Hi! @goldenlaurelleaveswrites. I’m your secret admirer this year! I went with your ‘meet cute’ prompt. I was having a lot of fun with this because I also like fluff. I hope you like it. 😊😊💙💙
“A street musician, Luka Couffaine was struggling with writing his new song, he felt he was a bit blocked. This afternoon was sunny and calm but he couldn’t find his own peace, his head was gloomy. He entered a small coffee shop to take a break. A cute girl appeared before his eyes. Marinette, the waitress, had a beautiful smile that illuminated everything around. She was like a shining star and he couldn’t take his eyes away from her... The writing of the new song was about to start and then something new started as well.”
Hi! Happy Valentine’s Day! I participated in @lovebugs-and-snakecharmers’s Secret Admirer 2022 Exchange.
Here’s my gift for @justknitstuff As soon as I read your first prompt I couldn’t get out of my head the idea of Bard Luka and Spellcaster Marinette. This is how I imagined them. I hope you like it 💙😊😊.
Under the cut I added some bonuses: short descriptions, sketches for a better look at their outfits, and a short summary/context/story of what was in my head while drawing the main piece. 💙💙
The spellcaster Marinette has long hair slightly tied at the back of her head. She wears a blue outfit decorated with golden elements. Her ears have many earrings. She wields a staff, with the glass ball on the top of it, that contains the magical powers of Miraculous. She also has a spell book where all the spells and secrets are located and it’s required to properly use the Miraculous power.
Blue haired bard Luka never parts with his lute. He plays songs that affect people’s hearts. His calming music is healing their minds and souls. He is distinguished by his extraordinary ability to communicate with animals and magical creatures. Luka doesn’t have a home, he lives constantly traveling from town to town. He wears a white shirt with a leather undercoat and a cape on the top of it. On his head there’s a hat with a feather.
“Marinette escaped from the tower of evil wizard Gabriel. Three days before, he kidnapped her and held her there, trying to get her to use her magical spells for his evil plan. She refused to fulfill his order. Miraculous can bring the dead to life but there’s an unimaginable price to pay for that, that’s why it’s forbidden to use. The wielder of the magical staff has to protect its power.
During her escape through the forest she met a bard on the trail who was just traveling to another town. Because he knew this country and its trails very well, he offered her help to get as far as to get Marinette out of Gabriel's reach. Under the disguise Marinette and Luka traveled across the kingdom lands. They were trying not to be conspicuous to the wizard's minions, who haven't stopped looking for them.”
Old sketch for a comic I dropped. This pic continues in a small animation that @airi-p4 made for me. Here’s the link.
The context was: Luka and Marinette were making decorations for Juleka’s and Rose's party. They were using a lot of glitter. It happened that a bit of glitter fell into Luka’s eye. Mari tried to help him take it off. Fortunately the piece of glitter fell off by itself and then they realized how close their faces were...
Luka was just finishing a new guitar in his workshop when he heard someone opening the door.
"Welcome…" he wanted to greet the customer before he saw who was standing there.
Suddenly, he couldn't speak, he couldn't move when all he saw was a beautiful woman in a white long dress with a veil partially covering her face. Her whole silhouette shone in the rays of afternoon sun. She looked like an angel.
"Luka…" she said with a trembling voice.
"Marinette?" he finally managed to gasp it out. "What are you doing here? Look at the time! You're supposed to be already in church…"
Marinette squeezed her teeth while her tears rolled down her cheeks. She ran forward and threw herself into his chest.
