Kingleomon
Kingleomon!
Another in my series of designs to create some god level megas for some of my favourite Digimon. This time with no "final" prefix, I just decided to design this guy with little homage to any of his past forms. Leomon's digivolutions are solid, all of them. Leomon: awsome, Grapleomon: Awsome, Saberleomon: Awesome, Madleomon: Awesome, Heavyleomon: Cool- ish, BanchoLeomon: Dissapointing, also Bancho is very similar to a swearword in one of the most common languages spoken on the planet :P
I just thought that a regal Leomon form with design concepts of royalty, gold and kingliness would be a natural take for a final form. Originally I experimented with gold-blue and gold-purple schemes but ultimately because I wanted the mane to not look weird I went with a lovely royal burgundy-gold scheme, tried to push the red as close into purple as possible whilst still keeping it "red". Think it came out well. He's got a kingly mantle on, made sure the fur parts had black tipped feathers in them, his mane + head horns came out looking a lot like a British crown too, happy surprise.
Since i'm shite at designing swords, I found a concept online which perfectly suited what I needed for him and tweaked it ever so tinily. I can't take credit for the sword design. Unfortunately I've lost the link and believe me I've spent hours and hours, delving through thousands of pins on pinterest to try find the source. Please, guys if anyone finds the original concept can you send me the link so I can give the very talented creator some credit.
Edit: u/Kuraltus on reddit pointed out that it is the Final Fantasy XIV Curtana sword.
