I needed some references for an Evillustrator cosplay idea, so step 1, I took a bunch of screenshots and thought I’d share some for anyone else you might need them too. Some of the images are kind of small since they are cropped to be of just him even if he was only in 10% of the screen.

There’s a shot of his face and chest decal.Full body front and back with some sides to make a sort of rotation view of the costume.

There there’s his tablet and stylus to help recreate those as well, along with the card gifted to Marinette.

Paris Twilight by Ravus4001 on dA, and I’m surprised I never shared it on tumblr, it was one of the first arts for Miraculous Ladybug I did.

I don’t have much to say about it. I think Chat Noir’s legs came out well, but that probably sounds weird. Cris-crossing legs like that is hard and that animation style is skinny so it was an adjustment. I was also really unsure how to go about the hair in 2d. I spent a lot of time on it and I think it came out alright.

This artwork was in honor of the official English release on the Nickeloeon network.

Just the individual heroes from my latest fanart, but without the background and power stones, because I want these on my page.

Ladybug is powering up, about to lay down some hurt.

Chat Noir does a superhero landing, ready to protect Ladybug while she powers up.

Watermarked for both of my pages again.

Just try to get through them now, Hawkmoth.

Just try.

I've been wanting to draw something like this for Miraculous Ladybug for a while. Something with Ladybug all powered up and Chat Noir with her in some way, maybe a part of the power, maybe not. The yin and yang things in front of her is her yoyo split in half with the insides pointed out. The purple yin and yang circle behind her and the glowing eyes are a reference to the ultimate power mentioned in the Miraculous book seen in Volpina. The five stones are around her are "power stones" as a reference to something else, but I won't say what yet, since there is no information besides a general concept.

Also on dA: [shared and cross-posted by me]

Do not repost or archive without permission. Like, reblog, or fav on dA.

Edit: I made some small adjustments to the image. Like Chat’s mouth wasn’t showing up so I darkened it.

(Cross-posted by me, the artist.) You all know coffee shop aus, so I bring you a fast food au! aka mcdonalds au or mgronalds au for those that get that reference (Hataraku Maou-sama!). Marinette got the job because of her food handling experience, but she is very distracted with Adrien around. Nino is helping (he works the drive-thru window and sometimes a little of everything else). Why is Adrien working there? Idk, maybe he wants to try something besides modeling. He’s almost always works the front counter (and so now Chloe comes in every day he’s scheduled to work). Maybe once I know what Alya's hair looks like tied up in a ponytail, she'll join the crew! But I like the idea that she’s the customer in this one for some of that #freewifi

Perhaps not a fail after all, Marinette. Alya can do that kind of thing with Nino because of their relationship. Alya’s just helping with anything Marinette might want to try to get Adrien’s attention.

Decided to test out a new program and drawing method by finally creating this dumb little comic to a script I’ve had sitting in my files forever. No references (clearly, ick). Very different from how I normally draw, and I just don't have the energy to make it pretty and just wanted a quick sketch for the visual. Enjoy the joke!

Cross-posted by me [over here]. Watermarked as both this time.

Old doodle of a younger Adrien Agreste from Miraculous Ladybug. I tried to make him look a little younger, more childlike, but not too much. This is also on my dA (Ravus4001).

Boy had to get those stupid perfect teeth somehow and I will not accept anything other than braces from ages 11 to 13 before he started modeling for Gabriel.

I worked on a thing today!

Just a WIP for now. The background is a placeholder to make the image easier to see (I work on a very large canvas so shrinking makes mini-linearts hard to see). It was all I could do just to get the spots in to be able to post a WIP so Ladybug would be recognizable. Please ignore the graininess, it’s tumblr.

I’m hoping to have more energy to work on it again some more soon and maybe even finish it.

[as the image says, don’t repost or archive anywhere]

Joke I came up with while working on it:

Ladybug: “Avatar State, Yip-yip!”

Chat Noir: *Superhero Landing*
