Ladybug Redesign - Tumblr Posts

Ladybug redesigns for my Miraculous rewrite.

I've always wanted to redesign Ladybug's uniform, one of the most terrible and uncreative designs I've seen in an animated series! That's why I made this redesign.

Ladybug now has a cape that also serves as wings, the underside of the headdress is based on Chinese dresses (I don't know the name for sure). Her hair also grows out a bit and takes on a pink gradient. The antennae move depending on her mood, and Tikki also received a small change, she now has wings, the symbol on her forehead is more like a flower (based on her 2d design)

On her wrists she has bracelets that work as communicators, and when she needs something she opens one of the bracelets and from inside she can take any item that can help in battles.

Little ladybugs also come out of the bracelets, which attach themselves to civilians and protect them, like magic shields. She even has her Yoyo(I just forgot to draw it) as her main weapon, the Yoyo changes size and just like in the movie sometimes seems to have a life of its own.

She has the luck effect, an effect that affects all heroes, if she touches a hero they get a bust of luck, if she touches an akumatized with this effect activated she can steal their luck. Basically it's an effect that can only be used once for both versions of this power.

Miraculous Ladybug does not rebuild or fix what was caused by the akumatized, and to purify the akuma she still uses her yoyo.

I made these changes to her for my future rewrite of Miraculous, now named "Miraculous Heroes".

She, in addition to being the protagonist, is also the main strategist, she can think about solving problems but she is not necessarily responsible for defeating the villains, she as the holder of the Miraculous of creation cannot destroy the items in which some are kept, she needs the other heroes to destroy them and so she can purify them.

She takes this job seriously but also wants to be able to balance it with her everyday life. She is still a bit clumsy like Ladybug in the beginning, after all she just became a hero, and even containing the luck effect she is not 100% lucky, And sometimes when she busts the luck of others she ends up sharing part of her luck for them, leaving her almost out of luck.

Ladybug doesn't have just one power anymore, she has several, and that counts for the other heroes as well, which will also have redesigns soon.

Hope you enjoyed this redesign!

New Channel Banner!

It took me all week to finish this, I hope you guys like it!

My lady noire redesign.

I don’t think the original design was necessarily bad but I did have a few issues with it.

For one I don’t love the braid instead of the belt, mostly because the belt moves like a tail on chat noir and I don’t remember the braid working the same way so it’s not as expressive ( I might be wrong but I think it just hangs), and while it was kinda cute I had the idea to have like small black ribbons on her pigtails that resemble whiskers so I scrapped the braid entirely. For the tail I made a sash/belt thing instead.

Another thing I really didn’t like was how she had itty bitty claws that you could barely see. I want her to have big sharp claws at least as big as chats.

As for the colors I like the green in that it is part of the black cats color scheme but I think the blue would make it more her own. We’ve also seen with kitty noir that the eyes don’t necessarily need to be green. I did make a green version since I do kind of like it. I honestly don’t know what I prefer.

Finally I did not like how boring and plain her suit is especially compared to chats which has all sorts of textures and details (wrist cuffs, bell, boots, belt, pockets, sectioned parts, etc)

So I added a few more details plus some interest to the mask.

I also made her top lip black, kinda Kim possible style.

Overall I’m pretty happy with my redesign, she feels more like marinette to me.

For my ladybug redesign there were a couple things I felt were important to keep. I adore her ribbons I think they’re so cute and I love the way they move and the way they look like antennas so theres no way I was getting rid of them. Her pigtails resemble the shape of insect wings especially since her hair is blue and also they’re cute so I kept them. One of the biggest criticisms of ladybugs design is that it is too simple, boring, and tacky which I pretty much agree with.

While I do think her canon design is too simple I also understand why it is and think that it is good to keep it simple as ladybug is the leader, she needs to be instantly recognizable amongst the team and her simple costume helps. So with my redesign I kept the simple silhouette and two color palette and just added some black segments to break up all the red. I also have always wanted her to have black limbs because ladybugs have black legs.

I gave her some soles so that she’s not running around in footie pajamas and the spots on her knees can act as knee pads.

I was tempted to leave her arms completely black but I personally believe it is important that her hands are red because there needs to be a clear contrast between her and chat noirs hands for all the times they hold hands or fist bump.

Overall I didn’t really change all that much I just tried to give her a bit of visual interest.

Here’s another version where I played with adding extra pieces to the suit, I don’t know that it works though because of the red and spots on top of red and spots.

Anyway this was fun hope you like it :).

The main things I didn’t like with the original design was the weird placement of the yo-yo, the many different spot sizes, and the color palette.

Scarabella redesign.

The bright red was not good against alyas skin tone so I made the red a more cool more muted red.

I gave the suit more segmented parts to be more insect like and I removed the weird little shorts.

Her hair gave me the most problems since I could not figure out what I wanted to do with it. I didn’t want the scarf because the spots so close to the spots of the mask was too busy and they were also different sizes from the spots on the mask and the spots on the suit. I tried making it black but didn’t like it so I just got rid of it and gave her two low buns.

Something I felt was missing from scarabella design was blue. Ladybug had blue eyes and blue hair that is in a shape resembling wings. I wanted to give scarabella some wing details so I have her some wings on her feet and some hair accessories that look like a ladybug in flight.

