Description Final-final redesign of Zigzag. I'm serious this time, no going back, so please save your breath if you're going to tell me that you prefer the old design. Or the old-old design.

She was first designed when I was eleven, back when I didn't know originality was a cool thing, and since I learnt that, I've resented her for looking like Wilt. So, we've made some serious changes. Lobeless. Eyestalk less. Only has one eye. It's kind of a combination of the last design [link] and one of the ideas I had before [link]

And I really like it.

Hope you guys do too~ c:

Oh, and it's not "Zigzag Black" anymore. It's just Zigzag.

SHE IS ZIGZAG AND SHE WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL AND VIRGINITY.

Wat.

I wouldn't recommend hugging her, she'd probably spit down the back of your shirt or something idk. She's actually part llama :T

I want a pair of yellow converse. Yellow is an awesome colour <333

Anyway, thanks so much <3

wow, i really like this new design. To be honest, i like it better than the old one, (she really did look too much like Wilt) but i love how she retained much of her original character and personality.

Her design, in the beginning, was just the result of inexperience; and what's the use in keeping a poor deisgn, when you have the ability to make it better? :I

I'm pleased with this new design, too. Glad you are, as well <3

I understand how some artists keep changing thier characters and I still enjoy it because they're amorphous; they give us something new for the eyes. And besides, Zigzag still has a place in my , no matter how she looks. I appreciate the fact that this will be her final design. You'll also be able to reflect how Zigzag has grown and developed over the years and see how that echoes how you feel in real life.

Don't beat yourself up over when she first came to you; most artists't creations start out when they're young, and even then they may base them off a character they love just to have starting point. You started out by using Wilt as reference, but you made Zigzag your own by giving her an entirely different look and personality that suited YOU. You shouldn't resent it (or her). There are so many others here that appreciate how she looked and and how she looks now. I give major props for combining her black design and the three revamp designs you previously had in mind.

This new design reflects how you've matured, milady. There's still some hints of her original features, such as her outfit, the hair (in homage to her wonky eyestalks), and LOUD personality. The exaggerated proportions actually accentuate her overall figure, and the fact that she has JUST ONE eyeball really works (with the sideswept bangs to fool you, hehe). And let's not forget the cigarette.

Overall, you've made my day by giving me this piece of eye candy. Much love and respect to ya.

One more thing: + =

I've had good fun developing Zigzag over the years, and even though I don't mch like how she used to look, as you've said, her design shows how I've matured; she's developed with me I guess, and this is just the product of getting older. So, I'm pretty pleased <3

Anyway, thank you so much; I'm glad you like her final design, and Zigzag as a character. Thanks for supporting her, throught out the past few years of developement, too~ c:

You're welcome, milady. I'll never grow tired of Zigzag. Ever since I discovered your gallery, she's always been a favorite. Along with Miss Rhubarb as well.

Do you think it's odd I constantly say "milady"? I find it amusing and a little weird...

I find it the reason why you changed her design perfectly understandable. Sometimes, I worry that my own character designs are a little too derivative, particularly King Oxpa.

RadRapo [2010-09-02 02:01:51 +0000 UTC]

Oh wut.

SHE'S PERFECT.

Dude, lopsided blushing?

Lawl, but I can't help but notice Wilt's drawn differently each time... Maybe that's just me. 8D

One more note: So she's not part of the egg-heads anymore? |D

Vampyre1o5 In reply to RadRapo [2010-09-02 02:20:48 +0000 UTC]

Aah, Wilt is difficult to draw lately. So, I'm trying my best to find a style that works.

And, yes lopsided blushing. This is Zigzag; it's lopsided everything, with her xD

And she is, it's just not as noticable under her hair~ :I

Anyway, thank you c:

RadRapo In reply to Vampyre1o5 [2010-09-02 02:46:03 +0000 UTC]

Next I suppose Zigzag will be making fun of Wilt because he can't keep a style down, once she's bored with chicken-legs. I'm sure you will, you will. Just keep at it. C:

Lawl, I almost thought she may've had a stroke in the past and that was why her blushing was lopsided and all... |D

*looks closely* Aaaah, I see now~!

You're welcome. I can't help but repeat myself; this is the perfect result of stuffing both Zigzag designs in a blender, and adding a few touches here and there as well.

Now if her hair was all super spiky (like out of control spiky), that'd take the cake.

...Crush, Zigzag? Really that open to your feelings? *shot* 8D

Vampyre1o5 In reply to RadRapo [2010-09-02 03:03:58 +0000 UTC]

Name any feature Wilt has, and Zigzag will find a way to take the piss. It's just how she is~

But yus, I'm just a bit rusty I guess. It's been a long time since I've drawn him as often as I used to.

