(((I Will Outlive)))

Just you, me and the stars.

It's been a while since I worked on an original Digimon design. But since it's a day off today and I've been thoroughly back into my personal Koura framing madness... I thought about their potential Jogress evolution and how Tri has robbed us of it. The third or fourth movie should have been theirs, just saying.

I just thought about how great it would have been to not only have it been born over Sora's and Koushirou's bond with each other, but also over their devotion to Taichi (and by extension, Yamato as well). By having them wish to fight alongside, support and protect him/them.

The design itself borrowed mostly from HeraklesKabuterimon, Hououmon, a bit of Garudamon and Silphymon - and of course the general idea of them being rather humanoid (and non-binary, because this would be the first Jogress evolution of Chosen Children with different genders - who may or may not struggle with their own self-representation). The helmet and armor are mostly taken from HeraklesKabuterimon, the head, the brain; whereas most of the body (shoulder pads!), wings are mostly inspired by Hououmon, the free spirit, the beauty... They're protectors, they're shields, they're knights. They love their redheads and will do whatever it takes to grant their wishes. (The height might still be variable, depending on demand. Not surprising that they have orange-reddish hair, huh? On a different note, Reboot!Tentomon once mentioned he was jealous of Garudamon's long hair, so...)

The name, Talosmon, is still WIP, but I liked the idea of basing it on the Greek (bronze) giant, Talos, created by Zeus to protect Europa and those He desired to protect out of love... It of course doesn't fit 100%, because they're meant to be golden, but the overall theme still fits!
