Although I love kagamis new style you gave her I feel like the whole point of her “uniform” was to show that she was still heavily appealing to her mothers precise perception of her. Just like how Adrian dresses neat because of his father and his influence in fashion. Maybe kagamis new style could be something that slowly shifts throughout the story and is her little way of rebeling against her mother in secret (since she’s blind and can’t see)
I like to hope that Adrien still has an appreciation for fashion due to growing up with it, similar to Chloe (which is why I'm disappointed with their hero designs).
I actually really liked the uniform because it was a nice homage to anime(mahou shoujo anime in particular), because ladybug is a total ripoff from "Tokyo mew mew" and all of the precure series put together. But since Callie's version is not a total ripoff, I guess your version of incorporating the uniform and style change is really cool!
Yeah, her mom controls her with everything she does.. kagami doesn't do a single thing or have a single hobby her mom doesn't want. If anything id expect kagami to have more traditional and more conservative clothing styles since her mother probably picks out and dresses her with the clothes she (her mother) likes. kagami has a very controlling parent like adrian, thats why they bonded so much
in a better written plot kagami can start out wearing the uniform, and then transition into/sneak out and wear an outfit that is actually fitting to her
*Yes, she's blue now* I haven't actually watched the video yet, but I was immediately interested in the blue design because a) It would contrast with Marinette's red colour scheme and b) Draws a closer connection to water and weather elements than red; I highly doubt any dragon with weather powers were depicted as red edit: OH Also also, that would make it a literal representation of her and Marinette's red oni, blue oni dynamic
And Dragon Bug being red would fit with her being a dragon of fortune related with the sun (ladybug's influence) and it would fit even more as a fusion
In Chinese mythology the opposite of the dragon is the phoenix, and I think the peacock has strong symbology to suggest that there's a nod there to the two being opposites. I think that they should have rolled with the four guardian beasts more rather than less.
Honestly, I love the design but, since Kagami's mom is so controlling, maybe that the "street fashion" wouldn't do it... don't get me wrong, it's perfect for Kagami, but I really see her having this style when she will be free from her mother influence and the pression she put on herself to be perfect. Maybe it's just me tho, it's still is incredible ^^ And I love the super-hero design too !
(if anyone is genuinely still watching this show spoilers ahead) it is being implied in the show rn that both adrien and kagami are sentimonsters which is how they are both so “perfect”. their parents are in full control of both of their actions and their parents want them to date which makes their whole relationship in hindsight feel so forced to me 😭 the writing of this show has me banging my head against the wall constantly why did they do this
I'll forever be frustrated that "Miracle Queen" occured because Marinette was jealous of Adrien spending time with Kagami--and she never took reaponsibility for it!
Marinette really just didn't care about Kagami. And I seriously wish Kagami would've cut her friendship with Marinette out. It's not healthy to be friends with her. And Kagami deserves better than Marinette as a friend.
@@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaDooplivian I'll be honest: I'm not entirely sure Kagami should be friends with Adrien either. His father is emotionally abusive and Kagami called him in "Risk" about how he didn't have the nerve to stand up to his dad. All his friends misunderstood the situation.
@@OpticalSorcerer honestly kagami is new to making friends which is why she has trouble understanding other ppls emotions. Plus marinette is starting to care for her as a friend more. I dont think that means she should cut off everyone. Thats just my opinion tho.
Marinette never takes responsibility for anything it feels like. The show wants her to be quirky and relatable while also being the pinnacle of goodness, but instead of finding a good balance of these two, like in Spiderman, they keep doing both independently from each other, leading to this really contradictory protagonist (someone kids should really not be looking up to😬)
17:21 it was a draw, and yes, Marinette gave Adrien the win, but the point was that Kagami was taught not to accept defeat and that led to her akumatization, but at the end of the episode Adrien talks to her about it and his kindness was one of the things that makes Kagami start to like him. Trying to show that you can lose and that it might not be so bad seems like a good concept to me.
That sounds about right. Plus, let’s be honest, Adrien did the exact same thing in Copycat because of his petty jealous, so I actually see that situation as karma for Adrien’s own actions.
I think there was a comment awhile back from an avid fencer who watches MLB. They said that it was Adrien's win in that duel with Kagami. I don't remember the exact details since I don't understand the sport all that well, but it sounded legit.
@@teragram38crows49 that's good because that's the meaning of the episode and the first interaction between Adrien and Kagami, Kagami doesn't need to be good at absolutely everything, it's okay to lose sometime, the simple fact that she fought so hard is already very good.
The show did Kagami dirty, honestly. I still don't know why most fans still villanise her, as if she was super mean to Marinette or smth, just because she's interested in the boy that Mari likes. Marinette and Kagami are a great(but missed) opportunity to show that romantic rivalry doesn't necessarily ruin a close friendship between two people. And would be a good lesson too.
Talent only goes so far, hard work and dedication is something that pushes their works to callimaras level and beyond. It's all about the work you put in, don't worry about the results now, focus on your future, and enjoy what you do.
I love how as a miraculous holder, Ryuko has part of Phoenix Wright's Japanese first name (Ryuichi) and as a civilian, Kagami's last name is Edgeworth's Japanese last name (Mitsurugi) but with one less syllable.
Honestly, Kagami's name is the weebiest shit I've ever scene. It calls back to little baby me with a character named Yuki Hoshi (Snow Star, for those wondering). Kagami means "mirror" and Tsurugi means "sword". For a girl descended from Samurai to be named "Mirror Sword"... Uh-huh... They couldn't even put any effort in to making her name sound less like a pre-teen's "original character"? Come on, now. lmfao
@@RenAsterion Pre-teen's OC? Nah. Yandere Simulator character? Absolutely. I mean, at least Kagami is an actual Japanese name, but could have done better on the last name than to make that kind of a pun. Although the pun name is yet another tie Kagami has to ace attorney
You actually swapped Kagami's and Ryuko's concept appearance, Kagami's outfit is symmetrical and more restrained, while Ryuko's costume is asymmetrical and "imperfect", Kagami has always been required to be perfect, but her costume as Ryuko is her thing and to suit her vision and not someone else's vision of what she should be, and this is what the asymmetry of her suit represents, it's not "perfect" but it's still beautiful!
I liked Kagami from the beginning, I already knew that the relationship between her and Adrien would not end well so there was no point in feeling any negative emotions, the fact that I liked Adrinete didn't mean that I had to hate Kagami and Luka because they were "geting in the way" of Adrien and Marinete(as if they don't already have problems because of themselfs 😗), and I didn't mind Kagami's colder attitude because it wouldn't be funny if all the characters were the same, and in the moments where she had a hard time socializing she was relatable to me, everyone has been through a situation where you wanted or had to interact with another person but it was difficult.
Wow, unless the show blatantly rips your story off (which Astruc is too narcissistic to do) this is guaranteed to be the best way to end the story. So much better than the actual plot, I got chills when I realized where it was going!
