...and I can't even limit myself to saying it brings back memories of CHILDHOOD road trips. This is what a lot of my anime convention caravans with vehicles full of grown adults end up feeling like.
AUGH I'm reminded of my father's gf. who has the bladder capacity of a gnat but also requires amounts of coffee that should leave her able to vibrate straight into parallel dimensions, all while complaining it "goes right through her"
Digimon Adventure: 2005 character #1 - Yuki Umi & Betamon
(yapping under the cut)
Guys, Yuki is such a special boy, Yuki was my very first Digimon oc (not counting two I made as a wee lad lol) I made him in 2020, he originally was 17 and his Digivice was a phone O_O but Beta's always been his partner Digi! My original theme for my ocs was like evil Digimon kinda, so most of them had past vilians for partners. But that was Yuki then, here's Yuki now!
Yuki is an sweet 11 year old boy, he has the typical goggle boy apperance, but he's actually not the group leader. In fact the design showcased in this illustration is just his Digital world outfit! Subconsciously inspired by Daisuke's outfit, even though he doesn't really remember him (cuz of story stuff).
Backstory (tw parental death): Yuki was born prematurely to teen parents, his mother unfortunately passed shortly after his birth, leaving just his father and fragile little baby Yuki. Consequently Yuki is sort of half-baked, he's super short and chronically ill, but he also doesn't like being "babied" and really wants to prove he can hold his own (especially to his dad who had a tendancy to treat him like glass).
Yuki was also one of the kids taken in by Oikawa and given a copy of the dark spore, in my mind he replaces the little boy in the front w/ the teal jacket (also remember this image because it'll come up later XP)
He was 8 at the time and very vulnerable, because he didn't really have any friends, and he was sort of grasping the concept of his moms death and feeling guilty for (in his mind) being the cause. At the start of the story he doesn't remeber the events of 02, and he's made peace with his feelings, which makes him into a nice peppy kid.
Yuki and Betamon click very well, as they're so similar in personality. They have so much life and energy and they always look for the silver lining no matter the situation. You could call them naive, but I think they just like to see the good in a world. Yuki really looks up to all the older kids in the group, especially Yuuma, because to Yuki he's so brave and smart and he's the group leader so why wouldn't he look up to him? Yuuma is almost like a big brother to him.
Yuki's best friend is Nozomi, who will be the next character I draw. Nozo and Yuyu met in a childrens hospital, Yuki was there for his illness, and Nozomi had just had surgery on their leg after they broke it. The two hit it off big time and they've been best friends ever since, but I'll talk more about that in Nozo's post <3
If you're reading this, thank you so much for getting to the end of this big ol' yap post! I'm really passionate about my au and you taking the time to read about it means the world to me!!! Stay tuned for the rest of the characters as I draw them!!
This is one of three commissions done by Deko-kun on DevArt back in the day for Digimon Battle Generation.
This is of course my new Goggle Boy for that fanseries, Takumi. He is 14 during the events of the series, and he is... ah, well. He is a troubled teen, in more ways than one.
His dad is a teacher, his family is very traditional, and his parents do not want him to be a Digimon Tamer, so he has to keep Kotemon a secret. Which leads to him participating in the illegal tournament, where he does, eventually, do some... questionable things. Let's put it like this.
