#fanart #danny phantom #sam manson #danny fenton #amethyst ocean #colored pencil #pencil #sketchy comic #gotta chase away all that fear and doubt with reassuring kisses #love melodramtic romantic hero speeches and Danny is definitely the type to make them even if he doesnt always believe in himself #having promises to keep is how he has faith he'll overcome anything because how could he let Sam down when she always believes in him #anyway have some indulgent shipping art because I've been feeling sappy lately

what made you start shipping danny and sam? and what about them has kept you shipping them through the years?

It may not be a popular opinion in the current state of this fandom but the main reason I ship Danny and Sam is because it's very apparent in the story that the main romance in Danny Phantom was always going to be about the two of them. It's predictable and maybe even a little cliche, but I'm a sucker for friends to lovers, especially when two friends share an unbreakable bond built on trust and loyalty that can weather any storm. When it comes to romance I prefer the story do most of the heavy lifting in developing the romantic pairing, which the series does do with Danny and Sam. They're close longtime friends, they confide in each other about their deep secrets and fears, they have a similar sense of humor and attitude, they're supportive of one another but are also not afraid to challenge each other. Of course the writing could've been better and more consistent but I find the foundational dynamics between Danny and Sam to be super duper adorable and very solid. The mutual denial and the affection, the comfort and the strife they bring to each other's lives, all that makes for a goldmine full of story potential. There's a lot of complexity between them to play with and a lot implied about their relationship as friends and as lovers, it's really just a shame their romance wasn't paced well so that it could've been embellished properly.

But I still love them after all these years because Danny and Sam are my top two favorite characters from the series. I love their designs, their voice actors, and their personalities. They make a great match and I will ship them forever.

#amethystocean trash 4ever #but seriously i love the whole vibe of a goth and ghost being in love its cute and spooky and makes perfect sense #sam being danny's moral compass is a little obnoxious but it is sweet that he needs her to balance him and keep him honest #she needs him too because it seems he brings a light to her life that drives her confidence and gives her hope #i just love that they bring out the best in each other its a good superhero style romance with the whole 'stronger together' vibe they got

You're still all that matters to me rough sketches

#fanart #danny phantom #sam manson #danny fenton #amethyst ocean #pencil #colored pencil #sketch #i love making sketchsheets it's so fun to make a bunch of mini illustrations #idk how you guys read these but most of the drawings are standalone ideas though some are directly related to the same 'story'#each sketchsheet has its own theme and all the drawings share that overall thematic vibe #anyway here's one full of fluffy angst or is it angsty fluff

i dont know if anyone has ever asked before, but do you have a commission page? im sure lots of people would like them!

First of all this is such a nice thing to say, thank you for your interest, it's quite the compliment!

As far as commissions and this account are concerned there's several logistical reasons I haven't opened comms online. Mostly, I'm old school and am more comfortable freelancing for contacts/businesses I can have irl interaction with in some capacity. It's just easier that way and in a world of online scams it's less of a headache. If I ever open commissions here it will be very easy to find so you'll know when I change my mind. That being said, there are two major reasons I'd still be hesitant to sell fanart commissions.

The most pressing one is that profiting off of fanart without permissions/licensing is a violation of copyright law. I know people get away with it, companies/creators can be lax and look the other way, but it's a legal gray zone I'm not personally eager to wade into. I'd rather just hang out in the Fair Use realm when it comes to established IP. My other big reason is that I like to keep fanart separate from work, when I make it I'm mostly exercising my creativity by playing around with materials/ideas. It's fun and stress free. None of my fanart is 100% polished work, I'm playing fast and loose and I don't worry about imperfections in the things I post here. DP is pure nostalgia for me, it reminds me of my teen years in old school fandoms (amvs, livejournal, forums, ff.net, aim chatrooms were all my jam and I miss it) I like to keep fanart fun and nostalgic with no pressure and I think turning it into another job would kill some of the whimsy for me.

If you like my work and wanna support it then just let me know what you think! Interaction isn't my sole reason for posting but it definitely helps my motivation to know people are getting something out of my ideas and want to engage with my art. I believe in being polite and respectful and always try to be reasonably responsive to comments and asks. Fandom is best when likeminded strangers can have friendly geek-outs over shared interests, I just love getting feedback and hearing other people's ideas and being asked to share my own. While I don't take direct and specific requests, I have definitely been inspired to make art pieces because of conversations I've had with fellow fans, it's no guarantee but it does happen. Of course I know it's not the same as getting a commission but that's how I roll.

#commission/request faq #kinda long response here but I think it covers what I'm all about on this fanart blog #tldr: i dont take fanart commissions but like or comment on the art i do make/post if you wanna see more like it!
