Anyway, for this entry I wanted to draw ear piercings inspired by their Bit-Beasts, but adapted to each of them.

I'm back from the dead! :'D (But only for a while.)

I realized just how HORRIBLY DIFFICULT it is to draw such tiny details.

This was basically pixel art at some point x'D

But I still hope you like it! 💕

P.S.: I know I skipped several entries. I was just lazy haha. But if I find the inspiration and time later, I'll probably go back and do them.

I didn't plan on coloring it; in fact, I didn't even plan on cleaning up the lines to begin with. Although it's just a base color and gradient effect (parallel gradation of Ibispaint).

Since there is a limit of one (1) video per post, I think I'll publish this on BSky. I don't know if anyone is interested tho v:

I've been on this for two days and I'm honestly surprised at myself 🫠🫠

I was so excited I forgot to take screenshots 🥲🥲

Now that I made it to the end of May I feel like I should actually introduce myself and respond to everyone's lovely comments!

My name is Danie! I'm not new to Tumblr (I've been here since 2015! Which is a crazy thought.) but I'm not that practiced in posting my art and being social, I tend to be a little shy and just lurk. They keep changing how to talk to people here so I'm trying to figure out how to do it.

Offline I'm actually a professional artist that usually works with traditional medium but last year I had to go on hiatus due to medical issues that zapped me of all my creative energy. After recovery I was encouraged to get back into making art by doing what made me start art in the first place, so I've been revisting the shows I loved as a child and drawing for them! This time digitally rather than in the edges of my homework.

Tyson: Crest of Loyalty, Partner: Pteromon line - Galemon - GrandGalemon - Zephgamon

Kai: Crest of Persevarence, Partner: Vorvomon line - Lavorvomon - Lavogaritamon - Volcanicdramon

Max: Crest of Adaptability, Partner: Sangomon line - Shellmon - MarinBullmon - Ariemon

Rei: Crest of Balance, Partner: Liollmon line - Liamon - LoaderLeomon - BanchoLeomon

Hilary: Crest of Empathy, Partner: Elizamon line - Dimetromon - Laniamon

Chief/Kenny: Crest of Intuition, Partner: Terriermon (Assistant) - Gargomon

Daichi: Crest of Abundance, Partner: Coronamon line - Firamon

I wanted to give them different crests than the ones in the Digimon anime, hence the random set of names that clearly lack consistency, forgive me for that.

For Tyson I picke Loyalty, because I think that's not just his strongest trait but also his fatal flaw. He believes in his friend too much, to the point that he ties his existence to how useful he can be to others and is in turn not loyal to his own self worth. Getting past the obstacle of learning to moderate how he is loyal to his beliefs and to the people he cares about is what would help him evolve.

For Kai I really did want to pick Courage, but I went with Perseverance. The intention of the word here is to show that even if he does lose his way or make wrong decisions, he never wavers from the resolve he made. He will stick through his decision and see it to the end, and persevere the consequences till he can be the best version of himself. I picked Vorvomon line for him because honestly while Hououmon is apt counterpart for Suzaku, but I cannot imagine Kai next to Piyomon (he'd slit its throat fr ) 🤣

Rei and Max are two crests which are pretty self explanatory. For Rei I was going to pick Baihumon as the end evolution but when I put BanchoLeomon behind him, I just thought that they looked way too cool together. But yes Baihumon is pretty much Byakko in Digimon form, someday I will rectify this mistake 😌

Hilary gets empathy because just like with Tyson, I think this is something that she needs to learn to excercise with restraint. While being able to understand others and connecting with them emotionally is a great trait to have, we often see her blurt out statements which sound right for the situation only to her, and do more damage than provide comfort. So yes, she wants to help others but she can be overbearing with her kindness, so learning to understand and accept how the other person is feeling is what she needs to grow stronger. Also Empathy and Loyalty go hand in hand and I totally did not mean anything by that.

Chief gets intuition because while he's smart and Knowledge/Wisdom would've fit him perfectly, he's also shown to want to get practical and put himself forward in the middle of the action, which you can only get better at by relying on your intuition.
