Lineart by @ovytia-art which was such a blast to color - I love the entire vibe of all of them hanging out together so much @green-with-envy-phandom-event
I saw @thepokeone 's Dani lineart, cranked my Dani playlist, and looked up puppy references. (It's so cute ToT I never thought about Dani and Cujo but now????? NOW?????? I'm gonna be thinking about them for a while omg) @green-with-envy-phandom-event
ooooh OH???? I was having so many brain worms about the how and the why this happened and what happens next, there's just so many good possibilities with the lineart by @hannahmanderr
Me the entire time: spooky danny spooky danny spooky danny (delighted with the spookiness of @inefficientbutstillvalid 's lines) // @green-with-envy-phandom-event
I'm so normal about the trio, I say, as I spend far longer than I should coloring this lineart by @oceankat8
once again i'm so glad @green-with-envy-phandom-event exists
Readmore for process video/closeups
The full length export was just over 12 minutes, but as tumblr refuses to let me upload 2 videos, here's the (just over) 5 minute process version:
I wanted to add little bits of,,,,, divinity [isn't the right word because they're more like ghost apprentices but I can't think of a better word right now] to each of them. All of their things have a little glow around them!
Danny's thing is actually the Nocturne/space cloak (I tried to make the clasp look like the moon enveloping the sun to symbolize the dreaming world overtaking the waking world, but I don't think it works visually).
But I couldn't resist adding nods to Danny's existence as a halfa. I added snowflakes to Danny's arms/feet to call back to his ice powers and his hair is a blend of Phantom and Fenton hair (with of course space!). He also has dual colored eyes (blue and green) to show his halfa status as well.
Sam was so fun to add plant growth and green blushes to her skin. (I know it's her little ponytail on her head, but I wanted to visually tie it in more to her dress. Is it a bulb/plant? Is it just a fancy bun covering? idk)
And I had such a hard time figuring out Tucker's extra little thing, but I went with the scarab from the staff, starting around his heart and extending as glowing veins as a callback to the (assumed) pharaoh reincarnation. Tucker also has the dual eye color (bluish green and brown) thing happening
Bug AU Danny is so cute!! And nature/animals are My Thing (in ceramics) so I couldn't help but bring some of that energy to this (I never thought I'd look up a bee's tongue color, but here I am lmao)
Lineart by @ovytia-art
And this is my first double coloring for @green-with-envy-phandom-event !
Lineart by me! (extra info for colorists in og tags) I couldn't resist a dappled light variant on this. @green-with-envy-phandom-event
fun fact: this lineart originally had the actual lunch/picnic table ridges and then i realized that was too much, especially without access to the layers of lineart (personally, I would color the lineart for the table and then the support bars would be colored and the layer moved underneath the table top. I decided not to put colorists in a position to try to color it with one layer of lineart, but I did get quite far before making that decision)
Lineart by @marzfartz . When I saw this I knew at some point I'd be coloring it... I just didn't expect it to be this early in @green-with-envy-phandom-event
Details under readmore
Considering I put a dragon in the gem, and you can't make out half of the details I put in at full size, here:
even with a closeup you can hardly see that I did make the corset tie cording and a velvet texture for the corset panels... (anyway I love the look of contrasting boning channels and I have far too much knowledge on corset making to be normal about it)
Tucker lives in my head often so I wanted to give him some attention with this piece! And I maybe, just a little bit, went overboard (sorry colorists), but I give the gift of letting them decide what to put on Tucker's screen (for @green-with-envy-phandom-event )
tumblr absolutely destroyed the quality of the star freckles, i had to go back and double up that specific section of lineart so it'd show up (lineart by @minnowmarsh ) @green-with-envy-phandom-event
