Y'all bear with me on my bad phone pictures and excessive notes lmao, but, uh, ask and you shall receive.
Here's my concept art for Jason in my fic Imprint, where he's a halfa and Danny's biological dad and the king father/king regent? of the infinite realms.
Here's the first ever sketch I did somewhere around chapter 2 or 3:
Tumblr media
Featuring larval Ghost!Jason, Pit madness/Lazarus Water and little bitty Ghost!Danny.
I was already thinking about the possibility of a crown but didn't know what to do with it yet so I just left a halo as a placeholder DBZ-style, which you'll see in the next few concept stages until I finish the latest one.
Ah, the oldest concept I had for the Pit is that it laid dormant in Jason's mind and would physically pull itself out of his head, which is why it's kind of half melded with Jason's helmet in this one. And I'm still kind of considering that idea, but I'm leaning more towards it coming from the bulk of Jason's body instead, as we see it in chapter 8 of Imprint when readers get to see Jason's ghost nonsense from an outside perspective. They (the Pit) is definitely more tiger-like now, and you'll catch a glimpse of a sketch dump where I'm trying to get a handle on tiger shape language (?). They'll still be water based and colored like the pits/a lagoon. It may be hard to picture- just trust me.
Uhhh let's see....the "lantern ribcage" is a part of the design that's really important to me so you'll see me consistently playing with it as I go through these early concepts. That's his core nestled in the lower part of his ribs, visible but protected behind the iron cage of his bones.
I wanted to incorporate Jason's helmet and other parts of his vigilante/hero uniforms in his ghost form since that part of his life is deeply personal to him.
I also knew that I wanted him to have a very monstrous aspect to his design- and I can't resist slapping pointy teeth on any of my concepts that deviate from being strictly human. So those aren't going away. Nostrils to breathe smoke and fire so Jason can better emote with most of his face being metal.
Danny's default ghost form, opposed to Jason's will still kinda be the one he has in his original dimension- black and white suit and the classic DP symbol on the chest, but probably better armored and with a bat emblem thrown in somewhere. So thats what I drew him with here- though little kid sized, with an added black streak in his hair to complete the inverse of the Lazarus Pit streak he has in human form.
In ghost form, when Jason needs precision, his go-to weapon will be the All Blades, which I have kinda illustrated here.
I may kinda set the bones of this design aside to use as a more humanoid ghost form that's closer to his living form, but that's still up in the air.
Here's concept 2, which I did on chapter...5? I think? Which is when I decided I wanted to make Jason's most comfortable ghost form to be kinda big and outrageous:
Tumblr media
This one's got some notes doodled around it- but I'll type them out in case you can't read my handwriting.
Jason was definitely leaning more toward dragon (and I'm still trying to find the balance between dragon and phoenix that works nicely for him, but we're getting there.)
I decided not to put heat pits on his face recently so that the parts of his head modeled after the helmet are smooth metal armor. I tried to elongate the head but still keep the lines of his helmet in the design.
This is also the first time I started messing with horns- which have been bent in just about every direction at this point trying to make them mesh well with the rest of his design. The uppermost notes in the image mention basing the shape of his horns off of one of his weapons. I thought that the flaming all blades would just be overkill at that point and decided to play with using the Kris knife he gets from the League. Which is....still overkill but it's less fire to draw, so we'll call it a even. There is also a note on my decision to make his horns into a pair only because of being Bruce's second son and the second Robin. (I have put way too much fucking thought into this if you haven't figured that out already).
Tried a different look for the teeth and ended up scrapping it.
I also started leaning more into making his back look as messed up as possible at this point and started thinking of the....mountain range in plated rows like a croc's back.
And here's concept 3, which also starts playing with colors and the all-tail, no-legs look that I decided to stick with:
Tumblr media
This is definitely the biggest jump between concepts so far and was sketched up while writing chapter 7, which I think is the first time we get to experience his ghost forms (there's 2 that we saw in that chapter).
So I continued to smooth and lengthen the head and tried a different thing with the teeth- which I kept. I also felt a lot better about the lines from the helmet with this concept. I tried curling his kris knife horns forward, trying to play with their form. Those have changed since.
This is the first time I added hair, but it's hard to see. He, like Danny, has an inversed streak of black at the front of his 'do to reflect the Lazarus stripe.
Again with the halo placeholder because I was still on the fence about the crown. Started trying to make the mountains of his spine more volcanic looking. Don't know if I'm keeping that or not yet.
So the three major differences between this and it's predecessors is the 1) mantle of smoke that is constantly being expelled from his body that is supposed to imitate a kinds cloak/mantle; 2) the tail, which has since been changed into a fiery tail instead of a ghostly one; and 3) I slapped his Robin 'R' from the movie UTRH on him to make this form more...him, I guess, and also to make Bruce cry like a baby.
So the things that I have changed is the ribcage, the shape of the horns, the crown (which finally has a rough design and a name based on the fight he has to win to earn it- yes, I already have that arc scribbled out and will most likely be adding it into the story) and I added some extra stuff to the face to match the written descriptions in Imprint.
SO. -Claps hands together- I'd love to hear your thoughts on everything, and I am always interested in hearing how y'all have interpreted these characters for yourselves.
If this is something you want me to do again with other character designs, let me know and I will. I am working on Jason, of course, and the Pit, Frankie boy, Danny's big long boi form, Gotham and some other odds and ends.
(Whoops forgot tags again)

