Tempest (redesign) and Miguel concept. I don’t love it, but… I don’t hate it. Going to revisit it at any rate, the goal is to repaint some of their original comic scenes

Maybe the reason why I feel more attached to Tempest x Miguel was the fact they’re genuinely sweet towards each other despite a few hiccups like her illness :((
Ikr?! Like, I feel comics Miguel with Tempest truly brought out the real care he could have for someone. Not that he didn't care before, but we can notice the real deal with tempest.
Like, he even allows himself to be a bit more vulnerable with her by saying he's worried that her gratitude is the real reason she sticks around and AHHH, jsksj. Just love em so muc :'D.
(Here's the panel of her illness. Looked up what that illness was and holy shit. Poor Tempest :( )
(P. D. THE SAME POSE FROM THE MOVIE JSKSJS.)

Spoilers for Spider-Man 2099 comic run
Considering that the Spiderverse trilogy acts as a meta commentary on Spider-Man comics, I find it interesting in how this commentary applies to Miguel in both his comics and the films.
(Note: Everything is speculation).
At the end of Into the Spiderverse, we see Miguel in his Spiderman 2099 suit that’s based on the original 90’s run of his series. From that the audience can conclude that this particular Miguel is from the original 90’s run of Spiderman 2099. Also important to note that this 90’s run was cancelled, causing the series to end on a cliffhanger with many of Miguel’s interpersonal relationships being unresolved and him ending up alone. With Miguel in the post-credit scene of “Into” jumping into another dimension to form the Spider Society, the film is providing an in universe explanation on why the Spiderman 2099 90’s run ended on a cliffhanger, which is that Miguel essentially opted out of the narrative being written for him. Instead of dealing with the messiness of his relationships from his civilian life, Miguel prioritizes his duties as Spider-Man by going dimension hopping and starting the Spider Society to stop multiversal threats.
Connecting to Across the Spiderverse, we see Miguel reminiscing on how he went to an alternate dimension and took on the identity of another version of himself that has a family (ie. his daughter Gabriella). This could be referencing the 2014-2015 comic run of Spiderman 2099 where Miguel has a family (ie. his son Gabriel). The flashback not only shows more depth for Miguel’s character, but also alludes to his lack of a stable family life from the 90’s comics and him trying to rectify that in this alternate dimension (ie. Miguel fixing his relationship with his brother Gabriel by having a child named after him). This could extend to Miguel resolving his romantic relationships, that’s always been a point of contention, by potentially ending up with Tempest Monroe (from the 2015 run), Dana D’Angelo (his Gwen Stacy from the 90’s run), or Xina Kwan (his MJ from the 90’s run).
Despite Miguel’s insistence on “canon,” the fact that he exists is antithetical to this belief since his story should have ended due to the 90’s series’ cancellation. This could also explain why this Miguel dons a completely new physique and suit, along with having sketch lines in his design as he’s essentially writing a new narrative for himself.
I have not read the 2014-2015 volumes of the 2099 series, but from what I heard, these volumes completely deviated from the original 90’s run, with the majority of series being set in 2015 with Miguel having a happy ending with Tempest and their son by living on a remote island after his reality has been destroyed (an inverse on how ASTV Miguel inadvertently destroyed the alternate dimension). From a writing standpoint, it’s interesting to see a futuristic character adapt to modern times, but from a character standpoint (where the 90’s and 2014-2015 issues are in tandem with one another), Miguel seems like he’s going to the past to escape his past that takes place in the future. With ATSV Miguel choosing to live in an alternate dimension where he’s happy and has a stable family life, it parallels the way the 2015 run kinda ignores the 90’s run and just lets Miguel be happy. While it’s a nice sentiment, it prevents ATSV Miguel from fixing the interpersonal issues that plagued him in his home dimension and thus truly achieving a balance between responsibility and love that all Spiderpeople learn.
Beyond the Spiderverse will likely end with Miguel joining Miles’s side or the two finding a healthy balance point regarding canon events. However, I figure that besides Miles (and Gwen!), out of anyone who should oppose the idea of canon events, it would be Miguel as his canon story that is likely based on his 90’s run and has already been set in stone due the comics’ real-life cancellation. This in turn causes his character to end up alone and his narrative to end on an unfulfilling note (kinda mirroring Peter B’s starting point in Into the Spiderverse). By lacking a resolution, combined with the guilt of destroying an entire universe for the sake of achieving such, ATSV Miguel is left jaded and gives into the fatalism of the Spider-Man narrative by living a life based on sacrifice. But just like how Miles inspired Peter B and Gwen to no longer be constrained by the narrative of isolation that entails from being Spiderman, maybe Miguel can learn from Miles that he can move beyond the constraints of his cancelled run and in live his own universe where he can write his own happy ending.

Tempest Monroe by Devmayla Pramanik
oh my GOD, FINALLY I’ve been hoping to see Tempest in Pramanik’s style!! Crossing my fingers for him to make a portrait for Tempest’s wasp form as well!
Tempest is my number one 😤💜
(Side note, not sure why Pramanik made her hair more purple in color but I’m not complaining too much lol)

I think everyone needs to look at the Spider-Man 2099 entry for "Love Dodecahedron" on TV Tropes:
to anyone who has not read the comics, this is a fever dream. to anyone who has read the comics, this is a fever dream also.

Shadow The Hedgehog's humansona/Pink hair and pronouns
J Jonah Jameson off the shits/Wine aunt with super powers

HIIIII
im back with more women of silly 2099 comics
some of my faves probably
okay so with jeannie i just really wanted to give her a corset. i feel like thats cute and fits her aesthetic? i am not good with clothes, i hate drawing clothes, but yeah.
then i gave her a grey streak in her hair to kind of resemble Dr. Strange's grey hair streaks? and i made her hair more curly
same with Tempest, i made her hair more curly, and tried to give her a side shave but i still suck at drawing humans so, it doesn't look very good.
as for her outfit.. i was going for something sporty but this looks really bad. i will definitely redo that later on. one thing i didn't add in this picture but definitely will add in other sketches, is that tempest also gets fangs after the whole mutation thing happened.
Oh also she has heterochromia!
that's all i have to say
