Description [link]

(points up) Go there! ^^

A scene from a fanfic written by Enigma81 on ffnet. This fanfic was called Gazitosis, and it's in the middle of being revised right now, but reviews are still welcome. ^^ Enigma was nice enough to allow me to draw some fanart for the stories! Yay! (gives Enigma a hug and a plate full of cupcakes)

This is from the first chapter, where Zim decides to taunt poor, sick Dib a little bit by lifting up his contact lens when only Dib is watching. Evil Zim. It's from Dib's POV, but I took artistic licence by removing all the other kids that would've been in the way. I just HAD to draw this scene...I had to or I would explode. (It happens to me sometimes...) ^^ I know I didn't get the angle of the contact lens quite right, but my drama teacher (who's art is INCREDIBLE! o.o) showed me how to do it so that it would at least look semi-decent. Thankies to her.

This was originally sketched out, scanned, and coloured in PAINT. Yesss....THAT Microsoft Paint. Please go easy on me. I did the best job I could do.

I'm afraid the author's removed it after many years. As far as I know it's not hosted anywhere else. Sorry!

Oh geez, I haven't read Zim stuff in forever. Uhhh...if you're into kind of an alternate-universe script-format-comedy self-insertion-romance, check out KidKourage, who may be gone from ffnet by now due to new (now old) rules against scripts. Her stories filled years of my life with joy <3 Or if you're a big Dib-supporter check out Dibsthe1. Annnnnd I know there must be more but I haven't even SEEN ffnet in years so uh. I haven't read it in years but I seem to remember this was pretty good: [link] Annnd that's about all I've got!

I NEVER COMMENTED ON THIS!?

You did an incredible job. I love the perspective, and the way you chose this particular scene in the fanfic. I must read it now. And I can't believe you used PAINT. That is amazing.

I actually used this as my wallpaper for awhile, and it lasted more tha a minute! heh heh.

Crystal-Mew In reply to VortexDragon36 [2005-12-17 08:13:59 +0000 UTC]

Thank yuuu! MSPaint? Eh...it took a while. Looking back, I wouldn't have stupidly saved it as a JPEG. >0 Ah' hate those speckles... They make everything look fuzzy.

Wallpaper? WHOO! (feels uber-privilidged (LOOK AT MY LACK OF SPELLING!)) ^___^ (sniff) I'm...I'm so proud... ^__^ It actually lasted more than a minute? I'm...guessing that's good? XD

Pweeeeeze review? ;o; If you don't, Zim will cry. You don't want Zimmu to cry, do you? ;_;

Oh, wait...I don't think Enigma has the anonyomous reviews thinger turned on... Ah, well. D: I gotta bug them about that...gahh...

Heh heh, you're welcome. Lasting more than a minute is definitely good. I'm an obsessive wallpaper changer.

You want me to review the fanfic? Akay, I will. Once I read it of course.

I HATE MS Paint. I used to make sigs for the Nintendo forums with it. It was horrible.

Crystal-Mew In reply to VortexDragon36 [2005-12-17 18:32:54 +0000 UTC]

XD I'm not allowed to change the wallpaper...mah' mom'll get mad at me...o.O

YAY! ^___^ More reviewers! We've finally got all three old chapters replaced (we because I'm Enigma's editor), too!

MSPaint I find still works better than the GIMP with some things. X3 That's the really scary thing.

OOOH! I was re-reading the summary thing for the picture of Dib that you drew, and you said how saving it as a PNG merges the layers? Well, I was wondering if maybe you could help meee...what can you save it as so that it doesn't merge the layers? I know a GIF, but then the colours are all yucky. I just don't have the patience to be able to colour everything at once in my work, but I don't know how to save them so that the layers don't merge.

You're her editor? Neat! ^^ Have you written any fanfics yourself?

Well... I use Paint Shop Pro, so I save it as a .pspimage. So... there must be a .gimp image for you or something. I can't tell ya, sorry. I don't have gimp.

Yup, ah' have...XD That's where I met .

I'm here: [link] But of course, I haven't written anything in a while...and I've been looking over my stories and just laughing at how horrible they sound to me now that I know more. XD

A...nd who said it was a she? (hasbeenaskedtoprotectambigiousnessofsaid author) XD I said "her" once in my comments, but ah' was just guessing...

Huh...I think there is a GIMP image of some type...I'm going to have to experiment, I guess. Thanks for the help! I knew there had to be SOME way to do it...o_O;;

"It's" fanfiction. Gahh...poor Enigma...but I don't know what else to do. XD I like pronouns, I can't help it.

Thank you so much! Mah' stories are weird...o_O And stupid. I wish I could say that I'm a better writer now, but in reality I think I'm a lot worse. D: Oh, well. I just can't seem to use words when I'm able to use pictures.

Ooh, YAY! ^^ Didja review? :3 I'll poke you if you don't review. I'm supposed to be "advertising" Enigma's stories. XD We both like reviews.

It's been completely revamped now. Enigma's still working on it, but the first three early chapters have been replaced. :3

Dibsthe1 [2005-10-12 16:28:18 +0000 UTC]

I like this! Really good approximation of the skool walls and floor. The colors and the grime along the walls and in all the corners are just great!

Removing all the other kids between Dib and Zim was a really good idea; they would have cluttered up the picture too much, and Dib watches Zim so closely for clues to his next evil plan he probably notices little else anyway!

If this is from Dib's point of view, he would have to have his head down on his desk (which he probably does, being sick and all) to see Zim's desk like that... I mean here he sees only the side and none of the top. If Dib was sitting upright he'd be able to see at least some of the top of the desk. (I heard this sort of thing from my layout supervisor so many times... )

Good job... really good job!

Crystal-Mew In reply to Dibsthe1 [2005-10-12 21:33:18 +0000 UTC]

Dib was on the hover-screen his dad uses; he was too sick to actually go to school, but I assumed it wouldn't be hovering all that high...actually, I didn't really think about the whole perspective sort of thing at all. (I ish lazy, you see...) Come to think of it now, he'd probably be able to see a lot more of the top of the desk than he would've had he been sitting straight up in his seat. Thanks for all the help! I shall have keep all that in mind...o.o;;

I'm obviously no master of perspective (perspective? What's perspective? ), so any help that I can get with it is muchly appreciated, especially experienced help like yours!

Thank you. ^^ And yes, you should go read it. It's very funny. Just don't get put off by the last two chapters...there were paragraph issues, and both Enigma and I are working to correct that.

(I'm her beta-reader/editor. ^^)
