Happy Sunday, notification squad! 💫 Which of these Digimon concept arts is YOUR favourite?🤔 ALSO! Make sure to check out links to FANDRAMON's scans in the description as it seems a lot of their legwork has been reposted by other people!

My new fav. digimon: Leonidalookingmofomon. the pre-evolution of lionidasmon with his special move "this is sparta kick"

I definitely love Garurugreymon, it looks so cool plus knowing the little nod in cyber sleuth when Nokia gets omnimon and calls them Garurugreymon is so good

Some neat designs here! I'd love to see some of these Spadamon variants become their own little sword mons.

The Gaomon concept art looks like they were going for a Raiju inspired digimon, though honestly Garurumon kinda has that covered, including the striped look. Raiju is thunder beast that often has a dog/wolf or tiger-wolf type look, and it seems to represent nasty lightning strikes. The drum around the neck is like the drums that accompany Raijin, the japanese thunder god.

I think zexmon would of been perfect for tri. Instead of it being the data of apochlymon make zex mon the remnants of diaboromon taking over imperialdramon. Simialr to the "evil" imperialdramon in Tri.

I know one of the original concepts for Frontier had the Lonewolf character as a girl, but this was changed so as to not look like a copy of Tamers That concept art of Chakmon that looks much more like Garurumon has me convinced that the design was retconned into Wolfmon/Lobomon as the Warrior of Light when the decision to make the Lonewolf a girl was dropped. D'Arcmon/Hippogriffmon was in some of the original concepts fod Frontier, too, I believe, which also lends some credibility to the idea that the concept of a female Lonewolf was originally the Warrior of Light, while the Garurumon-like Digimon was the Warrior of ice. And, not going to lie, I wish we'd gotten that version.

I guess you could say they're designs went through THE DIGIVOLUTION

I must admit that the one of Imperialdramon: Fighter Mode and Armagemon Definitely surprised me and now I really want it to be an official fusion between them 🤩

the necklace on the old gaomon is a Nagado Tomoe drum of asia (aka the drums raijin has in his myths)

That one with TV goggles is badass, I want it

2:14 meaby ice spirit was representing garurumon line like fire spirit is representing greymon, but they had changed it for some reason

Nokia calls Omegamon GaruruGreymon in the Cyber Sleuth game too, I love it 🤣 BetaOtamamon is adoorbs!

Seeing all of those concept art just makes me happy. It is also dissapeointng to see what we could have gotten design wise

1:42 I absolutely love the cyclops thing in the middle at the top

I wish that Spadamon riding a Koromon was real. That is such a cool nod to slime knight from the Dragon Quest series.

that final omnimon concept is EXACTLY HOW I SEE A FINAL KIZUNA OMNIMON LOOKINV LIKE!

Dude that alternate concept for Omegamon is awesome. I hope it comes back some day. Agubond x Gabubond = Omegabond

I think the Drum around ProtoGaomon is used in ceremonies and similar occasions and it's the same type of drum as Dondokomon(Taiko I want to say)

i really want to see the spadamon variants. those legendary arms digimon look awesome. the centaur in the frontier would look nice as a alter evo for kudamon and the bolgmon look amazing. but maybe the yellow one should be linked to honeybeemon. the switchover mons could be a form for monitamon. the masterdramon could be a counterpart for gaiomon.

Holy shit, those Omegamon designs look amazing!! Also, it suddenly occurs to me, between that Eldradimon concept and the poster on Gennai's wall, that at least someone behind Digimon is clearly a massive Discworld fan! And age check? I remember seeing in the millenium in the pub at the bar that would later be used for the Denton Arms in A Touch of Frost with David Jason, much of which was later filmed in Leeds like a lot of other stuff!

Looks like a Raijin like Taiko drum around Gaomon's collar. Tho their drums usually have 3 curved Magatama like shapes to Gaomon's 2.

2:04 yo this is so cool and I’ll be 100% on board with it since it makes way more sense than that punching fish

I would have been fine with a number of these beta designs being the final forms. It would be neat to see them as alternate digimon or eveloution.

