Ghost Zone Portal

Hey folks, Rook here! Welcome to the Danny Phantom fan reboot blog. Keep in mind this is mostly for fun and is nothing official. Check out the FAQ link for more information.

I want everyone to take a moment and imagine if danny’s human half aged but his ghost half didnt.

[catfilter-deactivated20191006]

#DANNY PHANTOM #AU #NOOOOOOOOOO EXCEPT THEN IT GETS REALLY SAD LATER ON #BECAUSE AS A HUMAN HE GETS OLDER AND OLDER AND OLDER AND FEEBLE AND FRAIL AND HE CAN’T MOVE AS QUICKLY AS HE USED TO#BUT PHANTOM IS YOUNG AND STRONG #AND HE’S BEEN A THREAT FOR DECADES #LIKE PHANTOM HAS PROTECTED THE TOWN AND HE MIGHT BE SMALL AND WIMPY LOOKING BUT HE’S STILL EFFECTIVE AT PROTECTING THE PEOPLE HE LOVES#SO OLDER FENTON GETS SUPER OLD AND HE CAN’T SEE AS WELL AND HE CAN’T PUT UP NEARLY AS MUCH OF A FIGHT #SO HE KEEPS SWITCHING INTO PHANTOM FORM #AND LIVING MORE AS A GHOST THAN A HUMAN #BECAUSE IT’S EASIER AND BETTER AND HE LIKES THE FEELING OF BEING YOUNG AND SPRIGHTLY AND BEING ABLE TO COMMAND ATTENTION AGAIN#AND I’VE DEFINITELY THOUGHT ABOUT THIS AU A LOT OKAY??? #BUT ASLKDFHLKSDH AT THE BEGINNING IT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS AND SAM AND TUCKER WOULD TEASE HIM EVERY SINGLE TIME#DUDE HOW WERE YOU EVER THAT SHRIMPY? XD

you know I just thought this was a funny concept and bit cute but somehow everything in this fandom can become angst

Until finally, his human form gets so weak that Danny decides it’s far less painful to live permanently as a ghost.

One day, after months of living as Phantom, Danny decides to switch back to his human form for a while. He can’t.

And he has no idea when exactly he died.

Danny’s Secret

A general consensus in the phandom is that everyone in Amity Park is an idiot for not figuring out Danny’s secret.

Up until I re-watched the show (for the third time…. don’t judge me), I thought so, too. I thought they were clueless because there have been scenes in which Phantom came crashing into the ground, and when the rubble cleared and the dust settled, out came Danny Fenton in questionable attire for the world to see. With this glaringly obvious setup, not one soul pieced together that Phantom and Fenton were one and the same person.

But another crucial piece of information we’re taking for granted is the very existence of half-ghosts. We know they exist because we’re watching the show. The people of Amity Park? They don’t know it’s physically possible. It’s not that they’re incapable of figuring which human in Amity Park is Phantom, they don’t think Phantom is any-part human: just a ghost that’s hiding in their humble little town.

If the show were to continue, Valerie just might’ve figured out Fenton and Phantom were one and the same because Dani Phantom to her was the first proof that a ghost/human hybrid was possible.

speaking of danny phantom imagine what a different show we would have had if vlad DIDN’T outright tell Danny about him being a ghost and knowing Danny is also a ghost

imagine what a different show we would have had if vlad’s attempts to recruit Danny were subtle, if Plasmius was still an undefined threat and not kooky cheese family friend with creeper crush on mom

I think about this a lot

[rook2pwn]

If the show were rebooted, I would really like to see it go that way! Just, Vlad is just some weird family friend who is weirdly mean to Jack, but friends do that all the time. Maybe, occasionally, Jack will throw it back to Vlad and they’ll laugh it off. Ya know like some friends do and his creeping on Maddie could be subtler, more looks and complements and the like. Things a teen wouldn’t be paying attention to.

Danny wouldn’t be picking up on the signals until it was entirely too late and even then, maybe, Vlad could twist his actions into being good intentions, moral grey areas. Like, “I didn’t know it was you and you weren’t listening to me. I didn’t mean to hurt or scare you.” and “I was trying to do the right thing” or “this is my plan Danny, help me accomplish it and you’ll see I’m right.” that sort of stuff. Manipulate him into believing he’s a good guy or into doing something bad. Because at that point, Danny would want to believe him, would want a mentor like Vlad, and in the end the discovery of betrayal, of manipulation would be doubly heartbreaking for Danny.

