#ryuudamon

I went through my favorites on DevArt and found those old pictures. Aka: The one Digimon project that I started so often and never finished. lol (Artwork was done as a commission back then, but sadly the person seems to be MIA for years now.)

Basically, the backstory to this is as follows: I did really love all the X-Digimon stuff back in the day, and Digimon Chronicle. But back in the day Digimon Chronicle just got those few pages with the Digimon Pendulum X and that was it. So I wanted to write a fanseries based on that.

I started that one a couple of times. I think three times. The last one was Digimon Clash, which these commissions were for.

We got some digimon merch in stock!!

A companion piece to my previous X-Evolution drawing. Hell, if you make the goggleboy and mention friends, might as well draw the rest of the team.

Ryuudamon is a canon Digimon, but not an X-Evolution canon native, so he's basically a new character. He is a young Digimon who is very eager to prove himself to the world as a hero. When he heard all about Dorumon's role in saving the Digital World from destruction, he decided to declare Dorumon as his ETERNAL RIVAL, long before he even meets him. And when they do meet, Dorumon is impressed by Ryuudamon's enthusiasm and determination but doesn't think of him as anything but a good friend. It frustrates him, but he volunteers to seek a human partner because saving the Digital World is heroic, isn't it?

First and foremost, he's a samurai dragon. A FUZZY samurai dragon. He's got the styled helmet, some armor, nice colors, and overall a very good design.

Notice the red triangle again? He's also a prototype. Dorumon and Ryudamon were way hip together.

He's also a natural carrier of the X-Antibody.

He follows the bushido code. That means if he's dishonored, he'll commit bloody seppuku. Hardcore stuff. (Don't tell Zuko.)

Did I mention he's a samurai dragon?

His main attack is shooting swords out of his mouth. Entire swords. Out of his mouth. Right into your face.

He can partially levitate.

SAMURAI. DRAGON.

Can become DexDorugamon. Ryudamon's in on the zombie party.

His name comes from the Promoted Rook piece in Shogi (or Dragon King)

.

Ginryumon's name comes from the Silver General chess piece. Hisyarumon's name is from the Rook (Hisha, or Flying Chariot). Owryumon again pulls from the Promoted Rook.

In other words, they are chess piece samurai dragons.

Their attacks centralize around bashing opponents with their armor, shooting swords out of their mouth, or cutting them up

.

Did I mention Hisyarumon can turn into a giant sword?

Yeah.

Hisyarumon's orbs are a large source of power. He can take on an entire swarm of Digimon single-handedly by speed alone.

Just LOOK AT HISYARUMON. He's a fudging Eastern dragon. A samurai Eastern dragon.

And Owryumon becomes the weapon of Alphamon for them to go into Owryuuken mode.

I repeat: He becomes a Royal Knight's weapon.

Owryumon has blades for wings. Blades. For wings.

Watch out: He'll cut you.

Lastly:

Chess piece