I never quite liked Omnimon's design it just feels incomplete. So loved seeing some of the concepts for omnimon

I think Masterdramon and that Imperialdramon/Diaboromon fusion. They really need to look at these old sketches. so much potential

brings curser to 4:30 ah yes, Buyeemon: the Delivery Digimon

Awww this Gaomon beta would make a great pet 😍❤️

I remember Analog. I also still have my cassette tapes and VHS tapes. And it's always fun seeing these Digimon designs and the process they went through.

The symbol on gaomon's early design is called a tomoe. It has some importance in the shinto religion that i don't know much of. The most notable interpretation of this symbol might be the sharingan. Also doggo's design has a lot of resemblance to amaterasu from the game okami, so maybe there's something about dogs/wolves and shinto gods but i'm not sure

i think Masterdramon could be reworked as an evolution of MasterTyrannomon. i'd also like to see one of those Omegamon concepts redone as a ZeedGarurumon/VictoryGreymon fusion

3:23 That drum thing is a reference to the god raiju who uses drums with this desing to summon lightning

the arm at 12:27 reminds me a lot of raijiludomon

Oh nah I need that Zexmon like now. That and Masterdramon. Both are awesome. And that derpy Spadamon art needs to be used immediately lol

Garurugreymon looks like it belongs in Digimon fusion and it should have.

This is amazing to see and so helpful for you to point out who they become or might be. I am bad with digimon names so trying to look up who I am thinking of would be impossible. Thank you!!!

I believe there was a mentioning of Garurugreymon in cyber sleuth when Nokia fused her partners to omnimon

That prototype design actually looks better than the Bond of Courage form for me.

hope we get a clearer shot of ragnalordmons draft version some day

I really like those analog switchover Digimon! Hope they do something with those designs