Hell, it might even be that breaking point that was missing from that last episode. The point were Danny tries to rid himself of his powers because he can’t deal with Vlad actually betraying him. From that point it’d be an uphill struggle to regain his confidence in his own judgement, confidence enough to fight back, to face Vlad head on. Slowly but surely Vlad starts to see things Danny’s way, how a child could constantly beat him and come up on top, how happy Maddie is with Jack, how for all his power he’s been blind to what he should have been doing in the first place. How he should have been gathering allies, not wealth and power. How he should have looked past his own ego and pain, moved beyond it.

Whether Danny and Vlad even make up, or even become tentative allies is up in the air, and in the end entirely up to Danny and the circumstances at hand.

Woo! First time taking internet commissions. I’m curious to see what I’ll get. A few quick things I forgot to add to the commission sheet; adding backgrounds is an additional $10 and another character is an additional $5.

Also as a last minuet addition I’m also willing to do some portrait/icon animation. Here’s an example:

This is, however, my most expensive commission and varies depending on length and complexity. The one above would be priced at around $200. I’m willing to take on a few if anyone is interested.

You can contact me here on tumblr or my e-mail: [email protected].

Feel free to ask me any questions to clarify anything.

[rookdoesart]

So my animation final is coming up and I’ve hit a little hitch. I need, or rather want pretty badly, a piece of music to go along with my animation. I’ve tried and failed to find a royalty free piece via the school resources that fits the same feeling as the music that I’ve been referencing while I’ve been animating, which is copyrighted. It’s a 1:30 animation about a hunter chasing a monster through a post-apocalyptic/abandoned city. Time not including the credits. If you or someone you know can do an instrumental piece or two, digital or otherwise, within a month that fits the timing please contact me. You’ll compensated with credit and if need be money. I can’t pay a lot but I can pay you something. You can view the newest reel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRa4NGL1SXM It’s in rough animation now and I’m in the process of cleaning up at the moment. So I’ll be updating periodically. Again if you know how to do music or know somebody who does and you are interested, please contact me.

[ghostzoneportal]

I know this technically doesn't belong in my DP blog but if there's anybody in the fandom who could help me out that'd be wonderful.

[ghostzoneportal]

An update of the “I’m a whiz at dodgeball” gif I’ve been working on. In which I begin clean up and realize I don’t have a character model sheet to work off. So ridiculous model breaks everywhere. Thankfully it’s small enough that it doesn’t look horrendous. I’ll be cleaning up Dash next now that his animation is better looking than before and the impact of the ball is more forceful. I might be able to finish this once I graduate.

Ghost Classification: Spirits

Or basic ghosts, are in biological terms the progenitors of many the various ghosts both seen and unseen. Many ghosts start as these amorphous blobs of ectoplasm, a bundle of energy and emotions. While most are harmless, they do often cannibalize each other if there is a lack of resources or if those emotions are violent enough. Being as weak as they are, these small ghosts often remain unseen outside the Ghost Zone and will disappear all together if they do not return to the Ghost Zone or find a consistent source of ecto-radiation.

Ecto-radiation being a common energy naturally released from bigger ghosts, these spirits tend to hover around them absorbing the extra energy. Much like small fish to sharks or small birds to rhinos, the relationship is beneficial to both parties. As too much ecto-radiation not only attracts bigger ghosts but could be detrimental to the stability of the ghost in question.

I’m starting to think these ghost classification things should be for the GIW or a past ghost hunter or something. Anyway, I’ve seen a lot of people talk about smaller ghost hanging around Danny. So I figured I’d build on that. These little guys are probably the ones that blamed for the creaking in old houses and the like.

Ghost Classification: Thought Form

Thought Forms, are in the simplest terms, exactly as they sound. They are ghosts created by thoughts of the dead who died sudden and violently. This is common enough for ghosts, but what sets these creatures a part is the matter that they aren't a singular entity. Rather they are the culmination of multiple deaths. They are creatures of great tragedy, where by nature or by the hand of man. It's notable that other ghosts tend to steer clear of them. As they are a collection of thoughts, they are rather unstable, known to lash out and consume anything that comes within their mangled reach.

So this happened during the stream. Nobody showed up but I decided to expand on a design that showed up in one of my previous concept pics. Might be a little to heavy for the reboot but they might make a background appearance.

"Welcome to the Ghost Zone, child"

Hollow eyes watched him, the empty sockets red and raw. It's hands reached out to grab him, looking to crush the intruder. What in the world had he just awoken?

A little something I did when I should have been working on other things. It's been a while since I've drawn or written anything Danny Phantom related.

