#Panjyamon X

[kingdomblade]

Panjyamon X (or IceLeomon X, if you prefer) is one of the few X-Antibody Digimon that I think is both super cool (badum-tss) and an improvement on the original design, but there's quite literally only two pieces of official art of him so... like Thanos, I had to do it myself! Hopefully Bandai gives him a little more love in the future.

The (huge, as is the norm for my Digimon art )full resolution image and several progress images are available on Patreon!

Another fun fact no one asked for.

Panjyamon is a reference to Panja from Jungle Emperor/Kimba the White Lion.

Talking about references I was thinking if Hououmon X-Antibody is a reference to Tezuka's Phoenix, but it's probably more of an inspiration from Fenghuang myth than from Tezuka's design.

And there is also Plutomon, I think it's more the general shape that gives me that impression, but it's probably not inspired by it directly either.

I was going to use the Reference Book artworks but they are too small to see anything so too bad, using the card game, Survive and New Century arts.

If Team 7 were DigiDestineds (Part 11)

Sometimes Ink digivolves from their Liollmon form into

Liamon then either

LoaderLiomon or

SaberLeomon.

Other times they digivolves from their Liollmon form into

Leomon then

GrappuLeomon/GrapLeomon. Or digivolves from their Liollmon form into either

MadLeomon or

ArmedMadLeomon then from 1 of those 2 into

ExPanjyamon/ExIceLeomon.

Happy Friday Folks! For whatever reason I like Luka enough to design out his character more...and give him a partial custom partner line to boot. I picture him being Canadian or Upper Midwest For those who can't/don't wanna read the scribbles. Motifs: 'Bears', Ice, Magic Line: YukimiBotamon -> Hiyarimon -> Ursamon -> RimeUrsamon Panjyamon X -> Hexeblaumon The higher the line goes the fluffier/bulkier Luka's jacket gets

Trying my hand at making full lines for other armor evolutions

Lighdramon is classified as a beast, so I'm not actually sure it's even supposed to look so reptilian. That might just be V-mon shining through a little too well. At any rate, Qinglongmon has a very similar mask and even has the lightning horn, so it's a pretty natural connection. Tyilinmon is a lightning-powered dragon/mammal with a horn, so while it's not the ideal visual match, it's a lot more acceptable than what I just did to Hawkmon.

Armadimon/Sepikmon get Makuramon and KingEtemon because monkey. There aren't exactly that many options for a racial caricature, after all. I guess Gokuwmon would also work in Makuramon's place. But KingEtemon's colors actually play off Armadimon so I do kind of like that.

Patamon/Stegomon get Triceramon and Spinomon. Very simple reasoning in that it's a dinosaur covered in blades. As a happy accident, Spinomon is orange like Patamon too. Digimon Savers even connected Stegomon and Spinomon by making Ivan turn into variants of both of them.

Tailmon/Bitmon is simple. Pink rabbit with blades? Crescemon and Dianamon. Andiramon and Cherubimon Virtue also work.

Wormmon/Togemogumon is a little more complicated. Blastmon plays off it visually even though it's made of diamond and not ice. Then Panjyamon X-Antibody creates an interesting bridge in that it's an ice-themed mammal that's blue and white, and it's also bipedal and wearing a cape. You could also draw something between Panjyamon X's mane and Blastmon's crystals.

Hawkmon needs to end in FrosVelgrmon no matter what, even though Rinkmon is a "blade" one and not "ice" one. I think I've mentioned before how the friendship armors are really all over the place, right? Anyway, I'm not in love with it, but a humanoid with blades on its feet calls Matadrmon to mind and I don't have a better idea. If you squint, Matadrmon kind of plays off Hawkmon's color scheme and wings.

Looking back at the KarnEX video on this subject, he had the same idea for both Sepikmon and Stegomon. He chose RaijiLudomon to bridge Lighdramon and Qinglongmon, and CrysPaledramon to bridge Rinkmon and FrosVelgrmon. His idea for Togemogumon was Frozomon and AncientMegatheriummon which I can see, and he played with Blizzarmon as the perfect level which I did too at first. In fact, while I like what I ended up with, I am a little shocked AncientMegatheriummon didn't even cross my mind. His idea for Bitmon was Kyukimon and Cherubimon, which is fair but I do like the Dianamon line more.

As for the misfits of Thunderbirmon and Kenkimon:

Karn's idea of Loudmon and Heavymetaldramon works great if Impmon is Thunderbirmon's child stage. It has the same mask as Lighdramon and Qinglongmon, but I'm not 100% on what could bridge it with Qinglongmon. And it's boring to have dupes.

LoaderLiomon and HeavyLeomon carry Kenkimon's construction machinery theme. Karn suggested Valvemon and Breakdramon which is very respectable too, especially if you're not a fan of it turning into a Voltron.

that is a very hard question. in adventure, it jumps from champion to mega. now, there are a few option in more general media. Leomon can side evo into his x antibody form. it can also side evo into Madleomon. as ultimates, you have 2 major lines. you have the mecha adjacent, with Grapleomon, or the ice recolour, with Panjyamon.

Grapleomon then can evolve into Saberleomon or Heavyleomon.

Saberleomon can then evolve into Dinotigermon.

Somewhere there is also Bancholeomon, but that one usually just happens. (in the x brick i usually go leomon x -> cerberumon x -> sakuyamon x, so if you want to expand the search range a bit more, we can also do that)

I have decided that Leomon will be my companion digimon and the relationship between us is none of your business

(I may admit I felt tempted to follow the digievolution line of Panjyamon just so Izotz could eventually be Duftmon X-Antibody but:

To pass from a healer to a physical fighter doesn’t fit him

I have already 2 Duftmon (3 if I count the Royal Knight from Anselm’s homeworld) and like stop it woman you already have too much Duftmons

So, no furry white lion nor armoured Duftmon I guess)

[digimonlines]

Liollmon to Duftmon

[kingdomblade]

If you could redesign one of leomons evos what would you change?

Honestly I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with any of their designs even if there are a few I don't care for - the one exception is IceLeomon/Panjyamon, but the flip side to him is he has one of the coolest X-Antibody variants (no pun intended)!

[craniozito]

Oh, I guess I'm not seeing things then, I'm glad people are seeing the references as well.

Another fun fact no one asked for.

Panjyamon is a reference to Panja from Jungle Emperor/Kimba the White Lion.

Talking about references I was thinking if Hououmon X-Antibody is a reference to Tezuka's Phoenix, but it's probably more of an inspiration from Fenghuang myth than from Tezuka's design.

And there is also Plutomon, I think it's more the general shape that gives me that impression, but it's probably not inspired by it directly either.

I was going to use the Reference Book artworks but they are too small to see anything so too bad, using the card game, Survive and New Century arts.
