Someday I'll clean this up but finally decided to make a colored version of that outfit I always put Adrien in. I'll probably change a few colors later but right now this is good enough. In any case this is my first addition to the series of "drawing Adrien like an actual model in different outfits" that I plan on doing but perhaps not sticking to a regular schedule because I suck at that. The others will come when they come. It's still great to draw again and make really messy art. Ugh, how I missed it. This outfit is heavily inspired by one of Kiro's outfits from Mr Love: Queen's Choice.

Been waiting literal years to draw something like this for literally any Citizen Solider song lyric because pretty much all their songs remind me of Adrien/Chat. Like I have just been biding my time waiting until I'm "good enough" and I realized that just ain't happening so insecurity be damned, I sketched something up. It's messy, it's flawed, and I love it. Story behind this scene is kind of up to your interpretation I guess. I have my own but it would be curious to see what others think. The lyric is the last line in the Citizen Soldier song Who I Am. Man I haven't drawn in forever. Feels great. Missed this.

Look, I didn’t watch the episode and only saw spoilers... this happened, right? Right? I love Felix as much as the next gremlin lover but by gosh if there was ever a time for Adrien to be trigger happy... now’s the time. Don’t worry. I’m sure after Adrien gets to rip Felix apart they will hug and make up or something. This is a kids show. Had fun with this. Usually hate drawing males and side profiles but I really wanted to draw these too, mostly as a gift for @goldensmilingbird who is a blessing and is pretty much the only way I really watch the show anymore. I really love the ideas of miraculous and drawing the characters is fun but watching it now feels like pulling teeth. I don’t have enough patience for this show, anymore. I’m sorry. :’ D

How about some romantic Felibug?

(Felix Agreste x Ladybug)

I assume you are the same anon who sent me an earlier ask about this. I actually don't normally take requests but when it comes to miraculous concepts I get a little over eager. You're also pretty lucky because before you sent this I was already thinking of some Felibug content that I was unsure of making but your ask kind of pushed me to just get it done. So... thank you! I've very happy with how it came out! I've been wanting to write this small little story and add a picture with it for so long so here, enjoy;

Here's a link to the story. It's a bit too short to post on AO3 or fanfiction.net or something. Let me know if you can't get to it.

Can you draw redraw with this cuties!?

This concept art features Gorgeous Nathan from the gym club (AKA Pre Felix) and Marietta (Or Marinette)!

You have very nice drawings,I like it,Dude!!Very beautiful and creativity.Your drawings are just a masterpiece!!!

Firstly, I must thank you for helping me identify that the dude in this concept is Gorgeous Nathan. I always thought he couldn't be Felix because he seemed different, and it's not just because of the outfit, though that's a heavy reason. I never thought about it being Gorgeous Nathan but that does make the most sense. Also, I must say I very much appreciate you referring to him by his full title. Beautiful. We always appreciate Gorgeous Nathan from the Gym Club. (I will bully this man relentlessly for this title, I swear). For those who don't like using links that they can't be sure where they lead, this is the image anon is talking about:

Anyway, I'm not sure if you were actually asking me to draw them separately or redraw this image. I went with redrawing it. I do have this image and I very much love it more compared to the final product. So I decided to redraw it based on what ended up being the final product and on this sketch version. The final product involves the weird combination of Marinette and "Bridgette" and Felix. There was not much else in the scene besides two people and a car and while I liked the focus on Felix and "Bri" it looked so barren and lifeless somehow compared to all other concept images. That isn't to say the art is bad, of course. The art was very, very good. It just didn't have quite the same life I loved about the other concepts so it's one of my least favorites. Here's them compared side by side:

I quite liked the sketch because of life it had and I wanted to somehow mimic that without people so I decided to add a lot more plant life and hopefully bring more "energy" you could say. I'm not sure I did it justice. I also did some very sloppy coloring because I thought it would be fun. I don't really love the outfit Marietta have so I did my best with what I was provided. That's one of the things I preferred about the final image. I will say I couldn't help myself and added Marietta's necklace even though this isn't quite the Marietta we know because she seemed to have the more Marinette-like bangs.

But here it is... I did my best. I much prefer the original products myself but this was fun. I recommend clicking on it. This image is big so Tumblr makes it look worse. XD

I really had to deconstruct this image. I went through tracing the very basic shapes of it to get the basic idea of the energy then I went to making my own building blocks so I could draw my own style over top of that then it was redrawing it all over again and so forth and so on... I basically drew this image multiple times. Can't say I'm all that thrilled with this one. I actually don't quite like it. But I do try to be honest about my art journey. I am one of those artists who believes it's the fun that's important and I had a whole lot of fun making it. Except Gorgeous Nathan's head. That wasn't fun. Very unfun. You think I would hate his hands but no it was his freaking head. Ironic since that's the stuff I draw the most; heads and faces. I hope you at least like it, even just a little bit. Maybe one day I can draw them again without trying to measure up to someone else's work, I suppose. That's probably what threw me off a lot, that I really wanted to do it justice even though I knew this would be a very simple drawing. Thanks for the request! It was very fun to draw this version of the characters! I also very much like the story this one tells! Also anon, I gotta ask... are you the same anon sending me all the wonderful asks in my inbox? I, of course, appreciate them but it did get me curious! I hope you're having a wonderful day, afternoon, evening, night, or whatever time it is where you are! <3

I mean younger version of Chat Noir from "Mini menace" who wears black hat with cat's ears!?

Hello! Sorry, this took a bit. Life got busy and I was trying really hard to figure out how I would tackle this... So I decided that I wanted to respect the history of the Mini Menace covers and used some heavy reference to get the dynamic poses I wanted to sort of match the covers. Though my art style is really not much like Astruc's beyond just sketchy. I did trace the title cover and little stamp in the corner and barcode at the bottom. I just want to make that clear. I wanted those to be as accurate as possible. Though I did change the little Ladybug stamp to look less like she is flipping the bird and more like it's just her pointer finger. That just isn't my style. I pulled the red directly from the Mini Menace comics because it needed a little spice otherwise it kind of blended together. I also resized the canvas to match the size of the Mini Menace covers. I think I sort of figured out Marietta's hair but I don't think I figured out the skirt at all. Anyway, hope it's to your liking:

And, you may not be able to tell, but yes, I did give her Ladybug spotted nails. It's a reference to another cover. I imagine their dynamic is over-protective big sister and rather annoying but caring little brother. I like to think the Le Chat Noir (the mentor) she used to know is gone either due to passing away or stepping down. And some new kid took up the mantle and much like Le Chat Noir with her, she thinks of him as immature and completely out of his element. I also like to imagine Marietta is not one to just stand idly by even in civilian form. She has to do something to help even if that's risking revealing her secret. Thank you so much for the ask! I had so much fun! I hope you are having a wonderful day, afternoon, evening, night, or whatever time it is where you are!

To celebrate the new PV refs that have been circulating and my new giant whiteboard I made a giant BriBug and she shall stay on my board until I get the proper makers for this thing. XD I’m actually pretty proud of this considering I don’t normally draw on whiteboards so...
