MY BOYS ARE FINALLY HOME.

[seventeenlovesthree]

I fell down the(ir) rabbit hole and can't get out anymore.

[seventeenlovesthree]

See, it's not like I don't have a million other drafts to work on, but since I was so happy about finally getting my boys, I also had to think... If there was a SnowAgumon figurine... Would it be the Miraculous Tentobug AU equivalent of Taichi/Agu Noir turning into Chat Blanc SkullGreymon...?

[seventeenlovesthree]

As a little follow-up comic to this... I am still obsessed with the Miraculous Tentobug Taishirou AU and even though there are probably a million potential scenarios on how the reveal COULD go down... This is still one of my favourites. Because they'll always be ready to sacrifice themselves for each other - regardless of whether they wear the respective mask or not.

I've been having these doodles in my drafts for over a year now and while they're far from perfect, thought about finally colouring them. Especially since it's been a while since I posted Miraculous Tentobug concept art.

I really wanted to draw Sora in a non!chibi way and also had a lot of fun experimenting with a Future!Hikari design - not only would she be the Bunnyx of my AU, capable of traveling back in time, but her design would already have "evolved", combining elements of both Tailmon and Angewomon.

Additionally, switching Crests among the characters is always a blast - especially because I would love to integrate all of these into the actual story. I already have an idea for why Sora would temporarily take the Crest of Knowledge - and Taichi having the Crest of Light is a little gag (which would actually turn into a strategy at some point) I used here.

It's a bit tricky, but the costumes would never be a 1:1 copy for every character - they would always maintain individual features every single time, hence why Taichi (obviously) would not have the same design as Hikari while carrying the Crest of Light.

I've been wanting to draw their transformation for aaaaages and it's been a great distraction today.

@taikouvember Day 1: The Multiverse: Canon vs. AU

One of my favourite AUs of recent times has been my own little Miraculous Ladybug Taishirou AU; and since the series itself has been delving pretty deep into its own multiverse this year, I thought there was no better opportunity than to pay homage to the movie that came out this year. Granted, it doesn't play out exactly as it did there - but even if my own version of the reveal was a little bit more on the dramatic side, the movie scene was peak romantic cheese and hasn't left my mind ever since I watched it. I wouldn't mind my OTP to find happiness and a happy end like this after all...

Bonus: My personal idea of a post-credit scene:

[seventeenlovesthree]

Miraculous Ladybug, its various iterations and current developments still have a strong hold on me at the moment, so I was clearing some of my drafts again - drawing Taishirou as Marichat is really fun, especially because I just can't help but feel for these oblivious idiots in love... Plus, even if I have hundreds of pages for this AU in my head, I might never write all of it down for real, so having them thought vomit on two pages has to do!

@izumikoushiroweek: Day 2 - Alternate Universe(s)

With Koushirou being my favourite Digimon character, it should come as no surprise that I have developed several little AUs of varying (yet similar) genres over the years. Let me shortly elaborate on my 4 absolute favourites:

Purple: The "Magical Girl Boy" AU: I've written entire meta-analysis posts on why I think that Toei loves to parallel Sailor Moon and Digimon with one another and Koushirou is probably one of my favourite examples for why that may work out perfectly. The Sailor Moon AU is very dear to me, I have yet to improve my magical boy costume for him and the others, but at least we have something similar already...

Red: The "Miraculous Ladybug" AU: Ah yes, the smart hero with a little ladybug partner that holds some some kind of magical device(s), who needs to protect the world from evil and corrupted butterflies... I've already turned Koushirou into a Magical Boy, the Superhero idea wasn't far off after all. And "Miraculous Tentobug" basically hasn't left my brain ever since (and yes, the lovesquare plays a role here too, but shhh).

Pink: The "Cyberpunk" AU: After having watched Cowboy Bebop, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, X/1999 and various other series with influences of the past and present, I couldn't help but think of a... Darker interpretation of the genius trope. While the previous AUs were all about maintaining justice, this one is a little bit more based on restoring justice. Basically having a young man who's willing to use (and sacrifice) his intellect to protect and save the ones he loves, but with more of a twisted, loyalty and vengeance based mindset.

Orange: The "Little Mermaid" AU: Last but not least, last year's Koushirou week made me rethink my Disney AUs and I still maintain that this one is just a perfect fit for SO many reasons that it just makes me incredibly giddy.

Since I’m currently revisiting old art, ideas, AUs and after finishing a fic-rec list for Taishirou, I came right back to @god-fucking-dammit-mizutani’s fanfiction series “Miraculous Koushirou!” once more. I’ve already made (concept) art for them back in June 2021 - but I still wanted to explore the potential “Love Square” in this a little more. It all depends on who’d crush on whom first, but I do believe the original dynamic in an AU setting holds up quite well, with Koushirou, being the “Ladybug” (or rather the “Tentobug”?) in this universe, crushing on “civilian Taichi” first, whereas Taichi (romantically) falls for Koushirou’s super hero alias first. (By the way, there actually is a BlackAgumon in the Digimon universe, so calling Taichi “AguNoir” might actually not be the worst choice, don’t you think?)

[seventeenlovesthree]

Guess who’s been watching Miraculous Ladybug again and got her head stuck in Miraculous Tentobug once more (see here and here)? Introducing concept chibi art of his companions, AguNoir, PiyoRouge and... KnifeOfGabu probably, that name is still work in progress, as is his entire design.

Edit: Original hair and eye colours:

And more edge for KnifeOfGabu + Tentobug’s alternate/guardian design:

[seventeenlovesthree]

Initially, I wanted to continue the first streak of character designs for my Miraculous Tentobug!AU (following up with the designs for Mimi, Jyou, Takeru and Hikari) and on my way there I remembered why I’m so love with a lovesquare situation happening to Taishirou. With neither Tentobug nor AguNoir knowing the identity of the other, Koushirou crushing on civilian Taichi and Taichi crushing on Koushirou’s superhero alias, you could also call it Miraculous Nuts after all...

[seventeenlovesthree]

Since both my magical boy!AUs have taken over my life completely - this was initially a scene for the Sailor Moon!AU, but Miraculous!AU can be just as deliciously angsty. (It’s also a little callback to this here... I do love me some manipulation tropes.)

[seventeenlovesthree]

Because today has been a pretty chill Tuesday and I’ve had “Miraculous Ladybug” running in the back, I remembered that I still wanted to doodle something for @god-fucking-dammit-mizutani‘s fanfiction series “Miraculous Koushirou” (because really, it’s pretty amazing and I’m not deep enough into all those magical girl/boy Digimon headcanons already). I highly recommend reading the story! I took some creative liberties with the designs here, but I hope you might still like them, Lala.
