Thetismon

Sketch:


I actually planned on this one for last week, but ended up scrapping the sketch when I saw how much detail was lost in my first printed reference, so I had to go back, crop it and try again. In either case, I've been meaning to do something for Ghost Game since it premiered but nothing's really jumped out at me until now. We're finally getting to see the Prefect/Ultimate forms of the new partner Digimon and I thought Thetismon's design was so cool I just had to draw it. The "hat" was always a cute feature from the Jellymon stage, but the "skirt" and "bloomers" are an even cuter touch. The positive and negative signs on the decals are a clever feature and the mechanical gauntlets remind me of Bunnie Rabbot's roboticized arm.

As for the sketch, the bottom of the boots and the gantlets had to be traced in because I wasn't happy with my attempt as well as the ends of the two largest tentacles due to cropping. As you can see, I also wasn't able to add in quite all of the details on the tentacles that make up the back of the "skirt" that I wanted because I ran out of time, but I'll see about adding it in when it comes time for proper color. I'm actually fairly stratified with how it looks now because it helps differentiate the "skirt" from the two small jellyfish in back that make up what would be a bow/ribbons.
