Looking at the toy I got out of a blind bag a while back reminded me despite liking Gabumon I don't believe I've ever drawn them before. I think as a child I was intimidated by all those markings.
Also yes I'm still alive I just have been very busy with life as of late so I haven't been drawing at all :,). I've only started to get back to it. This was just kinda a quick warmup experiment I did where I messed a bit with shading.

This is really cool, I like how you made him look both goofier and more monstrous than the official design. I think your rendition is an improvement on the original to be honest! Nice work on the pose too.
