So... confession time. One of my guilt little pleasures is a French animated kids show called Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir where a couple of teen super heroes go around stopping villains in the streets of Paris. Part of the lore of the show is that the jewelry that enables the super powers has been used by other people for thousands of years, including Joan D'Arc. There was a contest* on Instagram for "drawings, videos, or whatever you'd like". I can't draw for [expletive], and I lack mad video skillz, so I got the idea to paint up a mini as Joan D'Arc with the Ladybug colors. I had the perfect mini for it...that I painted up a while ago and sent to my friend several states away. So after rooting through my unpainted minis, I decided to go with Aina. She has a nice, flat, round shield except for the shield boss, which actually works in favor of the design. Although she couldn't really pass as Joan D'Arc, she could be another historical Ladybug hero. Anyway, enough rambling. Here is Aina, Valkyrie and Ladybug of the North - *I decided not to enter the contest as, like the show, the demographic was a bit young for me. BUT, it was inspiration none the less.
