Description

For :iconmeeshi: Design a Byte Tamer contest!

Here she is, Maerilin Squire. For team Metal(?)
Combo: Weld, Cyber and Aero.

Kinda doodled then lined and colored a possible byte for her because I enjoyed making her knight/steampunk outfit so much.
His name is Scooter, but I'm not sure if I like his design or not. xp

Here's Meeshi's contest. [link] Hope my design is alright. >.>

Cool entry. I really like the simple design of the Byte, it gives him more room for growth as he 'evolves' through the various Byte levels. His armored parts' similarities to his tamer's strengthens the idea that they're partners. Scooters not so cute reptilian features matches quite well with Maerilin's Medieval Knight aesthetic, which if I recall correctly in those days, dragons were often depicted as a lot more vile and scary than as they are now. (something like demonic pests? Though, I maybe wrong on that point.)

I guess the bouncing head look, makes him appear pretty babylevel Digimon esque.(But mon-show designs tend to sometimes overlap anyway so :shrug: ) I guess the limbless-ness may also contradict some in-story moves/attacks. Since some of them clearly mention fists, but maybe Bytes with different kinds of anatomy, do something else in place of fists to compensate? Well, whatever you decide with Scooter, best of luck on his design completion.

I also like the knight-angle/direction of Maerilin's armor, the asymmetrical look given by the way the metal and leather are arranged gives her a very and unique look. I especially like that steel skirt thing around her waist(now sure what this would be called) and that semi futuristic helmet.