I don’t usually leave comments so I know this is very late and it probably won’t make its way to Cali, but either way, I just had to say: Oh. My. God. As someone who unfortunately had an obsession with Miraculous at one point, I have to say that your version of the story compelled me more in a few hours than the real show did in YEARS of lazy storytelling and baiting the fandom. The story was cohesive, dynamic, and ultimately way more satisfying that Miraculous ever was. I’m in awe of how talented and creative you are, both in an artistic and story-telling perspective. I’m so glad that you’re taking the time to complete the story despite being busy with Wildward (which also has me hooked) because now I’m invested and I might die if I don’t get a resolution. So, even though I’m sure you already have an idea of how you’d like the story to end, here are some suggestions: 1. Adrigami and Lukanette as endgame 10000%. The amount of chemistry the characters had, especially in your rewrite, had me giggling and kicking my feet hearing you describe their interactions. Their personalities compliment each other perfectly and getting to see them develop as characters would be super satisfying (plus I live for the fluff) 2. Platonic Adrinette/Ladynoir. Marinette and Adrien most likely became friends first since she had a “crush” on him and I think it would be super cute to see them become best friends in their civilian forms. For example, Adrien would learn about Marinette’s talent in designing and offer to model some of her designs for their own private fashion shoot like he did in the episode Reflekdoll. As for Ladybug and Cat Noir, I’d like to think they’d vent to each other about their civilian problems while on patrol (vaguely of course, as to not risk their identities) and either give advice or just hear each other out. I also think it would be cute if Cat Noir still called Ladybug “Bugaboo” as a nickname because he knew that it annoyed her, but she eventually grew fond of it. Maybe after the show’s revolution, Adrien would call Marinette “Bugaboo” as a little homage to their bond. 3. Potential Gabriel redemption arc. Whether or not you’re thinking of having Gabriel go to jail or not face any consequences with the law, it would be nice to see him learning how to HEALTHILY deal with his grief over Emilie instead of being a hermit in his own home. I think it would be interesting to see Gabriel and Adrien have another family dinner, but Adrien is way more open with his true personality as the dinner continues and it makes Gabriel realize how little he actually knows his son. Natalie would definitely be a huge part of his redemption, helping him reconnect with Adrien after the events of the show. Maybe even subtly tease a potential romance between Gabriel and Natalie, but don’t confirm anything to keep us on our toes and let us draw our own conclusions. 4. Redesign Nino!! While I don’t think he was a big enough character to have any actual effect on the plot (unlike in the show where he messed it up for everybody), he’s still Adrien’s best friend and Alya’s boyfriend, so I think he’s worthy of a redesign. I’d love to see him keep a mostly canon personality (maybe less annoying) while this Adrien is much more socially awkward so Nino can help him get up to speed with teen culture and learn how to socialize with kids their age. And maybe Adrien could help Nino do homework or study with him, seeing as I always headcannoned Nino as someone who struggles in school. I mean, the man has headphones on him at all times, his ass is NOT listening. If I come up with anything else, I’ll edit the comment, but that’s all I got as of right now. Keep up the amazing work, Cali!!
Hey, Calimara? About the whole imposter syndrome/perfectionism/disappointment thing, I wanted you to know that while you may compare yourself to artists that are "better than you", My sister and I, as very amateur artists, compare ourselves to YOU! We always talk about how jealous we are of your insane skills and creativity. Take heart, even if you begin to feel like a lesser artist again, because no matter what, there will always be those who look up to you. :)
OMG!!! yess! finally someone understands that it feels like Marinette is only after Adrien for his outer personality (being Adrien) and how terrible that is! if she really wanted to know the true him she wouldn’t be fawning over the perfection his father has molded him into. Kagami would make a way better candidate for Adrien because she understands his struggle, not just going after him because she’s an obsessive stalker like Marinette. I’m genuinely so happy in this version he didn’t end up with Marinette. In the show, it just would seem like a terrible relationship, and that’s proved by that one episode where Adrien finds out Marinette is Ladybug. It seemed like he only went after her because she is Ladybug, not for Marinette. And vice-versa for Marinette! Thank you soo much Calimara! Been here since day one and i’m so happy with the ending! 💕
This redesign is absolutely gorgeous. I love your rewrite, it's hilarious that the fandom writes a better plot and characters than professional writers. Can't wait for the epilogue. Also, could you maybe do a redesign for the kwamis?
I love your redesigns and I am obsessed with this kagami. It didnt really sit right with me having kagami's design based off of a Chinese dragon when she is Japanese, and japanese mythology has dragons as well. I was happy that you paid attention to detail on kagami's samurai ancestry. Keep on doing what your doing, you have a talent.♡♡♡
The interesting part of Japanese dragons is that they are based of Chinese ones. Japan has even adapted some particular dragons from China. Azure dragon being one of them.
So in the end, Adrian basically pulled a True Reset? With the destruction of the Miraculous, it will be like the Universe resetting after Father Pucci gets killed by Emporio. Things go on as normal, just without the Miraculous' influence this time. Marinette will still figure out that she doesn't really like Adrian, and will help Kagami get with him (Not that she needs to, as you said.). Chloe would get all the development she got as Queen Bee, just without the Miraculous' influence. Everything. I like that. I can live with that, if that's what happens.
Really hope Nino gets a redesign. Dude might be the blandest character in Miraculous (which is rather impressive) but he was a member of the original team from Heroes Day. I feel like that earns him some love/respect
The street fashion look would work only when Kagami is no longer emotionally under the control of her mother. It wouldn't work for her now since her look literally contradicts her AS A PERSON.
I actually liked the idea of kagami preferring street fashion. I think it would be intreating if maybe her mother doesn't approve of her clothing choices, and that could creat intresting interactions between them.
Hey Calli, I wanted to let you know that it's normal to dislike old art. You're improving. That's part of growth. All you need to be satisfied with is your art of today. You're incredible and we love you.
The danger of making a character who is the love rival in a story where the couple are already in love because of "fate" is that you might get tired of knowing that they will end up together anyway, even if there is conflict you know that the main couple is kind of forced to stay together while the rivals can fall in love with the protagonists for other reasons. Obviously this is not mandatory, but it's kind of sad to see a story where the main couple just like each other and continue to like even in impossible situations where the rival would actually be the best matches for them, like, I literally saw an anime of a protagonist who broke up with his girlfriend, got a new love and ended up leaving her to go back to dating his first love even though he stayed away from her and theoretically forgotten her, and yet he just sees her again and come back to like her at the same instant. That was tough, the new girlfriend didn't deserve it 😔
Kagami was instantly my favorite character the second I met her, I'm so happy to see her done right 🤩 she's beautiful and even more of a badass than in the actual show. And it might take a while but I think I wanna try and make an animatic for Kagami and Adrien's chat cause it was just so sweet 🥰 You did an amazing job as always, Callimara!
kagami just seems like the characters 1 writer who had good ideas but was shut down so much, but finally one character was excepted so they put everything they had into making her a good character
Still think Mad Dog should've been called Hellhound imo, but THIS WAS AMAZING KAGAMI LOOKS SO REGAL AND WHAT A CLIFFHANGER IM SUPER EXCITED FOR WILDWARD TOO THAT MIGHTVE BEEN TOO MUCH SHOUTING
As much as I love her civilian design and find it beautiful and perfectly matching her personality, her mother brought her up to be a perfect soldier, so it makes sense that the outfit she wears and her hair is dull and lacking personality. I think it would be good if maybe she doesn't start dressing like this until later in the show. But that's just my opinion.
