Digimon Channel: Pics and Translation Thread

[RDNexus]

I favor the good old designs, if nothing else.
Some designs over the years, I also deem good.
Others are very much "creative" in appearance.

Reference book update!

This time we get...
Ketomon
Hopmon
HeavyLeomon

 

[Muur]

Gee, I wonder if they'll be in the Metal Empire V-Pet

I didn't expect Ketomon and Hopmon but I'm happy we finally get them after so many years! rescued from the Wonderswan/anime cameo after 20 years!

Now we need Chichimon, Arcadiamon In-Training, and TorikaraBallmon and then I think we have every baby in there

 

[The Golux]

I am legitimately surprised that they remembered Ketomon and Hopmon.

 

[YongYoKyo]

Despite how "underdeveloped" it looks, Hopmon is a full Baby Dragon-type instead of Lesser-type.

Obviously, HeavyLeomon is a Vaccine Machine-type.

You can thank the Pendulum Z2 V-Pets. Even Kiimon and Yaamon got added to the DRB with new artworks due to the Digimon X2 V-Pets.

 

[Tortoiseshel]

On the one hand, I'm stoked that they finally, finally remembered Ketomon and Hopmon exist. On the other hand, that art looks like I drew it.

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

Wha? Monodramon's babies actually got to appear at finally? But their artworks are err uh weak? And it's very so blue!

Weird Impmon's Babies got awesome arts but I felt like they are just drawn lazily. Now I'm really happy we got both babies of Impmon and Monodramon to receive their artworks! Meaning we will have to see Ketomon and Hopmon to get a new card soon!

Apparently he was stated to be Baby Dragon in an old art tamers book or something

HLmon already had Bvaccine Machine from Rearise's profile. I'm assuming the DRB is just a copy paste of what was in RA

anyway I agree with the other people that these are really bad arts that seem thrown together. like, the toei art of hopmon is better and toei are known for making digimon look bad.

It mentions three attacks, I don't know if rearise had all three.

It has Sonic Excavator and Barrage Sweeper as attacks in Rearise, but not Resting Burner. its profile in RA mentions RB, though.

 

[Kamotz]

Is anyone else disappointed in the image quality of HeavyLeomon?

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

? Not really. Just wait for the Digimon Twitter to release much larger pic of him.

 

[Muur]

Is anyone else disappointed in the image quality of HeavyLeomon?

I am. It's even more potato quality than DRB images usually are.

They just traced over and shaded the Tamers lineart.

 

[Tortoiseshel]

They just traced over and shaded the Tamers lineart.

I thought so too at first, but looking at them side-by-side it's clear they're different. Same basic poses, yes, but not traced.

I think maybe someone let their kid draw them, seeing as they look just like my early attempts at emulating the Bandai style in middle school :B

 

[Muur]

I think they probably realised they didn't have Bandai art for them so told an intern to draw them by the end of the day or something.

 

[DigiKing Tamer]

Sounds like Bandai dropped the ball on the latest DRB update art wise, but it's always exciting to see them regardless!

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

Glad HeavyLeomon's profile finally showed up but I'm still waiting for Jupitermon/Junomon's mode profiles you know? C'mon.

Reference book update!

This time we get...
Junkmon
Machmon
Rebellimon

 

[Muur]

Junkmon as a Puppet-Type feels weird, especially with the other two as Cyborg, but I guess looking at him he does look a toy
