#ectoimplosion24

[blobghost]

This was a wild ride but here we are! It was a fun time and I appreciate @carelisswriting who made an absolutely awesome fic for my art! A special thanks to the other @ecto-implosion mods who encouraged me to actually try my hand at art. It was fun!

Link to carelisswriting's fic!

Ecto-Implosion '24 fic is OUT!

(or, uh, the first chapter is at least!)

"It's a school night. It's dark outside. It's cold. Green— fog?— has invaded the whole house, and now he has to get his parents to tackle whatever that problem is. ...The only problem is, Danny woke up alone in his bedroom, and he can't seem to find them. Like. Anyone. Anywhere."

💚👻💚👻💚

Happy Ecto-Implosion, everyone!! 👻💚 I told y'all there was secret fic in the works! My partner for this project was @minnowmarsh, who not only gave me something great to work with but also was very open to spooky adaptations, haha 😄 Find their art here on their blog, @minnowmarsh, and find the fic right now on ao3!

This will be a daily-update work until I run out of fic to post! Have a happy posting week, and happy, uh, imploding! ...Wait, that sounds wrong—

Ecto-Implosion Time! (1/3)

Take The Stars And Show Them How To Glow by Ikira

@ikiracake and I worked together for this year's @ecto-implosion ! Thank you for choosing me! (ﾉΦωΦ)ﾉ

It was such an amazing experience and while at first the project seemed relatively simple, the plot inspiration bunny evolved into a fluffy hydra that will be published into three separate posts for each chapter update.

Be sure to check the phic, Ikira did such an amazing job and deserves the recognition, so gogogogo!

(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Under the cut, some trivia for y'all delight!

@tourettesdog's Little Baby Man took residence once again in my brain and decided he wanted to become the mascot of a team of magical girls! And, of course, Dani didn't want to be left out, so she got her own little baby form (again)!

The crystals at first were intended to be similar to a gem/crystal formation, but nothing I was dishing out satisfied me at first, so I went treasure hunting on google and inspiration hit me: since the ribbons are moth-like, why not using a cocoon-like gem as if it was a Swarovski? (Thank you @teacupsandstarlight for rubber-ducking me for those irl.)

It was Ikira's idea to make Dani's theme color lilac and I ran away with it like a chipmunk on cola, so thank you again!

Hope y'all looking forward tomorrow's update, things are gonna become... interesting...

Ecto-Implosion Time! (2/3)

Take The Stars And Show Them How To Glow by @ikiracake

Time to break out the grown-up pixie-bob panties! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

(Or at least not full grown-up for most of the Team...)

Like yesterday, trivia under the cut. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

The first drawing I made of the Magical Girl AU were Sam and Tucker's Final Forms on my sketch pad, just for fun. But then I realized that I could use them for @ecto-implosion!

...But things escalated quickly after that. (^～^;)ゞ

A clear image of what I wanted to do popped up in my mind and then from the first duo, the Team gained members and got bigger and the concept of not being at full power took hold and then...!

Well. You'll see next chapter.

〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜

(Oh, can any of y'all guess how many and which detective-references I put in Wes's design? 👀👀)

Ecto-Implosion Time! (3/3)

Take The Stars And Show Them How To Glow by @ikiracake

The only thing that came to my mind to comment this post was this meme (sorry not sorry 🤣):

At long last, everyone at full power!!

...or are they?

Spoilers/Trivia under the cut!

At long last, Val my gal at Full Powaaaaaa!

(๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

The initial reasoning for Val taking so long to reach her full potential came from a brainstorming sesh on the EI server with the other artists, because I had no Idea how to design the Final Form.

Everyone had their interests and quirks fitted in their outfits and designs, but Val was just in an alt version of her Huntress suit! ( ≧Д≦)

Due to poor show planning choices, canon Valerie Gray has no interests, hobby or little details to make her a well-rounded character other than a martial art expert who could kick your ass into the next week and used to be a snob/A-Lister.

Yes, that made her a blank slate to paint in any way I desired, but it was completely unfair to her!

But then @faerynova gave me the nudge I needed to think deeper into her character:

consider: valerie herself doesn't know because she painted her entire identity around being an a-lister and fitting in and then around revenge and by god does she need to sit down and figure out what she enjoys and how to enjoy things for herself

That made me think back of a past fic of mine, where Val's Grandma was from New Orleans (thus the jacket and the tignon headwrap).

AND THEN!

Valerie Gray is a Pro with her Hoverboard. It wouldn't be too much of a leap for her to start skateboarding for a challenge, since the laws of physics are more pressing with "analogic" tools instead of "cheating" with ghost-related ones.

So, Skater Girl Val! 🙌

As for Tucker, like I said in the previous post, this was his original-do, because my man deserves his past power-ups to be recognized!

(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

And last, but not least, Jazz!

She's a teenager, she deserves to act and look like it!

Thus Ember-style makover, still retaining her science roots and interest, but not chained by them.

(◡̀_◡́)

I think that this is all, for now.

This @ecto-implosion was a blast, I had so much fun working with Ikira (thank you again for choosing me! 😊) and I cannot wait to see what next year has in store!

Happy Imploding Everyone!

Ecto-Implosion Time! (Extra)

...So. This one should be a surprise for @ikiracake as well, because I didn't tell them that I made it in time for the end of @ecto-implosion's posting week.

꒰(@｀꒳´)꒱

I still have no idea how I managed to make this one so pretty because. I like it. So Much???

*goes feral*

Here are the links for the previous posts with related chapters, thank you again Ikiracake for Imploding with me! (Also, thanks @teacupsandstarlight for rubber ducking me on the art side! 😘 )

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Fic

(One last time, Trivia under the cut!)

This, y'all, was the whole reason I made the Team so large in the first place.

The freaking Ginyu Force Pose.

I regret NOTHING!! ꒰(@｀꒳´)꒱

That being said, now that the fic and this drawing are both finished, there is one last trivia about the color choices I used.

The Team has all the primary and secondary colors among them:

Tucker is Yellow

Wes is Orange

Val is Red

Sam is Purple

Jazz is Blue

Everyone is Green (skinned)
