Some slightly less abstract art. Still trying to push myself to be comfortable posting more sketchy art.
Sam and Tucker, and lots of creatures. 😆😆😆 (It's my au "Wings of the Ravens")
DON'T repost my art! 😂
If you take a look at my DA gallery, you will probably know I like to draw fantasy creatures and often let them wander around or live in towns/ cities. 😂
Ghosts in this world are really some cool neighbours and creatures. It's alright to meet all these ghostly creatures, since they can't really do any harm to humans (like Sam and Tucker here). Some of them prefer to stay invisible to humans, while some don't mind being seen (or touched) by Earth creatures at all. The very large fish-like creature and other little fishes in the picture probably often fly over the city by day, and fly lower (closer to buildings and even the streets) by night. If they want, they can find natural ghost portals very easily and then quietly leave the city. Some of them can sense portals, and some can make special "calls" in order to open particular portals (like keys to doors). Teasing these kinds of ghosts is considered inappropriate and rude. And injuring the large ghosts is something terrifying to see, since that means ectoplasm "rain" (yeah, that's literally blood rain) (gravity works here, and ghosts and ectoplasm do "fall") (but ectoplasm can float for a while, which is a problem sometimes). 🤔
I mentioned about the fish-watching activity before, and it's a great activity for this Sam and this Tucker. This post:
They also hang out with ghosts and half-ghosts, and it is actually a pretty fine thing to do in the town (which is really different from the canon, I know). Sam and Tucker do fight aggressive ghosts occasionally, if fighting is really necessary (Valerie is better at the fighting thing, honestly). Danny is probably at home (working on one of his weird things or resting or whatever). The ghosts showed here prefer to keep their distance from Danny, by the way. 🤔
Inspirations for the fictional creatures:

The large "fish":

粗鳍鱼属Trachipterus spp （幼体）.
皇带鱼Regalecus glesne.
Jellyfish are some random jellyfish. 😂
Little fish:
双带黄鲈Diploprion bifasciatum.
蓑鲉Pterois volitans.
青鳉Oryzias latipes.
Lofter:
🤔 I personally don't like some original concepts of the show's ghosts. I know some canon ghosts aren't evil at all, but most ghosts presented in the show are fierce and even malicious. Sometimes canon Danny himself is being a jerk. It's sometimes disturbing to see Danny punching the less "threatening" ghosts from the Ghost Zone. 😂I want to see something milder, so my au is freaking "mild" (it's not very angsty at least).

Human eating fairies
Concept art for school.
They are around 30cm tall with a big disproportionate "insect" head. Their hands and feet have only 4 fingers but they have one more knuckle compared to humans. All fairies have an ovipositor and are sexless.
The fairies have different heads depending on their role in the colony (there are no spider-fairies colonies, moth-fairies colonies, etc.).
For example, the Stag-Fairy is in charge of making a wooden baby, one of the things fairies use to hunt humans.
Humans living near fairies colonies can make them offerings in order to avoid being hunted. The fairies will then avoid hunting these humans specifically. However, if all the humans in the area make offerings, they will start hunting the ones who gave the least interesting gifts.
Offerings can be tools (like a letter opener or a bowl), clothes (doll clothes, cut socks...) or shelter. Clothes and shelter are their preferred offerings as they are particularly sensitive to cold.
While the fairies can live in pretty much any corners of the forest, they absolutely love human-made tiny houses that are much cozier and prettier than just living in a tree.
Fairies have a variety of ways to lure humans in their trap which takes the form of a web with an odd pattern. Despite having very little strings, it is incredibly effective as it is infused with magic.
Other examples of house offerings : birdhouses and doll houses.
Fairies have some kind of pet, big acarids that they use to dispose of waste (like human parts they don't eat).
When a human is lured into the fairies' trap, they start losing control of their body and slowly morph into an animal with a human face (usually sheep or pig). Fairies want to fatten their preys and doing so is easier with a pig or sheep's diet than a human's. It is unclear if the transformed humans are aware of their condition.
The fairies' singing and dancing is their main way of attracting humans in their trap, but when egg laying season approaches, they craft a living wooden baby. They then go into a human's house to steal a baby and replace it with their creation. The humans are affected by the magic put on the baby and do not notice the difference. Eventually, the parents will be lured in a fairy's trap as the wooden baby will try to go back to its creators, in the forest.
When egg laying season arrives, a queen is chosen : it has t be the strongest and most resistant of the colony as its body will not survive the process. The queen will be fed excessively as it begins to make eggs that will quickly fill its whole body. Its arms and legs will atrophy and become completely useless, its organs will be barely usable as well, just enough to keep it alive. Once the queen cannot hold any more eggs, it will use its ovipositor to lay eggs in the human baby the other fairies stole. This will kill the queen.
The eggs will quickly hatch once inside the baby and will start eating it from the inside. The larvae will feed and feed and, once big and strong, start shedding, becoming a young fairy.
The type of head they get depends on how much they fed on the baby.
Fairies do have a natural predator. Affectionately called "hat-worms" by humans, they're a magical being that work somewhat similarly to a mushroom. Their "hat" resembles a brain which intrigues fairies who are always looking for more food.
Once at range, the worm will infest a fairy through the holes in its chest, leaving there their "hat" to plug it. It will make it harder for the fairy to breathe (and resist). The worm will start by going to the brain to take control of it. Once done, it will start hollowing and filling the inside of the fairy with spores. It will then move the fairy close to the colony, fly high and explode, trying to spread the spores to as many other fairies as possible. The spores that do not directly infect a fairy become full worms.
One infected fairy can make a whole colony disappear, so seeing a parterre of worms is a sign of good luck for humans.
You know those chocolate covered coffee beans? I feel like those would be Shadow’s favorite desert type thing.
Except he only eats the like 80% dark chocolate cacao ones. Otherwise they’re too sweet for his taste.
Thank you nervoussaladbard! Enjoy this Art Thing. No, I don’t know what this creature is either.
