In a Moment of Desperation

***Please take the time to full view the work as respect to the artists time it took to do the art. Thank you ***

At long last, this is an illustrated scene, done for the lovely ~JennPhantom. Doing this picture took up 3 months of my life, from sketch to finally having it finished early this morning, and I respected Jenn's and ~DannyPhantomAddict's decision for me to upload it to dA. I wouldn't have otherwise.

A little message for the piece in general, this is a scene Jenn wanted me to illustrate, and I lose track of how long ago it was that she wanted me to do this. It had to have been either May of June of last year, but I agreed to do it. Because of college it took me this long to get through with it, as I was still working on late trades and requests over the summer. This is a scene to go with the season 4 scripts she's writing. Visit her page ~JennPhantom for more information about the scripts. This is simply just a scene illustration, and even I can't tell you exactly what's going on, like how did things end up the way they did, but I'm sure you get the general point about it anyway

This pic would of not taken quite as long if I hadn't screwed up my technique's for even doing it. I am probably the least happy with how Dan came out, as I was trying to work with a little bit of perspective with him but he looks as flat as can be, so proportions of off in many ways just because of that. My other greatest mistake was making the picture so large. It made it nearly impossible to work with decent timing. I have been struggling to get my line art as strong and as thick as I can so it can be more like the actual style of the show. The background speaks for itself. A bit of honesty, I needed references for the background quite badly. I am not very familiar with doing backgrounds, that is why I do such backgrounds on "practice" pics so it can help me learn the style. I learn a little more about it every time I do a such a pic. Reference is not to be confused with "copying" The background style seems to change with each and every episode of Danny Phantom which can be quite confusing. The style is very interesting. It's not perspective perfect and things are very much out of line, but it it's all meant to be fun, and I enjoy that about the style very much. You get to mess up on purpose The backgrounds are not very complicated at all, just incredibly tedious sometimes, as simple as they really look.

The those that took the time to view, thank you and I hope you find this picture enjoyable to view ! This is the largest picture I've ever done and about 80 hours were spent in photoshop on it, but that was my mistake, and working on a slow computer that can hardly work photoshop to begin with. ;

Also a note to those curious about me taking requests, due to the disrespect my art has received as well as the disrespect to me as an artist, all trades and requests are now only available for good friends from now on. Thank you

EDIT: I've removed the watermark from this image as I'm not too terribly concerned about theft from it and would like my viewers to see it in as high of a quality as possible, so PLEASE do not force me to put a watermark on this again
