Vox but mermaid melody
several ref like things.
might do some screenshot type illustrations to make use of them. doreimani has a good video on this series which prompted this whole thing. I recommend it for both people who have and havenât watched mermaid melody. Linked below.
So reblogging this again cause I literally designed this a while ago for nonsense fic reasons and wanted to show you (sorry for the shitty picture quality)
I'm giggling and kicking my feet cause yay I love Magical Girl Vox
Oh worm thereâs two of them! Iâm guessing the fin thing is what is used to transform? Well generally Iâm curious about your thought process behind designing them like this (obviously thereâs aquatic motifs but also more than that). Actually, Iâm curious about the premise for this Magical Girl AU. In other words, can you just tell me everything (within spoiler free limits of course)?
Lol the fin thing is actually the ear pieces for the visor! The power object is an app on his phone. I tried to add some techy things into the design with the visor though I kinda wish I'd added more. Definitely took a lot of inspiration from Mermaid Melody and other magical girl media! The reason there is two is because the left one is the "normal" costume and the second one is the "fancy power upgrade" costume that is so common in magical girl genre (except in poor Vox's case, it gets super skimpy lol). I wanted the back piece to look like a fish tail and just the whole thing to be very classically magical girl. The pearl details on the second one were a NIGHTMARE. I made these a while ago so I may redesign them as I work on the AU lol
The premise for the AU is honestly very goofy lol the entire premise is that Vox (well, human Vincent) accidentally gets made into a magical girl and to make matters worse somehow no one comprehends that he is NOT a teenage girl running around fighting monsters (except the mysterious villain???). It's basically meant to be a goof on how people somehow never recognize the magical girls despite them looking exactly the same but with the trope taken to extremes. The entire concept is silly and smutty and riddled with tropes.
