Okay people, the Artrix's take on... line up continues with Danny Phantom, let me start off with this little background story...

2013 A.D, Danny Phantom's ghost fighting was no longer needed, as Fenton Works Inc. had obtained full control over the ghost plague that once terrorized the city. Even though Danny's parents were running a successful business, Danny finished college and managed to get employed at an insurance company, so he could obtain a steady income, a normal life, and retirement as ghost fighter.
That, however, was rudely interrupted, as two years later, ghosts begin to terrorize other parts of the world, including the United States itself. Governments quickly declare a war on ghosts, which would be the first time in history that the entire human race would have to face one single common threat.

Danny feels that his services as ghost fighter are, once again, needed, and tries to assist Fenton Works without being noticed by the authorities. Unfortunately, Danny was arrested by the FBI and put on trial for crimes against humanity. It was his own sister, Jazmine Fenton, who started a movement to let people realize that he is, in fact, the hero, not the enimy. The movement didn't changed the government's mind, but a high-priced lawyer, hired by millionaire Samantha Manson, released Danny Phantom from all charges simply by stating that there are no laws citing anything about mixtures of humans and ghosts.

After the movement put enormous pressure on world leaders, governments recognized Danny Phantom as an ally in the War on ghosts. Sam bought Fenton Works and rebranded it to "Danny Phantom inc". Tucker, who studied advanced computer science at Michigan Institute of Technology, was hired to be the badass hacker. Danny's parents were hired to be the company's CEOs, so Sam could assist Danny herself, just like the good 'ol days. It would not take long for Jazmine to join the gang, and has specialized herself in advanced weaponry.

Now... what am I missing here... oh, nothing I guess.

Now let's move on to the actual image. It is, without doubt, my best achievement when it comes to shading. Light effects have developed in an exponential rate in the past coupla days, among other things. This is also the first time I'm applying a technique that allows me to color outlines relatively quick, and the shading makes it all mold together. Still though, it was an extreme load of work, and even though I'm saying it myself, it's paying off in spades.

But why would I want to make this, well, for one thing, Danny Phantom is growing on me. I can see the fight sequences improve and the show is actually developing an epic storyline. Still though, I always thought it could be better, and more exiting. Sometimes, they want to do something cool, and then it completely falls flat on it's face (especially the slow motion scenes).
So I thought to myself "I'm just going to make Danny Phantom completely badass for once". For that, I started by changing the target audience to the commercialistic hip 18-25 demographic. Then, of course, put the characters into somewhat similar, but cooler, steriotypes. Sam stopped being a whining goth and is wearing a trenchcoat and wielding a Colt Government M1911A (thanks to =CabalcoTech for loaning me that gun reference book). Tucker was clearly inspired by fuctional hacker Morphius, and Jazz (I was listening to jazz while shading her, lol, funny pun, lol) pretty much became a million times cooler (and useful) than in the actual series. Danny pretty much remained the same, except for some more muscles and a 5 'o clock shadow. Since he's a full-time ghost fighter now, he can fully equip himself with the latest ghost hunting technology.

Well, that much for description, critique would be very much appreciated, even though I haven't mentioned some minor glitches here and there.

Danny's left hand is now reversed and doesn't look like it's bend in impossible ways anymore.
