Description
Gravity Falls is starting to rival Invader ZIM for my new favorite show. So to celebrate this useless development, why not draw a crossover?
Here's to an awesome second season of Gravity Falls, and maybe even a completed second season of ZIM? (LOLnever)

I love the colours on this!
Great job with the markers, i know those can be tricky, but you gave this piece an awesome cartoon-ey feel.
I don't watch any of the shows, so i can't vouch for accuracy, but i can say you did a pretty solid job with the overall compostion!
Great work ^^

Love the piggie!

Thanks! I used copic markers, actually. They make the best cartoons. And yeah, Waddles is cool.

Those copic markers get expensive, I hear?

Yup, but worth every penny.
(Plus they're made in Japan. And we all know the Japanese make some good stuff

Ok.Let's see...And sorry for the long wait
First of all...The drawing overall looks pretty good,and the idea of the crossover is good too.
But I won't be lying:at a first glance I didn't understand what was happening,and maybe I don't understand now either
So let's see if I get it right: ZIM keeps Mabel,that robot that I hope is called Gir (sorry if I didn't get it right,I never watched Invader ZIM) and Waddles in the Anti-Gravity Cell.Am I right?
Ok,a little question.I notice that the cell and the floor where Zim stands are not on the same level.I'll suppose that that's how it was meant to be.Also,the wall of the anti-grav cell,if broken,would be leading to the outside of the spaceship or plane or whatever that is.So,from your drawing,I understand that the vehicle looks,from above,something like this: www.sumoware.com/images/temp/x… (well,I'm reffering to the edge that we can see in the picture).
I assume that you wanted the edge to be straight (I'm so so so sorry if I'm wrong ).In case I'm right,it would only look right if the two lines would be parallel,so the angle between them,if seen right from above,would be 0.
Also,Mabel and the 2 other characters look like they're really REALLY close to that glass wall,but I don't see any sign of them of them touhing the wall.I'm just mentioning this,it's not a bad thing or anything.
BUT if they're so close to that wall,on what are they letting a shadow?On that wall across the room?In that case,the shadow should be larger and not so bold.Or maybe it shouldn't be at all.
Or am I wrong?Are they OUTSIDE the cell,and the shadow is on the glass wall?Then,why isn't ZIM floating too?
In any of these cases,it's not very clear to me where the light source is.And my personal opinion is that the shadows should be colored with a darker shade of the color of the surface the shadow is on.Like this,when the shadow is just black,it looks like the light is really bright and unnatural.If you don't have an instrument of a darker shade,I recommend you to use a HB pencil for the shadows.
God,it's getting long.
If we were talking about shadows,this: www.sumoware.com/images/temp/x… shadow looks a bit off,like his legs are not starting both from the same point,or like his body is very big,but his legs are VEEERY thin.I don't know,it just looks a little wrong to me. I'm sorry.
About the glass.
This is broken glass : cdn.desktopwallpapers4.me/medi… .
This is also broken glass (a thicker glass) : upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
As you can see,the main lines of the crack are straight,and from them there are flowing a lot of more lines.A LOT.In your drawing,it doesn't look like it's the glass cracking,but more like it's some plastic being cut.As that being a window of an air vehicle,it sould be shoun how thick it actually is.I strongly believe that you should see the edges of the crack as the edges of many individual geometric shapes,and draw them according to the thickness you want the glass to have.
And it seems like the boy was entering through a hole previously made,because Dipper's legs didn't hit the center of the window,but a point under the center,and the hole would have been like a circle with the center in that point.
Also,more than sure he would have been injured by the cracks and their sharp edges.
Dinamically speaking,your drawing is pretty good,cause it shows very well the movement of the characters.I like their expressions,they're definitely a plus.
I hope I understood the drawing right
If not,please excuse me I am a little dumb sometimes,and I might not get things right.All the people make mistakes.
And VERY VERY VERY sorry for being so rude and harsh I hope you will forgive me.
I also hope that I helped you,and that the information I wrote is correct and useful for you.
And sorry for the long comment.And for the grammar mistakes.
Please ask me,if you have any questions and if I didn't make something clear.
And please tell me if I got it right.If you don't,I'll never know,and I wouldn't like it very much (selfish me )

I seem to get it. Make the glass, shadows, and positioning of everything better. Good tips, and I'll be sure to study up on broken glass and perhaps even some basic physics for Dipper smashing the window. And yeah, I screwed up on Dipper's shadow; that's one thing I noticed when I made it but sadly couldn't change it.
There's no need to apologize, it's almost impossible to offend me anyways. If the criticism is constructive, I'll be happy to take it. Thanks for the advice!

I'm sorry if you're upset. I hope you're not,but my unfunctioning brain can't decide if you're sarcastic or not when you said "Good tips" (Maybe it's the angry Taiga staring at me that makes me think you're sarcastic,sorry).
But I guess you weren't,so all I can say is: I'm happy I could help!I'm looking forward to seeing your next drawings!
