For creepyponylover
Another commission~
The Darkraimancer has been summoned to their bliss, thanks to creepyponylover--although I might have pushed it a bit and made it more Pure Dark/Ghost. May have to do a second design if that’s the case….
Anywho, Ghost-Blend Darkrai. For the Ghost blend, I went with a lighter color for the dark gray with some black fading and a dried-blood color for the sawtooth ridge (kind of referencing a headcanon that Darkrai’s colors fade as they age). Thin arms and thin fingers, plus pronounced ribs and skeletal face add to the undead look, as does the tattered cloak tail and the sagging flowing hair. The points on the ridge are more pronounced, and some on the bottom trickle down like old blood. 
This particular ‘mon also lacks a neck, so the head free-floats (think Lewis from Mystery Ghost)—which, I think, leaves the area inside the ridge hollow like Maxwell’s body, so good storage space. And bony back as well, referencing my skeletal reconstruction of Darkrai. Because knowing underlying structure is always a good thing. 
Have spooky Don’t Starve eyes too, with ghosty aura to boot—and something approaching an opera mask because of listening to “Notes/Prima Donna” on YouTube and thought that “Opera Ghost” still counts as “Ghost”…so don’t be surprised if it likes to lurk in the attic or the basement and play organ music. 
Is that it? That’s it. I hope you enjoy your design, creepyponylover!
