THIS IS AMAZING!!! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!! YOUR ART IS FANTABULAR!!!!

IM SO HAPPY YOU LOVE MY DOOMSDAY AU!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAUHHH 😭😆😭😭😭😆😆😆😭😭😆😭😆

Have you concept art for your comic? Btw I like that pic of Z holding that ball of a smeet. How long was the process of this Timelapse?

I do have concept art! I’ll show you! Also thank you so much! I never drew something like that before, it took me 3 hours. Surprisingly, the Timelapse process was very quick. I’ll post a video of it down below!

Anyway, time for concept art!

I began Project Doomsday early last year in August at work. Back then, I had no interest in Invader Zim like I was when I was little. I would cringe at just the thought of it and all the weird things I did involving Zim. But when I was at work, of all things, Zim just popping up in my head! It was like, “HEY! REMEMBER ME?! HEY HEY HEY” It was pretty annoying. So I did what any rational person would do! I began to draw him but with a twist of my own.

This was the first drawing of Z. You can also see an early version of his human design. It was this exact moment where my whole life changed forever. “Goddammit I’m back into this fandom again.” And I haven’t regretted it since.

These are early designs of Dib and Gaz. Jeeesus, they look terrible. Hell, even I thought it was terrible back then. Originally the AU’s artstyle was going to be very different but I went with a more 90s anime look because it’s my favorite.

Now, this drawing is pretty cool. That look of pure hatred. Aghhh, I love it!! It just screams, “When I see you, I’m going to kill you” I also didn’t know his blood was supposed to be pink so I drew it green.

Yet another good sketch! This is Z getting ready to do one of his experiments. I bet you can tell what’s going to happen to that dog over there.

Hey look it’s Gir, the zombie robot dog thing! This was an early sketch of him. Designing him was very hard.

Here’s Z bein’ silly 😛

And this was Z’s “official” design… I hate it. He looks like a stick bug and his head looks like a booger. I mean, I know I purposely designed Z to be super skinny, but you could at least tell he was strong. This… this just looks like a twig. Twig Zim. Invader Twim. New OC anyone?

And finally, Z’s official design. I have to say I am very proud of this one. He looks super deadly and stuff, I love it! 100/10.

Even though I at first regretted being back into this series, I’m happy I did. I felt like I embraced a part of myself and those silly memories. Believe it or not, Invader Zim saved my life back then and I’ll always be grateful. I love you, you green gremlin fucker.

Okay, enough with the mushy stuff, here’s the Timelapse of my newest Doomsday art! I was listening to Resident Evil: Dead Aim - Save Room. Even though the AU is supposed to be horror, I honestly felt like this song matched with the theme, at least with certain parts of the story.

[project-doomsday]

If Z is allergic to meat.. why the hell is he be smashing human flesh like he has bloodlust? And more importantly, consuming it.

And also, He completely immerses himself in work, while simultaneously deceiving himself with a fake "mission" - so as not to remember the past?

Because it is so traumatic and cruel that his actions will never be forgiven/forgotten?

Probably, he cannot return to his homeland, either of his own free will or he was expelled.

These are good questions!

In this universe, mainly it’s pork and beef that Z is allergic to. Human meat, not so much, although if he holds it for a long time it can give him rashes (that’s what the gloves are for! 😉)

As for your other questions, I guess you’ll just have to wait and see!

[project-doomsday]

This was beautiful. Please go follow this person.

Beginning of Part Two

Previously, we explored the Home section, which detailed the city of New Jhoquez - or rather, its downfall. A city plagued by crime, disappearances, and violence, struggling to keep itself afloat despite a history of failed attempts to "fix" it. built as a desperate effort to document the chaos. section holds something different. Less about the city as a whole, more about specific events - some of which may explain why New Jhoquez is the way it is. Or at the very least, why it feels so.. wrong.

Now, it's time to dig deeper.

Section: Recent News 2/4

(a standard missing persons report, another tragedy lost in the flood of New Jhoquez’s ever-growing list of disappearances. nothing special, right?)

Three teenagers vanished on March 2nd, 2008, last seen at a Dollar General at 8:29 PM. Their names were listed. But the third one.. the third one was missing. In the first version of the notice, it's name was blacked out. Redacted. Gone. But, If you high-light the text, we can see it - "Richie Horviton"

Did you catch the reference? i caught the reference. you caught it too, right? riiight?

Just like that. As if it had always been there. But why hide it in the first place? Something isn’t right, And someone doesn't want us to know. Someone is hiding it. The one who is involved in this?

this story traces back to the prologue of the comic, where the foundation for future events is laid. It’s not just an introduction but a crucial moment that raises key questions and hints at hidden connections between the characters and unfolding events.

You could read the prologue from the original creator, it’s truly well-made and perfectly captures the atmosphere of what’s happening. But if you don’t have time or, for some reason, can’t do so, I’ll summarize the story for you. This is important for analyzing the site and helping you better understand the core of it.

