LAST Official Art Post of 2024! The year I promised myself no more Miraculous and then just kept on drawing it anyways. Have like a hundred ideas of stuff I want to do in 2025 as well as no plans to ever watch the show again at the same time. I just lack the pride to keep watching a kids show. This is a fun paradox, don’t remember anything related to this in psychology. Maybe the idea of you watching shows based on stuff you want and this reminds me of a childhood I felt I missed?

Watching these kids finding these friends, skills, confidence and maturity lies closer to what I wished I had as a child and what felt like the lives many around me led. I spent my days staring into the wall in the school corridor or up at the moon before going to bed wondering about my place in the world and finding questions for everything between “what’s outside the known universe” and “do I deserve to breathe the same air as my classmates?” Apparently, my parents’ tactic of constantly reminding me of my diagnosis and differences did NOT have any positive result on my mental health :D, who figured.

I’m glad that I have all that today. A back bone, a small but diverse social life, an actual close relationship with my family and pride to go outside the door. But this show just takes that and makes me regret I didn’t find it sooner.

So my relationship with this show is something I have been wondering about a lot this year and seems to be a mix of escapism and weird sense of nostalgia to small moments of fun and acceptance and also, regrets of why I didn’t just do this or that or blah.

So going into 2025, I have an updated sense of what I want to draw, not to draw, what I want my stuff to say, the overall feeling and vibe of the individual ideas and what kind of artwork I can find myself sharing with my social group. And Miraculous have found a way into that mix.

So cheers to the new year and a happy warning, if you’re still following me, you’re not getting rid of these two. Nor me, feeling sorry for myself, but I’m working on that last part.

Found an article about TDKR and how it uses colours and wanted to draw some Batman

But to be fair, I always want to draw some Batman

Were originally planning to just redraw an old basic post, the two of them jumping over a rooftop but felt… nah. I’m not satisfied with my Miraculous-work. I need to do something big, something detailed, something filled with love and wow and oof. And I had done like posters and phone-backgrounds before but never given Miraculous a real character-filled wallpaper before like Spider-Man, Star Wars or Justice League so here! Probably my most claustrophobic wallpaper yet but actually losing to both Spider-Man 2 and Life is Strange with just 15 characters compared to their 16! But this is filled with full body-drawings, fully drawn, zero traced faces or anything and took like a week to make thanks to also working now, so the longest project to date! You’re welcome!

I wanted something to represent the whole Agreste-Saga and had a ton of different ideas and sketches to pick from. There was the book, the rings, the wall between them, all the supportive casts including drama, rivals, a mysterious cousin, 5 whole seasons of stories but I think I managed to mush it all down to one final product!

Some things I want to get done before New Year are just some re-drawings of stuff I wasn’t happy with.

First was the Chat Noir-post which itself was a redrawing of an older Miraculous Day-post.

This new one is closer to the original and more symmetric. Doesn’t feel as all-over-the-place as V.2 and looks better side-by-side with Ladybug.

Years ago, my brother asked if DC had their own “Stan Lee”. I remember I said “no, not as far as I know, but there was this one guy…”

Gardner Fox created many big characters for DC, like Barbara Gordon, Amazo, Dr. Light, Dr. Fate, Ray Palmer, Hawman, Hawkgirl, Zatanna, OG Flash and many more, as well as creating the first superhero team, The Justice Society of America as well as their more famous successors, The Justice League.

So a big happy birthday, mr. Fox, thank you and may you rest in peace.
