immortality as theft (you have to steal life from something else) immortality as parasitism (there is something else inside You that is keeping you alive and you become less of yourself more and more the longer it stays in you) immortality as violence (everything is trying to kill you because everything is supposed to die and the universe will always try to find a way to right the wrong that is You) you understand
It turns out that, rather than space orcs, humans are more like space cats. We believe ourselves to be the best species in the galaxy when we actually are taken care of by more advanced aliens while doing little more than be adorable and destroy local wildlife when left to our own devices.
Redesigned my daughter
I don’t dislike her canon designs, I think they work for their intended purpose, but I wanted to try my hand at it. And today is my break so why no spend it on Marinette?
I self imposed the rule that the redesign has to be animation appropriate. I dislike how all the outfits in canon are skin tight, but it’s understandable since it’s in 3D. Clothing folds are the devil in animation. So in theory both redesigns could be used in the show!
These designs may or may not be for a series rewrite I might be working on. Maybe.
First of all I darkened her features. Black hair and brown eyes to resemble her mother more. It’s such a shame that her Chinese heritage is barely visible, and a travesty that a white boy is teaching her Mandarin. I’m disgusted.
I love Marinette in pink, so I kept that, mainly reversing where her colours go. An embroidered pair of dungarees should also show she’s a creative sewer. I added a couple little easter eggs in the embroidery.
My main problem with the Ladybug suit is that it looks like a second skin. Chat Noir’s suit is segmented and has thicker parts that aren’t skin tight, allowing it to look like a proper suit. Ladybug’s catsuit has no definition, and thus looks lackluster compared to Chat’s. This goes for all of her superhero suits. No definition. So that’s what I added. More layers and texture. Separate gloves and boots, and some wings that also pass for a cape! These will probably change in the future, I want her to have wings like a real ladybug, so the cape lifts up to reveal her real wings underneath. It’s a crime that Ladybug can’t fly. Can you imagine an air battle between Ladybug and Hawkmoth? Yes please!
Dunno when Adrien’s redesign will be done, but rest assured his awful shoes are the first things to go.
Put Some Clothes On!
But how? Winged humanoids sure do have some big limbs to work around when it comes to clothing.
(Here are the master posts for feathery wings and membranous wings)
(Description: sketches of a feathery winged humanoid and a bat-winged humanoid. They are standing with their wings curled around their naked bodies and look concerned.)
I’m using my oc Morianten and my new tutorial oc Teo as models for this. Because clothes are more fun to draw on someone with a face instead of a blank mannequin lol.
(Description: two images showing Morianten and Teo respectively to display basic clothing structure that accommodates feathery wings and bat wings respectively. Their outfits are pretty similar with some minor differences.)
Winged humanoids with feathery bird-like wings do have space between the wings and tail where you can add a belt. The basic structure is a halter top that fastens behind the neck and then again at the waist, with a big open space between so the wings are unobstructed. This would be put on at the neck first and then fastened at the waist. A belt can be added to attach a skirt or pants, which would be stepped into and pulled up to the base of the tail. Or the whole outfit can be a dress or jumpsuit that would be stepped into and then fastened at the waist and neck. Sleeves can be added, but they would require some specialization to stay up properly when they can’t attach to anything behind the arm.
Winged humanoids with bat-like wings do not have space for a belt, so their clothing is a little more shapeless. Think of a halter top jumpsuit or dress with an open back all the way down to the butt. It would be stepped into, pulled to the base of the tail, and then fastened at the neck. Just like the previous example, sleeves can be added but need a little extra specialization to stay up.
(Description: Mori and Teo from behind, modeling the different ways they keep their backs warm.)
Since they can’t just throw on a normal shirt, staying warm in cold weather does require some unique solutions. For the feathery wings, honestly their back feathers might be good enough. But if it’s not good enough, a panel that fastens to the back of the neck and the back of the waist should help. And it might require some help to put on. For the bat wings, there is no waist to attach things to, so a cape attached at the neck with enough weights in the hem to keep it in place will have to do.
(Description: Mori rocking a hood and Teo putting on some extra warm accessories.)
Hoods would be pretty easy to add to a halter top for winged people, it’s just a normal hood that might have to open in the back a little to go over the head and neck properly. Both types of winged people should be able to wear things like gloves and shoes perfectly fine, though if like me you are giving your winged people non-human feet you might have a trickier time giving them shoes.
I don’t think putting a wing cover over a feathery wing is a good idea, as it would disrupt the feathers and make flying extremely difficult. But maybe you could find a way to get a wing cover over the membranous wing. Maybe. It would be really tricky to get it to work right and be fitted properly to allow for flight. But if you want to do it, go for it, it’s fantasy bat people.
(Description: four colored drawings of Mori and Teo modeling different outfits. In the top left, Mori is wearing a cute pink outfit with a poofy skirt that has a lace pattern on the top and fancy criss-crossed straps at the neck with matching gladiator sandals. In the opposite lower right corner, Mori is wearing a cozy blue and purple outfit with a hooded short cape and a tunic with long sleeves, as well as mittens, pants, and knee high boots. Everything on this outfit has a fluffy lining.
In the top right, Teo is wearing a practical denim jumpsuit with a green front panel that has yellow flowers on it. This panel ends in a big front pocket. He is also wearing sturdy looking knee high boots. In the opposite lower left corner, Teo is wearing a very dramatic hooded robe in a dark blue color, with flowy sleeves and gold jewelery. There is also a grey tapestry panel at the front with gold fringe and bright blue designs along it.)
It is so much fun to take the basic clothing structures and see just how much you can push them, so go wild! Even the simple outfits can be spiffed up with fun colors and patterns. And just because the outfits kind of require a halter top for the sake of the wings doesn’t mean you can only do one style of clothing. You can make it masculine, feminine, androgynous, colorful, fancy, casual, etc
Clothing also helps display culture! So if you’re trying to worldbuild with winged people and you’re stuck on culture stuff, think about how their specific needs regarding clothing might have developed and been affected by their lifestyles or changed their lifestyles. Bat people can’t wear belts because they have no waist gap between the wings and tail, so maybe they developed clothing with lots of pockets. Maybe your feathery humanoids are very bird like in their behavior so they wear very shiny and colorful outfits with lots of frill! The possibilities are endless.
Winged People Clothing ((that actually makes sense))
So guess who realized that technically all of her characters have been wearing their shirts backward for like…the entire time she’s been drawing them.
Me. It was me.
Nailed it.
As you can see here, I used to draw them with their shirt…toga…wrap…thing..crossing in the front
Only oops. that means that there’s no gap in the back. So I fixed it.
and then I went on a bit of a spree to make sure I don’t have this issue again.
If anyone’s interested, I’ll put a bit more of a detailed explanation for these below the cut.

Idea: when fighting a werewolf, cast Invisibility on them!
Possible benefits: if moonlight isn’t shining on them (it would go through without reflecting) they might turn back into a person.
Possible downsides: invisible werewolf.
oh my god two words in that just UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
concept: an akuma that forces Ladybug and Chat Noir to play some version of the Newlywed Game. in order to beat the akuma they have to get enough questions about the other correct, but the questions often will be random obscure facts about their civilian lives. akuma magically knows the correct answers to all questions asked but still only asks completely useless questions that does nothing to help the butterfly figure out their identities, just enough to have ladybug baffled by how bad she is at guessing about what chat noir's personal life is like
Kinda wanna do more characters in this style it’s so silly and fun