I absolutely LOVE Kagami!! She's best girl, and your redesign of her is simply GORGEOUS, she looks PERFECT (also, thanks for changing her hair, she looks better with it than with her og helmet hair)
If you are feeling dissatisfied with your past drawings then that might be an indication that you are growing as an artist! Btw I think your art work is to die for I love your style ❤
i think they gave her a red and black suit JUST MAINLY because she had a red, black and white colour pallet in her civilian form and was like, 'oH hEy, ThAt SuItS hEr OuTfIt PeRfEcTlY'
Omg I can’t wait for the next episode! I got chills at hearing Chat Noir’s wish. This might be an actual way to close up the series while dealing with the little ones who want to have actual miraculous powers. Also- if you want other redesign but not story resign characters, I’d recommend Harry Potter. The uniforms can be a bit plain and I’d like to see what creative liberties you’d take. Maybe a black Hermione? Who knows! Lovely video, as always, and be sure to drink some water and eat some chocolate
The dragon design looks soo cool!!! I love how the "black" part is irredescent, and the way you drew the scales is eye candy. I agree with other commenters that the point of the uniform was to show how under her mother's control she was, but considering that she's the more assertive how of her and Adrien, it does make sense that she would have a more personalized outfit that him. And your civilian redesign looks so good! Also, Adrien's wish... it's better than anything I could come up with. It garantees that nothing was done in vain since it doesn't require time travel so it's a super satisfying way to end the storyline. I enjoyed these so much! thank you for putting so much time and effort into the videos!
Kagami is amazing! The only thing I hate is that Kagami forgave Marinette way too easily in Ikari Gozen. As well as the episode Perfection and Protection. Kagami deserves better than Marinette! And to this day I still say that's true!
Love the redesign and rewrite as always, Callimara. Aside from WildWard, have you legit thought of writing your own books or some kind of fanfiction? Because you are really good at storytelling.
I love Kagami’s and Ryuko’s redesign! The rewrite for her was really great and I enjoyed how you did the rewrite of the Miraculous, it was such an interesting and amazing way to end things especially with Adrien’s wish! I can’t wait to see how that goes.
12:05 Trust me, you’re an incredible artist. My art style lately has actually been a bit reminiscent of yours because I think of you as an artist leagues above me and especially enjoy how you draw faces. Where you’re pushing forward on line use, I’m actually trying to pull back on it, so seeing your illustrations really helped me see how that minimization could look nice. So don’t listen to that internal critic too much. You’re doing great.
Ooooooo, I LOVE this! It also really shows Adrien's growth into his own person. I will admit I did not see that end coming but it fits very well! Seriously, wtf is THIS not the actual show? Infinity better.
Amazing! TBH, I loved the lighter blue color scheme. I’m my head cannon bunnix has more white and black since fluff is also a white haire, and the miraculous is based off of the March Haire (the rabbit from Alice in wonderland) I would do white much like you did with your design for Nightingale in your story, WILDWARD. The suit would be similar to a mech armor since Alix is obsessed with technology and history. But that’s just my opinion.
No not really the destruction of the miraculous won't kill the Kwami's, Kwami's are immortal they don't die until the concept they represent is gone from existance so Tikki and Plagg especially are immortal as creation and destruction are infinite. But without the miraculous the Kwami's will never be able to interact with humans again.
Video: *ends* Me: MLB, eat your heart out, we funding THIS canon now 😎💅 Seriously though, fireworks went off in my mind when you spoke the final line! So rewarding, this is what entertainment in media is MEANT to be! After hearing the end to your rewrite, I’m hyped for WildWard now! 🤩
I just love, how her O.C went from basic and cute to a more creative and cute😍 And one Rich Boy my O.C named Jackal LeBlanc, beats Kagami in fencing, acts like a gentleman, sees Kagami "I saw her, immediately fell for her~"😍
They did become a couple and broke up 😅, like kagami became so controlling all of the sudden… she changed when with Adrien, like whaaat? Nice drawings too!
I had a discarded Fanfic idea regarding Kagami and her family. Master Fus Guardians and the Tsurugi family have been in a conflict, regarding who protects the miraculous box. For the longest time the Guardians were the protectors, but then the Temple got destroyed and Master Fu fled and wasn't found. Then Kagamis mother finds out he's hiding in Paris and tries to get the Miraculous Box back. It would be more interesting if it wasn't just Master Fu and Hawkmoth fighting over it. Later on Ladybug becomes the Miraculous Guardian for a short time, but then SHE gets into trouble with Kagami, who is ordered by her mother to retrieve the box. Ikari Gozen happens and Kagami gets the Dragon Miraculous. Marinette and Kagami become friends and Mari decides to give Kagami the Miraculous Box. TLDR: Kagami becomes the guardian of the miraculous, because Marinette already has so much stuff.
Amazing like always! What always bothered me was how her relationship with adrien ended... I get it, adrienette endgame but they completely changed kagami for the breakup and gave the audience a reason to hate her. Why was she bothered by adrien's pose/goofiness? They had fun before!! Why was she pushing herself on adrien? Yes she's straightforward but she didn't kissed him forcefully or whatever. It was so weird. But the worst chloe, she became "because I'm mean" nothing else🤦🏼♀️
Okay but Felix’s song and dance number was iconic and I love him for it, that Gabriel tiktok was a crime though Edit: that’s not a school uniform? Edit: Kagami’s got half a pair of pants here and I already love it Edit: that one headshot at the bottom is kinda reminding me of Karai from 2012 tmnt and I kinda love it Edit: It’s the way you NEVER MISS Edit: Stan Kagami for clear skin Edit: anyone else kinda get Todoroki vibes from Kagami, like I feel like they’d get along really well Edit: wha-wh-uh HUH identity reveal, omg I never thought of that, that’s so…good, I love that, I’m living for this version of Adrigami’s relationship Edit: OH MY GOD, that ending Edit: if you redesigned Juleka or Nathaniel I’d cry
I might've said this in a previous video, but I absolutely agree with you that Luka & Marinette & that Adrian & Kagami are better pairings. This is a really good design, & your rewrite is awesome! I hope you make a comic of this eventually, but this is still great! Best of luck on future videos.
I’m mad conflicted not gonna lie, because on one hand destroying all the miraculouses (miraculous? Miraculousi? whatever) it makes sense. But at the same time, those are living creatures, man!
I know we can't expect another Miraculous designs because Callie works on Wildward but I'm interested how she would draw Juleka, Rose, Alix, Milene, Nino and other characters (but mainly these five I've mentioned)
I honestly I imagine Kagami with a more conservative outfit, bc her mom would tell her to not waste her time and stupid stuff like fashion, art, self expression, etc. So that outfit that you gave her I would Imagine it’s something that Marinette made for her by thrifting and creating that Kagami. I love the new Ryuko style, but I think she looked better with that same hair style longer and puffier. I would also change her hair to be white hair to show how opposite they are.
