hiiii. The Painted Lady* design variations (now all featuring her silly antennae!)
okay for real though! I wanted to try some variants after making the right-most design to be more akin to the canon's design principles since I also felt like it wasn't really conveying the sort of Mourning/Wedding duality I initially wanted for her - which, it's fine if the concept changes, but then the veil probably would need to go at some point, yknow?
under the cut I'll give some notes about the 4 designs, broken up by isolated images of them
CONTEXT: The Painted Lady AU (or tplau) is a swap AU in which Gabriel used the Peacock, leaving Emilie to try to bring him back. Scouting Paris transformed has given her a sort of cryptid status, both an unnerving unknown figure at first yet oddly beautiful. Paris's own Mothman, they dubbed her The Painted Lady before she got down to business.
*I know "The Painted Lady" is kind of a mouthful, I haven't decided what to call her for short yet tbh. my instincts always have me call her "Painty" but idk if she'd appreciate that so I usually pivot to "Lady"
as for the designs! from left to right, we have her original design, a hybridized design, her original with a Few tweaks, and the "more but not quite canon compliant" design from a while back
Original Design
Her veil goes from dark purple/off black at the top to white at the bottom in reference to mourning And wedding veils. I like to think the dark part covering her eyes is symbolic of her being blinded by her tragedy, unable to reach the light just beneath her gaze... but that's maybe a stretch. In any case, her skirt mimics this color pattern for the same reason, and the cut of it all is meant to invoke weddings
The flower crown brings back some of her gold contrast (like her sash and cane) and breaks things up. Unfortunately, I go back and forth on if I like it at all, because it sometimes feels juvenile to me.
The antennae are there because she's a butterfly
... Okay, they're also there because I like them. They might be fake now, though. In any case, they help push her Cryptid silhouette.
A lesser note and subject to change, they tie her Butterfly design to the Adrien's Ladybug designs I've made where he, too, has silly curly antennae (rather Unlike a ladybug...) and I like the idea of a tie
Her wings are there for similar reasons as the antennae, but are more likely to change/be removed. Here, they're also meant to look cape-like, and flow from her capelet that's otherwise an aesthetic choice, as well as a way to break up some monotony
More Mindful of Canon Design
(This is the rightmost design on the original image, but it's going here for Context)
Her veil and wings/cape have been trimmed. Since the show is 3D, they don't tend to have a lot of loose fabric. She's pushing it, still
To that end, she has pants! You can also see her impractical heels
I wouldn't give 90% of the cast heels when transformed, but Emilie... well. It's Emilie.
The flower crown has been replaced with a silver tiara to try a different, less invasive look. It's silver because I felt a bun would fit the crown better, but that meant it couldn't be silver with her blonde hair (and I haven't gotten around to experimenting with her hair or skin)
Antennae are back! Popular demand (me + 2 cool mutuals)
The Hybrid Design
The shorter veil is here again for a Hint of canon adherence, and it does have a shape that reminds me of butterfly wings
Her crown is gold now that I've put her hair back down, in hopes of a more even color distribution
Most obviously, her "dress" is a little bit more coat like, like canon Mayura's. It opens in the front above the knees to reveal dark pants/leggings and white boots that are cut to again reference butterfly wings
The capelet follows the last design's principles as to not clutter fabric or dip into real wing territory
The Tweaked Design
The return of the longer veil, because I like the color distribution better. I also was concerned that the shorter veil took away from the duality, so I wanted to try the longer veil again
Instead of the flower crown, a gold crown ornaments the veil. Again, her hair is down again so I hope the color distribution works
Her capelet is the same as the last two, for a cleaner silhouette and is frankly one of the biggest tweaks here
Other than that, her long, floor-length skirt is here again because I don't know if the hybrid design or the pants read Wedding/Mourning Duality quite as well
If you read all this, thanks for sticking around! I'd love to fuss with her design more and see which one people are more drawn to, but I've liked these so far! Maybe one day I'll even settle on a design and get to other characters
Girl, my assessment class is kicking me in the buuuuuuut! Legit I have to write up a 11-13 page case study for a special education referral but I have 16 pages right now and I can’t figure out how to condense it without loosing important information and get this I’m still missing information like-
Seeing your recent posts, I'm honestly feeling like the only reason Alix didn't suggest Adrien for a miraculous to Fu is because he's the son of Hawkmoth/a sentimonster, which isn't something Adrien could have known, predicted or controlled. Marinette is still on the list, and yet there have been plenty of timelines where she's caused major issues (using the ladybug miraculous to break and enter into her crush's room? Canon her losing all the miraculous to Monarch, or the Giant Lie she's recently created and spread with her power as Ladybug? )
Even if one likes Marinette you do have to admit she has made some serious blunders with the miraculous. Even if she doesn't have that miraculous now, she still was suggested for one of the most powerful miraculous in the miracle box, maybe as a lesson for growth? And yet Adrien is acting more like a hero than Coccinella, which again, isn't hard, but still. It kind of feels like Alix suggested Marinette out of loyalty to her being a friend, and while we don't know the reason she suggested Lila as a wielder for the ladybug miraculous, I'm really curious on why she didn't suggest Adrien, or discouraged Fu from picking him. If it's for the Hawkmoth/sentimonster reason, again, Adrien has no control or knowledge over that. If it's for how many times he was akumatized, those happened in alternate timelines that were either destroyed or fixed, meaning they never happened, and the common thread wasn't the miraculous, it was his father. And those timelines don't apply to this timeline. It's almost as if Alix has some sort of beef with Adrien, at least, that's the way I'm reading it. To trust Lila over Adrien? Someone she knows lies with each breath?
Tldr: I know you can't tell us why Alix and Fu chose Lila, but are you able to tell us why Alix discouraged Fu from choosing Adrien? That is, if it doesn't cross into spoiler territory. In which I'm fine with it being a mystery.
Aha, nope! Sorry that’s definitely a spoiler. It will be answered in comic though. Technically though, Bunnyx didn’t discourage Fu from choosing anyone per se, she just told him who to choose.
I wonder how Coccinella/Lila would interact with a male holder(Adrien or someone else) instead of Noire. Would she listen to him? Respect him more? If it is Adrien, she can’t work with insecurity/lack of confidence, since Chat Noir is the embodiment of confidence lmao
Just some thoughts
I think that they would have just as poor of a dynamic, just in a different way. Like, Chat Noir wouldn’t have the same self esteem issues as Noire, and he would be more willing to go with Coccinella’s plans than Noire is.
But. Adrien is also a manipulator, actually. He would clock Coccinella so fast it’s not even funny. And he would play her game, against her. I think it would get passive aggressive and all around ugly fast between the two of them.
More Ducktails Separated AU? More likely than you’d think.
This time it’s June and May- in this AU, Heron went a little more ham, and created June and May shortly after April. One mishap lead to another, however, and eventually at around 2 years old May and June found their way into Daisy’s care. Daisy has been doing her best to raise them as her own and keep them out of FOWL’s grasp. I think Daisy used to work for FOWL in this au, which is how she got ahold of the girls in the first place.
