Guess who FINALLY has started @a-s-levynn's Series Of Small Offerings!!!
PART ONE Thread the Needle
Just look at where we're lying / An invisible space
It turns out i look at the proposed lyrics and suddenly get a Thought™ and follow it, so prepare for the offerings to be weird. In this case i thought of the invisible space being between Vessel and his mask, at the very beginning, before Vessel, before Him.
You can interpret it any way you want, i don't know what that means either, I just like dark drawings with a single source of light. Prepare to a lot of offerings like this too.
And apologies for the quality, I hate this paper, but I like the size of this notebook, do you see my problem

SHE'S FINALLY DONE
Ok, so for those of you who don't know, i've been talking about redesigning miraculous ladybug for like. two years now? But i've finally settled on designs that I actually like, so here's Marinette!
Design notes and other stuff below!:
So, before anything else, I wanted to go a slightly different direction with her design: I genuinely like the canon civilian outfit, but it almost feels...professional? I get that she's taking commissions and stuff, but like. I don't think that tells us a lot about Marinette as a person.
I gave her a pair of overalls and sneakers, with a big, poofy sweater, cuz I thought it would look fun
My idea for both her and Adrien's design is that in whatever form they're in, they're sharing the same color palette mostly, hence the speckles of green in her design
This is also why there's minimal white in her design: I'm designating white as the Agreste color
I imagine this version of Marinette as being a kind of shy person, but one who's very passionate about things she believes in. The kind of person who, in the wrong circumstances, comes off as a bit of an ass.
U remember in the sereis when, for the first episode, Marinette thought Adrien was as bad as Chloe? I actually wanted to extend that into a half-a-season arc
Speaking of color, I don't like how the series color-codes (or just forgets to color-code) it's characters: logically, Marinette's main color should be red, with hints of black in her design, but instead its...pink?
Like, Rose is already pink, why is Marinette pink, too? just for the magical girl thing of pink=main character?
And y'all, don't even get me started on the others. Alya's main color is orange because fox, Adrien has black in his design, with hints of green (and also purple and orange? why?) and nino...
Like, the rest of the class is color-coded to their miraculous for the most part, why is it JUST the main 4 characters?
(ok, Sabrina ALSO technically isn't color coded correctly...but still)
So, I have marinette in a rainbow sweater for a big reason: In this redesign/rewrite, Marinette doesn't know what she wants to do with her life, so her main "color" (until a turning point) is tie-dye/gradient
I also tweaked her design a bit in other ways
Her earrings have tassels because 1. Tikki goes into the tassel and it swings around to enter the actual earring, and 2. I thought it looked cool.
