When it comes to Digimon, fans are never ready to give the series up. Time and time again, fans of the series have lifted up the DigiDestined through new anime series, films, and more. Most recently, a film trilogy brought the original Digimon crew back together as high schoolers to tackle a crisis, and they will return in another film before long. And thanks to one artist, fans have gotten a look at how Digimon might look in real life.
Taking to Instagram, an artist called George Evangelista shared some new artwork of theirs with anime fans. They decided to do a Digimon piece which imagines one of the series' most terrifying creatures in all its live-action terror.
As you can see below, the artwork Evangelista did is of Weregarumon. The digital painting is blurred around the edges to signal the Digimon's insane speed, and fans admit the lumbering creature looks downright horrifying in real life.
"Another Digimon piece that I just finished today. This time it's Weregarurumon," the artist captioned the photo, and fans were quick to praise his style. After all, the Digimon is a favorite amongst fans, and they wondered how Matt might react to this live-action form. After all, the DigiDestined kid had his own Garumon and would evolve the creature often in battle. However, none of its digivolutions are more intimidating than Weregarumon, and this stunning digital painting proves an actual live-action take on Digimon would be all sorts of frightening.
So, do you think Digimon would do well as a live-action property? Let me know in the comments or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB to talk all things comics and anime!
