VampireMeerkat is a Dutch fan-artist, best known for her Ed, Edd n Eddy artwork at Deviantart.She focuses on 2D animated productions, with other extensively covered fandoms being Undertale, Pokémon, The Lion King; and Disney properties in general. She's also produced a large selection of lesser known original content
, with the most recognized series being DenNIM.
When the Ed, Edd n Eddy fandom was still thriving around 2008, she was one of the most influential artists in the community. Many of her ideas spread over the internet, such as her theory on what is under Edd's hat, her genderbent and teenage series, and what the parents of the characters might look like.
A distinguishing feature of her art is the adaptation of different styles and her fan-art usually looks like the original work.
This artist has produced the following:
- Multiple Ed, Edd n Eddy creations, for example;
- Multiple Cartoon Network creations in general, for example;
- Multiple Pokémon creations, for example;
- Multiple animated TV-show creations in general, for example;
- Multiple Undertale/Deltarune creations, for example;
- Multiple video game creations in general, for example;
- Multiple Lion King creations, for example;
- Multiple Disney creations in general, for example;
- Multiple animated movie creations in general, for example;
- Original content, for example;
This artist's work provides examples of:
- Alternate Timeline: VampireMeerkat may write multiple endings for a story when the "canon" ending really isn't cool, for example;
- In TSoDaD, the villain protagonist dies at the hands of his victims before he and his love interest can express their love for each other. Some of the other storylines end in marriage, him abandoning her to become king and thus please the vampire population, or her getting turned into a vampire herself.
- In DenNIM, the story branches out the moment the suffering main character is offered "a key to a better world" by her imaginary friend. She accepts it in the canon ending, but some of the other endings has her continue her life of confinement, escape the abuse years later, or getting revived in a dystopian dictatorship ruled by her friend who was real all along.
- In TSoDaD
- Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: VampireMeerkat has an affinity for stories about good-spirited (wo)men engaging with serious antiheroes, for example;
- Damy and Deirdre from TSoDaD, where Damy is presented as an unapproachable, wronged villain who gets no enjoyment out of normal social activities, with Deirdre being the opposite and set on teaching him morality.
- Orson and Melody from VampireMeerkat's Little Mermaid II reboot, where both characters are near-copies of Damy, Deirdre, and their dynamic. Some differences are Melody's acceptance of Orson's behaviour, and Orson's motives, collected mind, more developed sense of justice and morality, and the fact he's not lived a life of crime prior to the main events.
- Damy and Deirdre from TSoDaD
- Dark and Troubled Past: VampireMeerkat made multiple characters go through an excessive amount of suffering, for example;
- Damy from TSoDaD, who was conceived from molestation and unwanted by his vampiric mother for being the child of a mortal father. He grew up around physical abuse, and after his mother disposed of
his father for not raising him to her liking, she began re-educating him. - Human Meowth from VampireMeerkat's specieswapped Pokémon series, who was abandoned by his parents as a newborn and cared for by a wild Pokémon, until she was killed by humans. He managed to survive by himself for a few years, then was taken in by a gang leader, who made him do repulsive jobs for him. After spending a year learning the language of Pokémon as an attempt to impress a girl, she blew him off and started dating the criminal who did him wrong.
- Damy from TSoDaD
- Downer Ending: VampireMeerkat won't always settle with a happy ending when it's deserved, for example;
- TSoDaD, where the villain protagonist dies at the hands of his victims before he musters the courage to confess his love to his childhood crush.
- DenNIM, where a home-confined child commits suicide after years of sexual abuse at the hands of her father.
- It's Midnight, where a disguised demon murders the husband and children of the woman who saved and adopted him as a baby, then offers to be her new lover with little hinted-at choice in the matter.
- VampireMeerkat's Swan Princess reboot, where a heartbroken Rothbart (assumedly) commits suicide by letting the hero of the story kill him.
- TSoDaD
- Fix Fic: VampireMeerkat criticized and rewrote many series, movies, and characters, for example;
- The Lion King II, where the antagonists are hyenas who're still fighting for the Pride Lands, opposed to lions following Scar's aspirations.
- The Little Mermaid II, where the antagonist is Ursula's son, opposed to her sister.
- Frozen, where Elsa is explained to have powers because the real Snow Queen attacked her pregnant mother, and becomes convinced she is her real mother.
- The Powerpuff Girls (2016), where the
4th Powerpuff Girl, Bliss, has a different appearance and a more serious storyline that covers her insecurities over having been replaced with new superhero siblings.
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: VampireMeerkat created multiple male characters with long hair, perceived to be attractive by either spectators or within the realm of the series, for example;
- Edd from Ed, Edd n Eddy.
- Dee Rhymz, an original character who parodies the Gary Stu trope and is considered attractive by his surroundings.
- Garimund Mạch, an original character inspired by Ganymede from Greek Mythology and considered attractive by his surroundings.
- Snow White's son from VampireMeerkat's Snow White sequel, who inherited his stepgrandmother's fairness and has many pursuers.
- Edd
- The Mentally Disturbed: Many of VampireMeerkat's characters have some type of mental illness, whether expressively stated or not, for example;
- Damy from TSoDaD, an unapologetic murderer.
- Eddy from Ed, Edd n Eddy, who suffers from dementia in his senile years.
- Daisuke from Do Not Break, who's driven insane near the end of the story and takes on a wrathful stance.
- The Once-ler from VampireMeerkat's Lorax reboot, a haphephobic sadist and possibly schizophrenic.
- Damy from TSoDaD
- Reused Character Design: The Lion King fancharacters, Damy and Deirdre, have inspired some other characters, like Orson and Melody from VampireMeerkat's Little Mermaid II reboot, and been reused for different fandoms, like Ed, Edd n Eddy, Undertale, and Pokémon.
- Rule 63: VampireMeerkat has genderbent many series, movies, and characters, for example;
- An, Ann n Anny (Ed, Edd n Eddy), which mostly covers the female Eds' interactions with the male Kanker sisters.
- Who Genderbent Roger Rabbit? (Who Framed Roger Rabbit), which covers the first meeting of female Roger and male Jessica, and discusses the social divide between child friendly and mature rated Toons.
- Ping (Mulan), where male Mulan comes from a poor family and decides to disguise himself as a girl in the hopes he'll get married off to a wealthy man, then use his money to give his ill mother surgery and medicine.
- Animaniacs characters, like The Warners, Minerva Mink, and Hello Nurse. Minerva, called Manfred Mink, has a series of sexually charged comics featuring the female Newt.
- An, Ann n Anny
