Magical Girl AU with Shinso and Shoto ● Requested by @thelazyhermits
I based the antagonist’s group on the astrological zodiac signs. Also please note that I’m not well-versed in astrology so I based my understandings on research alone (；´∀｀)
These two were really challenging to design especially Bakugo. For him, I wanted something that was close to his hero costume but with a sci-fi magical twist. Earlier iterations had a more Power Rangers/Megaman feel to them but his outfits clashed way too heavily with the world. While I liked many of the beta sketches, these fit into Haze’s universe the best.
Midoriya’s beta designs were a lot more magical boy-esque with a lot more whites, ribbons, and poofy pants. But it looks a bit too… not Midoriya? We all know Midoriya is a feral child so I didn’t want the only descriptor for his outfit being “cute”. It started off as a cyber-angel kind of design to emphasize a sense of freedom as he’s going to be one springy boy!
I drew a potential weapon for Midoriya but not Bakugo because if I drew all the weapons he could think of, we’d be here forever
