that has thrived because of it. It's amazing that everyone is able to share and discuss media that they love here.

I'm also so grateful for the diversity of opinions on this platform, including and especially the ones I don't agree with.

Lastly, I've had trouble in the past with head-cannons because I don't always agree with them, but I've recently grown to see them as an important part of a thriving fan-base. The point of engaging with media isn't to see it as exactly what the author intended--it's to see ourselves in it and use it to help us better understand the world around us. In fact, I think I love head-cannons now because they help me see the media I consume in a totally different way.

Keep making this platform great! Everyone here has such a wonderful energy for their respective Fandoms, and I'm so happy that this is a place for people to connect.

Will he fit?

just a dumb idea I had that I needed to draw
