Hauntley's Rambling - Blog Posts

Ever completely redesigned a character and their personality because you had a sort of crisis over the fact that they, as the main character, felt as though they had no impact on the story?

Well that's what I did! :D

The new Jaxon Finch everybody. Still working on it.

Anyway I'm drawing more sketches of the lamb which brought me back to this. I'm thinking of getting the Heretic Edition and maybe the sin pack, is it worth it?

I've had an interest in the game for a while now but never got it. My friend is getting me a youtooz plushy of the lamb for my birthday and it kinda pushed me over the edge lmao, also the OST is really good and I've started reading some fanfiction too so

Praise The Lamb 🐑

Anyway, guess who's planning on getting Cult of The Lamb for themselves as a birthday gift this April so they decided to do some sketches of The Lamb while in school?

This guy! :D

Can you spot the point where I started using references?

I think I might make a separate blog for fandom stuff or one for OC stuff, idek

I'm trying to get better at drawing digitigrade legs and if I'm using it as an exuse to draw Cult of The Lamb? That's for me to know and you to suspect, shhh :)

People are celebrating the death of tumblr live

But

Like

I never had it 🧍

It's been awhile T~T

School has decided to swamp me with homework for the last two weeks of the semester, I haven't had any chance to sit down and draw! I've done some writing and have a general idea of how I want to tell the story of The Phantom's Façade AU...

It's going to be short stories with a full illustration each. I've got three written so far and a fourth in the works, but they're only five hundred words each... Obviously there'll be a big overarching story-

Anyway, I don't know how much progress I'll make on anything art related until the start of the second semester, sorry!

Hey so I like broke my back drawing hunched over for six hours last night so- No performance au art or art in general for probably the next few days, I just need a small break from it, sorry!

I do have an idea for how I could do the story though, I personally feel like it wouldn't be as impactful as a comic, but I still want to do art for the story, so I was thinking of a combination, but I don't know what I'd do... Thoughts?

Since I don't have any art to go with this post, take my favourite of the earlier sketches lol

Nevermind, I got them finished! I present, Performance AU designs!

I like C the best overall, but I might do some versions where I add D's jacket and/or B's shorts and stockings. I'm not proud of A tbh.

I don't know if I want to do the umbrella, a cane or no prop. I like the idea of the umbrella being a weapon, but then again, Danny doesn't tend to use weapons very often :/

What do you think?

I'll put some coloured versions of one of the designs once I get it down! I'm also scared that they don't look much like Danny and I can't tell if that's because it has no colour or if it's just a style thing... Then again, I guess the whole point of the AU is that he's pretending to be something he's not so-

I'm having a lot of fun for the Performance AU, enough that I'm thinking of even naming it... I was pretty busy today so I didn't get them done but there's four mock up designs for Danny's royal attire coming soon! :D

Anyone have any name ideas for the AU btw? The ones I have are pretty uninspired imo ~-~

I ended up doing little sketches cause I'm having fun with this. It looks much better in person I swear. I tried to do some neck crown but I don't know if you can really tell. Also I don't know what a NASA hoodie would look like, forgive me. Too lazy to find a reference.

We don't mention the one on bottom, okay? Okay.

Okay okay okay long post but,

I need to say this cause it's nearly midnight and this idea is keeping me awake! Please tell me if you like the sound of the idea or if you think it's a bit of a stretch lol

So I started thinking about this today and cannot stop but y'know those Danny Phantom AU where Danny has a space obsession but everyone assumes it's actually a protection obsession?? I had an idea where, what if they're not assuming and Danny's pretending to have a protection obsession because he doesn't want his rouges to feel guilty about keeping him from his obsession?

Here me out! What if Danny feels like pretending to have a protection obsession is necessary to keeping his rouges happy and content while fulfilling their obsessions? He wants them to be happy because it means they'll be more satisfied and will come around less (he hopes). His rouges are more than happy to attack because they feel like they're helping Danny fulfill HIS obsession!

Eventually Danny starts to think of it like he's performing for those around him, like he's the star of the show he didn't realize he was in- He finds himself watching plays and operas and broadway shows and he enjoys them?? Which he didn't expect! Soon he becomes a bit obsessed with putting on the perfect performance for others, but obviously that has side effects on his mental health.

Maybe we can bring in some Ghost King Phantom? Like he becomes the Ghost King once he's graduated university or something and to his surprise, Frostbite tells him that he has a new Performance Obsession and of course this can give an opportunity for angsty spirals... Also if I'm being completely honest, the design and personality I have in my head for him is reminiscent of Furina from Genshin Impact, which I'm pretty sure was an accident, especially because I finished the newest quest yesterday... But whatever... I'll worry about it later.

If enough people like the idea I'll probably put a story and designs together, might even throw some dpxdc into the ring who knows, I sure don't! Anyway, my first time actually putting thought into an AU idea and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Let me know what you think!