Alicormon (derived from Alicorn, a mythical creature with both elements of the Unicorn and Pegasus.) Level: possibly Armor or Perfect Possible Prevos: Patamon, Tukaimon, Unimon, Pegasmon, PawnChessmon Arctimon (derived from Arctic, because it's a polar bear, and Arctic supposedly translates to bear in a certain country? That I can't name due to not remembering?💧opps.) Level: Ideally Child, but it could pass for an Adult level too. Possible Evos: Chakkumon, Blizzarmon (via Beast Spirit Evolution), Daipenmon (Fusion Spirit Evolution), Alpsmon (Alternate Fusion Spirit Evolution), Ancient Megathirimon (Ancient Spirit Evolution) Canismon?Canidmon? Level: ??? (Maybe Corrupt Human Spirit Evolution?) ElecVespermon? Or just Vespermon? Level: strikes me as either Adult or Mega. RailKabuterimon Blue and Black Level: Perfect or Mega FeralGaomon? ShintoGaomon? Do we have an Akitamon? Level: Child. Could also be a prevo for Gaomon, but it's too developed to not be a Rookie. Possible Prevos: Tsunomon (because what mammals doesn't this little guy evolve into? I wouldn't be surprised if he could evolve into an eventual Platypusmon. Platymon?) Possible Evos: Gaogamon (obviously), POW-Gaogamon (because a Gaogamon who mixes sumo, kickboxing, and Olympic wrestling is ABSOLUTELY worth it.) Pulsemon-X Spadamon Variants/Family (Based on the spreadsheet of concept art alone, there could be a Spadamon for each Family Field. Maybe even some having different attributes.) Level: same as Spadamon. Jackomon (derived from Jack-O-Lantern. Fun fact: Jack-O-Lanterns used to be made using onions before they started using pumpkins.) Level: Lesser (In-Training) Possible Evos: Arureamon, Pumpmon Space Starmon? Nah, it's probably already from space … Galactic Starmon? Actually that sounds pretty good. Could be a Starmon-X if we don't have one yet though. Level: Perfect Possible Evos: DeviStarmon (I AM DEVASTAR/DEVISTAR!!) Besa Otamamon Level: Child Possible Evos: Besa Drigogemon? (I am positive that I am misspelling at least a few of these names), Marine Angemon (Warp Evolution) TVmon/TVdramon/ Tele-V-dramon Level: Adult or Perfect? (depends on the size of this lad) Possible Prevos: Monitamon+Vmon, V-dramon, Pikamon+Monitamon (I'm sorry, it's too fitting not to!), Pulsemon, Shoutmon+Pulsemon+ Damudamon, or just Damudamon Possible Evos: Broadcasmon Broadcasmon Level: Perfect or Mega Possible Prevos: TVmon/TVdramon/ Tele-V-dramon Variants: Eldoradimon Monzaemon-X attribute variants? Personally I love Monzaemon-X as presented, but I wouldn't be bothered if they introduced the other variants, in fact, I support it! Though I wouldn't want to use the Numemon version … Damudamon Level: Variable, though mostly Adult to Perfect. Possible Prevos Shoutmon, Xrossmon, Shoutmon Grei, Shoutmon Blue, Yellmon, Magentamon, Gumdramon+Cypresmon, FauxShoutmon Zord, Koromon (because there's no reason he wouldn't) Possible Evos: OmegaShoutmon, Shoutmon Zord (basically a megazord made mainly of Shoutmon, Shoutmon Grei, Shoutmon Blue, Yellmon, Magentamon, and occasionally Cypresmon or Gumdramon, or both.), Adamon (derived from Adamant and Adam from the story of Adam and Eve.), UltForceV-dramon HeraVolumon? I like Ballistamon, but don't like bug digimon with the whole "headlight eyes or no eyes" thing most of them have. Ever since I saw DarkVolumon I wanted there to be a middle ground design between Ballistamon and DarkVolumon, and it seems like HeraVolumon might be the closest thing we get, and I think I'm OK with that. Dorurumon?Darurumon? It just looks like Dorulumon with more Garurumon emphasis. Not that I have a problem with that. He kinda strikes me as a more rebellious, lone wolf version of Dorulumon, (more so than the shades wearing Bagra Army/Pre Cutemon Dorulumon) That would fight only for himself and only follow orders if they benefit him. He also looks like he could evolve into MadLeomon or MachLeomon, which I kinda like. Maybe MachLeomon evolved from this version of Dorulumon? Hiltmon I see him as a Weapon Arms digimon that hasn't developed its to enter weapon mode without XrosFusing with other digimon. But he could get somewhere as he evolves. Archermon Possible Prevos: Pixiemon, Gladimon,

I like the Beta Pulsemon because it looks a bit more cool and also I like the pink

2:04 something to keep in mind for the “fixing the light armor” video?

I like the new shelfs. Its all starting to come together!!

I’m gonna be honest, I would 100% be down for more Concept Videos. I adore this type of content and leaning about what could have been and what could still be. I’ve never sees those Spadamon Concepts, and as someone who loves Knight imagery, I am ashamed in myself for not knowing about them. I seriously wanna try cleaning up a few of those and making them OC Digimon. They look…so good. Also. I say this as a half joke and half serious. With how Time After Time has been working lately, I would not be surprised if one of these concepts end up being reused for the 25th Anniversary Digimon. I mean wouldn’t complain about it, but I would also laugh so hard. Great video as always Karn! And…a video about the “Evil” Frontier Spirits? Why you have captured my attention, and I am excited to see what it is.

Maximus picklerickimus. The true hero of xros wars, lol.

The bond of courage and friendship evolutions should have been fusions with Matt and Tai. I will never change my mind.

10:31 damn this person made Risegryemon!! That's so cool! Risegryemon has always been my favorite Digimon so it's cool the one who made it made also the great Fanbeemon line and Zexmon looks so cool!!! OMG like I am a massive fan of the second Diaboramon movie and most of that comes down to Armageddemon and Imperialdramon's epic battle especially the ending of the fight with Paladin Mode. So seeing a fusion of it is so cool!

