Description Here is something I have been working on for a pretty long time. School and work got in the way of me working on this, but I think I started this a little before Thanksgiving. I uploaded a test of an earlier version of this before Thanksgiving just to see what people thought of the style and it was generally well received so I decided to just push on through with it.

So here they are: The Digidestined from Digimon Adventure 01. From left to right, T.K., Kari, Sora, Matt, Izzy, Tai, Joe, and Mimi.. drawn in my own personal style. This would be the group AFTER the events of Adventure 02. They are all a little bit older, maybe in the early 20s with T.K. and Kari in their late teens. I'll just do a quick description of what I did with each character:

Tai - I wanted to keep his look consistent with the rest of the series. He doesn't have his goggles anymore because they're obviously on Davis' head.

Matt - He was tricky. I wanted Matt to be kind of.. modern. Out of everyone in the group, I feel like he would be the most well dressed. The series always made Matt the "cool" one. He was in a band, he grew up to be an astronaut, he got girls and the girl. I also added on a wedding band on his hand because at this point in the series, he and Sora are married.

Sora - I wanted to draw her in a summer dress, but that kind of failed haha. I couldn't stand to draw orange, white, and blue flower prints on her dress so I just made it a solid yellow color. I tweaked her hairstyle just a little bit and added on a charm bracelet with her and Matt's crests attached.

Izzy - He's always thinking, which is why he's in that thinking mode pose. Kept his shirts consistent with what he wears in the series, and tried really hard to make his hair right, though it's probably my least favorite part of this drawing.

Mimi - She always wears her hat right? This was my first time drawing a hat on this angle and now that I look at it.. it looks more like a fedora than a cowgirl hat, but whatever. I figured Mimi is the type who would barely wear anything and would show off her body as much as possible. Kept her in pink because that's obviously her favorite color. Gave her ripped jean shorts because I figure that's the kind of style she'd go for at this point in her life.

Joe - What can I say about Joe? I dressed him as nerdy as possble. Not even because I personally think he looks good, but he has a sweatervest on and is in a gray/blue theme. Kept his signature glasses because they rock, and tried to keep his hair consistent with the series, though you can't see much. I gave him a red tie just so because the shades of blue and gray were getting to bleh.

T.K. - I drew him as a young Matt. It was a little tricky to draw T.K. without any hat, but I think I pulled it off nicely. He's wearing his colors and looks pretty young so it worked out nice.

Kari - I drew her after seeing a girl in my class dressed the same way. Kari is in her late teens which means she is definitely trying to show off her body without showing as much skin as Mimi, so she's wearing a very fitted tank with some yellow short shorts. I gave her long hair because she looked way to similar to Sora. I gave Kari her mother's hairstyle.

Wow, this post is really long. Anyways, enjoy.. Feel free to comment and give me your opinions on this!

This looks good and Tai almost reminds me of Wolverine in terms of looks.

I like this. I actually like this a lot. You did a great interpretation of the first DigiDestined. There are things that would've done differently, though, and they are as follows:
1. The jaw-ear line is too far back from the face. I actually checked, and it is a bit far back. What this does in my mind is make the characters look to be about 30.
2. Sora looks like a beautiful woman, but I have a hard time picturing her in a dress, even at her age in this pic. This is because I always thought of her as a tomboy. As an alternative, I would have drawn her in jeans and a nice shirt. It's casual and sophisticated, but not too feminine.
3. I like the way the hat looks on Mimi, and I could see her wearing those clothes. There is one thing I would like to note, however: in the 2nd series, she loses the hat and adds streaks. It looks good on here nonetheless, but I just thought I would point that out anyway.
My interpretations aside, I still love this.

This is pretty fantastic! Great job with the whole group. Sigh, I always shipped Tai and Sora. Oh well, canon is canon and Sora's charm bracelet is incredibly precious. Great job!

Ya know, your style reminds me of the art style used in the DC cartoon "Young Justice". But it also reminds me of something else. Nice work!

Dose anyone eles think Kari's head is leaning on Tk's shoulder. I mean no matter how many times I look at this thing I seem to think her head is on his shoulder.

Good pic by the way.

It's cool that you put so much work into this, not enough people are that spastic about the fandom anymore!
Not to be a nitpicky buzzkill or anything, but Tai's bicep - arms don't even come close to bending that way.
I maybe wouldn't mention it except that I think that the anatomy is otherwise pretty great. ^^

Wow! Dang, I like your style here; it's also kinda like a western take on the characters (style, I mean). I like Matt, T.K and Kari the most; and it seems that Matt looks a lot like his father -- pose and all, not face. Great job!

Ardhamon [2011-01-14 22:55:32 +0000 UTC]

The realism used here makes me forget that this was from an awesome anime. I think that you did good job trying to use different clothing for the characters. They still seem recognizable and the angle is great too. The ending for season 2 was a great one. I think that you did good trying to capture the emotion used in that episode too. The shading here, especially in the hair, s well done. I like it.

I am very same show, the digidestined seem like they are in comic style, I'm even too, and really show some personality traits of them: D
but I wonder how far you are of them at that age Yamato / Matt is married to Sora.