When it comes to hating your own art, I think every artist goes through that at some points! Essentially, your taste is better than your current skill right now. This feeling will probably continue for a little while until your skill catches up, and then you'll start loving your art again. I went through the exact same thing a couple months ago, but now I'm really proud of my recent works! The point is, I think your work is great but I totally understand the struggle haha
You can tell the writers don't care about the Chinese connection to the miraculous when the rabbit is based on a British story when the Moon Rabbit is right there
I think this is the best one you've created!! And now I think Kagami is one of my favorite characters in Miraculous, and I wonder how you'll end this story!! Can't wait to watch the other series you've created, recreating Miraculous!!
@@TheSpectator7 oh well all I have to say is, here’s to the ones that we got, cheers to the wish you were here but you’re not cause the drinks bring back all the memories
As someone, who only watched two random episodes, once I agree with you. Kagami should be the Main character of the series, rather than Marinette. Because she is a 3D dimentional character, and Marinette is even flatter than 2D drawings
your art is looking so much better! i love how the shading turned out! a tip i have is to duplicate the line art later and blur it then clip it too the flat colors. afterwards color it to any color you want! it looks amazing!
This is just a personal theory, but I think the design decision to make the dragon red was to contrast Long against Soosoo. In Chinese mythology the blue dragon's opposite is the vermilion bird, which is often drawn looking like a red peacock.
Calli: dramatically telling the climax of the story, the final confrontation. Me: had to rewind and listen to it again because I was too busy trying to figure out which studio ghibli film the background music was from. It was My Neighbor Totoro. And then it went into Porco Rosso, though I recognized that one immediately. I can now sleep.
I adore this design. It's wonderful. Personally I'm still fond of the adrienette endgame because I know it can be handled much better then the show's done. But I do like the direction you went for handing the Adrigami ship. It's cute, however in a way it also feels too easy because of course they'd understand each other but that also doesn't need to equate to romantic partners. But none the less I enjoyed what you created. I love Kagami's hair, despite the short, in your redesign IT LOOKS SO FLUFFYYYY
GIRL YOUR LINES ARE BEAUTIFUL , YOU DONT NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING, THE MOVING VOLUME OF YOUR LINES ADDS TO THE PICTURE AND CHARACTER! YOUR PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU DRAW… ARE.
Hit it out of the park once again, both with the redesign and the story! As much as I craved seeing Kagami in a boy's school uniform for the school she used to attend in Japan (Revolutionary Girl Utena really influenced that thought process), the fact that you did reference Japanese street fashion and she is still wearing pants still makes me happy. Also, as much as I don't mind the idea of Adrien loving somebody outside of high society (it's a romance trope I love immensely, hence why Aladdin is my favorite Disney movie to date), I have to agree that nobody in the world could possibly understand Adrien on such a deep level as Kagami does. And Marinette going out of her way to get them back together is such a beautiful thing for her personal character arc! (If anybody's wondering, the reason I was so into the idea of Kagami wearing the boy's uniform for her old school is three fold. Firstly, Kagami would look great in anything resembling a suit. Secondly, I feel like it would be a silent act of rebellion against the notion of either leaving Japan or being homeschooled, because perhaps she went to an actual school before all of this and it was the only place she ever felt like she could be free of her mother. Thirdly, I imagine Kagami either couldn't give any less of a shit about gender roles or she simply finds skirts impractical no matter what her actual gender identity is, and wearing a uniform clearly made for someone not of her assigned gender at birth could be a cool way to make that aspect of her character kinda mysterious to both the audience and her peers.)
Hay I’m a young artist unsatisfied with my art too and hearing you talking about your experience really helped me and the redesign looks grate thank you for being a big inspiration for me ❤
I love the drawing you did for this! The line art is really awesome! Keep experimenting! For me, it's one of the best ways to really improve. Trying new brushes, and techniques really yields some neat results, even if they aren't permeant. Also, I'm really liking this redesign!
NOOOOOOO!! Plagg doesn't deserve destruction for what he'd done for Adrien!! That's just cruel... But wait- ! Master Fu said in canon that everything what you wished for must be balanced by something else. Like when Max's robot wanted became a human, someone would've to lost theirs humanity. So! When Adrien wished for destruction of all Miraculous something else must've been created to replace them. Perhaps Aegis... Like, isn't it poetic?
I wish the way Kagami and Adrien had broken up in the show would have simply been them realizing they don’t actually have feelings for each other and that they were drawn to each other bc this is the first time they each found someone they could relate to, but still staying good friends
Although I love kagamis new style you gave her I feel like the whole point of her “uniform” was to show that she was still heavily appealing to her mothers precise perception of her. Just like how Adrian dresses neat because of his father and his influence in fashion. Maybe kagamis new style could be something that slowly shifts throughout the story and is her little way of rebeling against her mother in secret (since she’s blind and can’t see)
I love that idea!
I like to hope that Adrien still has an appreciation for fashion due to growing up with it, similar to Chloe (which is why I'm disappointed with their hero designs).
I actually really liked the uniform because it was a nice homage to anime(mahou shoujo anime in particular), because ladybug is a total ripoff from "Tokyo mew mew" and all of the precure series put together. But since Callie's version is not a total ripoff, I guess your version of incorporating the uniform and style change is really cool!
Yeah, her mom controls her with everything she does.. kagami doesn't do a single thing or have a single hobby her mom doesn't want.
If anything id expect kagami to have more traditional and more conservative clothing styles since her mother probably picks out and dresses her with the clothes she (her mother) likes. kagami has a very controlling parent like adrian, thats why they bonded so much
in a better written plot kagami can start out wearing the uniform, and then transition into/sneak out and wear an outfit that is actually fitting to her
*Yes, she's blue now*
I haven't actually watched the video yet, but I was immediately interested in the blue design because a) It would contrast with Marinette's red colour scheme and b) Draws a closer connection to water and weather elements than red; I highly doubt any dragon with weather powers were depicted as red
edit: OH Also also, that would make it a literal representation of her and Marinette's red oni, blue oni dynamic
And Dragon Bug being red would fit with her being a dragon of fortune related with the sun (ladybug's influence) and it would fit even more as a fusion
In Chinese mythology the opposite of the dragon is the phoenix, and I think the peacock has strong symbology to suggest that there's a nod there to the two being opposites. I think that they should have rolled with the four guardian beasts more rather than less.
Honestly, I love the design but, since Kagami's mom is so controlling, maybe that the "street fashion" wouldn't do it... don't get me wrong, it's perfect for Kagami, but I really see her having this style when she will be free from her mother influence and the pression she put on herself to be perfect.
Maybe it's just me tho, it's still is incredible ^^ And I love the super-hero design too !
I'd like to think she wears it when going out, possibly by hiding it in her bag and changing into it at school
Well, her mom IS blind, so maybe fashion is her only way of rebellion.
