Description
There's a lovely vertical pan segment in "The Frycook What Came From All That Space" of the Control Brain that sentenced Zim to exile on Foodcourtia. I think that image is made of win, nifty, and hawt, but I couldn't find anyone who took the time to put the whole thing together, so I did. Woot.Here you have it, two screenshots stuck together. For great justice.
This is actually slightly smaller than the original. If anyone wants to see the full ginormous version (if this isn't ginormous enough for you) click the "download" button.
I did the same thing with a couple of scenes of Mars in "Battle of the Planets" and of Devastis in "Tak: The Hideous New Girl" so I might post those later.
Invader Zim and its screenshots (c) Jhonen Vasquez. I just took the screenshots and glued them together, which is why this is going in scraps.

It reminds me of a spider, and it's probably because of that group of red circular eye-looking lights.

Can Anyone Say Amazing?
I love Invader Zim art, the characters and background characters are simple in general but the background all together is just simply astonishing. Some parts of the show have very, let's just say, lazy artwork because of the many color and art mistakes that have taken place in the show but when they do artwork like this it's just simply amazing. It's kind of a shame that they have to put it in two screenshots, though, and not the full thing because it would most definetly catch some attention but I'm sure the thing was too big to fit on screen anyways. Irken "customs" are so beautiful. Though the brains are kind of 'mean' by the whole banishing thing, they are beautiful robot things and just because of the beauty I would let the brains control me in anyway <3
XD
Sorry for the long comment, It's just when I saw this episode I didn't really reconize the amazing artwork. Thankyou sooo much for uploading this!!

YOU'RE GOING TOO EASY ON IT. THIS THING CAN LOAD W.O.W. AND LEVEL UP YOUR CHARACTER TO 80 FOR YOU IN THE TIME IT TAKES YOU TO DRINK A SODA.
IT'S THAT COOL.

I always thought that the computer was a lot like HK-47 fron KotOR, reluctant and indignant and not trying to hide it.

Absolutely stunning. Thanks for putting it together like this. There is a serious lack of cartoons with artwork this beautiful.

I know, you don't see shows that put work like this into their backgrounds that often. I love the art in Invader Zim.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it.

Do you know where the Control Brain is located??? Irk or the Massive??? Need to know for a fanfiction & Youtude doesn't have the episode D|
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Control Brain is located on a planet; however, there are seemingly multiple Control Brains. The one that Tak talks to, for example (if I recall correctly), doesn't look like the one Zim talked to in this screenshot. Plus, there's a script for an unaired episode called "The Trial" that references ANOTHER Control Brain, one which is actually a collection of three "Brains" together.
The Control Brains in "The Trial" are on a planet called Judgmentia, in the Spike of Judgment; based on the title alone, it seems likely that Judgmentia is a planet purely devoted to court cases and legal decisions and stuff, but we never find out much about it.
Otherwise, there's probably a lot of latitude to decide how the Control Brains function. In my own fanfic, I said that there were multiple Control Brains--at least one for each of the more important Irken colony planets, and several each on the VERY important planets like Judgmentia, Foodcourtia, and Irk itself.
As for general fic research? There used to be a ridiculously useful website that had transcripts for all the episodes called TheScaryMonkeyShow.com, but it went down. However, it's still available on the Wayback Machine. It's a very useful resource for Invader Zim fanfic research, link here:

And BadBadRubberPiggy.com used to have a GREAT screenshot database, but it hasn't worked (at least for me) in months... I'm not sure if it's dead-dead or not. If you can get it to work for you, though, that'd be great.
Hope that helps, and good luck on your fic! I've been there before, trying to look up random little details from the show, heh... If you have any other IZ questions that you can't track down the answer to, let me know, I might be able to steer you in the right direction.

P.S.: Any chance of "In Short Supply" updating anytime soon? *puppy-dog eyes*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(After a nearly two-week delay...) Actually, yes, there is a chance of ISS updating soon. A very good chance, in fact.
I've been working on it today. A lot. Chapter 30 is nearly 4000 words long now, which is pretty good. Unfortunately, not having written a word of the fic in... yeesh... nearly half a year, means that I'm a little rusty on precise plot details and some of the particulars of my own fanon universe for the Irkens.
But I'm working out the kinks in my memory, and after another scene or two and a proper--and thorough--betaing, chapter 30 should be ready to go!

That's awesome. I'm not sure, but I think there probably is a need for more control brain artwork on DA.

Oh yeah, it's awesome art. The style's great, and some of the panoramic scenes--like this one with the Control Brain--are really gorgeous.

Isn't it, though?
Incidentally, I finally found a way to look at your gallery today; after Safari and Firefox failed me, I just viewed it through a proxy server, which worked... ehn, fairly well. Really slow, though. And I couldn't log in so I couldn't comment... T_T Someday I'll figure out how to view it normally. Need to download Opera or something.
ANYWAY, the point of all that was to say you've got some awesome stuff there. And I want to know if there's a story behind the reluctant!reprogrammed!XR picture.

8DDD Story behind it? Eh... not really, just kind of a fuzzy nebula of a thing... but hmmm, now that you remind me, I might be able to relate that to other storylines somehow... mabe. 
I can't beleive you like my gallery, squeee <3
