"Every great magician needs a hat" -Archmagusmon

From the finale of Digidestiny, Archmagusmon gave Gary Pasternak a copy of Magimon's hat. And from there, I knew I needed to draw Gary not only in the hat, but with an updated outfit to match it. So here he is! Design process: Keeping in line with Gary's Magician outfit he gets mid game, I wanted to keep the idea of a vest + dress shirt/dress pants the same, but changed the vest colors and shape a bit to compliment the hat and new additions of the outfit. I gave him red velvet gloves in place of his grey magnetic gloves he wore in the digital world to further tie into the red accenting of the outfit. I kept his hair fluffy/curly cause it compliments the hat better than the slicked back hair, and it matches how Magimon looks when he wears the hat. Then finally, I added a cape mainly just cause I'm a sucker for capes and thought it'd look good, but also realized that Magimon's whole line pretty much has capes, so it further ties into that.

A lot of the design choices were both for outfit synergy as well as being representative of Gary's growth and his bond with Magimon across the campaign. That's what the hat is a symbol of after all.