@@inviisible .. that's not wrong x)
(if anyone is genuinely still watching this show spoilers ahead) it is being implied in the show rn that both adrien and kagami are sentimonsters which is how they are both so “perfect”. their parents are in full control of both of their actions and their parents want them to date which makes their whole relationship in hindsight feel so forced to me 😭 the writing of this show has me banging my head against the wall constantly why did they do this

I am so glad I stopped watching during season 1
I'll forever be frustrated that "Miracle Queen" occured because Marinette was jealous of Adrien spending time with Kagami--and she never took reaponsibility for it!
Marinette really just didn't care about Kagami. And I seriously wish Kagami would've cut her friendship with Marinette out. It's not healthy to be friends with her. And Kagami deserves better than Marinette as a friend.
@@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaDooplivian I'll be honest: I'm not entirely sure Kagami should be friends with Adrien either. His father is emotionally abusive and Kagami called him in "Risk" about how he didn't have the nerve to stand up to his dad. All his friends misunderstood the situation.
@@OpticalSorcerer Agree to disagree.
@@OpticalSorcerer honestly kagami is new to making friends which is why she has trouble understanding other ppls emotions. Plus marinette is starting to care for her as a friend more. I dont think that means she should cut off everyone. Thats just my opinion tho.
Marinette never takes responsibility for anything it feels like. The show wants her to be quirky and relatable while also being the pinnacle of goodness, but instead of finding a good balance of these two, like in Spiderman, they keep doing both independently from each other, leading to this really contradictory protagonist (someone kids should really not be looking up to😬)
17:21 it was a draw, and yes, Marinette gave Adrien the win, but the point was that Kagami was taught not to accept defeat and that led to her akumatization, but at the end of the episode Adrien talks to her about it and his kindness was one of the things that makes Kagami start to like him. Trying to show that you can lose and that it might not be so bad seems like a good concept to me.
That sounds about right. Plus, let’s be honest, Adrien did the exact same thing in Copycat because of his petty jealous, so I actually see that situation as karma for Adrien’s own actions.
I think there was a comment awhile back from an avid fencer who watches MLB. They said that it was Adrien's win in that duel with Kagami. I don't remember the exact details since I don't understand the sport all that well, but it sounded legit.
@@teragram38crows49 that's good because that's the meaning of the episode and the first interaction between Adrien and Kagami, Kagami doesn't need to be good at absolutely everything, it's okay to lose sometime, the simple fact that she fought so hard is already very good.
The show did Kagami dirty, honestly. I still don't know why most fans still villanise her, as if she was super mean to Marinette or smth, just because she's interested in the boy that Mari likes. Marinette and Kagami are a great(but missed) opportunity to show that romantic rivalry doesn't necessarily ruin a close friendship between two people. And would be a good lesson too.
another day, another slay
Callimara honestly has more artistic talent in her toenails that I have running through my blood vessels
Same tbh
Talent only goes so far, hard work and dedication is something that pushes their works to callimaras level and beyond. It's all about the work you put in, don't worry about the results now, focus on your future, and enjoy what you do.
@@dantebrown5189 So true, my friend ❤
SAME
I love how as a miraculous holder, Ryuko has part of Phoenix Wright's Japanese first name (Ryuichi) and as a civilian, Kagami's last name is Edgeworth's Japanese last name (Mitsurugi) but with one less syllable.
That's amazing!^^
Honestly, Kagami's name is the weebiest shit I've ever scene. It calls back to little baby me with a character named Yuki Hoshi (Snow Star, for those wondering). Kagami means "mirror" and Tsurugi means "sword". For a girl descended from Samurai to be named "Mirror Sword"... Uh-huh... They couldn't even put any effort in to making her name sound less like a pre-teen's "original character"? Come on, now. lmfao
@@RenAsterion Pre-teen's OC? Nah. Yandere Simulator character? Absolutely. I mean, at least Kagami is an actual Japanese name, but could have done better on the last name than to make that kind of a pun. Although the pun name is yet another tie Kagami has to ace attorney
I as a japanese, if I remake this Kagami's name "Kyouko Tatsuhara"
Kanji is 「辰原 鏡子」
"辰" is another mean of Dragon, 鏡 is another speaking of Kagami.
aren't kagami and tsurugi both first names?
You actually swapped Kagami's and Ryuko's concept appearance, Kagami's outfit is symmetrical and more restrained, while Ryuko's costume is asymmetrical and "imperfect", Kagami has always been required to be perfect, but her costume as Ryuko is her thing and to suit her vision and not someone else's vision of what she should be, and this is what the asymmetry of her suit represents, it's not "perfect" but it's still beautiful!
I liked Kagami from the beginning, I already knew that the relationship between her and Adrien would not end well so there was no point in feeling any negative emotions, the fact that I liked Adrinete didn't mean that I had to hate Kagami and Luka because they were "geting in the way" of Adrien and Marinete(as if they don't already have problems because of themselfs 😗), and I didn't mind Kagami's colder attitude because it wouldn't be funny if all the characters were the same, and in the moments where she had a hard time socializing she was relatable to me, everyone has been through a situation where you wanted or had to interact with another person but it was difficult.
What you said was literally my thoughts. ✋🏾😂💯
Wow, unless the show blatantly rips your story off (which Astruc is too narcissistic to do) this is guaranteed to be the best way to end the story. So much better than the actual plot, I got chills when I realized where it was going!
Do you really think the Miraculous should be done away with?
kagami is my favourite miraculous character, excited to see what you do with her character (she’s way too unused in the plot :( )
1) your kagami and ryoko's rewrite is the one thing i really needed today.
2) and OMG i got chills after hearing cat noir's wish
No
I don’t usually leave comments so I know this is very late and it probably won’t make its way to Cali, but either way, I just had to say: Oh. My. God.
As someone who unfortunately had an obsession with Miraculous at one point, I have to say that your version of the story compelled me more in a few hours than the real show did in YEARS of lazy storytelling and baiting the fandom. The story was cohesive, dynamic, and ultimately way more satisfying that Miraculous ever was. I’m in awe of how talented and creative you are, both in an artistic and story-telling perspective. I’m so glad that you’re taking the time to complete the story despite being busy with Wildward (which also has me hooked) because now I’m invested and I might die if I don’t get a resolution. So, even though I’m sure you already have an idea of how you’d like the story to end, here are some suggestions:
1. Adrigami and Lukanette as endgame 10000%. The amount of chemistry the characters had, especially in your rewrite, had me giggling and kicking my feet hearing you describe their interactions. Their personalities compliment each other perfectly and getting to see them develop as characters would be super satisfying (plus I live for the fluff)
2. Platonic Adrinette/Ladynoir. Marinette and Adrien most likely became friends first since she had a “crush” on him and I think it would be super cute to see them become best friends in their civilian forms. For example, Adrien would learn about Marinette’s talent in designing and offer to model some of her designs for their own private fashion shoot like he did in the episode Reflekdoll. As for Ladybug and Cat Noir, I’d like to think they’d vent to each other about their civilian problems while on patrol (vaguely of course, as to not risk their identities) and either give advice or just hear each other out. I also think it would be cute if Cat Noir still called Ladybug “Bugaboo” as a nickname because he knew that it annoyed her, but she eventually grew fond of it. Maybe after the show’s revolution, Adrien would call Marinette “Bugaboo” as a little homage to their bond.
