Other notes: Firstly. Bruh. Why did they Mike Wazowski poor Honda?! Show the man some respect! Secondly, this is an interesting case. Even though the game is titled Duel Monsters and features characters from the DM anime, as you can see, all the artwork is from the Toei anime. Given that the anime ran from April to December 1998 and the game was released in December 1998, I'm guessing they possibly tried to ride the wave of the Toei anime to draw attention to the game. Maybe? Just wild speculation on my part, to be honest. More info on the game itself can be found on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki, including on how the game works.
PLEASE DON'T DELETE THE ABOVE COMMENTARY!
Just something small,, the lil shit himself,, Weevil!! My design interpretation of him isn’t too much different from his canon design,, but I made his irises take up 90% of his eye n tiny lil pupils like a BUG 😍 I had a praying mantis in mind bc yknow their eyes are all green n then the tiny lil black pupils yea I was like WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN 🦅🦅 anyways he should EXPLODE
I forgot to color the beetle bridge of his glasses uH just pretend it’s colored ty <3
Found a weird ass bug. He looks like he bites, idk
Random tidbits under the readmore
Rex is (loosely) based on a tiger shark. Lost a chunk of his fluke in a fight
Rex has an entire little treasure trove of mostly bones and shark teeth. He fashioned a bone into an "earring", and bled for a good few hours as a result. Also still has a fascination with dinosaurs, especially aquatic ones.
Weevil... can't swim. He usually has to be held up or dragged around in the water. No survival instincts whatsoever
