I thought I'd share my most recent DCMK fan art: The Gosho Four DigiDestined!
I don't know how familiar any of you might be with the Digimon series, but those of you who know me for my fan fiction might know that I write a lot of Digimon fics (it's how I got started on FanFiction.net). August 1st if what Digimon fans call Odaiba Day and consider it the Digimon series' Anniversary day, and I make sure to update my 3 major Digimon fan fics on that day, so obviously I've had Digimon on the brain for a while, but then I also got back into Detective Conan and this fan art was born. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE PART OF MY DIGIMON DETECTIVE FIC (which stars Hakuba and my cover art for that fic happens to be my current profile picture on here).
I put Heiji and Veemon together because I think out of all the leader Digimon, Veemon suits Heiji the best. Veemon is playful, energetic and Daisuke and Heiji just seem to have a lot of the same passionate and hot-headed tendencies. It was kind of a no brainer for me in choosing to put them together as a team.
Like with Heiji and Veemon, Hakuba and Hawkmon just seem like an obvious pair to me because 1), Hakuba has Watson, and 2) Hawkmon was cultured and had an English(ish) accent in the English Dub. They just seemed like the perfect pair to me. Hawkmon was going to be my original choice for Hakuba's parnter in my Digimon Detective fic, but I had a dream where he had a Gatomon/Tailmon instead and I fell in love with that idea and went with her instead. If you're interested, my Digimon Detective fan fic can be found on fanfiction.net or AO3.
Unlike with Hakuba and Hattori, Kaito and Shinichi were hard to pick partners for because there didn't seem to be any obvious picks. I toyed with the idea to pair Kaito with a Wizardmon because magic and stuff, and then was later tempted to pick Impmon because of their similar joking prankster natures, but Impmon's Mega form is one of the Demon Lords, and I didn't want that for Kaito (because Hattori's Veemon can Digivolve into one of the Royal Knights and Hakuba's Hawkmon has an evolution line that can Digivolve into Zhuqiaomon (Tamers' Digimon Sovereign Holy Bird type), so I thought of Patamon because he is a Holy Digimon and an Angel Knight in his higher forms, and since Kaitou KID (even though he is a mischievous phantom theif) is ultimately one of the good guys and a symbol of hope and freedom in a world where the Black Organization exists, Patamon is ultimately who I went with.
As for Shinichi I jumped back and forth between Agumon, Gabumon, and Tentomon, but none of them seemed to fit Shinichi. Then I considered Terriermon and for a while I thought I was going to draw him with Shinichi, but Terriermon seemed to be too playful for Shinichi, and more like a Digimon Kaito would be paired with if I hadn't settled for Patamon. So then as I searched through my Digimon picture files, I remembered Kudamon who ultimatley digivolves into Kentaurosmon, another of the Royal Knights like Veemon's Magnamon form. Also, I was really tired and my lame brain (after working all evening and staying up late drawing Kaito and watching my sister play Skyrim until 5 am this morning) decided that the terrible pun "Kudo's got a Kudamon" sounded funny and was sold. But to back my decision up, Kudamon was Captain Satsuma's partner in Digimon Savers and was a very wise and experienced Digimon, who could see the flaws in the Royal Knight's blind faith and following of Yggdrasil, which is kinda similar to how I think Shinichi now views solving cases after being shrunk into Conan and put on the run from the Black Organization. I see them both as Digimon/human beings who have been taught humility and have learned from it, so in that sense I see them as kindred spirits and perfect partners.
It was a lot of fun working on these. I love both Digimon and Detective Conan/Magic Kaitou, so what better way to show it, than to cross the two over. This was for fun after writing nothing but digimon fan fiction for the 15th anniversary. Though now that the idea is there, I might write something with these partnerships.
I'm thinking of doing Pokemon next, so if you guys have any ideas on what Pokemon I should give the Gosho Four, let me know! Though please keep in mind that I haven't seen any of the seasons past that first one with May and Max (before the voice actors switched), have only seen movies 1-5, 7, and vaguely remember 8 (didn't see the Jirachi movie), and never played any of the games beyond Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, so there are a whole bunch of pokemon I am unfamiliar with. Also let me know if I should do the girls (Aoko, Ran, Kazuha, Akako) and/or the Detective Boys as well (with pokemon and/or Digimon).
