Ninjamon BT11-050 by koki from BT-11 Booster Dimensional Phase

This card of Ninjamon references the Item Shop (and Secret Shop downstairs) from Digimon World, featuring many of the Digimon that run them.

Uh oh...I figured out how to make models in Blender. So of course the first thing I do is use it to create impossible items. By “impossible”, I mean these are from Digimon World (PS1). There are no models of these. These will be making an appearance in the next set, which is a set of item cards!

Firstly, these images are huge so click to zoom.

Polaris Sigil —  北極星の印 Whamon evolution item. Had to be pretty interpretive about what this even is. It’s clearly a gold-colored star with 4 points and a grey colored ring around it. Is the ring round? pointy? beveled? flat-topped? Who the F knows. Is the star metal or supposed to glow? Are these gold and silver or yellow light and a white cloth loop??? WHO KNOWS! So I decided to make them literal gold and silver shining brilliantly. Then I remembered real objects are very imperfect...so it’s pretty scratched up.

Offering Sake — お供え酒 Seadramon evolution item. Had to model a freakin Japanese liquor jug. 酒 “Sake” (liquor) char printed on there idea from this Bandai card. This is something that’s very hard to get a reference for outside of Digimon, meaning I had to interpret a lot about its material properties and shape that you can’t easily see in that tiny card image. Probably hard to find because it’s historical. For the cork stopper, I tried my hand at subsurface scattering and it got that nice reddish hue I wanted. Another great thing this did: I now I know how to make candle wax! Same technique.
