So recently I took a bunch of screenshots of the book about the Fright Knight since I'm thinking of experimenting with this illustrated/sketch look and wondered what it would look like with his canon coloring. Might have gotten a little carried away but I really like how my first kinda-sorta-drawing of 2024 turned out!
P.S. It's my birthday today! Woohoo! I leveled up!

Came across your written works account on Fanfiction.net and would you believe my surprise that you had recently wrote!! There are a few good Danny Phantom enthusiasts who are active and continue with their work. Thank you so much!! I hope you still continue. God bless
Thank you anon! I'm glad you got to see my stories and enjoyed them! Actually its funny you should mention them because I'm actually working on touching up one of those fanfics called "Nowhere To Run" so I can eventually get back to working on new chapters for the sequel "Turning Point." I also have a tumblr dedicated purely to the Danny Phantom stuff if you're interested in taking a look! Got a discord server too called Spirit Flame!

Danny Phantom Randomness (Principal Masters)
Tumblr media
Not sure if this idea has been used in the phandom before, probably not since it’s a pretty common for the principal of a school in a cartoon to be the antagonist in some way, but I thought I’d share it anyways. So here’s what I’m thinking. Personally I think it would have made a lot more sense for Vlad to switch tactics and double down on trying to win Danny over instead of going full cookie-cutter-bad-guy-that-wants-to-rule-the-world after cloning him failed which would make him realize that his little badger really is one of a kind and what he has can’t be replicated.
Up until this point Vlad’s been making Danny’s life more difficult instead of easier which was his whole sales pitch when they first met...
Vlad: Daniel, stop. Think about the things I could show you, the doors I could open for you. You, Danny Phantom, and I, Vlad Plasmius. Together, we could rule.
Then there’s these comments Vlad made to Danny in Reign Storm...
Vlad: Sneak attack, very good, Daniel.You're getting more like me with every battle.
Danny: I AM NOTHING LIKE YOU!
Vlad: Oh, you're not? Using your powers to get back at people you don't like? Throwing the first punch? You're more like me than you know.
I’m so disappointed this didn’t develop into something more interesting where Danny starts to genuinely worry he’s becoming too much like Vlad which would have made the events of The Ultimate Enemy twice as cool because it’d be like a glimpse of that reality where he’d actually become worse than Vlad. But, back to the topic at hand! I’ve mentioned this in a few of my fanfics but I think the whole cloning thing was more of a desperate attempt to get Danny on his side since Vlad never really made any serious attempts to tempt him to join willingly and just spent the whole time bashing Jack and telling Danny he’d be a better father.
With that in mind, rather than being a petty rich bully after Danny gets Vlad’s mansion destroyed in Season 3 what if Vlad decided to put his foot down to “re-educate” him so to speak? What I mean by that is instead of running for Mayor of Amity Park, why didn’t Vlad try to replace the principal of Casper High? For one thing it would have ACTUALLY made sense because the position doesn’t require living somewhere for more than 6 months and its purely based on their education and teaching experience. And I think overshadowing the right people on a smaller scale would make it more believable than the whole Mayor thing.
Vlad could of course still be a jerk about a lot of things to get back at Danny like force the whole dress code thing, however, it would have been an interesting twist if when Danny comes to Vlad to apologize and ask for a truce he graciously accepts which totally throws Danny for a loop. Why? Because that was the plan all along! Vlad wanted Danny to learn there are consequences to his actions, realized that fighting him is counterproductive, and on top of that, to actually show how much easier he could make Danny’s life by letting him become a part of it.
Honestly, I absolutely love the idea of him unexpectedly becoming the cranky overprotective type kind of like what you see in this amazing comic strip by @lilianade-comics​: https://www.tumblr.com/lilianade-comics/703807353584320512/aw-man-dont-you-hate-it-when-your-arch-enemy?source=share
Think about it. If Vlad started to make Jack look bad without actively insulting him to make Danny finally get fed up with being hunted by his parents to the point where he’d reluctantly go there just to catch his breath once the two of them agree to a cease fire. Trouble with the high school bullies? In comes Uncle Vlad who happens to be the richest man in the world and a close personal friend of the Fenton family so Danny’s off limits. Ghost attack? Vlad helps cover up Danny disappearing to fight them or even scares them off if he has an important test that day. The list goes on on what Vlad could do to either make Danny’s life a living hell in a more personalized way by invading his school life or a lot better depending on their interactions at Casper High.
Long story short its basically using the idea that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar and all that so seeing Vlad gradually start doing nice things for Danny from time to time might help change his tune. Because deep down Danny DOES want to learn more about being half-ghost, but he refuses to accept Vlad’s offer to join him because he hasn’t really done anything to make it appealing. Vlad’s always insulting Danny and his father so if you ask me, giving him the praise he doesn’t get at home or at school could change so much between them...
Vlad’s just gotta be smarter about it.
Obviously Danny would be suspicious if Vlad started acting too nice to him right away so the changes would be gradual. And whenever he goes to Vlad for help or at the very least asks if he’ll cut him some slack Vlad will reward him for coming to him first. Especially because unlike his parents, Vlad knows exactly how much he’s dealing with and I’d love it if what started off as a plan to manipulate Danny transformed into an actual student and mentor relationship leading into a redemption arc instead of whatever Season 3 was.
And there you have it. Principal Masters AU anyone?

