Finalvikemon

Finalvikemon!

Continuing my series of final "god" forms for the original digimon from digimon adventure, this time I'm taking on one of my favorites: the Gomamon line and I really hope I did it justice! I've always loved this line for its uniqueness, walruses and seals aren't usually portrayed this darn cool in media, I also love the growing norse influence in the line as we progress through it, what a neat idea. I really like Plesiomon too as a mega but Vikemon just makes too much sense, plus if I'm being honest, slightly edges out plesiomon in terms of design in my opinion. I always like to consider animation and how characters will move, how cool will they be on screen fighting and plesiomon just can't hold a candle to a viking walrus with digital morning stars.

This time around the final design I've settled with should hopefully convey that very natural progression Gomamon had throughout his line. No drastic changes or anything, should be very recognisable as a progression from Vikemon. Once again I've tried to take influences from the rest of the line: Gomamon's colour scheme, Ikakumon/Vikemon's colouring, Zudmon's hammers and shell (now worn as gauntlets) and even Plesiomon in the longboat pauldrons. He has an eye missing, just like Odin, and has plently of Norse influences incorporated into him. Vikings loved ivory and braiding their hair - big strong dudes, trying to be as testosterone-pretty as possible - hopefully aspects of that are coming through. If you scroll down on the artstation page, you can see my process, and see that early versions didn't incorporate as many braids, and even had a more blue and yellow plesiomon colour scheme. Overall he was very difficult to settle on a design for, I struggled figuring out his colours and how to take Vikemon's design and progress it up a power level, hopefully I've been at least partially sucessful.
