Summer Splash
Added 2022-03-25 06:29:46 +0000 UTCSo first things first: I HAVE FINALLY COMPLETED THIS PROJECT AFTER 6 LONG MONTHS.
Like for real guys, I have worked on this piece since September 23rd and have only JUST finished the editing and everything for it. Between the family struggles, job problems, and just other personal issues, it was hard to stay motivated to keep this project alive. There was a point where I went two to three months without even touching this. But we finally made it. We now have my longest Miraculous comic done. We also finally have the debut of my new Lila base/nude model!
Special thanks to user D3D for this piece. This was actually based off of one of his many stories he's sent me since becoming a patron. I did want to do the solo story he made for Marinette, but I thought it would be too difficult due to lacking the environmental assets to make the story a bit more 1:1. I also apologize if it seems rushed near the end or some parts happen too quickly. Keep in mind that this piece was almost 100 panels long (Clocking in at 95) and I really just wanted to finish it.
Anyways I hope you all like it! I hope I can finally start working on my own personal projects again now. I tell you though, finishing this feels almost surreal. The sky is the limit now in terms of what I'm able to work on now.

I need to get back into it myself! I think the finale of season 4 is what kept me inspired to keep going the most. And I'm glad this raised your spirits a bit! Good luck with your heavy work week!

2022-03-25 16:22:16 +0000 UTCThank you for writing it! Your works have definitely inspired me to work on different longer enf style comics. I've always wanted to make them longer but was always afraid of people losing interest or (in the case of DA) the parts getting taken down and people becoming lost on the story. I'm finally feeling a bit more confident in my skills to keep people's interest though!

2022-03-25 16:18:24 +0000 UTCBetween seeing some of your previous Ladybug comics on Pixiv earlier in the month and this I need to dive back into the show since you said the season finale aired not to long ago. But it'll have to wait a few days because I'm in the middle of a long work week ( Four 13 hours days back to back... yay) But seeing this after I got off work this morning was a huge pick me up!😁👍

2022-03-25 15:44:34 +0000 UTCThis was awesome to read! I like it if you couldn't tell XD About the solo Marinette story don't worry about not being able to recreate everything from my original story; I believe an adaptation doesn't have to be a 1:1 recreation of the source material to be good. So in the future if you want to take a shot at adapting it give it a go! I'm positive you would do it justice. Now back to this miraculous piece ( I still can't believe this is your longest Ladybug comic) this was a fun read! I like your changes and they suit this version of the story quite well. also the appearances by Misty and Lana was another fun surprise. I know you said you felt like the end was rushed but I think it was well paced and every event flowed into each other quite nicely. I know I've said this like 5 times already but thank you. Ladybug was on my radar but I didn't start watching the show until I came across your comics so for you to like a Ladybug fic I wrote enough to adapt it into a comic feels like it's come full circle in a way. Art really does end up inspiring more art.
