Description I was so excited for this event! I figured I had plenty of time to do it since it didn't have a set due date-Got back from a trip out of town and discovered it was OVER.

Needless to say I growled for awhile, got over it, and decided to finish and submit this anyway :3
Thankfully no shards were at stake, otherwise my growls would have evolved into a fullblown rampage lol.

Anyway!

I decided to focus my hand on yet another background heavy piece. Gotta practice my cubes and perspective *grumble grumble* Its really quite fun to draw 'Digimon style' backdrops tho since its alot of desaturated colors with little floaty spots everywhere XD
It just feels happy!
I also had a ton of fun creating the contrast between the battle-zones and safe space, mostly because it was neat to draw everything out all pretty like-then wreck it. XD

Anyway,
I wanted to create another image that showcases the diversity of character between Magi and Claire. I think the polarity of these two is what makes them so very fun and interesting for me to work with. Claire always gets lost in the little things, while Magi is more inclined to focus the big picture. As for Tyks (the hat) he is a gentle balance of the two. You get a very fine sense of that from this piece.

Also,
It's more of an Easter-egg, but if anyone recognizes the Digimon Claire is cradling in her arms, and knows what it eventually Digivolves into-You get a cookie.
I love giving obvious hints to subtle things just to get my watchers thinking. Cause heaven knows I over think everything.


Enjoy!

I really like the theme of the picture and you did an awesome job on the bg. x3
I know the easter egg is already solved, but it's because YokimiBotamon can evolve to Tailmon and in the first seasons Wizardmon died and Tailmon cried because of him. :3

rats someone said Yukimibotamon before me but an easter egg? so do you mean that the yukimibotamon is gonna have relevance later? This'll be interesting for my character to see once they're accepting OC's again

Not yet, currently their doing an activity check to see if the current members are still involved/interested.
The group leaders went inactive for a few months, so now they're trying to get the ball rolling again before taking new applicants ^-^
Hope that clears some things up for u

Oooo I don't really know.
To my knowledge the groups are always even at the end of an enrollment, so I wouldn't fret to much and just go with the one u like best.

axelwing In reply to ShadowOfSolace [2012-07-13 02:03:36 +0000 UTC]

Awesome!
I'll probably go with Sol, since they seem to be more fun!
(Also, I hope my OC isn't too Mary Sue-ish. Once I'm done tweeking, you wouldn't mind if I sent it to you to check, would you?)

Yes, YukimiBotamon eventually settles into Gatomons evolutionary line. ^^ I figured it was fitting given Magi's history and obvious inspiration~

ANYWHO! Again, another wonderful piece, me dear! I've never said, but... Magimon is effing adorable. Be not surprised if one day you see a mysterious black figure escaping out your window with your Digimon in hand, Claire!!! I also have a curious fascination with Claire's hair in this piece. How can I get mine to be so fluffy and silky?

Your background is such a major nostalgia moment for me, you did an excellent job rendering a Digimon-esque style for it. How you orchestrated the picture really helps showcase what you said in your description: Claire is all huddled over that one little Digimon, while Magi is more focused on trying to protect all of those other squishy little Digimon. ^^

BTW, that bunny on the block in the corner looks very displeased with the war zone.

BTW BTW, I can't think of who Claire is holding.

I getz no cookie.

D'awwwwwwwwww Magi's never been kidnapped before XD he tends to be the kidnapper not the kidnappee lol
Regardless I enjoy the image of a masked vigilante running off with Claires Digimon pfffft X3

Thank u for the compliment about the background! Its really fun doing Digimon style BG no joke! I especially love that you noticed the bunny, LOL it was fun to smudge him up XD

Annnnnnd-

Tho you may not get a cookie, u can haz a consolation carrot lol XD
