Ahhh i see. This is why watermarking/signatures are important, but i was a dumb kid.

That would good, yes, but before you do could you tell me where you got the image? Most of my asks/messages seem to get eaten lately, so this would be the most certain way to reach me.

I really do appreciate it. Tbh it’d be fun to redo that sketch to see how much my art’s improved since high school ^_^

Ok, so my replies are completely bugged rn and I cannot send you an ask either just tumblr things so I’m gonna have to respond like this. First I’d like to say thank you for the credit @gorillageek27​ and shoutout to @ewwcringe for sourcing my artwork. I’m glad you like it, gorilla, but I’d appreciate it if you would not repost my artwork without permission. Generally, it’s helpful to reblog an artist’s work directly. My original post is also better formatted to tumblr, so you get more pixels.

PSA to my followers: do not start shit over this. We’re chill.

Judging by my feed, it’s the DP anniversary. Good time to post this commission then, huh?

i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors

#not my art #ohohohohohoho #you have activated my trap card #tho links were already provided and i have yet to see them #and if they tell me something i dont know i will be very excited #but i will pointlessly info dump in the tags regardless #the biggest thing about colors is understanding the different scales of color (so to speak) #First (most important) is value—how light or dark something is #Second is Hue: what color on the visible spectrum (ROYGBIV) #Third is Saturation: How vivid is the color? #Understanding these three scales is CRUCIAL to understanding how to create/balance contrast in your work #The other factor of color theory OP brought up was color relationships—such as complimentary (R/G)(B/O)(Y/P) #but taking the R/G example and using the scales to help understand their relationship better #Red and Green are complementary #(thats the correct spelling) #but they also scream XMAS in their most audacious form #So lets adjust the values until we get a dark green and a light red for contrast #we can also tint that R hue into pink (tinting is desaturating a color with white) #(in traditional painting adjusting the value is often intrinsically linked with adjusting saturation because adding white or black— #—to a color will automatically desaturate it but I DIGRESS) #and lets also adjust the hue of that green to its analogous relative: Blue #creating a nice deep teal #and bam our final product is a deep teal with light pink accents #providing contrast across all scales while not provoking any jingling of bells #there are also the different types of color media such as subtractive/additive and their applications but #lets stick with the basics and not go into optics #unless requested :) #in the mean time i have some projects to catch up on

hmm... For me, I can recognize your art by Danny's hair (the unique flowiness in ghost mode, but also the well drawn bangs in human mode which most people give up on), combined with an overall slightly realistic feel to a picture. (...But that kind of only works for pictures of Danny. ^_^" I'm not familiar enough with your art yet to pick up on more.)

yo thanks so much for the feedback :D And yah, I can often recognize an artist by their take on Danny's hair too; it's pretty varied. I leaned into the anti-gravity and dry ice theme for his ghost mode myself. And I don't blame anyone giving up on those mickey mouse logic bangs lmao

#not art #cryx speaks #also a nod to Dan #i got mixed feelings on the char just by concept but #the design slaps

[cryxdraws]

ok but please i want my art to be precieved

#ooh im curious #tell me #other than the signature lmao #not art

[cryxdraws]

And it’s val timeeee

#valerie gray #dp #wip #cryxdraws #e-ghost series #still figuring out the colors for this one #and the bg #and the special/spooky effects #might fiddle with the logo more too

[cryxdraws]

Been experimenting with animation with some Phantom hc’s :D

#dp #animation #gif #ghost aura #cryxdraws #i am working on a meta post to explain my thoughts on ghostly auras #but basically #ghosts are aliens and have an absolutely fascinating form of communication #that is created via the core pulsating energy #what kind? all the kinds #the basics tho are #light thermic and psychic (ecto-radiation) #regardless of core type #but the applications are practically infinate #ghosts that can change the hue of their auras based off the frequency/level of excitement #ghosts with such massive auras they can effect the actual weather #with thermic shifts #ghosts that can project their emotions/desires onto others so intensily it’s basically mass hypnosis #so yah basically a way to explain the magic #and more supernatural aspects #but also I just really like the idea of Danny being accidentally LOUD as Phantom without even realizing it #he’s got a massive aura and doesn’t even know how many signals he’s putting out all the time lmao #gets excited about a good grade and every ghost w/in 10 miles knows about it #or at least they get the vibes #humans can sorta sense it too? #but lacking cores themselves they can’t ‘’translate’’ #they just percieve the effects #like bright cold and an odd sense of joy—in the case of happy Danny #but those signals only emit while the core is active so he very rarely has to worry about it in human form

Ok hear me out: Sam kept the plant powers from Urban Jungle

#danny phantom #sam manson #e-ghost series #plant!Sam #cryxdraws #basically Undergrowth really fucked her up #and she’s got some serious nerve damage #and scars from where the vines puppeted her #but also plant powers #i need to do more research into it but I’m thinking severe chronic pain and itching #the mind control plant looked like it penetrated the medulla #which #ow #time to reserach brain damage whooo #or spinal chord damage? probably needs a mobility aid #i imagine ​most of amity park also have similar symptoms but far less severe #and likely recovered after a few months at least #much to consider #but yah the fun part is the plant powers #she’s almost like a halfa in this AU #traumatic death/injury involving a metric fuckton of ectoplasm? check #OP ghost powers? #check #chronic pain/trauma? #(thats a HC for halfas) #i guess the difference is it was an injury and not a full-on death #so she doesnt have an actual core #val is in a very similar boat #somewhere btw halfa and ecto-exposed human

[cryxdraws]

Progresssss

It’s Sam timeeeeee

Eeey Space King. Might tune it up or mess with the concept more in the future, but for now I’m done.

#danny phantom #ghost king au #space king au #cryxdraws #officially an ancient congrats dude #i wanna do a comic btw him and Nightshade #phantom looking all regal and such #and then there’s nightshade #a gremlin #with 0 fucks to give #to any authority #yah that guy can warp the fabric of space with his mind #but he’s also a major sap #with some serious memory problems cuz he keeps accidentally calling me sam #and trying to play it off like he didnt #like sure bud #(yes. all the plant puns) #on a side note Jazz’s ghost could be a direct foil to Spectra #but tuck’s really important in this story yet I haven’t decided on what his ghost even looks like :/ #electric core for sure #but what’s his obsession? #hmmm #maybe a foil to Technus? #should i lean into the furry thing #i think it’d be fun if he inherited duulaman’s lair #and he and phantom are royal bros heh #Val’s ghost is probably badass af #maybe hunting vlad down lmao #i imagine she’s a bounty hunter #potential for a serious rivalry btw her and skulker >:D

[cryxdraws]