I know I'm a year late, but I remember when we had a digibox, a receiver for digital broadcasts that could then output that to a regular old analog crt... The first ones we had were made by Nokia, because Finland. They didn't have any fancy features... I can't even remember if they had the card slot for the cards that let you access subscription channels... They must have, I don't think we got MTV3 Max etc. (who remembers THAT, and not it doesn't mean MusicTV like the US MTV, it stands for Mainostelevisio, meaning commercial television, as it was the first commercial channel in Finland and got channel slot 3) that late... It's been close to ten years at least since we got digital tv... If not longer... On cable they could switch easily, but we lived in an area where there was only over the air broadcast and as such we got access to dtv later.

I love that centaur...

Zexmon as a villain or out of left field team up jogress for a game or tv show would be super neat

The giant turtle with thing on its back is just a mythological staple

Monzaemon-X showing the Numemon within. Love that design. Second place goes to Zexmon.

Garurugreymon? Nokia would be happy

I remember seeing a beta herissmon design once and from what I remember he looked more hamster like.

Imperialdramon also had X-Antibody concept art but it never actually happened in chronicles. Sucks that we got robbed of imperialdramon X or even paladin mode X.

at 11:40 OMG NOKIA IN CYBER SLUETH REFERANCED THAT NAME!

Pulsemon's prototype has the same scarf tail thing as Zeraora rather than an actual tail I now no longer think the similarities between the 2 are a mere coincidence

12:13 you know I did an art that look almost similar to this concept. I was wanting to create an original inspiration of Omegamon. The helmet and body were slightly similar but different, the hands where those of arm weapons you know like tactical gauntlets and steampunk gun arms. I must say these concepts look good, I hope they'll have purpose in the future of digimon.

Pls do a video where you rank ALL digimon villains. Games, Manga, Anime, Movies...that would be really cool to see

Ah concept art. Sometimes your exciting and we all think back what might have been

The reason why the slime for monzaemon x is now pink is because Numemon x is pink aswell, it makes sense. I just wish they'd kept the extra eyes

Thats actually cool now. In Cybersluthe, Nokia 1st calls Omni(Omega)mon "Garurugreymon". Though Nokia was just being..well Nokia, but it was actually a reference to the Concept name.

Holy shit ALL OF THEM LOOK GOOD (expect for 2:15 too pokemon-ish)

Great video Tainted Digimeat!

I think the drum on the neck of Beta Gaomon is... Well a drum. It has a symbol relating to Raijin the japanese thunder God. And yes they probably were going for a motif of those dogs with the Brandi barrel on their necks, but changed it.

Oooh I could really see the big turtle with the broadcasting tower on its back being an Eldoradimon mode change, or at least a similar idea, for a "Modern/Future mode" with the current version of Eldoradimon being the "ancient mode".

wanted to comment this early but got distracted by the artwork I would love a continuation/ reboot of the analogue/ digital tv Digimon could be called Terebidramon (Television in Japanese+ dramon) and is the television equivalent of shoutmon and Gatchmon maybe with a lightning blast. The next one would be the dragon turtle with the tower or Eiseidramon (satellite in Japanese + dramon) and its vast size allows it to create a digital shell from its satellite as well as listen in to enemy communication. Next, I'm thinking of something similar to the soundwave satellite design from transformers, Transmishmon (Transmission) a large mechanical wyvern whose frequency freakout screech is perfect for disorienting. Finally a Digimon similar in concept to Terebidramon where he can use different film/ tv genres as mode changes or weapons maybe Captain Eigamon (Captain+ Film in Japanese) or simply Eigamon

the last one may work as bond of courage and bond of friendship fusion? i mean omnimon looks more like a celestial mechanical being even though its comprised of the flesh armored metalgarurumon and wargreymon i can still see bond of courage and bond of friendship fused to be a more armored form by that logic

The beta Kumamon, Zexmon, and the turtle digimon with a signal tower on its back are my favorites of this bunch. They are just cool and I wish we could have got them at some point. The beta Kumamon would have made a better hybrid digivolution than daipenmon that's for sure.