3. Potential Gabriel redemption arc. Whether or not you’re thinking of having Gabriel go to jail or not face any consequences with the law, it would be nice to see him learning how to HEALTHILY deal with his grief over Emilie instead of being a hermit in his own home. I think it would be interesting to see Gabriel and Adrien have another family dinner, but Adrien is way more open with his true personality as the dinner continues and it makes Gabriel realize how little he actually knows his son. Natalie would definitely be a huge part of his redemption, helping him reconnect with Adrien after the events of the show. Maybe even subtly tease a potential romance between Gabriel and Natalie, but don’t confirm anything to keep us on our toes and let us draw our own conclusions.
4. Redesign Nino!! While I don’t think he was a big enough character to have any actual effect on the plot (unlike in the show where he messed it up for everybody), he’s still Adrien’s best friend and Alya’s boyfriend, so I think he’s worthy of a redesign. I’d love to see him keep a mostly canon personality (maybe less annoying) while this Adrien is much more socially awkward so Nino can help him get up to speed with teen culture and learn how to socialize with kids their age. And maybe Adrien could help Nino do homework or study with him, seeing as I always headcannoned Nino as someone who struggles in school. I mean, the man has headphones on him at all times, his ass is NOT listening.
If I come up with anything else, I’ll edit the comment, but that’s all I got as of right now. Keep up the amazing work, Cali!!
Hey, Calimara? About the whole imposter syndrome/perfectionism/disappointment thing, I wanted you to know that while you may compare yourself to artists that are "better than you", My sister and I, as very amateur artists, compare ourselves to YOU! We always talk about how jealous we are of your insane skills and creativity. Take heart, even if you begin to feel like a lesser artist again, because no matter what, there will always be those who look up to you. :)
OMG!!! yess! finally someone understands that it feels like Marinette is only after Adrien for his outer personality (being Adrien) and how terrible that is! if she really wanted to know the true him she wouldn’t be fawning over the perfection his father has molded him into. Kagami would make a way better candidate for Adrien because she understands his struggle, not just going after him because she’s an obsessive stalker like Marinette. I’m genuinely so happy in this version he didn’t end up with Marinette. In the show, it just would seem like a terrible relationship, and that’s proved by that one episode where Adrien finds out Marinette is Ladybug. It seemed like he only went after her because she is Ladybug, not for Marinette. And vice-versa for Marinette! Thank you soo much Calimara! Been here since day one and i’m so happy with the ending! 💕
I completely agree with you man by the do you have any good Adrian and kagami fanfics.
“He’s just a friend”
-Mari in Cali’s rewrite
Thank you so so much for painting this show in a better light. I honestly wish you were apart of the writing team.
1:28 NAHH WHY DOES THIS REMIND ME OF THE MORBIUS MOVIE WHERE THE MAN BROKE INTO DANCE WITH NO REASON 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This redesign is absolutely gorgeous. I love your rewrite, it's hilarious that the fandom writes a better plot and characters than professional writers. Can't wait for the epilogue. Also, could you maybe do a redesign for the kwamis?
Yes 😊
It's not hard to have better plot and characters when main writer of the actual show is egotistical manchild.
I love your redesigns and I am obsessed with this kagami. It didnt really sit right with me having kagami's design based off of a Chinese dragon when she is Japanese, and japanese mythology has dragons as well. I was happy that you paid attention to detail on kagami's samurai ancestry. Keep on doing what your doing, you have a talent.♡♡♡
The interesting part of Japanese dragons is that they are based of Chinese ones. Japan has even adapted some particular dragons from China. Azure dragon being one of them.
So in the end, Adrian basically pulled a True Reset? With the destruction of the Miraculous, it will be like the Universe resetting after Father Pucci gets killed by Emporio. Things go on as normal, just without the Miraculous' influence this time. Marinette will still figure out that she doesn't really like Adrian, and will help Kagami get with him (Not that she needs to, as you said.). Chloe would get all the development she got as Queen Bee, just without the Miraculous' influence. Everything.
I like that. I can live with that, if that's what happens.
Really hope Nino gets a redesign. Dude might be the blandest character in Miraculous (which is rather impressive) but he was a member of the original team from Heroes Day. I feel like that earns him some love/respect
*watches this till the end*
Plagg: "Adrien... I don't feel so good!"
The street fashion look would work only when Kagami is no longer emotionally under the control of her mother. It wouldn't work for her now since her look literally contradicts her AS A PERSON.
I haven't watched season 5, but I was surprised when I heard that Kagami was being canon shipped with Felix.
I actually liked the idea of kagami preferring street fashion. I think it would be intreating if maybe her mother doesn't approve of her clothing choices, and that could creat intresting interactions between them.
12:22 SAME. I know how you feel, but your art is amazing.
Hey Calli, I wanted to let you know that it's normal to dislike old art. You're improving. That's part of growth. All you need to be satisfied with is your art of today. You're incredible and we love you.
The danger of making a character who is the love rival in a story where the couple are already in love because of "fate" is that you might get tired of knowing that they will end up together anyway, even if there is conflict you know that the main couple is kind of forced to stay together while the rivals can fall in love with the protagonists for other reasons. Obviously this is not mandatory, but it's kind of sad to see a story where the main couple just like each other and continue to like even in impossible situations where the rival would actually be the best matches for them, like, I literally saw an anime of a protagonist who broke up with his girlfriend, got a new love and ended up leaving her to go back to dating his first love even though he stayed away from her and theoretically forgotten her, and yet he just sees her again and come back to like her at the same instant. That was tough, the new girlfriend didn't deserve it 😔
😂
Kagami was instantly my favorite character the second I met her, I'm so happy to see her done right 🤩 she's beautiful and even more of a badass than in the actual show. And it might take a while but I think I wanna try and make an animatic for Kagami and Adrien's chat cause it was just so sweet 🥰 You did an amazing job as always, Callimara!
“FINALE” the Nino video in the up next section: 👁️👄👁️
kagami just seems like the characters 1 writer who had good ideas but was shut down so much, but finally one character was excepted so they put everything they had into making her a good character
Still think Mad Dog should've been called Hellhound imo, but THIS WAS AMAZING KAGAMI LOOKS SO REGAL AND WHAT A CLIFFHANGER IM SUPER EXCITED FOR WILDWARD TOO THAT MIGHTVE BEEN TOO MUCH SHOUTING
As much as I love her civilian design and find it beautiful and perfectly matching her personality, her mother brought her up to be a perfect soldier, so it makes sense that the outfit she wears and her hair is dull and lacking personality. I think it would be good if maybe she doesn't start dressing like this until later in the show. But that's just my opinion.
Yeah I like the outfit but it seems maybe a bit too "forward"?
