Ghostbusters fan characters Ivy and Xaphon (Patreon)

 What we have here is a small birthday gift fan art drawn by StickyMon I had done for my friend Ivalinajadenewandimproved  who has been my friend for quite a while and she has told me that she’s  had a lot of rotten birthdays and so this year I felt that she needed  something to help her smile. 
 

For a while she told me about a  Ghostbusters fan character that she designed named “Ivy”.  At first,  when she told me about Ivy she was simply a graduate student working  under Dr. Egon Spengler.  But after a while I came up with the idea of  adding a supernatural edge to Ivy, namely making her a succubus.  I  think it was because I was partially inspired by “Viper GTS” or it could  have been “World of Warcraft” but I always liked the idea of Ivy being  able to sprout wings, a tail and horns and being able to do more than  just assist Egon in the lab. 
 

Her succubus outfit was  something I came up with, once again slightly inspired by the likes of  Lady Death, Vampirella and so on.  Even though I’ve always felt that  women in fantasy need better armor and such, but then again, she’s a  succubus so I think I can get a pass on that.  In addition to that I  wanted her to have a collar because part of Ivy’s backstory is that  she’s bound to Egon Spengler and his family so the collar is both  practical and a symbolic symbol of her servitude to the Spengler  family. 
 

My friend had done several drawings of Ivy over time  but I also added a few sketches of my own and finally, when her  birthday rolled around, I decided to have StickyMon  fully render the concept of Ivy and her succubus form Xaphon, which is  the name of an angel who “fires the fires of hell”.  And I’m certainly  glad that she loved the concept and it made me even happier to know that  she loved it when it was drawn up.  The next step was to color it. 
 

The background, I borrowed inspiration from Dan Schoening  who did a lot of artwork in which the characters were against a  background but were standing on a platform that had the Ghostbusters  logo on it.  So I used that and went from there on the background. 
 

So, there you have it everyone.  And I say it again, Happy Birthday, Ivalinajadenewandimproved