The WIPpening, 2024 (WIP tag game)
"Rules: In a new post, post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs."
Tumblr media
Okay, @hailsatanacab tagged me (thanks!!) and I do want to play, but here's my problems. 1) Half my WIPs are entitled "untitled document." Don't ask me why. I'm superstitious. 2) I finished the first fic in a decade in 2022, which means I have a decade of unfinished WIPs. There are genuinely hundreds of these, potentially 200-300. This is not feasible.
Here's what I'm going to do. I am going to parse this down to...ten-ish current WIPs. I am going to post them here below. Feel free to request whichever one you like, by title or number, in my tumblr inbox, and I will answer each ask with...mebbe 200 words minimum of WIP when I wake up in the morning. Cool? Cool. 😎
Untitled Document (primary) (dp x dc)
Untitled Document (most recent) (dp x dc)
Holy Ageswap Batkid! (dc)
alien Danny dp x dc (1)
Chet Thomas FakeLastName Timkon Clone baby (dc)
Naruto8
Fanfic(Marvel + batman) SpiderCass (dc x marvel)
Superboy Danielle bones prompt fill dp x dc
fanfic(Danny Phantom)demon!au(2ish) (dp)
Send me an ask with a WIP number or its silly title! I will warn you: Some of these are secret fics. I haven't started posting all of these anywhere just because I planned to snap them up in a few hours and they just took me so looooong (;′⌒`). But if you ask a question, I'll answer what I can, and if you make a request, I'll give a snippet. It's free real estate.
OH RIGHT, PEOPLE. Uh, uh.... *spins a wheel* How about... @hashtagdrivebywrites, @chromatographic, @cyrwrites, @mysterycyclone, @stealingyourbones, uh, who else writes...@glucosegaurdian, @tachvintlogic, and...@silk-scarlet-ribbons. Why not. Feel free to either play or ignore me entirely! See everyone else tomorrow! (✿◠‿◕)

First Line Game
Rules: List the first lines of your last 10 published fics and see if there’s a pattern.
Thank you to wonderful @jonairadreaming for the tag!!
1. love me like i'm brand new [Wednesday; wenclair]
When Enid lands in San Francisco for winter break, she has to give herself a pep talk in the bathroom mirror.
2. so take my hand, take my whole life too [Santa Clarita Diet; abby/eric]
Abby Hammond chooses law after high school, mostly for the fucking irony of it all.
3. green-eyed (monster) [Wednesday; wenclair]
Something festers inside Wednesday—a gaping chasm of roiling emotions that Wednesday, for all means and purposes, should like, but doesn’t.
4. want something just like this [Wednesday; wenclair]
Enid lasts four days without sleep.
5. (on my soul, amore) your indelible mark [Wednesday; wenclair]
One slip.
6. see you as you are [House of the Dragon]
"Ser Criston," says Alicent. "Bring me the eye of Lucerys Velaryon."
7. you left me, sweet, two legacies [DCEU; superbat; genderbend]
They walk side by side.
8. wild nights would be (our) luxury [Iron Man movies; pepperony; genderbend]
His eyes roamed the crowds as he took a break, leaning against the bar counter in a way that indicated polite disinterest in conversation-one that was acceptable and not offending.
9. so i travelled back down that road [Iron Man movies; pepperony; genderbend]
He was shaking.
10. flashbacks in a film reel [Harry Potter]
Draco couldn't stop staring at the knife in his hand.
----
tbh, i'm not really good at analysing stuff, but i think in all of these I tend more towards writing something that's physically happening/they (the characters) are doing--ig i try to ground the readers into the worlds by physicality before something emotional.
(or i could be wayy off the mark in my pattern*shrugs*)
----
absolutely no pressure tagging @simplynotcapable @mokkkki @hashtagdrivebywrites @tollingreminiscentbells @dark-princette and anyone else who sees this! literally, anyone who comes across this can hop in!! <3

Y'all, I am so tired I don't have the energy to blink.
Trying to wrangle the next chapters for both of my fics and some maybe-sorta-potentially new stuff (because I have no self control) is like trying to herd cats.
So. Chapter updates:
Chapter 9: Op: Rattle of Imprint:
Tumblr media
Chapter 13 of Meandros:
Tumblr media
hi, hello, Des, its been a while and I missed you like a dream
We're still neck deep in the drafting stage but I wanted to check in anyway since it's been a minute- I will update again when I'm editing. Y'all know the drill.
