Hello, I have been thinking of making the clone gang into my OCs for a while now ( kinda inspired by Mortified because it's a great fanfic, I love me some characters we see for 1 min being utilised and explored ) so I kinda just... Did.

Ok so here are my bois, first I shall show a group line-up, then I introduce them in segments.

Sound good? Ok, here they are!

These are the clone squad in human form, though I'm still debating on whether they are hypothetical forms, or if they're all halfas like Dani.

Also I have never really drawn Danielle, so she may look wonky until I get the hang of it lol

Anyway, introductions:

This man is Dante, he's the skeleton ghost, and I based his design off of two things: his nose looks like it would be different than Danny's, and he had a bedsheet.

So therefore, he gets wavy hair, and a similar build to Danny, except his nose is different and I tried to define his brows and their wrinkles a bit more ( I don't know how to explain it better )

Dante is quite possibly the most laid back from the clone squad because there really weren't any expectations he had to deliver on, unlike his siblings.

He's the second oldest, which means Vlad was just ok with him existing because he was still getting the hang of the whole cloning thing.

This means he had time to work on his hobbies, like art and gardening and just wind down after Vlad inevitably did something terrible.

He has leg prosthetics but because I was too excited to post, so I haven't figured out how to draw them yet, so for now he has long pant legs.

He's the mom friend of the gang, will frequently drag the rest of them out of their pods for bonding time because he knows they can get caught up in their problems.

They poke fun at him for his ' bedsheet ghost ' routine but he thinks it's funny and he's vibing, so they just kinda accept it. He actually uses the spooky voice too, just because.

He's the ' We have food at home ' sibling along with Dorian, but can switch to ' McDonalds ' sibling when he wants to make Danielle happy •^•

Now these two.

Oh, boy.

These two are traumatized let me tell you that.

Let's start with Dorian, who for the purposes of my sanity will be Dan level beefy instead of his canon beefiness. Just because I couldn't figure out how to draw it, and it's my design so screw it.

I had the idea of him looking like Jack because he's the oldest sibling so Vlad accidentally tapped into some genetics he probably didn't like.

As you can probably guess, Vlad is not his biggest fan.

Dorian is just the sweetest boi. He's the Jazz of the squad. Often ignores himself and accidentally becomes the therapist friend when there's nobody there to help him set his boundaries.

He's really into social justice, reading, and also rock/metal music ( because why not, it fits his ghost aesthetic too )

He just wants the best for his siblings, even though he's painfully aware Vlad is just... Vlad.

He will not hesitate to curb stomp you if you become a threat to his family, and while he's very patient, the clone gang has sorta given him a sixth sense for detecting mischief.

I'm serious, he walks into a room and just knows they did something.

He chooses to wear formal adjacent clothing himself, it isn't Vlad that made him do it. He feels comforted by the routine of styling himself.

Now, Dominic: I'm gonna put the pic back here for reference.

This lil man

He is just... Full of anger. And issues.

First, his design was meant to have a lot of triangular shapes to kinda match Danny's, as well as to bring more attention to his face.

His eye is just gone in human form as well. It falls off constantly, so he doesn't bother and just carries it in a pouch in his pocket. Dorian finds that understandably disturbing, and Dante is somewhere between ' I can make eye puns when he brings it up ' and ' dude I wish my brother would have better care for himself '.

He's the third clone, and Vlad's favourite until Danielle happened. Unfortunately, because we can't have nice things, he's constantly unstable in ghost form, and because of that Vlad pushed him hard enough for him to develop the shrinking, purely out of his want to disappear and hide.

Dominic despises Vlad from the bottom of his heart, because unlike with Dani, Vlad didn't bother hiding his disappointment and loopiness when it came to his ' almost perfect son '

He's pretty jaded because of this, and he swore to himself that Dani would not suffer like he did, so he allowed himself to get blackmailed into behaving by Vlad. Basically the deal was that Dominic would obey without question, and Dani will be happy and oblivious to the fact he literally doesn't care.

Later on, Vlad tells him that he'll have Danielle overshadow Danny, but he volunteers instead because he knows it won't end well, and he's absolutely right. Vlad probably knew this so he told him specifically so his ' problem child ' wouldn't be a problem.

He would literally fight anyone, despite the fact he has bad depth perception, a lack of real offensive abilities, and an incredible lack of solidity/stability.

He probably waits for the summer with anticipation because he can fire tiny ectoblasts at Vlad and pretend it was mosquitoes.

Besides all the angst and trauma, he has a passion for theatre and mischief. He and Dani are incredibly close and prank everyone. Dominic probably taught her the ' faint to get out of a difficult conversation ' trick.

He can't talk in tiny form, it just sounds like bells ( like Tinkerbell )

Dante probably teases him for ' doing puberty wrong ' and Dominic strikes back with digs against the ' bedsheet ghost routine '. They're vibing.

Dorian and Dominic are also Metal/Rock music buddies and will listen to music together while Dorian is reading some book or other. Dominic is incredibly grateful to have his support despite all the headaches his mischief cause, and he often serves as Dorian's ' boundaries cheerleader ' so to speak.

He's the ' One black coffee ' sibling if you hadn't noticed. Only he'd probably hand it to Danielle because she's his partner in crime.

Now Dani herself, she absolutely adores her brothers. She doesn't understand why Vlad doesn't, but she thinks she can change his mind because he ' likes ' her. Then when he calls her brothers ' mistakes ' she goes ' ok I can't, but if he stabilises me, I can maybe save them too ' because she's precious like that .

