PART 2 Below cut

(if you're wondering why they're young again even though they obviously died old, it's done on purpose and there's a secret fifth panel that would've made it make sense but i decided last minute not to add it to this post. Figured that people had enough heartbreak from the original set of pictures.)

There's no lonelier curse than that of immortality.

S4 Ep. 1 - "Radio Silence"

Summary:

When Danny suddenly disappears without a word just days after saving the planet from the Disasteroid, the people of Amity Park are left wondering: was the fame too much for the young hero, or is there something more sinister going on here?

Behold, my (not great) attempt at trying to recreate the title card artstyle (I started to get really impatient halfway through the process and gave up tying to get it right. Oh well. I tried.)

Most fanfics do away with Phantom Planet entirely (for good reason) and even AGIT does the same thing as well, but I do like the what-ifs it presents if you go a little on the darker side of things. It's unrealistic to believe that it would all be sunshine and rainbows. Like the #1 rule of all superheroes is to keep your secret identity a secret (#2 rule is "NO CAPES!". Good job, Danny, you got that one right at least.)

Anyway, none of this is new info to this fandom and it's not an original idea, but I don't see people talking about it very often so I just wanted to throw my two cents out there.

You ever have a cool idea in your head that you want to write/draw but then the minute you go to put it down on paper your brain is just like… what idea

[nope-asdf]

Ramble of thoughts and a small sketch dump under the cut.

Y'all can't convince me that my boy looks absolutely NO different than he did before that portal accident. Whether his "molecules got rearranged", or is walking around both alive and dead at the same time like Schrodinger's cat, or any of all the different headcanons that exist out there, surely there has to be SOMETHING that's not quite right, right?

That's why I really like to draw Danny's human form's eyes like the above concept art. I like the idea of his eyes passively being the only visual hint that not everything is as it seems. The eyes are the window to the soul, after all. Maybe it's too obvious, idk, I might scrap the concept at some point. But no one on the show has ever noticed the consistently blatant use of his powers in plain sight either, so I guess it wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Likewise, just like how Danny's human eyes will glow green when he's angry, I think it would be cool for his ghost form to also have a version of his "scary eyes" that's more dynamic than a simple brighter glow than normal. I feel like the idea of his pupils changing color to a bright yellow makes it much more intimidating than normal (I mainly took inspiration from the old Pet Sematary movie when I first thought of this, which freaked me out as a kid, so maybe it seems more eerie to me than it actually is, idk, I just thought it was a cool concept).

From a quick glance around the tumblr I didn't see anyone else have this sort of headcanon. Of course I didn't look very hard either so I'm sure there's something similar somewhere probably that I missed, but I wanted to throw it out there anyway.

(Also, I've been working on a couple of projects that I hope to be finished with soon, hopefully I'll be able to get done with those and post them within the next week or two. Or three. Or so. Idk, I have a full time job and part time job so it's hard for me to balance things.)

Could you please draw a follow-up to your last comic with Sam and Tucker as ghosts? Please, I can't stop crying otherwise.

I was already working on something for that. Don't know when I'll get finished with it but here's a teaser panel until then.

[nope-asdf]

Saw this amazing set of pictures by @nope-asdf it Inspired something, sorry for the sadness in advance.😅😭

It wasn't obvious at first. Not everyone aged significantly in high school after all, so other than the occasional twerp insult from Dash, and the lamenting about not having gained any of this dad's height-meanwhile Jazz did, and it worked well with her, so they just assumed he took after their mom-it didn't change much.

By sophomore year his secret was known by his parents after they had finally had a realization about ghosts-and Danny always suspected it was Clockwork but he couldn't prove it-and had even gotten the GIW disbanded and the AEA repealed with new research papers, it had gone well. There were tears, remorse, apologies that still happened years later whenever they remembered they had been attacking their own son, but with that all going on, they still didn't realize.

Then came junior and senior year, still no obvious changes, mental ones sure, he was more calm and mature and his schooling got easier when things were settled with the ghosts better, but that's it.