(Though I still recommend reading it ^^)

The Very Beginning

The boy, probably Richie Horviton, is running in panic from an unknown pursuer in an abandoned place. He finds an elevator, lifts the gate, and rushes inside. Then, he presses a button and tries to catch his breath as the doors close. A few seconds of waiting, and finally, he arrives.

When the doors open again, he lifts the gate.. but it's already late. It's here. Standing right in front of him, our dear and mighty Z.

In the next moment, claws appear just inches from the boy. He doesn’t even have time to blink before-.. The next frame is empty. They are gone. The target has been caught.

The mission is going smoothly.

What happened to him?

If you click on its photo, it takes you to this page. The same image, but now distorted, bulging eyes, and heavy glitches. Below it, an inscription in Irken, problematic to translate.. (I'm veary lazy) But the most unsettling part? The audio.

Through the interference, it's clear that no one cared about its quality. Yet, beneath the static, you can hear it - choking, a strained, strangled voice struggling to speak? It could be him, in the final moments before death.. or just before slipping into unconsciousness.

Although, after reading the text, one thing becomes clear: he's been dead for a long time.

ENTRY-17

"DERMA EXTRACTION."

In medicine and biology, Derma is a synonym for the word dermis (or corium) - the inner layer of the skin located under the epidermis. This suggests that the boy's skin was removed, either partially or completely. It implies a surgical or forceful process.

"VESSEL NOW ADJUSTED TO ATTIRE."

"Vessel" is a term often used for bodies, especially when viewed as mere containers rather than individuals. I'm sure that Z doesn't see only people this way, He sees almost everyone the same way.

"Adjusted to attire" suggests that whatever was done to him was to make his body fit something - perhaps a suit, a disguise, or even a new form.. new face.

"REMAINING BIOTIC EXCESS HAS BEEN DISPOSED."

"Biotic excess" could refer to any organic matter that was removed, unnecessary tissue, discarded body parts, or even things that made the boy human. The phrasing "disposed" makes it clear that this was seen as waste. It was not preserved or valued.

"INITIATING CONTACT."

Now that the transformation is complete, something or someone is ready to use the altered body for a purpose. Communication, infiltration, or some other sinister agenda.

You can tell right away that these are Z's notes, or a personal diary where he writes down all his work.

Conclusion

From everything we've learned, only one thing can be said.. Sometimes, in order to survive in a cruel and complicated world, a person is willing to give up their identity. But is there anything more terrifying than losing who you are? When you become merely a tool in someone else's hands, your skin and appearance become nothing more than a mask, hiding not only your true self, but also your soul. When someone is taking your place inside you.

choking the boy to the point of unconsciousness, didn’t only take his life - Z took everything from him: not just his body, but his very self. By peeling off his skin, Z created a shell from the boy, replacing it with a living cover that allowed him to blend into the crowd, yet left him out of the game, without freedom of choice. This act symbolizes the destruction of the integrity of the self, the moment when one’s inner being loses its essence for the sake of survival.

The boy could no longer be himself.. his body became foreign, his "self" became part of an experiment. The fear of losing your individuality, of dissolving in someone else's gaze, of no longer being who you once were. it is the highest sacrifice, one that comes from excessive submission to others rules and decisions.

Although.. does any of this even matter when you're dead? Why would you care at all, huh? Any moral values are useless, you're no longer alive. why regret when it’s all over...

Or is it?

If we continue reading that comic, we can see how dib tries to contact ghosts as always, you know him.. and guess what?

He succeed, with.. yeah, It's him - richie horviton.

Of course, after a light conversation, for some reason (Maybe because of the strong waves) radio through which they communicated exploded, and Dib wasn't able to find out who it was. But the very fact that he's still there, is quite intriguing.

The boy may no longer be alive, but he is not forgotten, and his struggle for peace is something Dib might carry with him, giving him the hope that even in the afterlife, there is still a chance to be seen, to be heard, to find peace.

Of course, I don’t know what will happen to him, and whether he will even appear in the future, but.. It's an interesting experience, showing that we should appreciate what we have. And that even in the most terrible situations there can be a tiny hope for something good, or at least happy-end.

All theories are just my guesses, So don't take my word for it.

(I wonder if this long monologue of mine makes any sense? I'm literally making you feel sorry for a fictional character, I'm da best)

Okey, thanks all

Thanks for reading it whole! I understand it's difficult, I see that it's difficult, and for such a big time spent I can only say thank you ^^"

Not a big reward for a bunch of schizo-theory, huh?

But still, it was fun, I just love to analyze and evaluate situations) as if my opinion is important!

So much has been said, but still I have added almost nothing new.. needs to be corrected :/

In any case, if you like/didn't like something, you can write about it, I'm online almost 24/7, will be so happy to chat with)

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW

I

LOVE

THIS ARTSTYLE!!!!!

