Description has issued a great call to action--she wants to please see some original DP art. I admire such a call and wanted to be part of it.

My mama, seasons smile on her memory, used to do tai chi. While I was not talented at it, I loved its grace and slowness, and I wanted to see 112 MPH Danny slow it down a bit.

Leaving at 4:30 from my brand new job (which, so far, I like; stamp me rudder, imagine that) has treated me to some spectacular skies. The background (which I didn't want to overpower the poses, so I used the airbrush) is a poor representation of one of them.

Anyway. Whether original or not, hope you like it, Perygl. It did soothe these paws to draw it.

Danny Phantom is the intellectual property of Mr. Butch Hartman; I wonder which day he ceased being a thought and came to bright life on that board.

lol, Danny doing tai chi.

Tai chi is good for him, though--the boy is too quick-tempered, and gets stressed out easily.

Thank you I had to reference the positions with some photos, but when I first started working at my current job, I saw some pretty amazing skies on the drive home. I only wish I'd made the airbrush a little more transparent. Ah, live and learn.

The FACS was a nice touch. I love the postures and an excellent concept it is, too.

Well thank you! I'm glad you like it. And thank you for the .

I had to look up the poses...but I couldn't resist putting that anti-creep stick in in place of a traditional sword. XD Anyway, hope it made you smile.

I wanted it--no, I needed it to be happy. I was pleased overall with how it came out, although there's always little things I notice afterwards. Thanks for the kind words.

I see, I like the part where he had the Anti Creep Stick. I'd be funny if he was chasing Vlad (in human form) with it. Like somehow Danny short curcited his powers and now is chasing him with the Anti Creep Stick.

ah.. the art of tai chi. Sadly I doubt I have anything more to comment on THAT subject despite my chinese lineage. xP

But nice work. x) Poses and colors were done really well, and while it's kinda weird to see Danny doing *tai chi*... you made it look.. well, nice.

Firestar9mm In reply to fantasticbouncygirl [2006-11-04 15:07:47 +0000 UTC]

I thought it was weird too, that's why I chose it--I'd never seen that kind of a pose here.

I was never very talented at tai chi. My blood snaps and fizzes and I can't abandon myself to slow movement like that. Then again, I'm Irish....XD

Thank you for the comment

fantasticbouncygirl In reply to Firestar9mm [2006-11-05 10:34:57 +0000 UTC]

welcome. ^^ I haven't actually tried the real thing myself either, but there is this Singaporean "Sing-lish" so-called short-cut to looking like a tai chi expert... you just have to mimick the fluidity you usually see in all those movies/ chinese flicks to a small extent. The rest.. well, you just have to remember the singlish words and the actions, which ain't that difficult. xP
I was being childish that day at my maternal granparents' house and fooling around with my little cousins doing those silly manoeveurs - and for a second my grandmom actually thought I was doing that real thing. -grins.

EnigmaticPenguin [2006-11-04 07:27:52 +0000 UTC]

I dunno why, but this strikes me as hilarious. It looks like he's attempting to waterbend. XD

...I think I'm hysterical at the moment. Too much NaNoWriMo... *twitchytwitch* Enigmack! *twitchtwitch* Polar bear! *twitch*

One error: picture, front and center...his thumbs are on the wrong side of his hands, both of 'em. Fists curled by your side with palms facing outward, the thumbs face away from the body. Top hand, hold your hand up like that and see where the thumb is. Unless, of course, you were drawing him with his hand palm up, in which case I pity him for the awkward position (hard to turn your wrist that way), and would say that you're a few lines short of a good palm. But I don't think that.

All in all, lovely pic. Certain poses are very hard, and you accomplished them quite well. And however poor a representation of a lovely sky you say the background is, I adore it.

Hee hee...waterbending Danny... XD *resumes late-night hysterics*

Firestar9mm In reply to EnigmaticPenguin [2006-11-04 15:15:33 +0000 UTC]

Actually, now that I'm looking at it--his hand is palm up front and center (palm is facing the sky). That is the pose (and ai agree that hurts; I've attempted it and I am not skilled at tai chi), but you are absolutely right, the palm could use more definition there.

Firestar9mm In reply to EnigmaticPenguin [2006-11-04 15:06:02 +0000 UTC]

Oh corks, I always get those thumbs wrong....*bites a paw.* I have practiced and practiced, and still my eyes bend the perspective like a camera lens so everything is backwards!

.....if I say "back to the drawing board", it may very well be my worst pun ever. And I've been known for some bad ones.

I see exactly what you mean, that does look like it hurts, doesn't it? *is embarrassed.* Well, Daniel-san didn't seem to have much fun in The Karate Kid at first, either.... But I really appreciate the critique. So many people don't even bother--they just leave those "OMG Danny is aweXome" kind of comments, which is nice, but not very helpful really.

So thank you for that, and also for the . I am honored.

I have an Avatar DVD sitting on the shelf next to my electronic candle. I have yet to watch it. I don't know why.
