Sketches

These are my original character sketches for this story! I drew these sometime between 2000 and 2002, during the Digimon anime's original US run, when I was a bored 13-15 year old. I had completely forgotten these existed, and when I found them while cleaning the house recently, I immediately scanned them to preserve them! There are tons of ideas bouncing around in these drawings - many that made it into the final story, and others that didn't.

These sketches are incredibly old, and extremely rough, but they are the genesis of Digimon Infinity's visual development. I hope you'll appreciate them as much as I do!

Main Characters:

Akira, Seita and Tian:

Jun and Mana:

Kei, Yuka and Rion:

Kei looks very different from her final design - I was originally going for a look similar to Takeru from Digimon Adventure and Chihiro from Spirited Away, but she ended up looking too different from Akira for them to look like half-sisters, so I ended up changing her design later.

Digivice and Crest redesign:

At some point (2002?) I tried to redesign the Digivices and Crests, to make the Digivice more similar to the D-ark and the Crests more like chips (similar to the plug-in chips from Rockman EXE). I ended up not liking the redesign very much and scrapped it.

Main Characters (Version 2):

Akira, Tian and Kei:

Some minor redesigns of a few characters, but only Kei's redesign made it into the story.
