#lamnimon

Revisiting Lamnim-... Wait...

Redesigning Reflectmon was actually super fun, so I figured I'd give a go at Lamnimon too! The problem is my main issue with their old design was... I made them a shark? Because Discovery Channel was doing Shark Week when I was a teenager conceptualizing this character, and that's it. No other reason.

Now. On it's own, there is nothing wrong with the shark design. I like it a lot! It's cute, and sharks are awesome! The problem is this was supposed to be a pre-evolution to Ranamon. "Rana"... Means "Frog"...

Oops.

So obviously this digimon should have been a tadpole the whole time. I'm actually shocked they didn't use Otamamon for the Vitalbracelet line... However, the problem is the name "Lamnimon" comes directly from the scientific name for mackerel sharks. So unlike Reflectmon, who can keep their name because it still technically fits (Though I think nowadays I would have chosen the new name), Lamnimon doesn't really fit anymore.

Right now I'm calling this "Pollimon" based on an alternate spelling of "Pollywog" which is another name for a tadpole, and also because it's cute for the pirate theme I went with in the old DMFR fan-web-comic. However if I can find something closer to Lamnimon that fits, I'd maybe be swayed...

Anyway other than being a tadpole now, not much changed! Most of the original design was working. The other major changes are

Replaced swim cap with a hair tie (it looked weird with out the shark fin and was always a bit awkward to draw)

Softer, floppier, fin ears to better frame the face.

More... Fishy? Hands and feet.

More wavy hair style.

Some extra markings to streamline the design and add visual interest.

Digimonth No.6, Water. Who says you can’t put your past behind you? When Lamnimon decided to be sweet on Flamemon, he felt an odd mix of joy and mortal terror. . .mostly terror.

haha

so it wasn’t really that long until the next digital art

well

technically it wasn’t that long until the next digital art

lol i can’t draw flitmon

or geopy

Lam: ?! *turns red**is flustered**also loves it*

Reflect: *squealing under their breath* it’s finally happening! Aren’t they cute?

Fla: Ecch! *mimes sticking finger down throat*

like

let’s say that flecky and lam are standing next to eachother

lam is about half of flecky’s height

now, i’m 5′2″, so if i were in flecky’s position, it’d be like having a 2′7″ person next to me, and if i were in lam’s position, that’d be like having a 10′4″ person next to me.

and the tallest person in the history of ever was just under 9′.

i know which position i’d rather be in.(HINT HINT FLECKY. I’D RATHER HAVE A TODDLER NEXT TO ME THAN A FREAKING GIANT.)

haha lol for whatever reason i’m just imagining flit gingerly tugging at my hoodie with their pudgy little hand and looking up at me with their doe eyes all cutesy and smiling at me in the most adorable way possible WHY ARE TODDLERS AND FLIT SO DARN CUTE

but yeah.

Lover of cute things and maybe is a little bit sensitive, Lamnimon is a tiny water siren of a digimon that lives in harmony with the tides. If crossed, expect the sharp sting of their Poison Pearls and don't be surprised when his with a barrage of Deadly Bubbles.
