#viperion redesign

[sillygoofylittleartist]

Viperion redesign! This one was incredibly hard for me because I like the og design but I wanted to add a bit more of Lukas personal style into it. He’s got an alternative kind of vibe so I wanted to give him a bit more edge. I gave him boots, fingerless gloves, a vest, and chains. I also made his eyes more like chat noirs in how they have no whites and are completely green. I had so many bad iterations but I’m happy with what I finally got to. 🐍

"Im'a snek. I'm a slithery little sneaky snek." -Luka probably

You know when face shape, body type, hair, skin, eye shape and color are already decided and drawn digital it saves a lot more time! I had a plan for Luka's civilian design but when I went to do it digital he just took the reigns and demanded his jacket back (it was originally going to be tied around his waste)

Silencer always bothered me a bit? For the most part I likes his design, but the purple was a bit too vibrant. I chnaged it drastically to make it look more cyber-punk inspired.

I had zero plans for Viperion's diesgn outside of giving him snake bites and wanting him to not look like Aspik. And once again the design took over and demanded a leather trench coat, I don't make the rules guys.

For the re-write stuff, Luka is 18 (as is Juleka, they are still twins) He graduated a year early to get a job and start helping support their family. To the surprise of exactly no one Anarka kind of struggles to keep a job. They always had food on the table, and living on the Liberty meant there was always a roof over their heads. But new clothes were reserved for birthday and Christmas presents, everything else is usually thrifted. Luka got really good at basic tailoring and likes to paint, dye, bleach, or otherwise make his and his sisters clothes unique. When he started they would have little fashion shows for their mom, which sparked Juleka's love for modelling. This shared interest is part of what draws him to Marinette.

Luka is canonically an empath, and I ain't about to take that from him. Non-miraculous super powers exist in this world, it would not shock me in the slightest if Luka was powered. He can sometimes get overwhelmed in large spaces of conflicting emotions, but had been slowly adjusting to it with each performance he and Juleka do. Kind of like exposure therapy.

If your scared to do something and want someone to support you? Ask Luka, he'll probably do it to to show his support. When they were 6, Juleka wanted to get her ears pierced but was scared, so Luka decided he wanted his pierced too. He ended up loving them and got more earrings later, and an eyebrow piercing. So far only 1 has ever gotten infected. In turn when Luka wanted to dye his hair for the first time, Juleka decided to get it done as well (albeit without bleach for fear of damaging it to much)

While they've never met their father, they have a feeling they know who it is. Their mother doesn't hide her child support letters nearly as well as she thinks she does.

Viperion Redesigned!

I don't like the original, just as MANY of the designs of the show, so... Redesign Time!

I redesigned Luka y’all can leave me alone now

Shoo!

Honestly canon Luka is just alright. More than alright he looks pretty good. Except for his discount blue christmas tree hair that’s so hard to draw and look good. Luka’s main problem is that he got screwed by the 3D style. Where are this poor boy’s eyelashes? If he had some I don’t think a redesign would have been necessary.

So I based his civilian design off of his introduction scene. He’s meditating and uses music to communicate. I love that shit, so I just amplified it. He’s like a big outstretched cat who’s blissfully sleeping in the sunlight. Comfy relaxed boy. And I’ve kept him 17, no retcons. He’s Juleka’s mysterious older brother, not her twin. I’m just a little worried I made him look too old? Idk, either way he and Marinette don’t date in this version.

And next Viperion. I wasn’t gonna change him until I changed the power. I hate second chance, it’s with Burrow in shit tier powers. Okay I don’t hate the power itself but what it represents. Second Chance and Burrow MURDERED any and all tension within the show for me. I never expect the status quo to ever really change. Not even Season 4′s finale can convince me of this. So his new power is Future Sight. He can look into the future and coordinate his team to achieve that future, or change it. Aka the future isn’t set in stone. And there’s a limit to how far into the future he can look.

So I figured he’d have his eyes hidden. He’s not looking at the here and now, he’s looking past the present. Just pretend the blindfold is see through to him. Don’t worry he can see just fine, I promise. Then, like Carapace and Pigella, I introduced more colour into his suit. The monochrome just wasn’t working for me.

I sympathize with whoever designed him, a snake isn’t easy to translate into a costume that isn’t a naga. Almost every other animal in Miraculous have traits that can be reused (or not in Pigella’s case for no reason. CURLY TAIL GUYS, COME ON)

So yah, Luka. I redesigned him. There he is. He is here.

Day three - Viperion redesign! I wasn't super inspired because I already love Viperions design, until I saw @dcschart’s design for him! 💚
