Chloe and Zoe's relationship in a nutshell

My redesign of vesperia. Her original design was fine but it felt like a downgrade from queen bee who had one of my favorite designs of the superheroes.

With the original design I didn’t care for how big and thick the black pieces were in front of her face and I didn’t love the stripes.

I decided to keep a lot of the V shapes but I softened them a bit. I also moved the antennas from the back to the front since she’s wearing a braid and they don’t make much sense to me where they are.

I changed her mask a lot (the original was kind of awful imo) and added little stinger details.

I don’t have much else to say, I wanted to stay somewhat close to her canon design but make her feel more bee like.

Kitty noir redesign, I had a lot of fun with this one. I changed a lot including her hair, shoes, markings, eye color, mask, lipstick, and general color scheme.

In my opinion the original design was a mess. I don’t know if it was intentional or not but there was a lot going.

Because there was a lot going on in the og design I did make the redesign pretty complicated with a lot of patterns and green accents. I kept her hair cut mostly the same though I took away the green ombré and fixed her bangs a bit. I kept the waist line of the original pants and the little half jacket thing. I changed pretty much everything else.

First off I don’t know why they made her purple but she can’t be black kitty without being black so I made her suit black.

I also didn’t like how this costume broke the precedent they had set of there being no exposed skin. Kitty noir had her ankles wrists and backs of her hands exposed so I changed it to be more like the other suits.

I don’t know why they made her eyes yellow but I felt like they clashed with her hair and skin tone so I made them the same blue color as Zoe’s eyes.

I added some stripe details to her mask added more green ( as opposed to yellow I don’t know why they made her accents yellow ) to the overall design and gave her green claws. I figured adding so much more green would set her apart from chat noir and lady noir.

Finally I gave her black lipstick because that neon yellow green color was the part I most disliked about her design ( though the show does consistently give characters awful lip colors). Since I think they were trying to be alternative or something with the yellow green color I figured black would also be alternative and also more cohesive and readable.

Anyway I feel like the black cat miraculous is one of the easiest to design for and they made so many interesting decisions for Zoe. Especially with the color scheme which was pretty far from the established black cat color scheme.

I changed my vesperia redesign because her hair was just not it. The braid doesn’t work for the comb and I wanted to give her something more interesting so I went with one of those spiky 90s buns and I think it’s really cute and unique. 🐝
