Description
FULL VIEW AND READ. Pretty much self-explanitory.AND REMEMBER: NOT ALL IRKEN CHARACTERS ARE INVADERS.
Picture and character used for this: [link]
It's probably a crappy one, so it won't help much. D8 Especially on the face part, I got lazy at some point. Sigh.
I hope it will still help people. ^^ I was bored, so I whipped this up for the ones who have trouble making a character.
..Eh. I should try putting up something more useful than this. XD; Sorry 'bout that.
..dA's categories are messed up.
ENJOY. <3

Edit: Forgot to colour part of Acid's scarf. 'Scuse me.

xDD I haven't, but at least I hope to help people with this. I make a shitload of characters myself y'see, and lots of people were asking me what the fuck I do to make my characters so.. Interesting. :I
I'm glad you think so! 83 It was no problem.

Thank you! :3 I really like to make tutorials, when I help others it always leaves me with a good feeling. I also noticed lots of people had trouble making an original Irken character like me so I wanted to fix that.

For a "tomboy" you sure love hearts. >>
Anyway, great guide you made here. I think it'll be quite usefull for the new people in the fandom in creating an Irken OC. C: I think it'll help them a lot. Let's just hope whoever uses it is creative enough to use his own designs rather than steal form someone. xD Hehe... one thing you didn't put though is variations in head shape. xDD Most OCs go with the simple Zim head shape... Try including the other head shapes too, maybe we'd see more variety than just clothing and facial features. xD Man this was pretty damn long... I'm gonna try expanding it by adding some useless content. xDD
Although, I do admire your creativity when it comes to character designing. I would have never known where you got that design for his antenas until I saw this. I think you have some of the most unique looking characters in the fandom. Let's not forget all with easily understandable back stories and interesting personalities. xD Mine are bland... You complete that empty spot. <3 (now you can complete me all you want... >> Let's go somewhere more private lol jk XDD )
So yeah, nice work on this one. C:

D8 I DUN, I JUST LIKE DRAWING THEM STFU LOL
Indeed. C: And yeah, I hope so. xD Stealing be badd.
..Yeah I should've done variations of headshapes. XD; But it is because I'm not as good at it as you. The most 'special' headshape I've ever draw is Raf's, and I use that one for Vortians too dammit.
I'll probably make a seperate tutorial about it when I feel like it. 
Thankies lol. :'D Hehe, I get most of my antennae designs at random though. This one I needed to have a little help with, y'know.
And thanks lol. 8'D Really? I don't think I have SUCH unique looking characters. xD I know people I envy concerning designs, damn. Just, damn. XD; But I must admit, backstories and personalities are FUN to work with.
Daww. >w<

You're welcome xDD BAH you do... i think they're the most unique looking and most easily drawn too with understandable back stories lol. xD

Great guide
Though I was having a hard time reading the red font on the teal background. It could be just my monitor, but my eyes were almost going teary XDD
(Btw, ingenius antennae design. I would never have thought of that! Although I have those 3 symbols stuck all over my school books because I'm a crazy lunatic XDD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True that.
XD Ah, it probably clashes too much. Sorry about that, it was the only colour that worked at least a BIT.
( XD Haha, thank you! It probably takes some imagination. )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, it's just teal's near opposite is red, and I guess in combo with the stripy background, it does that. Did you try a transparent white? You don't need to fix it or anything, as it is quite readable
No problem

Ah, I see. XD I just picked the first the best colour I could find, actually.
