Update: holy shit I actually had the time and motivation to draw today, it was difficult bcs I don’t really do it that much anymore but at least it got done lol
This au is really gettin me all creative n shit lol, this is more stuff for my magic school bus university au. I really love D.A. in this au, she wasn’t my favorite as a kid (I was a Phoebe fan) but I think she is now lol. She spends the majority of her freshman year biting off more than she can chew and desperately trying to not lose her shit (spoilers she’s not super successful). I’ve been thinking about it and I kind of want her to be going for a degree in aerospace engineering, which might not be a good idea since I know nothing about that myself but I feel like it makes sense for her. Obviously she’s a huge perfectionist and overachiever when it comes to her grades, but I can also see that seeping into other aspects of her life as she struggles to stay in control. If her makeup and outfits are always perfect, there’s no way someone will see through the facade and realize what a stressed-out disaster she is, right???
(Wrong)
I would describe her style as “pastel academia.” I want to kind of keep the kids in the color palettes that they had in the original show (I might actually color this one day, pretend her skirt is teal and purple lol), and the stuff I’ve done so far has posed a really fun challenge in incorporating those colors while not making them look stupid. D.A.’s the only one of the girls who I see as a skirt person, although that might just be my personal dislike of wearing skirts. I wanted to have her hairstyle echo the original but be it’s own thing, so she’s got the braids now (a good hairstyle to sleep in and not have to waste precious time redoing!) and of course she still has bangs. I’m hoping that at some point I’ll make this digital which will allow me to color it and also make a couple different outfit variations, but I guess we’ll see how it pans out. Hopefully I’ll have the inspiration to do more for this au bcs I really love it, but who knows.
