EDIT 2: FINALLY FIXED THE MUSIC SYNC. IT'S FNALLY IN TIME PROPERLY NOW. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Everyone up there, I'm sorry if I didn't do justice to your characters =w=;; I tried to be accurate in all details and keep them IC in whatever they do, but if I failed, have my apologies and some chocolate. *feeds*

EDIT: SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE SEEING IT TOTALLY OFF-SYNC TO THE MUSIC. I'M SORRY, TRYING TO FIX IT NOW. *SOBS*

-----------------

IT IS FINISHED. FINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISHEEEEEEEEDDDDDD.

*flips table*

I now hate Flash. And photoshop. And big file sizes. And the piece of music I used. And stupid insane details on Joshua and Cade and Valleri. And stupid timing. And I need sleep. And I will never, EVER do this again. And I hate all the stupid ugly error-y stuff in there but I'm not going back to fix it I'm just too tired.

.....And I get this warm and happy feeling when I look at my beautiful Digimon in this. owo


BEWARE LONG AND LENGTHY DESCRIPTION

I first decided to do this as a challenge to myself, to touch the Flash that I haven't touched since my secondary school days under the tutelage of Mr Lee.

When I first began storyboarding and planning, it seemed really fun and exciting... and then I got down to actually drawing and the anatomy, angles and poses fair killed me. I'm not a very good artist when it comes to either of those three, so even the sketches took me really really long to get right. Still, I'm proud to see that I managed to get quite a variety of positions and angles in this compared to my usual happy 3/4 front comfort zone view.

Digimon has always been one of my all time favourite fandoms (yes, I love ALL THE SEASONS, EACH AND EVERY ONE). That, and the fact that I've always been ambitious, meant that I didn't want to submit anything crappy. Hence the drawing, redrawing, fussing, drawing, erasing, redrawing... Much thanks to my awesome brother :iconburstjoe: for helping me with some anatomy and foreshortening advice when it came to Monodramon.

Most of the focus is on the Digimon, because after all, in a battle, the Digimon does all the work. I've always loved how Digimon are sentient creatures who grow and learn, even though they are data, so I wanted to showcase them fighting. Although some put the leaders (and their Digimon) as 'standby in case of trouble', I thought that since it was a 'tag-team', they should involved in the battle as well; either as support, or as the attacker for a support-based partner.

Then there was the fact that some people were choosing winning/losing sides. I'd feel guilty if I defeated my opponent, because it'd somehow feel like I was elevanting myself up. But I didn't want to lose, either. *likeswinningSHOT* So I made it end in a very loose, 'epic' sort of way, with no final end. And frankly, in a sparring match between members on the same side, that's pretty much what it is. Endless, because they are ever improving on their own and with each other.

Lineart is always a pain. Took me days. Seriously. It did. Colouring, too, but I hope I'm getting better at it. And halfway through you guys can probably see where I started to go I DON'T CARE ANYMORE SOB. XD;;;

I HATE FLASH. I'M NOT GOING TO RANT ABOUT IT TOO MUCH BUT I HATE FLASH.

And finally, the credits to everyone involved:

Much thanks to :iconbabo-sparkle: for encouraging me all the while as we talk about our similarities and silly acts and YAY TALES.

Much thanks to :iconburstjoe: for advice in anatomy and foreshortening.

Much thanks to :iconrueme: for making this lovely group, and prompting me to start this insane project.

Much thanks to :iconbear-0: and :iconsaawaa: and :iconrueme: for putting up with all my my question-after-question-after-question notes on your OCs.

Much thanks to you for taking the time to watch this.



*collapses*

Project began on the 26th/27th of August.
Project completed on 23rd September midnight.



NOTE: Please ignore how the height of people, size of Digimon and length of tails are ever changing. Also ignore the inconsistent backgrounds, which tend to be very lazy looking.

------------------------

THIS IS NOT FULLY COMPLETE GIMME 20 MORE MINUTES DDDDD:

So apparently Dai is stupid and time zones make no sense to her. And the event ends tomorrow. oTL

Excuse me while I smash my head against a wall.