2:11 Ice bear: Ice bear is now a Digimon

Hm, how very interesting, i would really like to see more of these and would’ve also liked to see these fully realized.

i like how scrapped omegamon design become sagitarimon, kaisergreymon, susanoomon, and agumon bond of courage zexmon looks cooler than chaosmon lol

Proto-Gaomon really looks like it should be the true Rookie of Garurumon.

That's Bond of Bravery. That Omegamon. That's Bond of Bravery

These are some cool designs, do wish we got some of these over the final products. I really like that frontier armoured centaur! The slimey monzaemonX reminds me of Bugz/Bugbear from Shin Megami Tensei. I do wish someone could unearth the art for the Accel Burst modes tho, bandai plz. Also there are some Hackmon prototypes shown in one of the supplemental "15th anniversary card game returns" booklets

The Pulsemon concept ties more easily into Shroudmon which is fun

i like the plant spadamon also the one that is literaly a slime knight from dragon quest

That's a drum from what I'm seeing, it looks similar to the one floating around that Japanese thunder god

Gaomon went from Shiba to Shiboxer

The gaomon alternate on all fours reminds me of renamons evolution in tamers

to be honest, when i was still a kid, on the time when i saw omegamon's pic on the internet, i really thought that omegamon would also add parts of the other chosen children's digimon on it, cause its body aside from from its arm is just pure white (like a main frame of a gundam figure) ei: a.helmet made from an evolution of kabuterimon b. wings from an evo of garudamon c. armor from an evo zudomon d. amulet from an evo of lilymon e. leg armor from magnaangemon f. halo from angewomon

Didn't quite finish that last one, whoopsie! Archermon Possible Prevos: Pixiemon, Gladimon, Mamemon, Nanimon Zexmon Level: Mega or Ultra GaruruGreymon Level: Mega MasterDramon Level: Mega Maybe GaruruGreymon and Masterdramon could serve as DNA/Jogress achievements in the same way as Paildramon and DinoBeemon? Omnimon/Omegamon Bond of Unity? (What would one call Omnimon/Omegamon's crest from Adventure2020?) Level: God (Not Mega, GOD. Above what we have already.)

I remember the switch over from analog!

Prototype Starmon vaguely reminds me of Grungust from SRWOGs

Omnimon Bond of Courage and Friendship pog

Nice concept art. I'm sorry I couldn't talk about the Digimon Collectors Event before, but that's only because my comment kept getting removed due to me using a link to Wikimon.

Speaking of Kizuna, Agumon says that he gets the feeling they will see each other again, and adventure 02 shows them all grown up with their digimon, so I'm thinking in a future movie or series for adventure they are reunited with their digimon partners.

alot of these arts are great and will help me in desgining my own future art of digimon :D

I like how the Pegasus digimon has a Lance that’s also a gun And he’s got that long ass revolver in the other hand Digimon be wilin with their designs

I always wanted a main line tiger digimon I’m hoping one day the lead digimon stop being a dragon it got very repetitive after tamers.

Spadamon to me, always looked like it was supposed to be a trio with lunamon and coronamon

12:33 no, no. They went: "Let's strip this one"

10:10 MAXIMUS PICKLE-RICKIMUS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It would be sick if you did hey what if video about if the frontier Spirits had full evolutionary lines similar to Angunimon and lobomon. I will never not be upset that the other Spirits got cheated out of full evo lines

Just a Video idea 💡 The O.G Mighty Morphing Power Rangers with Digimon Partners : Idea :Red Ranger = Tyrannomon Green : RustTyrannomon (Dragon Zord) Black :SkullMamaphmon Yellow : SaborLeomon

I have to say I much prefer the frontier final designs than the prototypes

12:22 This looks kinda like Stingmon.

Ice Bear likes this design 2:12

I approve this thumbnail 😌
