OV Ultimate: Swampfire by Insane-Mane on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Been really out of the groove, dealing with personal IRL problems as well as a wonky tablet, hopefully I can still try to get some ideas out of my head here and there. Haven't done an ultimate in a while, and since I don't feel like they were my strong suit in the past, decided to redo an oldie, Ultimate Swampfire.

Ult Swampy has always been an interesting one, and I certainly feel like my last interpretation needed way more fine tuning. Here, I've taken some key elements from old concept art and put them together to create, what I think, would make for an interesting OV design. Hopefully it's not too cluttered, I removed certain elements that I thought made him way too mutated (something I think would fit better if I was specifically doing a design modeled for Albedo). Speaking of which, I may take the ultimates we actually saw in canon and try to tone them down to where they're not as monstrous, since that's how they specifically did that to make them look visually interesting. Hopefully I can still manage that without dumbing them down, it should be a neat challenge!
