UIMY Part 13

After a pretty big break, I finally started working on this part! 🎉
I had some trouble storyboarding it at first, since a few events that happen after this part were still kinda blurry—I had to figure those out before I could move forward. Luckily, I had a lightbulb moment this week, and here’s the final product! ✨

Ngl, the next part isn’t ready yet, so I don’t know how long it’ll take. This one took me about 4 days of straight-up nonstop work (not counting th...

Sketch Dump✨️✨️

Some quick pencil sketches of Adrien, Marinette, Cat Noir, Nino, Chloe, and Natalie.
Some of these were inspired by Ceejurs(as always, love her style🥺❤️).
Since I don't want the drawings in the next part to feel stiff, I am doodling on paper to loosen up and get my skills back into shape.
Consider this me bribing my hand to cooperate again lolol.😅

Edited Version Of Luka

Hello hello !
Sorry for taking so long to give any updates- I was touching grass 😅 and I managed to forget my tablet at home lolol
Since it has been a while since I drew anything, and to avoid the UIMY part 11 incident all over again, I am warming up first. I found that one Chucky looking picture of Luka and tried to "fix" it. I never tried anything like this before but I like how it turned out.
I will be working on UIMY, and I will give updates!
Thank you for your patience ! ...

Interlude Comic

This is a little interlude comic I put together over the past few days! I can’t really work on the next full part at the moment—summer session turned out to be way more intense than I expected lol

The good news is that finals are next week, so I’ll finally get some vacation time and be freeee 🎉

As a little sneak peek: the next part will also take place in Marinette’s room, so this interlude serves as a little break before that!

Luka

Here’s another drawing I did as a warm-up! (Took about an hour)
The lack of texture is because I drew this on the train with no Wi-Fi 😅 And since I use the free version of Ibis Paint, I didn’t have access to the other brushes lol.

Claw Noir (and Shadybug)

I have wanted to draw Claw Noir for ages now, but whenever I tried he looked wonky☹️☹️
I tried again tonight for the sake of warming up and he looks good enough now✨️✨️ This took me 2 hours~ Should I post the drawing process as well?👀

UIMY Part 12

It’s finally done! Hopefully the drawings turned out better than in the previous part lol. I really hope you all like it and that it was worth the wait! I actually enjoyed working on this part a lot—though I definitely struggled with drawing page 4 lolol.

UIMY Part 12

⚠️ Update! ⚠️
Turns out this post was only the first page of Part 12—I didn’t realize I never shared the full thing 😅 Part 13 is already up now, but I still wanted to fix this!

So here it is: Part 12 was (fully) finished and cleaned up, with around 20 pages total. This post only showed the very first page, but the rest is up too. Hope you enjoy it! 💛

Maybe the next part should be part 12 instead of the second half of 11 because it's 20 pages long 😬😬 I don't know, what do you think?
I am getting my style back~✨️

UIMY Part 11

This is only half of Part 11, since I felt like it was too short to count as a full one. I’m really sorry it took so long T^T This semester had me regretting my existence lmao.

If the drawings look a little off, I apologize—I haven’t drawn in so long, I kinda forgot how 😭 I lost my art style and now defaulted back to a very anime-ish one. Also, I injured my right arm while moving out of my dorm for break (nothing serious!), but bending it still feels uncomfortable.

I know I haven’t been very active lately, so to apologize, here’s a lil WIP 💕

Exam season is here, and unfortunately I don’t have as much time as before :( At least the break is getting closer, and then I’ll finally be able to put in more hours on UIMY!

I’ve also been working on other stuff on the side—focusing only on UIMY gets a little tiring sometimes. Expect some non-Miraculous content coming soon 👀💖

I made her hair darker than in the fanfiction and I like it this way. I'll probably keep it like this~

(old version) UIMY Part 1

The next part of UIMY is taking a while, so to make it up to you—as promised—here’s the cringe earlier version of the first part of UIMY! 😅 The first page was done in August 2022 and the last one in July 2023, and it shows—the colors and overall style shift a lot lol. I was THAT inefficient.

As you’ll see, I originally had a more comic-ish approach to the whole thing, which made storyboarding take way longer. The characters were also edgy (especia...

UIMY Part 10

After soo much time it's finally done! I was thinking it wouldn't be ready until spring break not gonna lie lol

I did take time out of my midterm preparation time to finish it early. Let's hope I don't fail lolol

Enjoy!

UIMY Part 10 sneak peek 👀

Here’s the first page of the next part! It’ll probably be around 10 pages—it’s kinda short, but it makes sense. If I have enough free time, I should be able to finish it next week… though I have exams this week, so we’ll see T^T

Doodles of Adrien Agreste

Sorry for the wait, I am drowning under work, and midterms are close T^T. I barely find time to do anything :(

Here are some doodles of Adrien Agreste I made a while ago—if I remember right, they were inspired by some Sasuke drawings from the artist Ceejurs! I really love her style and am always amazed by how she does anatomy, so I like to take inspiration from her sometimes!

(old version) UIMY prologue

LOL, I completely forgot I had an old version of the prologue! This was from way back in June 2021. Honestly, I’m so glad I decided to redo the whole story—it’s crazy to see how much it’s changed. 😭✨

If nothing else, this is proof that progress is real LOL. Anyway, here’s a little throwback for fun. Hope you enjoy the cringe with me! 😂

Old doodle

I found this in my gallery and realized I never posted it! I made this the day that episode came out—drew it while I was still hyped lol. This didn’t even take me an hour, and it was made over two years ago, so that’s why it looks kinda wonky lol.

UIMY old version storyboard

Welp, here it is! This is the previous version of UIMY's storyboard—only Part 1-6, though, since I never got further than that in the drawing phase.

There are some similarities between the old and new versions, but I also dropped certain elements, like the discussion between the professor and Adrien, which was originally meant to further improve Adrien’s first impression of Marinette.

The conversation between Ladybug and Cat Noir stayed the same, but the ending is dif...

UIMY Part 9

After hours of work, it’s finally done! This part took longer than expected because I had to rewrite the script—the dialogue felt a bit off at first. I didn’t change anything in the story, just refined the way it flows. Also, unlike the previous parts, this one wasn’t storyboarded beforehand, which made it extra challenging to put together. But I pushed through, and I hope you enjoy it!😊

Part 7&8 Storyboard

These parts were so much fun to work on~

This was the very first time I’ve ever storyboarded these scenes! (As I mentioned in the previous storyboard post, in every single attempt I’ve made at drawing UIMY, I always gave up at part 6 because it’s annoyingly long, complicated, and uninteresting.)
But I really, really like these parts. Adrien is afraid of being stalked... so he stalks Marinette. LOL, the irony. Then he gets busted because, you know what they say about c...

Part 4 through 6 Storyboard

For those of you who’ve been following me on Instagram for a while, you probably know this isn’t my first attempt at working on Until I Met You. In fact, this is actually my 4th published version of it! (Shoutout to those who remember my dark past on Amino—y’all know what I mean.)

Every time I worked on this story (which, yes, has changed a LOT over the years—I’ve been working on it longer than I care to admit), I ended up giving up at part 6. Personal...

Part 1 through 3 Storyboard

Hey everyone! I’m Shira, a freelance anime-style artist and creator of "Until I Met You", a long-term Miraculous Ladybug fanfiction. 🎨💖

To kick things off, here’s the storyboards for parts 1 through 3 of my fanfiction! As you can see some pages did not make the final version.👀 These storyboards took me around 5 hours (though Ibis Paint says it took 14 hours, but that includes the time I left it open overnight... oops! 😅). I spend a lot of time on storyboard...
