my unconventional study methods for my upcoming entomology exam

[kari-go]

Could you maybe draw ladybug with the powerups you haven't drawn yet? (Earth, fire... I'm not sure if you already did water)

I drew all of them for convenience. I didn't really have an idea what to do for the fire pearl? But she ended up looking fine a bit bland but fine. I really like the ground pearl, she's so cute!

These are some concepts I made for ladybugs transformations, based on the existing transformations in the show, aqua bug, ice bug, and Cosmo bug.

In my miraculous rewrite the Kwami's don’t need food power ups to get extra abilities. I don’t have an issue with this writing choice, I just feel like it’s a bit unnecessary and also make Tikki and Plagg look restricted when they’re supposed to be beings with God like powers.

Instead Tikki and Plagg can conjure these extra powers whenever specific circumstances arise, and instead it’s the miraculous holders who transform their suits to better fit the scenario.

Let me know what you think of these designs and feel free to give any suggestions on how I could improve them.

Below is just some extra exposition for these redesigns

(Fyi under each outfit is the same grey spandex suit with red spots for body protection)

🏊‍♀️🐟🌊 Aqua bug’s cannon suit is the least offensive in my opinion, the added details of the pink fins and scaly suit was a nice touch. Despite this though her outfit it still very samey to her regular suit, so I wanted to change it up a bit. My Aqua bug wears a red one-piece swimsuit with pink sparkly trim, she still has her transparent pink flippers, and her hair is now tied in a bun with a sparkly pink scrunchie. I think the simplest way to explain the vibe I wanted is that: cannon aqua bug looks like a fish; my aqua bug looks like a cute scuba diver.

 🏂⛸❄ Ice bug’s cannon suit infuriates me, I know that with the 3D animation its more costly to make new models but c’mon, they just stuck white fur to her skintight suit, overlaid her suit with snowflakes and gave her a tiara like :/ how is that supposed to keep her warm. ALSO, why the ice skates, yes in that one episode with the ice-skating Akuma they came in handy, but other than that when would she ever need this power up. Fun fact ladybugs are very vulnerable in the cold; it triggers their hibernation instincts, so I wanted to play into that a bit. Ladybug becomes sluggish in the cold so to cope she has a fluff lined coat and boots, mittens and a fluffy beret. And if she needed ice skates, she could just create some. To summarize: cannon ice bug looks like a Disney on ice reject, my ice bug looks like someone dressed for winter.

 👩‍🚀🛸🌠 Finally, Cosmo bug…I hate it. She is still wearing the exact same ladybug suit just with a different coloration, a jet pack just glued to her back and the worst offender, a helmet…that doesn’t even cover her whole friggin head, chat noir oh yeah, he gets a proper functional helmet, but ladybug NOOOO she needs to have her hair and ears showing otherwise she won’t look pretty enough. I was very inspired by the space age fashion craze from the 60s, as well as another French co-produced cartoon Atomic Betty. Ladybug dons this sturdy combat dress, with her belt buckle serving as a holder for her magic compact, paired with funky space boots. Her helmet covers her entire head and is a transparent pink glass with pinkish white spots covering the whole surface; her wings are made of the same material and magically sprout from the spot on her back. Overall cannon space bug looks like a knockoff power ranger, my space bug looks like a fashion forward astronaut.

It's winter where I live, and there no bug friends, except the occasional fly indoors. Are there bugs that can hang out in the snow or in colder climates? Thanks!

Yes, actually! It depends on where you live obviously. But there are snow scorpionflies, snow flies (which are related to crane flies), winter stoneflies, snowfleas (a type of springtail), and ice bugs/ice crawlers, a type of insect in the family Grylloblattidae, just to name a few!

Most scorpionflies aren’t adapted to living in cold whether, but the family Boreidae is! Here’s a snow scorpionfly:

Lady Glace and Chat des Glaces' Masks Biscuits

🐞❄️💕🐾❄️ Lady Glace / Ice Bug and Chat des Glaces / Ice Cat's masks.

🐞❄️ Lady Glace / Ice Bug or Lady Ice's mask.

🐾❄️ Chat des Glaces / Ice Cat's mask.

When using his ice powers, Chat Noir doesn't change his black mask. I added the outline of the eyes and a silver decoration of ice crystals on the upper corners of the mask that match the ice crystals on his costume.

Quando utilizza i poteri del ghiaccio, Chat Noir non modifica la sua maschera nera. Ho aggiunto il contorno degli occhi e una decorazione color argento con cristalli di ghiaccio sugli angoli superiori che si abbinano ai cristalli di ghiaccio del costume.

It's the new favorite boy!

Ice power-up

Snow Lion, Ice Bug, Snowcat

Lion is the one focused on the cold and staying warm and Gato is supposed to be like a figure skater while Ladybug should be in the middle. I've already done Ice Bug before, three actually, where I tried to do the same thing but only with her instead.
