Description This was just to calm my nerves. I drew alien Zim about 10 times today while my friend was over. I think I am a lot better

Can't say I'm too proud though. Aahh. May as well get to my messages tomorrow morning.

Epic. I <3 alien Zim. He's so much more adorable without the disguise.

enigmatia In reply to SnowCatManga [2011-02-07 06:40:36 +0000 UTC]

You think so? I reckon he's more adorable that way too, but I always seem to have more fun drawing his human disguise when I come to actually drawing him!

I've done a few Bishie Zims in human disguise. I can't decide if they're awesome or creepy...

enigmatia In reply to SnowCatManga [2011-02-08 06:28:52 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I've done a couple anime Zim's in the past.. it's really hard to make Zim look like Zim in an anime disguise, mainly because he turns out pretty and slender and tall like all the other animes. Zim is unique on his own

SnowCatManga In reply to enigmatia [2011-02-09 02:22:33 +0000 UTC]

He also comes out looking tall, and when I try to draw him as an alien in the same style, I have a hard time transitioning, as he's supposed to be really short, and I want him to be cute, not...tall...ish..thing...

enigmatia In reply to SnowCatManga [2011-02-09 07:40:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah as do I. Simple style-exercises, maybe once a week if not at leisure, should get your hand more fluent when trying to draw swiftly and off the top of your head - thus helping with style transition!
Aww hehe I guess maybe you would like Chibi?

Hey, feel free to respond any time! I'm not special in any way. If you can see, I reply to all my comments and don't treat anyone differently from another (unless I know they're mean or rude ).
I'm flattered to know you were inspired by my works, thank you!
Human Zim was always my fave to draw It's really coz I have this obsession with well-styled black hair

You're the one that drew this? WOW, I've loved it for a while, but never really realized who made it XD

I love the way Zim looks so...mysterious. And the awesome blackness just adds to that effect!

enigmatia In reply to gembutterfly [2010-08-02 00:12:25 +0000 UTC]

Yuh Though I don't spend much time drawing Zim as an Irken anymore, oddly enough this still seems to be a favourite to a lot of my watchers

Thanks so much! The blackness to me really helped bring out the focal point here - Zim hehe P:

Maybe it's ghost coming out of the forth dimension, seeking revenge toward humanity thus, wanting to help Zim with world conquest.

....Yeah, I don't know how I com up with this stuff. XD

I've had a week Dx
I'm trying really hard to catch up to people who I think are epic (you now one of them--just wait, I'll probably bomb your gallery when I have time)

Your original stuff looks okay to me .o.

Your style is completely original and well pulled off in I.Z, so I don't see what to say "yuck" about xD

Oh wow though Thank you!

Oh, my original, I mean, original drawings of Invader Zim, sorry! I forgot there was multiple meanings for it

Invaders-EnEmMi In reply to enigmatia [2010-05-21 13:52:48 +0000 UTC]

xD

I still think your originals are good o-o;

I have to thank one of my friends for quickly getting me started. It was a simple "I draw, you copy" thing, then I was left to rampage in attempts. I'll have to post comparisons between the beginning and now xD

It's hard sometimes to get the straight lines...being an anime artist originally I always try to add too curvy of lines xD

enigmatia In reply to Invaders-EnEmMi [2010-05-21 23:57:37 +0000 UTC]

Ah.. well, I don't have the really original originals submitted anymore XD They didn't pass to well for IZ. I'll have to prove it to you some time.

Ah, you have a friend in RL to draw IZ with you? (: Not too many people have that, I know I was lucky for it myself, I also have a friend who joined in with me on the fandom. That's really good though! My friend and I both sucked at the time but heck, now we're level with eachother at least! Comparisons though, I'd love to see! Then I could show you mine maybe XD

Ahh, you evolved from Anime eh? I did too, but I was really not good at anime to begin with XD I'm used to curves too. IZ does have curves though, it depends on what part of the style you want to copy. Like, as the seasons of IZ progressed, the style changed and changed, right until the Christmas episode. Depends on what part of the series you want to copy, see Some are more curved, some have more straight lines.

Invaders-EnEmMi In reply to enigmatia [2010-05-22 00:35:24 +0000 UTC]

I just....let my hand do what it feels like and fix it later xD

Yeah, I still do anime, but IZ is easier to grasp onto (not master) in the ways of anatomy...poses and such. I find both fun, depending on how I feel I'll draw one or the other xD

Yeah, I might scan them tonight or tomorrow...tonight's gonna be SO frustrating because I'm going to two separate things that are right after another with different friends =.=;;

It was hard to figure out the plans for.

I hope I have time to draw tonight DDx

I can see that. The coloring does have a tranquility to it and without losing the IZ look. It's great.
