Description
One of the great advantages of owning a legit set of Danny Phantom on DVD is that I have access to much, much more accurate colours used for the characters and backgrounds than if I used TV rips.Related content

I also use episodes I get off of iTunes for color refs... At least I did until an update effed up Quicktime' ability to play those kind of files.

...and that's why I don't trust completely abandoning physical media
I do wish they put out a HD release, though, albeit that might be unfavorable for them since I can already see clear pixels in some of the still images used in the episodes (which in turn suggests they did not intend DP to be in HD in the first place). You know, just like in this picture in its original size: www.flickr.com/photos/84568447β¦
BTW, I wonder what the program is they're using to do these...

I don't even buy digital games unless they only come that way.
Hartman's shows have relied a lot on solid colors, but as evidenced by the jaggies in that picture, it may not have been the best idea, even if his shows still look pretty good overall.
I'm guessing they use either Photoshop or Illustrator. I've used the latter in early works of mine and I had the same problem with clearly visible jaggies. I didn't use anti-aliasing back then for some reason... and apparently, neither do the background artists.

I was mostly referencing movies and music... with games, I'm more worried about the whole DRM thing as well as the matters of ownership (since in most cases, you don't purchase a copy of the game, you purchase a license to use it β a license which can be revoked at any time). This is why I stick to physical copies of games if I can, and only purchase digital copies during big sales (e.g. -75 to -90% off).
I suspect they left the aliasing on purpose as it helps to fill in colours on the same layer with inks with ease. The problem with DP's case is, however, that they did not anticipate (or have the budget) to ensure the show would be representable in HD. The more recent TFOP episodes do take this into account, and if you go to Flickr to check out the backgrounds/title cards they've created for them, you'll notice that their original resolution is pretty freaking insane. Reduction to 1080p then creates aliasing by default, and retains the crisp, sharp look.
Or, at least, this is what I theorize them doing. I have zero experience when it comes to professional animation so I don't really know shit.

I envy you for having the collection of danny phantom in HD

Not HD, but rather SD. I'd love to have it on HD but I doubt they'll put out a release like that.

Can we expect anymore to take up the screen? :3

I guess it'd work better with vertical viewscreens but I think the horizontal version will still have plenty of boobs in your face to keep you happy
I might release a vertical version of it as well, so that you can download that for your phones and tablets, and maybe a separate picture of just Desiree for those who want to make their own backgrounds.

I know it's just a face... But what a face! I'd like to see the rest of the picture
You are lucky having those references. You know I always have problems with colors because of my color-blindness

You're color blind? For real? Or was that just a joke about not knowing how to pick colours?

I am red/green colorblind (it also affects more shades). Here you have an example of how I see things:Β mariahgem.tumblr.com/post/6431β¦
(However, I suspect it isn't a perfect simulation sinceΒ I can see that some colors on the right are slightly darker; but I still identify them as the same color)

Whoa, that sucks big time. I do have to commend you on your talents since I could not tell this just by looking at your art
