Loved When I Started Working On This, I Had A Clear Picture In My Head And When I Came Around To The

So me and my sister saw Ladybug and Cat Noir: the MOVIE a few weeks ago, and because I have planned uploads up to next Valentine’s Day, this was the first best opening I could squeeze in an Awakening-thing.

So… I’m not a big musical-fan. Well, I like High School Musical but that’s it. Well, musicals feel like they pause the plot for the characters to sing out the plot but I did kind of like this one and Reaching Out was absolutely my favorite song. Lord, I can’t explain how hard “Is it enough to just be me” hit me.

But short movie-review, see how much I remember… I liked it. It wasn’t perfect, the fact it was a musical didn’t land for me. Marinette’s voice, everyone has already complained about it so I will move on.. I liked the characters a little more here. I liked a Marinette without the creepy obsession, I liked a broody lonely Adrien. Gabriel… I feel like he could have needed another design in the end cause I wasn’t really sure what exactly akumatizing himself meant… he just made the water into lava and I was supposed to accept I guess.. would have loved the S5-design but I know I’m alone in liking that design so… where was Nathalie? She was just there, I don’t remember if she knew or if she just was an assistant this time?

Idk, I should have written this while my memories were fresh, 7/10. Might rewatch. Wasn’t sure about the love-story, at least here it moved faster but didn’t feel it had much ground. At least in the show, it’s this apologetic sweet moment in the rain between Marinette and Adrien and it’s Cat seeing how cool and badass Ladybug is but here it’s just the two of them helping the other from the ground. But… they’re also both like 14 so maybe they don't need more.

First thing I drew after being back from Comic Con and listening to so many great and funny artists. Had a lot of back and forth after that if I wanted to do this after hearing them speak about pin-ups and professional work and “the craft to tell a story in a single image” and this had very much no real thought or value other than playing with settings and showcasing my own growth.

An update on my very first Max way back to early 2022. I love how it’s almost an updated version but also very much it’s own pin-up as well.

Can’t grasp that tomorrow will be a whole year since I first bought the game. Want to replay it but it feels too soon. No clue if I would make anything different.

"Max, it's time"