Unfortunately, things don't work that way, and so when she leaves Amity park she's kinda confronted with the realisation that ' oh damn, I actually helped murder Dorian, and Dominic wouldn't help Vlad without good reason so he probably took my place ' and that's not exactly a pleasant realization.

The reason she doesn't come back for help earlier than D-stabilized is actually because of guilt. She doesn't feel like she deserves the help after what happened. Then she reminds herself that her brothers wanted her to be happy and goes off to find Danny.

I know this was a lot of angst, so here, have some sketches to balance it out OwO

I'm thinking I also have them come back as ghosts because I want my children to be happy together, but I haven't figured out unique ghost designs for them yet. It feels cheap giving them their clone designs when they're now their own people yknow?

Thank you for reading all this, I'm really happy to finally share my bois with the Phandom •^• if y'all have any thoughts or questions feel free to share.

I'm just glad I did this because doing character design in the DP style is fun, especially considering how Dorian and Dante's facial features had to be built on top of skeletal/unfinished structure ( their noses in particular ) so that was exciting to figure out (ㆁωㆁ)

h e wwo i’ve been meaning to do this for a while but !! never had a proper art piece to submit for critique and finally i’ve made a fullbody dragon hell yeah

the legs are kinda wonky and i’m fIGURING EM OUT but yeah this is a take on Flamecaller from Flight Rising

(please ignore the weird cuts in the neck there’s supposed to be fire there)

hewwo!!

before I start, I gotta say I fuckin LOVE your style here! the detail in the skin textures is exquisite, and I love the way u shaped Flamecaller’s head/neck!

so the main problem w/ the front legs is their connections to the chest. idk if this is a conscious art direction on FR b/c SO MUCH of the art features this mistake, despite varied artists, but FR has a real problem w/ not properly attaching limbs– particularly front legs– to the body. Flamecaller herself is a particularly egregious example of this, as I’ve mentioned in the past, so I can’t rly blame u for following the script w/ her design here

first I shifted the shoulderblades so the bottom points (where the humerus meets the scapula) are closer to the front end of the ribcage where the pecs ought to be. this allowed me to draw more substantial connections between the shoulders and pecs. note how I did this– instead of making a solid line from the arm all the way over the curve of the shoulder, I instead ended the front arm line right at the edge of the shoulder connection, then drew in a small UNCONNECTED curve to indicate the mass of the shoulder under the flesh. extending the arm lines up completely unbroken as far as u did implies 0% connection b/t the arm and the body, so it helps to use less connected curves/lines once the arms reach the body mass, to imply internal connections underneath the flesh instead. I also redistributed the mass of the upper arms a bit, and moved the far arm down/in a bit closer to the chest

also note how the throat doesn’t flow quite as smoothly into the chest anymore, but rather ends distinctly at the indication of collarbones. even in splayed-leg structures where the torsos can merge more smoothly w/ the neck, connections are rarely SO smooth, so this goes double for a non-splayed structure w/ a flexible neck, such as with Flamecaller

as for the wings, I first had to restructure the chest for proper musculature. w/ just abt any ribcage, the front end is gonna be more narrow than the back. this is esp tru for a structure like this, where the front limbs will have dramatically less shoulder muscle mass than the powerful wings just behind. thus, I pushed more of the chest mass from the front to the back. I also just made the chest thicker/longer in general for more support/structure, + I think it matches Flamecaller’s tapering torso better

now, in terms of aesthetics, idk how big u want Flamecaller’s wings to be here. for realism, you’ll want the arm/finger lengths to match or extend a bit past mine, but I can see how u’d prefer ur original wing sizes for the look of this individual piece as a whole. whatever u decide, the proportions WITHIN the wing need some work. the general rule for wing proportions is that the upper arm is thick/short for thrusting power, while the lower arm is long/thin for surface area and supporting membrane. for the fingers, the base sections connecting to the wrist should be the longest/thickest for stability/support, then should get thinner/shorter as u move to the tips, which should be the thinnest/shortest for delicate maneuverability of the edge of the membrane. the musculature of the wing also looks a bit wonky, so I’d suggest looking into bat wing musculature to help get a better feel for it

now kind of a nitpick w/ Flamecaller’s design: the way her front-edge wing membrane attaches down onto the back of her front limbs is SUPER impractical for flight. it would only serve as an obnoxious barrier against oncoming air currents, and rly doesn’t seem to serve any other purpose. whether u keep this for aesthetics or not is whatever, b/c in the grand scheme of anatomical mistakes it’s one of the lesser ones, but I just wanted to let u know

the hind legs suffer from proportion problems as well, mainly in the foot sections being FAR too long. thus, I cut down the foot lengths and lengthened the lower legs a bit as well (while this isn’t always the case, it’s often the lower legs that are longer in quads and even many bipeds like birds). I also shifted the far leg closer to the torso b/c it looked to be floating a bit too far away from the hips. the position of the close leg was HIGHLY awkward, w/ the heel pushed back almost behind the hip, so I pulled the knee down/forward, and the heel naturally followed to a more comfortable position below the hip. this awkward leg positioning is also a HUGE problem w/ FR art, so I can’t rly blame u for following that script either

Flamecaller looks to have ornithischian hips to me, tho she could possibly have saurischian instead, I’m not sure. since I’m going w/ ornithischian, I pulled her pubic bump down a bit past her rump, as seen below (saurischian featured in the top pic, ornithischian featured in the bottom)

also I’m not sure if u made her hind dew claw/thumb into a regular toe on purpose or not, but I just added it back in for canon consistency. I’m also not sure that she actually has a thumb on her wings? it’s a lil’ hard to tell w/ the fold-over of membrane in her ref. it’s on u to keep these features or not, just thought I’d point ‘em out /shrug/

hope this helps!
