#danny phantom design

My very own take of danny phantom ✌️

I kinda get why nick wouldn't want him to be dead but the concept of danny actually half died really fascinates me, so much story potential there, this idea has been running in my for a while now

my main idea is that Danny didn't know that he was actually dead, he just believes that the portal just gave him ghost powers, and his physical body being weak and gets cold easily is just a side effect to it

slowly he'll realize that his actually dead and his physical body is just slowly deteriorating (kinda morbid lol)

danny is actually half dead, but he won't last long

I just went on a three hour research binge for my fic. Was the binge about Danny Phantom or the DCU? Y'know, the two fandoms in the fic???

Nope.

Apparently no one can agree on the symbolism of a cat skull, so we make up our own in this household :')

Cute lil final design for my Thief!Danny outfit for my fic. I ended up adding in lil glowing eyes buuuuttt.... I'm dumb and forgot to save after that LOL

I'll be doing more art for his design soon! I'm not the best with human anatomy (hi yes I'm a warrior cat kid) soooooo please be gentle <3

ok i had this i idea and dropped everything to draw it so here we go!! i was like, what if there was a space entity in the ghost zone like clockwork is for time and bam, this happened!! i think her name is penumbra and she’s like, chaos incarnate lmao

she def needs more work on her design but i like her !!!! p.s. her cloak is for sure a pocket dimension eeee

I have a lot of fun basically backwards engineering Danny’s look in Astral Chill with like geoecology and looking into the biology of cold acclimated animals. I figured out everything except the purpose for the white belt stripe, so the point he may just not have it.

However, it would be funny to just have a crescent on his back that makes a belt-like thing around his hips, someone asks what the fuck that is, and he just is like “it’s a D for Danny”.

No other explanation.

This is the identity reveal.

I was doodling in one of my classes and I remembered that someone asked questions about this AU design, so uh. Here are my random sketches that I then digitized in procreate and colored. Astral Chill Danny, who looks like an alien and scares people with it <3

The Phantom design I came up with for Astral Chill is one I'm really proud of, and I'll probably do another post about all the animals I was looking at, but I thought I should just go ahead and start off with one I think is a little obvious.

The best alien designs are ones designed for harsh environments, and I think that Danny would agree with that, so when he unknowingly modeled himself after the monsters in his favorite films, he became what would be an apex predator on another world. I pulled from aliens that I think a lot of us know and love-xenomorphs from Alien, which have so many subspecies that on my journey to make sure that Phantom isn't just a "xenomorph-like" I realized that most things I could try would end up looking like one and that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The main bit that the xenomorphs helped me with was figuring out if it's possible for him to move in three different ways on the ground depending on what he needs: quadroped, biped, and climbing with just his hands to take off for flight. I was also thinking about just how human he could look with such a long tail screwing up his posture.

I kept going back and forth in the planning phase figuring out if Phantom would be better quadropedal or bipedal, which would be more alien and frightening. Ultimately, I decided that since he's a ghost, he doesn't have to follow biological rules and he can switch between them whenever he wants. I keep emphasizing that he's gelatinous and boneless so that it makes some sense why he's able to break those rules. He can comfortably walk on his legs, move on his hands and feet, and just use his arms, all by choosing to and having his body accommodate that. It's the same with his size: his smallest would be around the size of a German Shepherd, while his largest could be a car. It depends on how much energy he has and if he's trying to look human or feels threatened. It's a safe bet that if he's with someone he trusts, like Tucker or Sam, he's just human sized, while his parents will make him much bigger.
