what is this hullabaloo

Some Beetlejuice sketches

SIC EM

so unfortunately, we decided to shut down the Danny Phantom reboot project I was in charge of. For a myriad of reasons, the biggest being lack of people and too big a scale. :( It’s bittersweet and I won’t go into it here

What I WILL go into are some of the concepts I made for the trio, Jazz, and Vlad (also Dan)! Please ignore that I’m not that good at the DP style lmao

For Danny we didn’t wanna change anything too drastically on him, so we were mostly just playing around with giving him slightly more variety in his outfits. Same for Jazz

For Sam we wanted to make her more of a punk rather than a goth, and give her more practical clothing than a skirt and crop top lol

For Tucker we basically just wanted to keep him like… more updated/less of a ‘geek’ caricature? but still keeping that nerdy undercurrent (some of the other concepts for him pulled this off beautifully, whereas mine were a bit weak imo)

Vlad was given a lot more complexity in his character, backstory, and involvement with the Fentons, and something we thought might be interesting would be to give him a cane; he would actually need it to walk, as he would have sustained an injury during the Proto Portal accident in college, but it also added to the silhouette and the Rich Country Gentleman look lol (we also talked about a running gag where he’d just throw his cane off-screen for every fight and then he’d mysteriously have a new one next appearance, I’m very sad I’ll never see that gag actually done)

Also added a little doodle I did VERY early of a concept for Dan, where he’s like a nasty amalgamation of different timeline Dannys and such, and in my fantasies he would move akin to Aggie from Paranorman, where it’d be like his physical being is trying to separate into its disparate parts but can’t quite make it there

It was a SUPER early idea we were throwing around lol and kinda…. got changed as things developed but yea, I still like him. He was dubbed Eldritch Dan
