Description Here we have a nice group photo of Team Phantom in order to wish everyone on DA (or at least all the Danny Phantom fans, at any rate) Happy Holidays. I know, this pic is pretty late to the dance, but considering this is my first time drawing pretty much everyone on this page except Danny and Sam, there was a lot of guess-and-test involved. More than once, I actually felt like scrapping the project and trying it again next year. Still, when all was said and done, I'm glad I went ahead and finished it because I'm quite pleased with the end result.

So basically, here's the scenario. Being that the holidays have come around again, once more, "the fight" rears its ugly head between Jack and Maddie. And no, it looks like they can't even let it go for 10 seconds to take one lousy picture. Under past circumstances, this would no doubt drive Danny up the wall. But he's seeing things a little differently this time around, seeing as how he has something now that he never had in the 14 years previous. Namely, a loving girlfriend in Sam, who's bound and determined to see her guy have a Merry Christmas, even if it KILLS them (and by "them", she means everyone else, not her and Danny).

For this picture, Tucker has chosen to opt for his mayoral top hat, rather than his traditional beret (mistletoe or otherwise). After all, to him, a photo op is a photo op, even if it's just for private use. Meanwhile, Valerie, who is still a little unsure as to just where she stands in this group, is just trying to go with it.

And oh yes, Danielle is there, too. For those of you who are not quite current with my Danny Phantom fanfic series, Danielle is living with the Fentons now. After their latest encounter with Vlad (in which Danielle was used as an unwitting pawn), Danielle's existence has now been brought to light. But the Fentons, feeling a sense of responsibility to her well-being, use Tucker's mayoral connections to fast track an adoption for her. And Jazz, for one, couldn't be happier as she throws herself into having a little sister with her typical zeal. While Danny still means the world to her, ideally, it's just easier for a big sister to be a role model for another girl. And after seeing snippets of Danielle's tomboyish nature, Jazz admits that she has got a lot of work ahead.

*Whew!* Was that long-winded or what? Still, I couldn't help myself. Considering how long it took me to get this pic together, it just means a lot to me to see it up. Hopefully, even though the holiday season has almost completely passed us by, it can make you feel the same.

Impressive first attempt with the entire team. I get the feeling things will get more impressive with time. I must say, the stats of this pic are surprising. Been around for only half a day and already amassed many comments, views, and favorites. Clearly someone's reputation on this site is growing. Hopefully, if luck and fate are with you, you'll have a story to go a long with this pic by the end of the year?

Well, I'm hoping that things will improve, myself. I find that as I do more and more pics, I just do one or two little things in my technique that make the next pic a little better than the pic before it. As for the pic's stats, well, to be honest, it does help when I've got the picture posted on 10 different Danny Phantom groups on DA. I find that kind of helps to improve the circulation a bit. As for a DP Christmas fic, again, it would be a lovely idea if I had an idea for a conflict in it. Because if I have a main conflict for the story, then I can use that to develop a plot.

So glad you liked the pic.

Well, that makes sense. Still, even with your pic being viewable in about 10 groups, it still seems to have gained an impressive number of views faster than some of your other pics that were viewable in the same amount of groups.

So glad you like it. I know this one took quite a while for me to do, but I at least got it posted before the New Years weekend was out. Took a lot out of me, but when I see it on screen, that just makes it all the more rewarding.

Oh believe me, I am extremely proud of this one, if for no other reason than because of all the work that went into it. Because I'd never drawn Danielle, Jazz, Tucker, Valerie, Jack or Maddie before, the pencil work for this pic was literally DAYS of trial and error. Followed by 10 straight hours of work on the hard lines and color so I could get the pic posted by the time New Years weekend was over. Like I said, more than once, I actually thought about shelving the whole thing and coming back to it next year. But I'm glad I stuck it out, because once I saw it up there on the screen, it was just TOTALLY worth it.

Well, I kind of consider starting to post art here on DA as coming out of left field a little bit. But through that, I've been drawing people's attention to my fanfic series and vice versa, so it's working out quite nicely, don't you think?

So glad you love it. I honestly think this is one of my best works to date. Of course, I'm also bursting with pride right now because of all the work it took (the pencil work literally took days of trial and error, followed by over 10 hours on the hard lines and color just so I could get it posted before the New Years weekend was out). So when it was finally done and I just saw it up there on screen, it was just so totally worth it.

So glad you love it so much. Yes, I'm very proud of this one. It was definitely my most strenuous picture in terms of workload (especially since I was running to beat the clock so I could post it before the New Years weekend). But that just made things all the more rewarding when I finally saw it all up there on screen.

Glad you like the pic. As for the story suggestion, well, I'm not really a BF5 fan. And besides, that still gets me no closer to formulating a Christmas-themed plot for the story. Thanks for the idea, though. I'm always open to hearing story suggestions from others, even if I don't always go with them. After all, there are only so many things I can come up with on my own. That's why TV shows have multiple writers.

Yes, it's true. "The fight" is unavoidable (like I say, they couldn't let it go for 10 seconds just to take one lousy picture). In the end, it's just one of those things best left ignored...if you can.

BivGalPanAndRaa In reply to TuxedAaron [2011-01-03 14:59:17 +0000 UTC]

One of the things I find weird about the fight is that a person of science like Maddie thinks the existence of ghosts is plausible even before she and Jack saw one, yet she believes the existence of Santa is ridiculous.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TuxedAaron In reply to BivGalPanAndRaa [2011-01-03 18:47:07 +0000 UTC]

Well, I think Maddie would argue that her and Jack's theories led to the discovery of the Ghost Zone, so even if no actual ghost sightings had been confirmed, their ideas were already based on semi-proven fact. Although despite all her arguments against Santa Claus, which are all based on scientific rules and limitations, I guess it never occurs to her that magic might be involved, which if you think about it, can't really be scientifically measured or analyzed. Which brings me to my point that I think Fairly Odd Parents probably has one of the more interesting incarnations of Santa Claus to come along in quite a while. Basically, it's explained that he's able to do what he does because all the magic from Fairy World is automatically transferred to him for one day on Christmas Eve.
