Welcome, charming thievery, glad to have another Miraculous watcher! Feel free to voice excitement, thoughts and/or speculation in this here thread, that's what it's for.

SOME LADYBURG FANART. I sort of combined modern superhero movie costume designs with an older Marinette/Adrien and came up with this:

Zoey Omg, I absolutely love it!! *o* It-it's so GOOD! xD I love the Eiffel Tower especially, but the action in those poses is spectacularly done! And I'm always so impressed with watercolor art...^^

And I'm always so impressed with watercolor art...^^ Thanks! Past year I've been working on a bunch of things art-wise--watercolor, anatomy, action, perspective, backgrounds, buildings, landscapes, etc. XD Always happy to try to do fanart after doing a bunch of studies to see if it's working! (also tbh sometimes their costumes bother me--mostly Ladyburg's--and sometimes I just wanna fly over there and be like HAI I CAN DESIGN SOMETHING MORE SLEEK AND STREAMLINED but they'll probably boot me out and be like "yo this is a show for young'uns, not like Marvel or DC") (also I really wanted to see them older and tbh I can't see Adrien wearing those cat ears and tail for forever, and neither the spots on Ladybug. XD I imagine Tikki and Plagg would be like "OKAY YOU GUYS ARE LEGAL ADULTS NOW, WE NEED TO UPGRADE")

Okay, I'm slowly catching up on episodes! (And am still way behind on this thread...still reading S1 comments, lol. But determined to read through it all lest I end up spoiling myself.) S2E1 thoughts: I really appreciate that it started off with PLOT, rather than the villain of the week formula. Wow, I didn't think they'd confirm who Hawkmoth was for us so soon (even though most of us knew who he was for a good part of S1, I think, lol), and even Marinette guessed it??? Poor Adrien...that must've hurt to even hear that his dad was a suspect...and his relief that it couldn't be him after all...It's gonna be so heart-breaking for him when it's all revealed... Though Hawkmoth...that...that was a good plan you had to avoid suspicion. I didn't realize he could akumatize himself. S2E2 thoughts: Chloe, omg, lol. I found it hilarious when she was constantly thwarting Hawkmoth...especially when she's the one who so often unwittingly helps him. xD
And omg! The dance!! xD They were so close...! *goes into a fit of fangirl giggles* Future S2 spoiler speculations: They seem to be trying to show Chloe in a more sympathetic light, probably to prepare us for when she becomes a Miraculous holder, huh?
I still don't know how to feel about the new additions to the team, honestly. I quite like my favorite ladybug and cat duo. :3 S2E3 thoughts: Okay, I thought this one was just downright hilarious, HAHA. xD The creator *definitely* knows what the draw of his show is, lol. I love how the whole interview was just to get them to admit they were dating! And both their horrified/mortified reactions to the clips...? I laughed. I laughed throughout the whole interview. Especially during that kiss shot, and Marinette just let out that squeal and Adrien was like, "WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?!?" I died. xD I bet he questioned Plagg about that after, lol. He's probably so upset he missed it. xD Okay, I gotta say, Chloe has some guts...she just talks back to her captor and is just way more affronted than scared, lol. Anyway...And Cat/Chat (how do you guys normally refer to him?) actually PURRED. omg...xD And his continual attempts to kiss Ladybug...I love how she's all "Not a chance." Also, when the interviewer (she's appeared in more than this episode, I know, but I forgot her name!) saw that Marinette wasn't taking care of her daughter...omg...Oh, Marinette, things just aren't working out for you, girl... Oh. And Cat Noir knows how to make an entrance. xD (So does Ladybug for that matter.) S2E4 thoughts: Aw, man, her granny had to interrupt right when she was going to open Adrien's gift...You know what? This sequence just reminded me of the Hey Arnold! episode when Arnold gives Helga a gift (granted, it's an April Fools Day prank, but she reacts the same way Marinette does). Adrien must've thought Marinette was really good at hiding, lol. I hope we get more Cat Noir/Marinette moments, 'cause I rather like them. They act the most normal around each other...neither one is distracted by their feelings. And have you guys seen this fanart?
It just so accurately portrays the love square (and the art is amazing!), and well, the Cat Noir/Marinette one is my favorite, LOL. Lastly...OMG ADRIEN THAT CHARM IS THE CUTEST THING EVER. Awww! <3 And he was looking at it afterward...*happy sigh* And...that's as far as I've gotten! Gotta binge watch more!! I'd forgotten how much I loved this show, but watching the new episodes have definitely made me remember. Plus, I like these more than S1.

Do you have any tips on resources or best ways to learn/practice? There are so many things I need to work on, but I don't know quite where to start. (But this probably isn't the thread to discuss that, haha.) Anyway, I think those studies are working quite well. :3 Haha, yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of Ladybug's costume either. :') I wonder if they ever will get any costume changes...? Well, I really like your concept and costume designs. ^^ It's always fun to imagine young characters as adults.