I absolutely LOVE Kagami!! She's best girl, and your redesign of her is simply GORGEOUS, she looks PERFECT
(also, thanks for changing her hair, she looks better with it than with her og helmet hair)
I love this story, and I wish Nino had a role in this story too…I would like to see his redesign tho
If you are feeling dissatisfied with your past drawings then that might be an indication that you are growing as an artist! Btw I think your art work is to die for I love your style ❤
i think they gave her a red and black suit JUST MAINLY because she had a red, black and white colour pallet in her civilian form and was like, 'oH hEy, ThAt SuItS hEr OuTfIt PeRfEcTlY'
Omg I can’t wait for the next episode! I got chills at hearing Chat Noir’s wish. This might be an actual way to close up the series while dealing with the little ones who want to have actual miraculous powers. Also- if you want other redesign but not story resign characters, I’d recommend Harry Potter. The uniforms can be a bit plain and I’d like to see what creative liberties you’d take. Maybe a black Hermione? Who knows!
Lovely video, as always, and be sure to drink some water and eat some chocolate
Omg yes I'd love a Harry Potter and Hogwarts Legacy redesign, I just know callimara would kill it! 🙏❤️
🎉
The end of the story literally gave me chills. It makes me wish I could see everything onscreen, but holy shit that was so good
The dragon design looks soo cool!!! I love how the "black" part is irredescent, and the way you drew the scales is eye candy.
I agree with other commenters that the point of the uniform was to show how under her mother's control she was, but considering that she's the more assertive how of her and Adrien, it does make sense that she would have a more personalized outfit that him. And your civilian redesign looks so good!
Also, Adrien's wish... it's better than anything I could come up with. It garantees that nothing was done in vain since it doesn't require time travel so it's a super satisfying way to end the storyline.
I enjoyed these so much! thank you for putting so much time and effort into the videos!
Kagami is amazing! The only thing I hate is that Kagami forgave Marinette way too easily in Ikari Gozen. As well as the episode Perfection and Protection. Kagami deserves better than Marinette! And to this day I still say that's true!
Love the redesign and rewrite as always, Callimara. Aside from WildWard, have you legit thought of writing your own books or some kind of fanfiction? Because you are really good at storytelling.
I love Kagami’s and Ryuko’s redesign! The rewrite for her was really great and I enjoyed how you did the rewrite of the Miraculous, it was such an interesting and amazing way to end things especially with Adrien’s wish! I can’t wait to see how that goes.
12:05 Trust me, you’re an incredible artist. My art style lately has actually been a bit reminiscent of yours because I think of you as an artist leagues above me and especially enjoy how you draw faces. Where you’re pushing forward on line use, I’m actually trying to pull back on it, so seeing your illustrations really helped me see how that minimization could look nice. So don’t listen to that internal critic too much. You’re doing great.
Ooooooo, I LOVE this! It also really shows Adrien's growth into his own person. I will admit I did not see that end coming but it fits very well! Seriously, wtf is THIS not the actual show? Infinity better.
Amazing! TBH, I loved the lighter blue color scheme. I’m my head cannon bunnix has more white and black since fluff is also a white haire, and the miraculous is based off of the March Haire (the rabbit from Alice in wonderland) I would do white much like you did with your design for Nightingale in your story, WILDWARD. The suit would be similar to a mech armor since Alix is obsessed with technology and history. But that’s just my opinion.
34:59 whaaaaat did he just kill the kwamis?! 😭
No not really the destruction of the miraculous won't kill the Kwami's, Kwami's are immortal they don't die until the concept they represent is gone from existance so Tikki and Plagg especially are immortal as creation and destruction are infinite.
But without the miraculous the Kwami's will never be able to interact with humans again.
@@ishashifar thank you for the explanation!!
Calli finally gave our girl Kagami Justice.
We follow you because you're a beautifull artist and a charming speaker. YEET that insecurity out the window.
Video: *ends*
Me: MLB, eat your heart out, we funding THIS canon now 😎💅
Seriously though, fireworks went off in my mind when you spoke the final line! So rewarding, this is what entertainment in media is MEANT to be! After hearing the end to your rewrite, I’m hyped for WildWard now! 🤩
I just love, how her O.C went from basic and cute to a more creative and cute😍
And one Rich Boy my O.C named Jackal LeBlanc, beats Kagami in fencing, acts like a gentleman, sees Kagami "I saw her, immediately fell for her~"😍
They did become a couple and broke up 😅, like kagami became so controlling all of the sudden… she changed when with Adrien, like whaaat? Nice drawings too!
Yeah that honestly felt like a desperate move to break them up in s4
😂
Just arrived and couldn't be happier, good luck with Wildward
Hi Callimara, at 35:00 you are just burnt out. You put so much effort into the clothing. It’s normal to feel tiered. You are not alone.
Calli that’s how every artist do ! They improve
Rebecca parham once said “ they all started with bad drawings “
All imma say is, gurl go do ur own show, like, this is getting to good, I'm begging rn!
God the things I’d do to watch MLB with your rewrites and redesigns! The styling of the clothing as well as the art style is so damn appealing:))
I had a discarded Fanfic idea regarding Kagami and her family.
Master Fus Guardians and the Tsurugi family have been in a conflict, regarding who protects the miraculous box. For the longest time the Guardians were the protectors, but then the Temple got destroyed and Master Fu fled and wasn't found. Then Kagamis mother finds out he's hiding in Paris and tries to get the Miraculous Box back.
It would be more interesting if it wasn't just Master Fu and Hawkmoth fighting over it.
Later on Ladybug becomes the Miraculous Guardian for a short time, but then SHE gets into trouble with Kagami, who is ordered by her mother to retrieve the box. Ikari Gozen happens and Kagami gets the Dragon Miraculous. Marinette and Kagami become friends and Mari decides to give Kagami the Miraculous Box.
TLDR: Kagami becomes the guardian of the miraculous, because Marinette already has so much stuff.
I was thinking the same sis
Amazing like always! What always bothered me was how her relationship with adrien ended... I get it, adrienette endgame but they completely changed kagami for the breakup and gave the audience a reason to hate her. Why was she bothered by adrien's pose/goofiness? They had fun before!! Why was she pushing herself on adrien? Yes she's straightforward but she didn't kissed him forcefully or whatever. It was so weird. But the worst chloe, she became "because I'm mean" nothing else🤦🏼♀️
“ don’t bother i am the captain know “
Know look whos badass ! Women !😮😀
Okay but Felix’s song and dance number was iconic and I love him for it, that Gabriel tiktok was a crime though
Edit: that’s not a school uniform?
Edit: Kagami’s got half a pair of pants here and I already love it
Edit: that one headshot at the bottom is kinda reminding me of Karai from 2012 tmnt and I kinda love it
Edit: It’s the way you NEVER MISS
Edit: Stan Kagami for clear skin
Edit: anyone else kinda get Todoroki vibes from Kagami, like I feel like they’d get along really well
Edit: wha-wh-uh HUH identity reveal, omg I never thought of that, that’s so…good, I love that, I’m living for this version of Adrigami’s relationship
Edit: OH MY GOD, that ending
Edit: if you redesigned Juleka or Nathaniel I’d cry
😂No
I might've said this in a previous video, but I absolutely agree with you that Luka & Marinette & that Adrian & Kagami are better pairings. This is a really good design, & your rewrite is awesome! I hope you make a comic of this eventually, but this is still great! Best of luck on future videos.
