“First Meeting”

More of my Swords and Bones ship (yes this is the ship name I gave to Jesmon x Craniamon. It just works so well 😩👌) but this time when they are kids! Honestly for my own stuff, I do imagine that Jes and Crania met a long time ago when they were kids back during Jes’ and Gankoo’s travel days with the Sistermons. While it would be a short time they got to known each other the two would have hit off really well, even getting Kotemon a new long term goal of becoming a Royal Knight just like his new and first friend (Also maybe to impress this cool mon a little bit if they met again in the future 👀) The two did make a promise that they would see each other again and if destiny allows it, comrades as new Royal Knights. Though it isn’t something that went exactly like that as Crania ended up as Knight earlier( he worked hard to achieve all of his evolution allowing him to evolve more earlier to his later evos than most in his evolution line) once he hit his Mega Evolution.

Another thing I wanted to share is that I LOVE the idea of back when Jesmon was an Hackmon he would collect old and disowned Royal Knight Merchandise or old books/magazines as he wasn’t able to get any new ones easily, and usually would ask Gankoo or the Sistermons if he could keep them (if not he would leave it alone but sad about it. If given the okay he would gleefully grab it and loudly proclaim he will take really good care of it). But despite that he absolutely treasured the items and always made to sure to keep them in shape, even if it means DIYing it to repair any damage done to it over time with tapes or even Bandaids. Jesmon still does this to this day of making sure all of his items are in peak form and even carefully putting them away or putting them in extra protection.

Corrupted Royal Knights AU

So this is basically all of the character designs I did for this AU. Now I’m specifically saying my designs since there was more than one person working on this AU that started in Twitter back in October 2020. While I would say I was the more active in doing art or even writing information for this AU I am not the sole owner of it nor the one who started it. This was a collaborative effort and I want to make sure that fact is never lost. While there is definitely going to be some redesigns;updates; or even rewriting on parts of the background for the characters, also in general the story. I am still happy on how these all turned out (only Crania got real update to his design atm but it was just because I wasn’t satisfied with his lower half look)

One last thing I want to share is that the final reference sheet shown here is that of the Reborn Knights. As in the Epilogue of the AU all of the Knights who were defeated end up being reborn, with Yggdrasil’s virus having some lasting effects on their data.
