Revisiting Flitmon!

Flitmon, conceptually, worked. A little pixie that turned into a fairy, that turned into a harpy/siren, that turned into... A personified jet plane??? (Oh JetSylphymon...) However I never really super nailed a design I liked? And I think a lot of that was my own inexperience, or feeling beholden to Fairymon's design, or just not knowing how to execute my ideas, ect.

It got better when I changed the character's outfit around 2016, but that was really more of a band-aid than a full fix. And I only did a band-aid because I was working on the comic at the time and didn't want to completely change the design suddenly. Even going as far as giving an in-story explanation for the outfit change.

Even then I could tell that the old design was too busy. The big pointy elf ears crowded with the butterfly head accessories, and clashed with the big round pixie wings that obscured the character's silhouette. I tried to tie things together better in the outfit change with butterfly motifs, but they ended up getting a little lost. This poor little pixie ended up being a clutter of shapes that only just almost worked and admittedly was kinda hard to draw because nothing quite flowed right.

The new look I focused on just getting all the elements working together. I ditched the elf ears for wing ears, gave her a wind-swept-pixie-cut, some little antennae to tie the head shape together, toned down the wings to something smaller and cuter with a more harmonious shape, and redid the outfit to something that pushes the concept a little more, improved the silhouette, and has better color harmony. (Also adjusted color harmony in general!)

I'm pretty happy with it! It's very cute, and oddly enough, feels like it fits as a Fairymon Pre-Evolution MORE than the very first one where I was trying wayyy too hard to make it a Fairymon Pre-Evo.

It's nice!

[digilici]

Flit: *kisses Lam on cheek*

Lam: ?! *turns red**is flustered**also loves it*

Reflect: *squealing under their breath* it’s finally happening! Aren’t they cute?

Fla: Ecch! *mimes sticking finger down throat*

idk lol

[digilici]

i can’t draw flecky without making the height difference between them and everyone else look super-awkward

like

let’s say that flecky and lam are standing next to eachother

lam is about half of flecky’s height

now, i’m 5′2″, so if i were in flecky’s position, it’d be like having a 2′7″ person next to me, and if i were in lam’s position, that’d be like having a 10′4″ person next to me.

and the tallest person in the history of ever was just under 9′.

i know which position i’d rather be in.(HINT HINT FLECKY. I’D RATHER HAVE A TODDLER NEXT TO ME THAN A FREAKING GIANT.)

haha lol for whatever reason i’m just imagining flit gingerly tugging at my hoodie with their pudgy little hand and looking up at me with their doe eyes all cutesy and smiling at me in the most adorable way possible WHY ARE TODDLERS AND FLIT SO DARN CUTE

but yeah.

why is flecky so freakishly tall.

Flitmon

Floating on the sweetest of breezes, Flitmon is considered the most gentle of the reborn warriors. Do not let the candy colored exterior fool you, though, as their Farfalla Tempesta almost never misses, and if things get personal, their Girandola Torsione will give taller enemies an especially nasty surprise.

—-

Attacks: Farfalla Tempesta: Summons a Storm of butterflies to attack the enemy. Girandola Torsione: Flips and twists in the air to gain momentum before kicking the enemy full force.