Irkens I love!! I like seeing the contrast in their shapes when all lined up. Irkens look pretty similar to each other so it’s nice to give them some differences.

[project-doomsday]

Does Z have trouble expressing emotions?

Besides anger and rage, of course.

Yeah, because in his Colony he was never taught to express deep emotions, so it’s very hard for him to distinguish them. Didn’t help with feeling them, however.

[project-doomsday]

WOOOOW I LOVE IT!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I don't know at what point I started to get all worked up, but as soon as it happened, everything just spiraled out of control

I ended up drawing this buddy, and what's even funnier - completely naked, full-bodyಥ–ಥ

(and no, not that kind of naked, thankfully).

It's like the alien had a full-on existential crisis but still couldn't figure out how clothes work

[project-doomsday]

CHAT MY MOM DREW ZIM BUT IN MEMORY AND IT LOOKS GREAT

It can be anything I don’t care I just wanna see if it’ll work.

K thanks

[project-doomsday]

To @buritochacito

(Your ask got glitched again but this time I couldn’t even respond to it! Tumblr, PLEASE.)

Thank you so so so much for your kind words!! I’m so happy that you love my au and find it interesting!! I am honored to have captivated you with my story 🥹 I feel so proud.

And I would LOVE to see your art! Seeing fanart of my au always brings a smile to my face. It makes me feel so special to see someone create fanart of things they love, especially if it’s mine!

No words can describe the amount of gratitude I feel! This is great!! 🥹🥹🥹

As for the secrets… keep searching! Theres a lot here that’s hidden under the surface! I’d love to see what little details you can find! For starters, have you been to NJCForums.com? There’s a lot of cool facts on there that have a lot of world building and stuff! I think you may find it very, very interesting.

Again, thank you so much for your kind words. People like you are the reason I keep making this au. It feels me with so much inexplicable joy to see that my work can bring happiness to others. I thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️

[project-doomsday]

Okay for some weird reason tumblr glitched the fuck outta this message so I couldn’t actually respond to it right??? So I’m reposting it to give my response.

Very acute observation, dear asker!! It seems you’re quite good at this!! I love how you went out of your way to describe each sentence! It was very fun to read!! 🥹

Now of course i can’t say exactly say what the answer is because of spoilers but even still your theories have almost hit the mark! Well done!

In meantime I guess we’ll just have to see what the puzzle is. Perhaps it’s a lot more closer than we think, if we look inside ourselves. :)

Woah.. wow heh, it's clear that you have more experience than me in riddles. It was difficult to understand at first Reading, but I think I more or less figured it out. So I accept your challenge!

Do you mind if we go through it step by step?

«From distant voids, I carved my reign»

This suggests something that came from far away, most likely from outer space or an otherworldly place.

"Carved my reign" implies conquest, control, or domination. Interesting, who has such an insatiable thirst for power?

«A silent storm, a hand of pain»

It may refer to something powerful but hidden. The "hand of pain" implies destruction or suffering.

«Yet shadows stir where none can see»

Something hidden, operating secretly, perhaps an invisible force.

«A whispering fate entwining me»

Fate is inevitable, and something draws a person to it.

«Should I deny what lies inside»

This hints at an internal conflict.. perhaps something trying to resist, a transformation or truth?

«I'll wear the face I once defied»

this is a strong clue that a person will become what he once fought against.

So, a possible answer: Zim (or in other words, as I like to call him a parasitic alien)

I remember.. or not? (I have a bad memory) that you once answered that yes, Z steals bodies, an invader who kidnap people for experiments (or something else). Does "I'll wear the face I once defied" involve a transformation/becoming into something he resisted? perhaps reflecting the theme of your story that our beloved and innocent alien uses a child's skin as camouflage.

Phew, that's all :0

Hope i guess right

«I saw a boy, but now he’s gone.

It wear his smile, but it’s not his own.

It look like him, but it's not him.

Who would it be?»

(a little riddle for you~

or more precisely, who does this apply to?)

How interesting.

I think this might have to do for our little alien friend here!

Now, my dear asker, since we’re playing this game, let’s see you try to solve this one.

<< From distant voids, I carved my reign,

A silent storm, a hand of pain.

Yet shadows stir where none can see,

A whispering fate entwining me.

Should I deny what lies inside,

I’ll wear the face I once defied. >>

(Now my friend, who do you think this applies to and and what does it mean?)

I await your theories :)

[project-doomsday]

is chammy wamboo in the doomsday au?? ^_^ If so how would Z and dib react if chammy tried to make them both friends? :3

I think I’ll just put her in as a cameo but if Z and Dib met her I think they would both think she’d be just as weird lol

[project-doomsday]

Here’s some higher quality frames of the recent Zim animation I did

Mmm spooky~👹

[project-doomsday]

HOLY CANNOLI BATMAN!!
