Here he is! DILF Father of the year! These were a lot of fun to work on, and it felt really good to FINALLY work on my au Vlad. As always, design notes will be under the cut. I really do appreciate the amount of support I've gotten from doing these redesigns, and I'm so motivated to work on more!

Masters So for this look, I wanted to go more casual and approachable for Vlad since I also had my False Mentor (name subject to change) au in mind while I was working on it. Plus I knew I was going to draw him in a suit for the au look, so I wanted to show more range in his designs. I gave him more volume in his hair because it's just more fun to draw really. I also gave him a subtle Packers sweater to nod to that about him.
Plasmius OH BOY I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THIS ONE!!!!!!! I did something like this a while ago, but wasn't entirely satisfied with it as time passed. I really leaned into that vampire aesthetic by using Viago from What We Do In The Shadows as a main source of inspiration. The jabot and epaulettes gave me a little trouble at first, but I kept working at them and I think they ended up looking great! I also nixed his gloves and gave him the cool gradient on his fingers. I'm so in love with this design and how camp it is and how it's just so VLAD.
False Mentor Again, name subject to change, but this is my design of a version of Vlad that he presents when he first reveals to Danny that he's also half ghost. It's really just a palette swap of his in-show design with a few of my own personal touches. I made his skin more tan like I did with Danny's ghost form to imply that he was also burned a bit when his portal accident happened. Actually all of the colors except for his skin tone are lifted from Danny's ghost palette. You know how some shapeshifters can only turn into things that they've seen? That's what I was thinking with this ghost Vlad's colors. He just met the only other halfa, AND he's Jack's son, so he wants to make himself look like how he thinks Danny would expect him to look. It's that familiarity that adds to what Danny latches onto in this au. Of course, Vlad wouldn't be caught DEAD in coveralls. He has standards.

Redesign reference: "Phantom"
Presenting my redesign of Phantom, drawn by the amazingly talented evansdaemon!
Update: they now have a Tumblr @evansdaemon !
So let's get straight to it!
-Rather than getting tanner as Phantom, Danny's skin is a sort of blue gray. It's not as pronounced as Vlad's, but I like the idea of the blue tint being something they have in common.
-Green iris, yellowish scalera.
-My Danny didn't actually go into the portal in hazmat, just his street clothes- so this isn't Phantom's default look, just his ghost busting get up. This is what he looks like when he's not actively superhero-ing. Anyway, Evan did an absolutely wonderful job making it look less skin tight and more hazmat-y. They also seem to have snuck in a little bit of a galaxy pattern and I friggin love it!!
-Danny doesn’t have the logo until he’s established himself as a known vigilante. Sam still designs it for him, but it’s not a sticker, Danny is just able to manipulate his appearance to add it. His hoodie gets a logo change, too.
-A ghost’s appearance is often a reflection of how they view themselves, So once Danny has started taking the superhero thing seriously, he adjusts accordingly, hence the addition of the logo.
-The hazmat also gets padding in the knees and elbows, this is something Danny does subconsciously after fighting ghosts for a while, and it does help minimize injury, to an extent.
-The Fenton phones, along with his thermos and hip holster, are a near constant accessory. They're used to keep in touch with Sam and Tucker during planned patrols.
-As Phantom Danny has glowing green Lichtenberg figures! They’re not visible under most circumstance since they’re mostly centered on his back and arms, and thus covered, but they are there, and can be seen from time to time.
-His ears are tapered/pointy, and prehensile to the extent that he can sorta swivel and twitch them. 
-FANGS (“standard” set, sharpened lateral incisors on top row, and canines on the bottom) 
-Retractable claws. They grow out a dark green, almost black color. they’re very sharp, and thick, not easily cut, filed, or broken. He’ll eventually wind up making the gloves fingerless because of them.
-Normally, Danny doesn’t have any of these features in human form unless he chooses to, but sometimes they slip out when he’s angry or other wise overwhelmed emotionally.
GHOSTLY ABILITIES: 
Going ghost: Might not seem like something of note, just because of how obvious it is, but along with going from human to ghost, The white transformation wings can also be weaponized, as the let out a sort of energy pulse that can repel enemies. 
It also fucks with nearby electronics, and causes Tucker So Much Grief.
Ghost sense: Since I decided on swapping Danny's ice powers for electrical ones, the ghost sense is no longer visible as an icy breath. When Danny senses another ghost it’s more in line with a static shock, like when you rub your socks on carpet and then touch a door knob. 
Standard ghost powers include; intangibility, invisibility, and flight/levitation. That last one can also be used to walk on walls and ceilings or just glide across the floor like an ice skater. 
Danny has two variations of ecto-blasts:  
-The first of which is just green ectoplasmic energy, and the second being ecto-energy charged with electricity. 
-Danny has the ability to conduct and manipulate electricity due to the nature of how he “died” and the charged ecto-blasts are an extension of that. 
Ectoplasmic constructs: shapes made of ectoplasm, usually shields or other barriers, but this ability can also be used to form things temporarily like ropes or weaponry.
Energy reflection and absorption: self explanatory, this is either used in the form or a shield that will redirect an enemy attack, or to absorb the energy from said attack and throw it behind one of his own. 
Ghostly wail: Same as in canon, with the addition of being able to interfere with technology, causing massive power outages and effectively frying any electrical appliances.
Echo location: a combination of the ghost sense and aspect of the ghostly wail used to locate another ghosts exact location. Like how a bat uses vibrations. 
Voice manipulation: The ability to make his voice echo or sound other-wise distorted. 
Telekinesis: why the fuck did we only see him use this power ONCE? to move a fucking rake?? he can levitate shit c’mon. Ya bois part poltergeist. 
Exorcism: The ability to knock another ghost out of a possessed person. Due to the fact that Danny has an actual living body he cannot overshadow or posses people….and he himself is still suspectable to possession. He has more of a chance to fight off a ghost than the average person, however. Were Danny to get possessed, his ghost half would get knocked out of his body ala gravity falls sock opera style. 
Ghost-tail: When flying at high speeds Danny’s legs shift to a ghostly tail. He can also consciously choose to shift to a tail at any other given time. Although sometimes it just happens when he gets excited. He'll start flicking it around like a cat and he doesn't even realize half the time.
Death throes: Most ghosts have the ability to channel the cause of their death. Danny’s ability to manipulate electricity is an extension of his death thoe. When fully activated he appears as he did in the moment of his “death.” The Hazmat suit takes on inverted colors, and Danny’s body is lit up in an electric green aura, with his skeleton becoming visible. He is highly unstable in this state, as he feels the pain of electrocution the entire time. All of his powers are heightened in this state, and his body crackles with a continuous electrical charge. 
Ghost-portal manipulation: Like Wulf, Danny can use his claws to open and close portals into the ghost zone, this is also an extension of his death throe.
Danny has a lot of other less noticeable abilities that he can use in human form:
-Accelerated healing, injuries heal a great deal faster than the average human.
-Enhanced durability, can take hits that would seriously injure the average human being 
-Hyper-metabolism
-Enhanced speed, strength, agility, reflexes, stamina, and balance 
-In ghost form, A lot of Danny’s bodily functions slow, allowing him to survive for minutes at a time without oxygen, (or even longer, if he's in the Ghost Zone) and for long periods without food, water or sleep. 
in human form Danny's powers are limited to invisibility and intangibility. He's too heavy for flight without all the Ectoplasm flooding his body, and while he can form ectoblasts he can't really control them enough do anything but burn his hands.