[thickerthanectoplasm]

Man I wanna host a reanimating project for the first ep of Danny Phantom but I doubt there’s enough animators interested in the show still to pull it off uAu

[ghostzoneportal]

Yo, animator here. I’ve discussed this with some of my friends a while before. Four of us are animators and one is an illustrator with some animation skill. I’m willing to teach anybody interested once I’ve graduated, which is when the summer starts. A short that is less than 5 minuets won’t need as many people as an a full animated tv episode. I’m thinking about tackling the writing during spring break. If you’re interested, I’m interested.

[ghostzoneportal]

A handful of people is all that's really needed for a fan animation that's 5 or less minuets. The animated music video Ghost was made by about 7 people, Silly Filly Studios is also a small group of people, Frederator is fairly small and numerous other short animations/animation studios work with at max 30 people at minimum 2. It's not a matter of the amount of people, though that is important to the speed at which this would be made, it's a matter of patience, persistence, and skill. And it's that, that I'm worried about. For the moment this its all generally unknown about who's able to work in not only a dependable bases but where everybody would be skill wise.

Which is why I'd like to offer up my own skill and input to those who don't really have experience in not only in animating, as animation in an of itself is only part of it, but the production process of animation. Granted I'm only now graduating and I have no payed experience but I've got personal experience working on my own and with small groups. The skills I would probably end up talking about/demoing would include script writing, character designs and turn arounds/model sheets, layouts and storyboards, rough animation, clean up, backgrounds, camera angles and movements, so on and so forth. 

It would be a rough, boot camp like learning experience to be honest. I've never taught before, might end up having some friends help me out in places where I'm less informed, and it'd really be dependent on where everybody is at. But if there are people willing to put in the time to learn, I'm willing to teach.

As for the actual production of the animation, there would have to be a consensus on what we're doing, the style we're working with, and the scope in which we're working. Obviously we can't recreate that first episode verbatim, as that would definitely be copy right infringement. So another route would have to be proposed and planned. Hence why I suggested 5 minuets or less, as that would laser focus our story and scope. You can get burn out real quick on something 20 minuets long but not so much 5. The hierarchy of who does what would also have to be planned; producer(s), director(s), key frame animators, inbetween animators, sound and music, background artists, storyboard and layout artists, character designers, script writer, and anyone else I may have forgotten. A lot of these can overlap, again, based on where everybody is at.

There's a lot going into working on animation but I'm certain it can be done with the right people.

[onesentencemusings]

I never understood why pulling Danny Phantom out of Danny Fenton would help anything in TUE. It wasn’t Phantom’s fault the explosion happened so removing Phantom wouldn’t have helped Fenton at all. Not to mention it wouldn’t be any means bring Fenton’s family back.

And what was Phantom supposed to do with his life after losing his human half? Just fly back to Amity Park and keep being a hero? Why would he care about humans? He’s not one of them anymore.

I’m thinking about this too much.

[ghostzoneportal]

Remember that episode where Danny got split in two and we got to see the two important sides of him, the "Fun Danny" and the "Responsible/Heroic Danny"? Well one could easily infer that Danny was trying to become his "fun" self again. He wanted to be the one who didn't care, who was so apathetic to the world's problems that all that guilt, all that responsibility probably would have landed on Phantom and given him some iota of peace.

In Danny's head it probably was along the lines of "I should have been there, I could have save them, if I hadn't done what I did they would have lived...It's all my fault, all my fault" and him, being a teenager who is not in the right state of mind to make any rash decisions *glares at Vlad* decided that all those thoughts must be from his heroic, responsible side. You get rid of that you get rid of the problem. He probably didn't care what Phantom did after that. He just wanted peace.

Obviously he didn't account for the anger, hate, and self-loathing that went with all that guilt when Phantom was ripped out of him. Didn't think it would result in a fusion of his and Vlad ghost halves or the death of his human self. Then again the kid was probably manic depressive, if not bordering, and he probably wasn't thinking that far ahead.

Okay, so you know how Danny says the quote above? Well, I was all, what if there was a scene about this in the show?

Well, there’s not.

So. My task for you followers or anyone else who finds this: make a comic or fanfic for this. Please.

This is too…

This is too cute, like Dash and Danny are the only ones left on both teams and Danny will not get hit and Dash will not get hit and it’s just a never ending sequence of dodging and throwing. 

[rook2pwn]

Can the game go/end something like this?

[ghostzoneportal]

Guess who actually decided to animate this with the characters?!

This chick! It's in roughs right now but I've been using it as a warm up/practice in the mornings. The original gif was actually about twice the frames I'm using in the animation and the camera was pretty shakey. So far though it's turning out pretty good and just about ready for clean up.