Then college, community for the pre-req's, botany and pre-law for Sam, various tech and engineering degrees for Tuck, and engineering and astronomy for Danny.

Having 'such a baby face' didn't help in college when they eventually went to university, always carded for drinks, once even not let into a club because they thought it was a fake ID, but he grinned and barred it.

It wasn't until nearly to graduation it was realized.

"Huh, look at these." Tucker showed an old photo album from high school, one of the rare nights the three of them had off all at once.

"What's up, Tuck?" Danny looked up from the blueprint notes he was going over for a design for one of his classes. Looking over the book, he was confused at first, at least until Sam looked as well and gasped. She took out her phone, pulling up the recent picture and placed it next to the one in the album from his birthday sophomore year.

"Danny, you haven't aged." She said solemnly, pointing at the face that looked the exact same.

Hair style and piercings aside, Danny saw it.

He hasn't aged since he settled fully into the ghost powers and everything settled, possibly even since he even first died.

"...'

"...."

"""Fuck.""" The trio said in unison, breaking the silence that had slowly grown awkward and dead filled.

From that chilling realisation, things went into planning mode.

Baby faced and 'aging well' would only last so long, but they made it work. Clothing, makeup, exercise, hair dye, even careful ghost mode letting some of the white hair show, but eventually, Danny couldn't hide it.

As Sam and Tuck grew, aged, went on with their lives, got married eventually, they had kids, grand kids, had good lives and honestly aged well, living longer than most humans, reaching their hundred teens. Danny... Didn't. Sure he worked and made a name for himself as best he could, but when they reached their 90s and Danny still hadn't changed any, there was no denying it.

Eventually he took to seclusion, moving around, doing work here and there, setting up accounts for his patents to go into without suspicions. Sam helped with the paper trail, Tuck set up legal identities for him when he could, but they all knew it wouldn't last forever.

He didn't realize that meant this.

The area was quiet, the full moon shining over the stones, the funeral long since over. Danny had stood in the back, coat and hat hiding his face, watching as the twin coffin was lowered into the ground.

Sam had passed first, peacefully in her sleep, Tucker walking to find her the next morning, already gone but face at peace. They both waited a few days in case a ghost formed, but there wasn't one. Tucker set their death wishes in motion, and what Danny didn't realize till later, set up things for him too, made sure he was safe for a few more decades, set up 'grandchild' accounts and everything, the kids and grandchildren knew of him, knew him.

"Just promise me you'll keep an eye on them, and yourself. And Sam says don't forget to water her plants on schedule." Tuck had recorded his will reading, and left a letter with the stuff for Danny. No one judged him breaking down in tears, all of them grieving their own ways and understood.

But that had been days ago. The two set to rest, no ghosts formed, and yes he'd checked the zone, long since knowing how to open portals, checked all the records, they weren't there.

Sam and Tucker were gone, moved on just like his parents, and Jazz.

And Danny was alone.

Danny and Cujo.

I haven't really seen anyone talk much about Cujo's relationship with Danny. Granted we don't see Cujo but in a couple episodes, but from what we do see, Danny is the only one that Cujo interacts with that he isn't aggressive towards, and the only one Cujo is protective over.

So I've got this little scenario in my head in which one day Cujo randomly shows up with Danny's logo on his collar. But in order to keep everyone (especially Valerie) from seeing it and holding him responsible for the dog's collateral damage, he keeps ripping it off. Only for a new one to reappear every time he does.

Imagining Danny having his closet stuffed full of dog tags from all his attempts to get rid of them just tickles me. Like if some poor unsuspecting soul like Jazz one day decided to open the door, just to get completely buried under them.

idk, I thought it was funny.

Screenshot redrawing is my favorite thing to do when I have no idea what to do.

I've been seeing a lot of AI generated art lately, so since I'm new here, here's a short timelapse to showcase my process.

my #1 issue is 99.9% of literally everything I draw doesn't ever make it past the rough sketch stage

[nope-asdf]

Request: Can you make some Young Dan Phantom pictures and some Dani Phantom pictures soon?

Sure thing!
