>>37077713i'll admit that lordknightmon x's design is extremely busy, but something about it just works for me. the rose-shaped shield and "thorny" armor are a cool nod to how vanilla lordknightmon is usually depicted holding a rose (see pic related). it's quickly become one of my favorite digimon designs.
i agree on not liking pokemon's chibi models. i'm not sure why, but they just don't look right to me. the soulless blank stares sure don't help.