I made some slight changes to the color scheme but for the most part it looks pretty much canon. I just didn't want to use too bright of a green for the skin. Lastly I used a lot more markers as opposed to colored pencils and it turned out a lot better than I expected!

I accidentally saved over the version of this project with wings and didn't feel like redrawing them all over again so hopefully this is just as good! This is supposed to give off a feeling of sinking into a sea of darkness where eventually all light fades away the deeper you go into the oldest sections of the Ghost Zone, even your ghostly aura.

I'm still planning to redraw this again from scratch to add in a few more details (things like adding the rest of the spectral tail like I did for this) but for now straightening out the original outline and such already helps a lot. I wanted to make sure I picked a good ghostly glow color too since I couldn't add that before in colored pencil. Kinda just figuring things out for later honestly. Oh and btw I did manage to track down some of my art so I might start redrawing/updating some of my older artwork too or use them for inspiration for something new.

Wow, it sure feels great making digital artwork again! I was trying to decide what to make first when I remembered the recent Wulf concept sketches I drew so here you go! An AU version of him with a few minor changes that still sticks to the canon version fairly closely. I'm just not a fan of his retractable claws since that feels like more of a cat thing, not wolves.

It’s kinda nice putting them side by side to compare the various Eldritch AU versions I’ve made so far of some of the more powerful ghosts in the show. First we have Nocturne which like many of us like giving more of an owl-like appearance. Then there’s Undergrowth who I made look more like an ancient Druid/Forest Spirit. And next we have Frostbite with a sort of snow wizard look I guess? And more recently of course I added Clockwork with a look based on the sands of time and sundials.
I definitely want to draw more Eldritch AU ghosts/spirits of course but who knows, maybe I’ll make a few oc’s too to cover some of the other powers or elements we didn’t see much in the show. But for now here’s what I have and I’ll be posting a poll next to ask for some suggestions on who to draw next!

This isn't perfect but I wanted to experiment with a sort of memory collage of different drawings. What do you think, is it alright even though I couldn't fit a picture into every section?

Forgot to post this sooner but hey, better late than never! These are updated versions of the classic main cast and I think they turned out great! Especially Vlad since I struggled getting his feet right the first time around, weird problem to have I know but they're so skinny in the show! XD

Regarding Fanfiction...
Ok so to those of you who also use Fanfiction.net I'm sure you're aware of how buggy its been over the years and how especially bad it's been acting up since the middle of September. Now, I've been writing fanfiction since high school which means one of the main things that's kept me there so long is the familiarity along with liking the overall setup when it comes to posting new chapters. But it's been 13 years now and the site just feels, well, broken...
That's why I've decided to start migrating my work to AO3 too! It's going to be a big change for me since I'm not used to the set up, however, I'm hoping to gain a few new readers who haven't come across my work yet! I'm still planning to upload content on both fanfiction sites but updates might be slower on the AO3 end until I get the hang of everything. Plus I'm going to be leaving a few stories alone that I either plan to touch up later or are on an indefinite hiatus, mostly just the older stuff from my last major hyper-fixation lolz.
So yeah, on AO3 I'm under the name SecretSigil to make things easier on myself since that's my main username on most platforms and my plan is to consolidate my Danny Phantom fanfics in one place instead of two like I've been doing up until now. Might take some time though since I can't import the documents directly but hey, at least I have backups of everything so it shouldn't be too hard to make the move! Wish me luck as I start working on that in the upcoming new year!

