Description
Please credit back to the original if you use this reference sheet layout! Thank you!Stop copying Wik, people! Try to come up with your own character!
I desperately needed a new reference sheet for Wik so I nabbed one my my doodles of Wik from my margi-doodle dump and finished it up.
Wik's Origin: I made Wik about three years ago. She started as just "Invader Wind" and was just me drawing myself as an Irken. It wasn't until I started incorporating her into my stories as a sort of alternate me that I began developing her character. It was with the help of Icewolfpreen that she came to be called Wik instead of Wind. I thought the name sounded good and similar to Wind so it stuck. At first I wasn't going to make her an Invader, after all it is the most cliche thing you can do in creating an Irken character; but after thinking about my own personality and taking a very good quiz (the ones you can't manipulate to get the answer you want) and having it give me the title of Invader (out of my mom, sister, brother, and Icei I was the only one to get that result) I caved and made her an Invader.
Side notes about Wik: I didn't add it in the bio but Wik also tends to create unusually strong attachments to certain things and individuals (this is rare though due to her distrust and dislike of almost everyone), and she just has an overall attitude of "I don't care".
In my defense: Wik has the exact personality of myself, she wouldn't do or say anything I wouldn't, so I don't want to hear any bull crap of "she acts just like Zim". No. No she doesn't. She acts like me.
I also made Wik very plain and simple; just your average Irken, to avoid creating a Mary-Sue. And if you're gonna b**** and whine about "she looks just like Zim" then I dare you to turn on the Nightmare Begins or Battle of the Planets, look at all the other Irkens you can see, and then come and tell me she "looks exactly like Zim." Irkens are clones and most of them wear the same thing, so you can just shut up about that!
Also! I don't believe the "ten Earth years to every Irk year" bit and I don't think Wik is 200 years old. Zim is an adult (that crap about him being a teenager is just crap). He acts very immature, but he has essentially gone through all his "schooling" and was an Invader for a while, and I highly doubt that the Empire would be sending adolescents out to invade other planets. The Tallest are the same age as Zim too, and they certainly don't strike me as teenagers. I'd say that Zim would be in the equivalence of his early or mid twenties, and yes I do know that he is 160 years old.
I know it was a stretch to make Wik smaller then Zim too, but I thought to myself "well, I'm a pipsqueak in real life, so it'd make sense if I was that small translated into an Irken". Also, I read once that Invader Tenn is supposedly a tiny bit smaller than Zim but she was still allowed to become an Invader, heck, she even got the most important mission!

Excuse me, I don't want to bother you, but who has been copying your OC?

I'd rather not give out the name in the comments, but I could note you it if you really want to know.

No, it's fine, but I just want to say that your OC looks like a normal irken, except for the eyes. So it would be easy for other irkens to look similar. Not trying to be mean.

I don't mean that people are copying her appearance, I mean that they are copying her personality and individual drawings and stories about her. I made her look like a regular Irken on purpose.

Oh! Well, I saw someone's OC named Una and I did see some similarities, but I'm sure she never intended it to be that way.

TheAmazingVee In reply to AspenWynd [2014-10-29 23:24:27 +0000 UTC]
But I did also see some other OCs that were obviously copies.

I must commend you for managing to create a unique, adorable OC while still sticking to canon and creating your own original, awesomeΒ style. <3 Awesome job! Keep up the great work!

They look more like a turquoise color to me. Ah well...
Not a bad design here. At least she doesn't have exaggerated antennas and human-like features added on to her like some other Irken OC's that I've seen.

Yes, I really don't like designs like that. I tried to make Wik more believable.

Yeah, I could never understand that myself. Though I'm not a big fan of Irken OC's, I don't mind yours.

XXD Thanks! And yes, in real life I'm very small, so I made Wik very small.

Im very tall so I made my irkensona tall. he could be a tallest with his height. 5'8"

AspenWynd In reply to GPLeader [2014-01-31 23:47:10 +0000 UTC]
That is tall! I always figured the Tallest were close to 7 feet. You know, if Zim is the same size as Dib and Dib is 12 and short then we can assume that Dib and therefore Zim are close to 4 feet tall or so. Comparing Zim next to the Tallest I've come up with the 7 foot thing.
...I've overthought this...

AspenWynd In reply to GPLeader [2014-01-31 23:52:25 +0000 UTC]
I'm sorry, I really just don't have time to do requests. And Jhonen Vasquez has stated that Dib is 12, in sixth grade.

AspenWynd In reply to GPLeader [2014-02-01 02:05:47 +0000 UTC]
No I don't do requests at all anymore. I have a kiriban up at 100,000 views though and that's coming up pretty fast, and I'll sometimes do a few art trades every blue moon. Those are really the only ways to get free art from me.
