#there's two zims.

Read from the top-down, not side to side:

Left strip: the pak is rewarding Dib for taking care of its host 😌

Middle: pak is touched to learn that much love is stored in the Dib 🥺 (Dib views the pak as zim-adjacent and he's not wrong)

Right: that scene from the comics where Dib is begging Zim for poop cola. With blank thought bubbles neither want to actually say, for you to fill in your own blank. I just thought it would be funny if Zim was being a lover boy and the pak is like "NO! Keep it SMALL!" But Dib is ALSO being a little lover boy 😌

OH BOY 2 AM *posts zadr*

I actually drew this about a week ago maybe. In a walmart parking lot on very little sleep.

This paper is a little transparent... You can literally. See. The billford behind them. It's ironic, because I actually see those two ships as being opposite sides of the same coin.

Headcanons on Irken romance culture range from "irken couples are commonplace, but not shown" to "irkens will literally be beheaded if they're caught holding hands"

I went back and forth for a while, but my best idea on it is "Red and Purple specifically openly love each other, but are grossed out by literally every other couple that's not them and will casually throw anyone doing PDA out the airlock"

Style experimentation feat. zim and dib (rough chronological order). This is the most fun I've had drawing in a long time!! Still kind of in shock over it.

This all started from Two Things: A.) I've been looking at animatics in preparation to make a ✨Portfolio✨, and B.) I saw some fanart that had me making heart eyes and I still can't stop looking at it.

When I first started this invader zim kick a couple months ago, I didn't think it was going to lead me down this path. I thought I was going to draw some of the characters in "my style", and eventually move onto something else. I don't know HOW it ended up being this sort of retrospective muse for me, where I'm challenging myself and trying new things. Maybe iz isn't the cause, maybe this would have happened regardless of what characters I was drawing. But here we are.

And I am so so so happy for it because I USED to draw like this all the time!!! This is what my sketchbook used to look like!! And somehow I just?? Forgot? That I could draw this way. That there wasn't anything stopping me. And that it would be so FUN. You can literally draw, and make the characters less detailed, but simultaneously more exaggerated and expressive, AND you can make more drawings in less time?? Ive always been a quantity over quality person when it comes to drawing, and i think its the animator in me that loves drawing like that. I was drawing all day yesterday. I didn't want to put the pencil down, and it's been a long time since I've felt that way about drawing. I had so much fun and I don't want to draw any other way ever again...That's just how I feel right now at least.

I swear, I probably come off as the most wishy washy person. First I messed around with zims design multiple times, now I'm inking stuff, now I'm drawing cartoonier. THIS IS NEW FOR ME I SWEAR... its been a long long time since ive let myself draw this way. I guess I just hadn't realized how much I was restricting myself.

Anyway, rough chronological order. The first adult dib page (second to last image) was actually the first one I drew. You can tell from the last page that I used the shapes n such from the kid dib on the older dib to make it look more like him. The big forehead is actually pretty crucial lol
