Thinking About Summer Evenings And Dinner Dates

I have to design so many ocs for my pathfinder campaign..

🇺🇸: So, @kabartmatzu suggested we did a screenshot redraw Collab with our Ladybug and Chat noir redesigns from our AUs!! :D [Their post]

I made a version with my "normal" style and a simpler version- I really want to develop a simpler style so I can use it in some scenes IF I do the comic for my AU, so I'm doing some tests by now. I wanted to make the coloring more interesting than that, but I think it is ok.

Those designs are definitely not the final ones, specially ladybug's- but I knew that if I waited until I got satisfied with the designs I'd probably never post it lol. I also changed her hair a little bit.

[The designs: Old Ladybug - New Ladybug - Chat Noir]

At the same time that I do want to post a lot about my AU, most of it is either something I'm afraid to be a spoiler or something that can change/has not be fully decided yet. So it can take a while before I start posting actual relevant stuff about it.

Anyways, it was fun to make. The screenshot:

🇧🇷: Então, @kabartmatzu sugeriu que nós fizéssemos um Collab de redesenhar alguma cena com os designs de Ladybug e Chat Noir das nossas AUs! :D

[O design delu]

Eu fiz uma versão com meu estilo "normal" e uma versão mais simples- quero muito desenvolver um estilo mais simples pra poder usar ele em algumas cenas CASO eu faça a comic pra minha AU, então tô fazendo alguns testes por agora. Queria q a pintura ficasse um pouco mais interessante que isso, mas acho que ficou ok.

Esses designs definitivamente não são definitivos, especialmente o da ladybug (inclusive, mudei o cabelo dela um pouco)- mas eu sabia que se eu esperasse até ficar satisfeita eu nunca ia postar kkkk

[Os designs: Ladybug Antiga - Ladybug Nova - Chat Noir]

Ao mesmo tempo que eu quero postar bastante sobre minha AU, a maior parte dela é ou algo que eu tenho medo de ser spoiler, ou algo que pode mudar/que eu não decidi totalmente ainda. Então talvez demore um pouco até eu começar a postar coisas de fato relevantes sobre ela.

De qualquer forma, foi bem divertido de fazer :)

Which episodes from canon are you removing from your AU?

Well... I have 2 main lists of episodes I want to remove:

Episodes I'm pretty sure (by now) I'm going to remove: Robustus (the implications of AIs being able to be akumatized is not something I want to work on), Gigantitan, Animaestro, Chris Master, Oblivio, Gamer 2.0 (I really like the akuma dynamic but I don't want to use the same akuma again for most cases), Stormy Weather 2, Time Tagger (definitely no time travel here), Puppeteer 2, Party Crasher, Oblivio, Efemeral, Chat Blanc (I also don't want to do what if episodes. But I really like chat blanc's concept, so I'm still unsure about adding him somewhere else or not), Sole crusher, queen banana, hack-san, simpleman, dearest family, penalteam, Evolution, determination and revolution (And basically every special like NY etc)

Episodes I'm still unsure about removing or not: Copycat, Animam (I'll likely remove these 2), the pharaoh, horrificator, guitar villain, pixelator, princess fragrance, glaciator (I just hate Andre too much...), frozer, bakerix, reflekdoll, startrain, kwami buster, feast, ladybug, heart hunter and miracle queen, Mr pigeon 72, furious Fu, mega leech, guiltrip, crocoduel, glaciator 2, qilin, juro neko, and most of season 3 (except for destruction, passion, exaltation, kwamis choice and emotion)

BUT, tbh, not only those lists can change VERY much, but that also doesn't mean that I'm going to delete the whole plot of those episodes. The thing is:

1- There are many episodes that I'm going to keep the basic premise, but change most of the stuff that happens in them (for example: I plan to keep the episode "Kung food", but only the premise of "marinette's uncle gets akumatized because of a chef competition". Everything else that happens- such as Chloe being the judge- will likely change to a different plot). That means that many episodes that I plan to "remove" are just going to be given new plotlines to their basic premises. The opposite is also true- maybe there's a specific plot that happens in the episode (that isn't necessarily part of the "main plot"- or at least of what occupies most part of the episode, like the akuma) that I want to keep, BUT since the rest is either not interesting to me or simply wouldn't work in the AU, I'll just change the episode where this plotline happens (Example: though I'm removing Sole crusher, I'm not removing Zoe as a character- I'm just putting her introduction somewhere else) to other episode.

And 2- Originally, I wanted to remove as many episodes as I could so I wouldn't have to work with episodes that I considered to be "filler", that didn't have many events that progressed the narrative or the character growth. But, at this point, I've written so many stuff (and specially stuff that deviates from canon) that I honestly need to have episodes to include theses plots LOL, so I'll probably use some basic stuff of the episodes I was planning to remove (like some akumatized villains) to add these plots (and the AU is probably gonna be way bigger than I originally wanted to, lol).

Anyways, in summary, removing an episode does not mean removing a storyline (and vice versa). For every episode I want to remove, I have a list with the plots I want to keep and things that could give me new ideas (even from medias that mostly don't affect canon like the special episodes, even the PS5 game has stuff that I want to either keep or adapt lmao).

So, although those are the episodes I plan to remove at the moment, I think asking if I'm going to keep or remove a specific storyline would give a more precise answer in general.

Can we have Dragon!Juleka?

🇺🇸: Hope she looks enough like Juleka. I tried to make her similar to jagged stone- and also Guitar Villain- bc I like the concept of the couffaine sibling having some hero forms based off of their parents and their akumatizations (not sure if she looks like a hero though, I think this concept would have worked better if she was a villain), so specially her mask has guitar villain's mask shape. I also wanted to give her a side cut.

I also wanted to make a pattern for the dragon users with the 3 powers, I do like the idea but I'm still gonna change it in the future

I made an option with gold hair instead of red and tbh I think I like it way more (bc there's too much red in the suit), but it was too late to change the rest (also the red was supposed to be way darker, but the app I use has a limited color Pallet)

I think Ivan's full outfits turned out better, but I liked this one anyways.

🇧🇷: Espero que ela pareça o suficiente com a Juleka. Eu tentei fazer ela parecida com o jagged stone- e o Guitarrista Malvado Também- porque eu gosto do conceito dos irmãos couffaine terem algumas formas de herói baseadas nos seus pais e as akumatizacoes deles (apesar de que não sei se ela parece uma heroína, acho que o conceito teria funcionado bem melhor se ela fosse uma vilã), então a máscara dela em especial tem o formato da máscara do guitarrista malvado. Eu também queria dar um sidecut pra ela.

Também queria fazer um padrão de estampa prós usuários do dragão com os 3 poderes, eu gosto da ideia mas ainda vou mudar o padrão no futuro.

Fiz uma opção com cabelo dourado ao invés de vermelho e sinceramente eu acho que gostei bem mais (pq tem muito vermelho na roupa), mas já tava tarde demais pra mudar o resto (e também o vermelho era pra ser bem mais escuro, mas o app q eu uso tem uma paleta de cores limitada).

Acho que as miniaturas do Ivan com a roupa inteira ficaram melhores, mas gostei dessa de qualquer forma.
