Description
You asked, I heard. (finished this about two hours ago, but needed to eat food.)Tips Continued
1) I personally don't understand how the animators can mess up his design when it's so easy, but they do. I made him a bit more proportionally correct and balanced. *Gah, he's so cute and fluffy, I want to keep him.*
2) YOU'RE ALL WELCOME. I had to hunt for so many references for these symbols...frustrating as heck. As it notes on the page, please keep in mind that these symbols have specific areas that they appear on, and most have reversals. *EDIT* Okay! I get it! I drew the chest mark on the wrong side, I get it! Stop sending me notes about it, I had looked at the manwha for a reference since there aren't to many regular ones of high-quality. They had the chest mark flipped, and I thought that's just how it went.*
3) Eye construction will be part of your downfall. Use OVALS when drawing his eye-shape, then CUT THE BOTTOMS OFF. This gives you the semi-ovular shape that your desire. his irises too are oval shaped, along with the highlights. Use DARK OUTLINES when you define his PUPIL, LASH-LINE, and CORNERS. Use SOFT SHADING in his IRISES.
4) Flamon, unlike Agunimon, is extremely thin. In this respect, his shape embodies that of Lobomon, however he is even more lithe than the Warrior of Light. His body is basically all RECTANGULAR. Thin TUBES and a slight CURVE at the neck define his shoulders and arms. He has what I refer to as a 'shallow chin' which just means that it's small compared to others. The top of his hair has THREE MAJOR POINTS, then almost falls into a PONYTAIL-LIKE SHAPE, where the bottom flares out again. Think of how hair is tied back and goes inward.
5) Diagram on how his tail is shaped. People, PLEASE, FOLLOW THE SHAPE OF THE TAIL. It doesn't stick out in as many places as you'd think. It's modeled after fire, and FIRE FLOWS IN ONE GENERAL DIRECTION.
6) Arm construction. THIN TO JUST AFTER THE ELBOW. Then the glove comes on and adds WIDTH. However, the arm DOES NOT become thin again, and he has LARGER HANDS. The KNUCKLES are almost always emphasized. It's kinda like a puppy, they have large paws that they eventually grow into.
All right, tell me what you guys think, and as always, enjoy.
Flamon (c) Digimon / Toei

Too lazy to go through all the messages right now, so going to say it here: THANK YOU FOR THE FAVES,

I loved this! And this pose makes him look so adorable! I am amazed of why Flamon appears so little in the series. Wonderful!

Than you.
Yeah, I could have gone for a little more Flamon, but hey we can't have everything we want.

I'm not selling yet. I wouldn't sell it until I got good at making them. They're crude at the moment.

It might not be for a couple of months, and that's if my mother allows me to sell them to random strangers I only know through the mutal love of art.

Oh. Well, it may actually be a couple of years, since I can't get a paypal until I'm old enough. Dammit.

Heck, sending cash through the mail to our PO box would work for us. I don't like paypal anyhow. It does not like me either.

I'll try selling them around my hometown first, see how well plushies sell. *No one else really makes them in my town, so I might have a monopoly going on here XDDD*

I really liked Flamemon, pity there was only one episode with him in it! Goodness, the way you draw him makes him look so adorable, mainly the eyes

Hero216 In reply to 1w1w [2013-02-13 23:37:39 +0000 UTC]
Thank you.
I could have gone for more Flamon as well, it would have put so much more character development into the story.

Flamon is my personal favorite and a major reason I got into Digimon in the first place.
This tutorial is amazing as are all of your Warrior tutorials. They're simple yet effective. I know I'll be integrating your tips into my future drawings.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
Flamon is so precious, and is the reason that I really started looking into the Frontier saga. I used to think he was a goat.

Feedback helps us learn and grow. I give it whenever I can!
I hear that a lot myself. I always thought cat personally, but I think it's the horns that make people think goat.

Hero216 In reply to DreamhazeMaster [2013-02-13 23:34:24 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, that's what did it for me. I can see how you'd see cat though, the eyes, tail and profile/nose.

I'm surrounded by cats. Big, fluffy cats.

Nice tutorial!
I draw Flamemon by using an image of him as a reference and I draw him as close to the picture as I can to get the details right.

Hero216 In reply to StellarFairy [2013-02-12 20:25:43 +0000 UTC]
I used one picture from google, and a bunch of references from the manwha. There are so many cases where his tattoos are messed up.

*nods*
Image references are usually a good thing, but be aware of the details. They can sometimes be tricky to master.
