snake miraculous Marinette (Patreon)

guess who we'll be seeing in this chapter!! but probably not in the way you think, lmao

in any case, this is Marinette's snake miraculous transformation, Ophidia - aka, the clade name for all modern day reptiles. I wanted her to look cute but sort of spooky, so I gave her a "snakeskin" cloak to give her a wraith-ish vibe while also changing her silhouette to be a bit sporadic. I originally wanted to give her like, six braids to give her a medusa look, but then realized i have to DRAW this design like a hundred times and decided to pop the brakes and give myself something simpler to work with... you can still see vestiges in it in Marinette's braid-clip, which looks like a triangular snake head.
