- AS ABOVE, SO BELOW-

It's been a long while, but I had the itch to draw. Digital is not my strongest art form but it's a lot of fun!

Clockwork and Nocturne are my favorite Ancients, parental vibes to my King Danny... hmm...

Also have some Variations!

Depending on your personal favorites...

Nocturne is Owl coded, I swear...

This composition is very... awkward family holiday photo somehow, that's hilarious.

As always, click for better quality. <3

Excuse the terrible quality, but have a WIP from beyond my grave...

In other news I've been writing for fun on the side, which inspired this little piece!

Feel free to lurk if you wish!

Quick and loose art study...

[lord-of-dorks]

I'm an aspiring artist and I mainly work traditionally but my art still sucks, how do you add all the details you do without messing it up? I love ur art and I'm very inspired by it <3

Oh man,,, I rarely receive an ask and I'm absolutely floored that my work can inspire you. Even if just a lil bit! I must also state, that in regards to my detail work I may just be a somewhat feral creature that loves adding fiddly bits to add to character's character. Or to push the vibes/themes in the piece. As well as, having days where my art also sucks, trust me I've been there, and remembering that art is an ever changing learning process that can take time. So, don't give up, but do take breaks as needed, haha.

However, to answer your question to the best of my ability, strap in. Cause I'm likely to start rambling, so sorry in advance if this gets long!

My works are usually traditional, with the occasional digital thrown in as I learn how that works,,,, so, with that in mind I usually work in alcohol markers, India/calligraphy/acrylic inks, and sometimes watercolor. I spent a lot of time experimenting with my mediums until I found a process I felt worked best for me most often.

I tend to do my sketches semi-detailed adjusting until I'm somewhat happy with them, and do my colors/shading before my line ink work. Hoping I don't mess said line work up with my trembling hands. Less running and bleed involved,,, and sometimes do my backgrounds in watercolor for a softer look or for depth.

After color, I do my line work in ink like these with a calligraphy pen. I will admit it took some practice to not make an absolute mess everywhere, and achieve a line variation of thick/thin I like. I do all my detail work with the same pen, I'm sure it seems well used/loved at this point.

One of my particular favorites is my chainmail! I actually, am a madman who, draw(s) all the chinks/loops individually. Which isn't always very visible from afar but does achieve a really pretty metal reflection imitation when done in iridescent ink! Though you can also use the belt chain detail as a different example. As those were faint sketch lines to help me remember how the chain would drape, and only became actual chain in the inking stage,,,

I hope some of that was helpful, though I'm always down to talk my art process/clarify more!

Maybe I'll figure out how to do an art process time lapse if anyone is interested?

Re-Blog of my Beloved's wonderful work. They're very excited for the concert in August. 💜

Serving looks, and maybe his head🗣️

YOUR DANNY DESIGN IS PEAK AND BASED AS HELL

Aaaaaaaa, thank you!!! It's only the second occurrence of the armor being worn. Been thinking about designing a King Danny who's a lil less humanoid as well. So I suppose we shall see,,, I still can't believe so many love my ghost boy shenanigans. I'm so humbled. <3

-" An Audience with the High King "-

A Paladin of Nightmares stands in silent vigil beside a throne of iridescent onyx shards.

Lots of metallics and little details running around on this one,,, But I ended up liking the overall vibes. And the general sass.

Another one on the pile for my small series of DP pieces. Enjoy!

Still Dreaming?

Why, hello there. I'm Syfi, resident lurker and occasional art poster. Gender fluid disaster, so all pronouns apply! <3

Decided I may as well add my Artist Card to the pile for fun. I don't dabble in digital art often as I tend to work more traditionally, but it's still interesting to learn.

- " A Gift to Time " -

The King enjoys bringing his Guardian trinkets from the Living Realms,,,

Had a lot of fun with this one, and definitely had to include a certain Stopwatch to what's become a series of works. Haha.

As always click for better quality ~ <3

we r now funky Danny Phantom mutuals 😼

Honestly, fair,,,

Can't argue with that

- " Bene Requiem, Mi Rex Invenis " -

Even a sovereign must set down his burdens and rest. Dead or not,,,

I imagine that Nocturne and CW tag team their young liege on occasion. And who better than to watch over your rest amongst the cosmos then the King of Dreams?

Finally finished this one,,, The slightest tilt on this piece and the gold shimmers to life. Maybe I'll do an interpretation of CW sometime soon?

As always click for better quality<3

- "The High King of the Infinite Realms, Son of the Stars" -

"White hair, dark glimmering chainmail over soft leather armour and a chest plate with a d-shaped crest on it. Finely made gloves and shoulder guards. White steel toed combat boots. A blue flaming crown, a ring of the same colour. A cape that holds the night sky and a staff made from the moon."

I'm alive?

Felt inspired to design some armor via "Knight of the Boyking" by @little-dreams-of-life . And after a long debate decided I'd share my interpretation of the resident ghost boy,,,

May decide to tweak some things next time, we'll see. Happy with how this turned out though!

As always click for better quality<3

What I like about you guys is that most of you when u reblog art, there is always at least someone saying something good and supportive to the artist on the tags. It makes me super happy and I'm sure it makes the artists happy too so thank you