11:15 yes, kagami's mom is called tomoe, but not only that, her akumatized name is ikari gozen, she is a double reference to tomoe gozen
I’m mad conflicted not gonna lie, because on one hand destroying all the miraculouses (miraculous? Miraculousi? whatever) it makes sense. But at the same time, those are living creatures, man!
I know we can't expect another Miraculous designs because Callie works on Wildward but I'm interested how she would draw Juleka, Rose, Alix, Milene, Nino and other characters (but mainly these five I've mentioned)
But now I know she wouldn't because of creators supporting Israel. (It isn't blame or anything)
Your storytelling skills are absolutely spellbinding! No matter what you do, it keeps me completely hooked!
Kagami reminds me of Mikasa from aot especially in ur redesign
I honestly I imagine Kagami with a more conservative outfit, bc her mom would tell her to not waste her time and stupid stuff like fashion, art, self expression, etc. So that outfit that you gave her I would Imagine it’s something that Marinette made for her by thrifting and creating that Kagami. I love the new Ryuko style, but I think she looked better with that same hair style longer and puffier. I would also change her hair to be white hair to show how opposite they are.
Hey callimara, your art is awesome and you are good enough! Don't let the dark side of your mind tell you otherwise!
Kagami would have looked SO cool with vampire bangs though especially with a short layered cut like that just putting that out there.
One thing is that I wish kagamis hair was black. They made her hair eerily similar to marinettes. Either change marinettes hair, or kagamis hair.
When it comes to hating your own art, I think every artist goes through that at some points! Essentially, your taste is better than your current skill right now. This feeling will probably continue for a little while until your skill catches up, and then you'll start loving your art again. I went through the exact same thing a couple months ago, but now I'm really proud of my recent works! The point is, I think your work is great but I totally understand the struggle haha
You can tell the writers don't care about the Chinese connection to the miraculous when the rabbit is based on a British story when the Moon Rabbit is right there
I think this is the best one you've created!! And now I think Kagami is one of my favorite characters in Miraculous, and I wonder how you'll end this story!! Can't wait to watch the other series you've created, recreating Miraculous!!
Adrien: I wish...
Me: COME ON SAY IT
Adrien: the destruction of all the miraculouses
Me: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Yeeeeeah no more miraculous or Kwami- Uh Oh!
@@TheSpectator7 oh well all I have to say is, here’s to the ones that we got, cheers to the wish you were here but you’re not cause the drinks bring back all the memories
This is probably my most favorite design you've made so far!
As someone, who only watched two random episodes, once
I agree with you. Kagami should be the Main character of the series, rather than Marinette. Because she is a 3D dimentional character, and Marinette is even flatter than 2D drawings
I never thought a redesign would make me love Kagami even more 💖💖💖💖
19:57 took the words out of my mouth
Callimara: I took inspiration from another Ryuoko.
Me: *seeing Ryuoko from Kill La Kill* DON’T LOSE YOUR WAY!!!!
omg i love you'r new intro-
i havent been here in a while but im glad to be back
your art is looking so much better! i love how the shading turned out! a tip i have is to duplicate the line art later and blur it then clip it too the flat colors. afterwards color it to any color you want! it looks amazing!
This is just a personal theory, but I think the design decision to make the dragon red was to contrast Long against Soosoo. In Chinese mythology the blue dragon's opposite is the vermilion bird, which is often drawn looking like a red peacock.
Calli: dramatically telling the climax of the story, the final confrontation.
Me: had to rewind and listen to it again because I was too busy trying to figure out which studio ghibli film the background music was from.
It was My Neighbor Totoro. And then it went into Porco Rosso, though I recognized that one immediately. I can now sleep.
I was waiting on a "No more mutants parallel" at the end there,,, I think it fits this story quite well, no complaints
I adore this design. It's wonderful. Personally I'm still fond of the adrienette endgame because I know it can be handled much better then the show's done. But I do like the direction you went for handing the Adrigami ship. It's cute, however in a way it also feels too easy because of course they'd understand each other but that also doesn't need to equate to romantic partners. But none the less I enjoyed what you created. I love Kagami's hair, despite the short, in your redesign IT LOOKS SO FLUFFYYYY
God that ending is so good!!! Loved this Miraculous series and cant wait for Wildward!!!
GIRL YOUR LINES ARE BEAUTIFUL , YOU DONT NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING, THE MOVING VOLUME OF YOUR LINES ADDS TO THE PICTURE AND CHARACTER! YOUR PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU DRAW… ARE.
Hit it out of the park once again, both with the redesign and the story! As much as I craved seeing Kagami in a boy's school uniform for the school she used to attend in Japan (Revolutionary Girl Utena really influenced that thought process), the fact that you did reference Japanese street fashion and she is still wearing pants still makes me happy. Also, as much as I don't mind the idea of Adrien loving somebody outside of high society (it's a romance trope I love immensely, hence why Aladdin is my favorite Disney movie to date), I have to agree that nobody in the world could possibly understand Adrien on such a deep level as Kagami does. And Marinette going out of her way to get them back together is such a beautiful thing for her personal character arc!
(If anybody's wondering, the reason I was so into the idea of Kagami wearing the boy's uniform for her old school is three fold. Firstly, Kagami would look great in anything resembling a suit. Secondly, I feel like it would be a silent act of rebellion against the notion of either leaving Japan or being homeschooled, because perhaps she went to an actual school before all of this and it was the only place she ever felt like she could be free of her mother. Thirdly, I imagine Kagami either couldn't give any less of a shit about gender roles or she simply finds skirts impractical no matter what her actual gender identity is, and wearing a uniform clearly made for someone not of her assigned gender at birth could be a cool way to make that aspect of her character kinda mysterious to both the audience and her peers.)
Hay I’m a young artist unsatisfied with my art too and hearing you talking about your experience really helped me and the redesign looks grate thank you for being a big inspiration for me ❤
I’m also prone to shipping main ships!
Especially in fandoms that don’t.
Shipping wars are scary
Goddamn the ending
I’m interested in seeing how you tie this all together in the next redesign
Yay! I was waiting so much for this video! Let's see how it will turn out but I know you'll make something amazing as usual!
Superb video. And your ending idea is a surprise but logical (reasonable). Thanks for offering this version. 👏💓
I love the drawing you did for this! The line art is really awesome!
Keep experimenting! For me, it's one of the best ways to really improve. Trying new brushes, and techniques really yields some neat results, even if they aren't permeant. Also, I'm really liking this redesign!
NOOOOOOO!! Plagg doesn't deserve destruction for what he'd done for Adrien!! That's just cruel... But wait- ! Master Fu said in canon that everything what you wished for must be balanced by something else. Like when Max's robot wanted became a human, someone would've to lost theirs humanity. So! When Adrien wished for destruction of all Miraculous something else must've been created to replace them. Perhaps Aegis... Like, isn't it poetic?
I wish the way Kagami and Adrien had broken up in the show would have simply been them realizing they don’t actually have feelings for each other and that they were drawn to each other bc this is the first time they each found someone they could relate to, but still staying good friends