Well, I really like your concept and costume designs. ^^ It's always fun to imagine young characters as adults. yeah, the art threads would probably be better, but long story short, I just did a ton of drawing from life, photo references, going out and trying to sketch my little brother and his teammates during basketball games, etc. Youtube tutorials help, too! Apparently they asked Zagtoons (or whatever the company is called now) if Marinette would get a hairstyle change (I'm not the biggest fan of the pigtails, either, but I can sort of see why they made them like that, it's more Ladybug-y), and they basically said no, so I don't think there are going to be any costume changes...? Otherwise it might end up taking a turn like Winx Club (if you ever saw that back in the day) where half the appeal of the show is to see the new outfits/hairstyles they get every season LOL! Personally I have a thing for Marinette having that uneven angled bob style. Although, apparently they might get new powers, which is pretty neat. Although I think Marinette's Lucky Charm is pretty over-powered, as it's basically a Deux ex Machina machine LOL!

Zoey oooh, such neat action poses and highlights and dramatic moving sky and trees!! (also tbh sometimes their costumes bother me--mostly Ladyburg's--and sometimes I just wanna fly over there and be like HAI I CAN DESIGN SOMETHING MORE SLEEK AND STREAMLINED but they'll probably boot me out and be like "yo this is a show for young'uns, not like Marvel or DC") (also I really wanted to see them older and tbh I can't see Adrien wearing those cat ears and tail for forever, and neither the spots on Ladybug. XD I imagine Tikki and Plagg would be like "OKAY YOU GUYS ARE LEGAL ADULTS NOW, WE NEED TO UPGRADE") Waitaminnit, which part of her costume isn't sleek or streamlined enough at the moment? I quite love how simple their costumes are. D: And I'm gonna have to disagree on design. What's the point of being an adult if you don't get to wear kitty ears and tails or spots?! D8 And... and how can you have Bugaboo and Kitty Cat if you don't have kitty ears or bugaboo spots?? >8C (They do look good despite the lack of spots or kittyness >_>) *huggles precious 14-year-old heroes* Have fun with costumes and please take good care of our little 14-year-old hero cheeldrun and stay well away from Bikini Armor Battle Damage ;~;

I have caught up with all the episodes released so far!! (Still not with this thread though, lol.) I'm so excited to watch episode 7, HOHOHOHOHO! XD yeah, the art threads would probably be better, but long story short, I just did a ton of drawing from life, photo references, going out and trying to sketch my little brother and his teammates during basketball games, etc. Youtube tutorials help, too! Apparently they asked Zagtoons (or whatever the company is called now) if Marinette would get a hairstyle change (I'm not the biggest fan of the pigtails, either, but I can sort of see why they made them like that, it's more Ladybug-y), and they basically said no, so I don't think there are going to be any costume changes...?

Personally I have a thing for Marinette having that uneven angled bob style. Although, apparently they might get new powers, which is pretty neat. Although I think Marinette's Lucky Charm is pretty over-powered, as it's basically a Deux ex Machina machine LOL! Oh, thank you! ^^ Hehe, I rather like the pigtails (though it is weird that they don't move like, at all? And there's no loose hair or whatever. They're more pigtail buns than anything, haha). Ooh, I love short hairstyles, especially angled bobs. :3 New powers?? OwO Personally, I want Cat Noir to be able to purify those akumas too. It made me sad when Adrien first realized he wouldn't be able to defeat them by himself. Like, what happens if Ladybug isn't there or can't use her Lucky Charm for whatever reason?? Are they just doomed then? Really, Hawkmoth's schemes should all just center on trying to put Ladybug's Lucky Charm out of commission. Then he'd have an easier time trying to steal their miraculouses.

SOOOOOO that new episode 7 though. Well, the premise was kinda cringe-y--Marinette trying this elaborate scheme to romance Adrien in the cheesiest of ways--but it was a fun episode nonetheless. I love how mad Hawkmoth got after he akumatized the baby. I feel like he should've had a little bit more forethought on that. XD I love the whole "planning" scene in the beginning as well when they were trying the code names and Rose was just so darn confused. She was adorable. ^.^ Just use colors or the Greek alphabet next time, Marinette! The poor no parking sign. No follow-up on its well-being so far. D:

I haven't been able to find it subbed or dubbed! (Granted, I'm just looking at YT uploads so far, but...) I really want to watch it! D: Edit: Thank you, Zoey , you wonderful person. xD Edit x2: ...Why won't it let me correct that space before the comma? It bugs me so much... S2E7 Comments: LOL, everyone knows who Marinette likes. Well, she *is* so obvious. xD And those post-it drawings are adorable. ^^ Hawkmoth's reactions to that baby are hilarious! This was probably the most entertaining akumatization(?) to date, at least as far as Hawkmoth is concerned. I'm happy Marinette did work up the nerve to talk to Adrien directly, even if she still didn't manage to ask him to go for a walk. But I want more progress!! Now that I'm all caught up and can't binge-watch, every moment counts! Gimme more next episode, 'kay? Also, the translator's comments on the subbed video I watched were amusing, haha. Not *really* related to the episode, but man, based on YT spoilers, I was expecting something more exciting to happen this episode. Guess that probably won't come until the last. :/

Can't akumatize Parisians too old or too young, Mr. Agreste! XD
And yes, I love it when subbers put in their own comments. I think one version I saw the subber had taken the baby's happy squealing over the fake Ladybug lollipop and translated it as "FRIGGIN' LOLLIPOP YAAAASSS"
