Here’s a step by step process video of a commission I did for a Count of Monte Cristo Miraculous Ladybug AU.
Similar to the original story, in this AU, Adrien was framed for a crime he didn’t commit and sent to the horrible island prison of Chateau D’If. Separated from his loved ones, lonely, and mercilessly tortured for years, he eventually manages to escape. With a massive fortune that he finds thanks to a friend/mentor he met in prison, he returns home under a pseudonym to exact revenge on those who wronged him. His beloved Marinette was told that he was dead, and was forced by circumstance to marry another man.
This picture depicts the moment where Marinette thinks she recognizes the mysterious Count. It looks like Adrien; but his eyes are weary, lifeless, and cold. Is this man even capable of loving anyone? Plus, she received a letter informing them of Adrien’s death years ago. There’s no way this could be him… Right?