This is something that always bugged me, because for someone who claims to like Danny with or without his ghost powers...Sam has a tendency to have a lot of double standards. I mean, both times Danny gave up his powers for one reason or another Sam either avoided the “overly heroic” side of him like the plague -which ok I’ll admit was pretty over the top- then she got all butt-hurt that Danny threw himself into the freaking ghost portal again and zapped himself to supposedly get rid of his powers since he saw it as the only way to have a ‘normal life’ again when it seemed like nobody wanted or needed Danny Phantom around anymore and he lost his purpose.
Translation, I can only excuse so much of it because they’re kids when their characters are already shown to be written a certain way when it comes to their personalities and moral compass.
Like, when Vlad replaced him with another group of ghost hunters and Danny felt like he had completely and truly lost his place in the world that’s when he decided his powers didn’t make him happy anymore. And frankly, this has probably been building up for a while once it seemed like being half ghost only started causing them all MORE problems and stressing him out either because Sam and Tucker would either get jealous of him, downplay how dangerous his powers can be, ask Danny to use them for their benefit (especially Sam) and without much consideration both of them would scold Danny for using his powers ‘for the wrong reasons’ to pull some harmless pranks or expect too much of him when they don’t have the slightest clue how much he dealt with on a day to day basic because of ghosts, his parents, and bullies...
Poor Danny could literally never catch a break since he has to deal with all of those things no matter where he goes!
School: Bullies and ghosts, sometimes his parents if they get called in.
Nasty Burger, the mall, or other hang outs: Bullies and ghosts.
Home: His parents and ghosts, and on top of that worrying about dangerous inventions that could expose, kill, or badly hurt him.
His friend’s houses: Ghosts, his friends jealousy and/or peer pressure, and Sam’s super judgemental parents.
To be fair, before the series finale Danny had really come into his own so for the most part those problems weren’t as intense as they were in the beginning. Except for his parents, their inventions can still be dangerous. That said, when Danny gave up his powers the second time he was actually at a really really low point. He genuinely felt really worthless after he kept losing to Vlad and his new ghost hunters time and time again, but at least at first Danny tried to make the most of it for the sake of his friends and families. After making a fool of himself so many times and feeling like all his hard work had gone up in smoke, Danny gave up and decided he just wanted to feel like a normal kid again.
He wanted to just be Danny Fenton again dealing with normal teen problems, not constant life-threatening situations. But like I said earlier, while I still believe he went about it the wrong way, knowing Danny the way I do I think he would NEVER have jumped into the portal again because if he’s smart enough to know that if he was wrong about what it would do to him when he’s already half ghost he could have accidentally become a full ghost which there would be no coming back from. And don’t get me wrong, I do get Sam’s point of view to an extent since giving up his powers like that in the heat of the moment could have been life-threatening, I just don’t appreciate how they acted like it was the end of the world (which is a little ironic since it almost WAS because of Vlad.)
Anyways, in my eyes it’s not selfish to put your own needs first sometimes because it’s possible to give too much of your time and effort into taking care of others to the point where it feels like there’s nothing left for yourself. As his friends, they should have respected his decision (as terrible as it was) and been infinitely more concerned about Danny willingly hurting himself like that. It’s not like Danny to be THAT reckless and they should have stopped him and talked things out from there.
If they worked through how he was feeling together I think Danny could have found other ways to use his ghost powers to help people in a meaningful way, or more importantly come up with a plan to expose Vlad for taking advantage of everyone since he was making people PAY for the service of Masters Blasters which don’t even get me started on that because what part of he’s already the RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD did Butch not understand? Seriously, Vlad holding the world for ransom and exposing his secret without some kind of fail-safe plan in place felt so out of character for him too.
All I’m saying is I wish Sam would have been written as the more supportive version from the 1st two seasons, not whatever she was here.
(Note: So yeah, this has been sitting in my drafts for a while and wanted to tidy up a bit so I thought I’d finally go ahead and finish it then send my thoughts out into the world. It’s honestly more of a rant but meh, feel free to take from it what you will! XD)

Danny Phantom Randomness (Bitter Reunions Bloopers)
Tumblr media
Vlad's Actor: *thinking* Did he just look straight at the camera? Is everything alright?
Danny's Actor: *trying to silently signal to the director he's really uncomfortable*
Tumblr media
Vlad's Actor: *realizing something is wrong when his co-star winces then asks the director to cut please* Are you alright there son?
Danny's Actor: You're not my dad! *blurts out without thinking, assuming they're still filming*
Vlad's Actor: Erm, that's not what I meant. You seem to be distressed so is something bothering you inside the box?
Danny's Actor: *slowly realizing he's trying to help* Sorry, didn't mean to snap at you. My legs are just really cramped so can I get a chair or something to sit on inside this thing?
Vlad's Actor: *Without a word walks over to grab his own stool, opens the back of the prop box and helps Danny take a seat before closing it shut again.* Better?
Danny's Actor: *sighs in relief* Yeah, thanks V-man.
Vlad's Actor: Don't mention it. *smiles fondly then clears his throat to announce they're ready to re-shoot the scene then goes back to the starting position.*
~
I was taking screenshots to update a few of my old memes with better quality images and took a few extra that looked silly or interesting to me. That's how I came up with this whole little scene. It's also based on an acting au I saw once by @okkennymay that I still adore.