Penibug redesign. I will never understand why they gave her those sleeves and the wings on her feet are such a weird shape. I toned down a lot of it though I don’t hate the suit (minus the sleeves) of the original design. Got rid of the little horseshoe and the glasses because even though they’re the miraculous I’ve always hated that. Especially since glasses are a more modern invention than a lot of the other miraculous. I don’t know what I’d replace it with but there’s got to be something better.

🐎🐇🐞

My caprikid redesign. Everyone voted to keep the fur so I extended it into a vest though I also made a version where it stayed the same.

Turns out that I actually didn’t full dislike his design as much as I originally thought I just really hated his horns. While I know some goats have horns like that they reminded me more of gazelle or antelope horns than goat horns. They were also so tall sticking out of his head they looked kinda goofy. So I changed his horns to shorter straighter horns like on most common goats.

I added two more colors to his color scheme a darker gray and a beige. I gave him cloven hoof details on his boots and gave him some little goat ears. I wanted it to read more clearly as goat. I also updated his mask a lot. I tried to give it the same marking patterns as many goats and I like it a lot more. I also changed the color on his paint brush handle since that brown was not anywhere else in his color palette.

Finally I gave him I white patch in his hair. Don’t know how I feel about it, maybe I should have kept it solid red but I thought it might be fun idk.

Anyway who should I redesign next?

Mayura redesign. There were a lot of things I liked about her original design but the main thing I wanted was to amp up the peacock aspects since they have so much drama and vibrancy to their looks. I also wanted her color palette to have more peacock colors so I added a lot more green and toned down some of the pink.

I changed the pattern to be more like the actual feathers of a peacock. I lengthened the skirt and removed the feather/fur cuffs on her sleeves and neck. Peacocks have a lot of different types of feathers but none of them are super floofy as they’re generally pretty sleek so I wanted to reflect that in the design.

I also added a caplet and a top layer to her skirt both with the feather patterns. I also gave her gloves with claws like peacock nails, partly because I love chat noirs claws and I want them to be incorporated into more characters, especially since so many of the animals have claws or talons.

Finally I gave her a mask with markings like on the face of peacock and instead of the little hat piece thing I gave her a little accessory kind of like the ones from the flapper headbands. I thought her hair and stuff reminded me of a sleek 1920s look so I figured that would work.

To the little accessory I added plumes like the ones on the top of a peacocks head. They’re so specific i don’t know how any peacock based design could leave them out.

This redesign is kind of busy but I hope it’s not too overwhelming. The color palette gave me a hard time but I think I made it work. I want to see a non villain design of the peacock miraculous with a brighter color palette.

Scarabella and Kittynoire from that one scene in their episode but with my redesigns. I decided to give kitty her green hair back because she deserves it. Couldn’t be bothered to draw the background, maybe someday.

Call her CATastrophe 🖤💚. Evil lady noire, maybe I’ll do a full body of her someday but we’ll see. Still haven’t seen the special but I heard it’s pretty good.

I liked her too much so I did a full body. I tried to do an evil mr. Bug too but it’s hard to make Adrien edgy in a way that also looks cool. I’m open to any ideas if anyone has any. Pretend I drew chains for the belt and shoulder accessories.

Hawkmoth 😈🦋

I know hawkmoth neglects his son, is a dirty capitalist, and commits acts of domestic terrorism on the daily but in my personal opinion his biggest crime is being a super villain with a butterfly theme and a background in fashion and looking so incredibly BORING.

He has all the potential to serve looks and yet he wears the most boring uninspired suit with little to no reference to butterflies.

I took away the bald cap, added a ton of butterfly shapes, and just added a ton more detail in general.

I’m very happy with it, I think he still looks intimidating and full of bad intentions while actually having a butterfly theme.

I’m working on shadowmoth and monarch now. I might do a drawing of my redesigned hawkmoth and mayura together.

My first lady noire redesign was kind of boring to me and I thought I could do better so I had another go. I gave her messier pigtails whisker ribbons and little bell earrings. Also I had two different ideas for the belt and I don’t know which I prefer so here’s both

I think it’s a definite improvement from my first one.

Maybe Adrien gets rescued by a knight who is strangely familiar even though he’s never met her before.

I drew them again because they’re sweet.

Young bunnix redesign. I changed very little since I think the original is pretty solid. A gave her skates with rabbit foot designs, lengthened the white parts on her legs and removed the pockets on the front replacing them with the dot design on her sides. Adult bunnix will have more changes to her design though the canon one is also pretty adorable.

Another one that I didn’t change much. The fox is one of the ones that’s hard to mess up much like the cat. It has a simple color palette and recognizable features. Rena’s canon design is one of my favorites in the show because it just works. I did change a couple things, for one I gave her some soles to her shoes and some little paw markings. Foxes are the only species in canidae that have retractable claws (as far as I can remember) so I of course had to give her claws and I’m actually offended that she was deprived of them in the first place. I also changed her jacket to not have the white going up it but to layer over the white. I changed her eye color to an amber gold color and my favorite change her mask I made a little more foxy. I also gave a subtle gradient to her suit to make it a bit more interesting.

(Also I forgot to add designs to her flute so just ignore that.)

I love Rena and it was fun drawing her.

Adult bunnix redesign. I don’t have a problem with the original design, I actually quite like it but I played around with it a bit for fun and I’m pretty happy with this as a redesign.

I changed my vesperia redesign because her hair was just not it. The braid doesn’t work for the comb and I wanted to give her something more interesting so I went with one of those spiky 90s buns and I think it’s really cute and unique. 🐝