Man, so many ideas went through my head, as far as Zigzag's facial features were concerned. I seriously considered a stroke, or a once-broken jaw that never healed properly. I thought about her never being able to stop smiling (kinda like the Joker, I guess, which pays homage to that picture I did aaages ago), or maybe just some sort of bizarre facial tick. In the end, she just has a twitchy eyebrow, and being an imaginary friend, any wonkyness can simply be explained with "She was imagined that way :I"

I also thought about spikey hair. I thought about alot of different hairstyles, actually. One pony tail, down, with a braid in it, long at the front and really short at the back. In the end I just went with piggy-tails; they add an almost cutesy look to her, which is a huge contrast to how she actually is. If you compare her sleeping face to the wide-awake-evil-mastermind-smile and wide open eye, it's clear to see that looks can be decieving~ Which is basically what she's all about.

And of course she's not that open about it; why do you think she bullies him so much? |D

'Ello, Stumpy! How goes the rattling eyesore? Bet those huge teeth of yours would weigh a ton, and is it true you're anorexic? 8D

Ah, alrighty then. I can dig that C:

She tries to be all big and tough, but she's a real softie down at heart.. really, REALLY deep down.

As a poor excuse to make everyone else (mostly herself) believe that he's nothing to her but a punching bag who probably won't do a thing about it. :3

...You really need to write something about this. I know you did the bullying one, but things could've changed since then...

Vampyre1o5 In reply to RadRapo [2010-09-02 03:36:00 +0000 UTC]

That was spot-on, pahaha.

I love this whole armour she's got built up, since I went about redesigning her. She's so much more complex and interesting *pride* What's even better about it is that Foul Larry's the only one whose got her figured out~ |D Which just makes things even more interesting.

I do want to write something, but I don't know what, yet. The bullying one was only part one of two, but I don't know if I'll even continue that. But without that, Zigzag doesn't really have an introduction (not as a bully, anyway), and I can't rewrite it, because people will be all "Meh, I've read this before *fliesaway*" and stuff |:I

Idk, I need ideas. I started on a Larry/Zigzag friendship drabble the other day, but meh, it was just ramblings |:c

Ah, thank you, sadly was fun to say. :'D

The toughest nut ever, and she's the kind of nut you have to swear at before she pops open. FOUL LARRY? Well that makes sense, considering he's like her BFF or something C:

Vampyre1o5 In reply to RadRapo [2010-09-02 22:14:55 +0000 UTC]

Lawl, seriously. I think Larry and Zigzag make a pretty good duo~ |D

I did start something yesterday called "Playground", which looks at the bullying thing again, but differently. It also looks at Ziz and Larry's friendship, and Wilt ends up getting a talking-down to, for being a bully, himself~ It's all very fun and contradictory :I

He also learns that the best way to deal with Zigzag is to fight fire with fire~

RadRapo In reply to Vampyre1o5 [2010-09-02 22:32:32 +0000 UTC]

THEY DO!

Ooooooh. I'd love to read that. I bet if Wilt would just give Zigzag a taste of her own medicine she wouldn't pick on him so much, because then she knows that he'd actually fight back... Before I'd believe that since Wilt's too mature to stoop to her level or even stand up for himself, she messes with him constantly.

Bwahaha, Zigzag's in for a world of hurt one day~

Vampyre1o5 In reply to RadRapo [2010-09-02 23:08:48 +0000 UTC]

I dunno, Wilt's "maturity" has kind of gone down, I think. Well, not so much his maturity, but I don't think he worries about being such a goody two-shoes, anymore. Not since Good Wilt Hunting, anyway. So, yuh, Zigzag's gonna get an ear full of telling off, and Larry's gonna be like "|:C", and then we get to the good stuff~ |D

RadRapo In reply to Vampyre1o5 [2010-09-03 04:04:19 +0000 UTC]

Well yeah, either that or he doesn't have to "hide" himself anymore. But he's still him, regardless. He's still a really good guy like he's always been, still really apologetic, but a liiiittle more assertive. Or a lot, it's been forever since I've seen the episodes, lol.

Then again, he's never met anyone quite like Zigzag~ C:

I still wanna read it 8D

Oh, I never meant to say he wasn't him. He's just a little more fun, now, and after the whole prankster thing, he doesn't seem too afraid of getting into trouble anymore.

And lawl, nuh, he hasn't.
