Description
IT'S A WALLPAPER WHUT?
If you cut off the credit down the bottom I'll vacuum your intestines out.
Fullsize: 1498 x 1369 - Ask if you want bigger.
I KNOW. I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS POINTY HAIR. My alien Zim's never look like Zim though. Just like some random Irken that just looks like him
Tecknologic you ask? I was inspired by Daft Punk. Perfect IZ inspiration, if you ask me. Tell me if this is too dark for your feeble monitors.
Critiques are welcome. I worked my ass off on this. Don't report me for animal cruelty
It's my wallpaper now. It feels real good to have your own wallpaper you made. Previously, I just shifted from artworks I've received from some of my friends and fantastic artists on dA. I last used.. hmm, my Vaika with a gigantic lollipop by ~Invadertaj
Invader Zim © J. Vasquez ; Wallpaper by ~enigmatia
[edit]
Fixed, lighted it up a little. I feel awful for being such a dark person.

Wtfffffffffff. I tells you, it's all from pentooling with a flimsy beta program called Inkscape :K Nyeh. Colouring is nothing without the DRAWING. You should know that xD

Hehe, thank you It's pretty awesome to hear that. It also tells me to that I've got it pretty down pat, and gives me time to work on other aspects of my art that I need to work on!

Like substance. X) your coloring is good, but you definitely need to put more objects into your pieces.

Substance.. hell yeah ._. I just told someone before that I REALLY need to put more detail and points of interest in my backgrounds. They're so open and big.. errghh. I don't know really what to put in them though! I can draw a character fine an dandy, just what the heck am I supposed to do about objects?

X) wellll like this pic of Zim you did.... you could have had wires coming from the back of his chair.... and computer monitors floating around...and a lot more technology and control panels on the desk.... and something for the wallll...oh! A picture of Zim and the Tallest! XD or maybe Zim being employee of the month at Foodcourtia! (not likely but worth a shot lol) There's a lot of stuff you can spice a picture up with. Just use IZ screenshots or even your own house as a reference.

But wires DANGIT! They're so the thing featured in IZ! Thanks for those ideas! I always forget about the computer monitors. But seriously, screenshots and such as a reference? It seems so easy and I never thought of it.. thank you so much!

Hands.. you know, I take like, 5 redraws, just to get them right? You should see the original sketch.. you can actually SEE all the lines where I rubbed out the last. Too fat, too skinny, too wrongly shaped.. in conclusion, hands to me, never come naturally. In morale, I say never give up on the damned things, even after 4 or 5 redraws Fooling with backgrounds. I really suck, just because I can't seem to get the shape and perspective right. It's hard work. This one though, was relatively simple! But nobody heard that
Duurrhuuurrrr. I'd die if I went to a DP concert

Masterpiece? I wouldn't think so yet! XD I really have to push myself into putting in more detail to a background, and to fill up the empty spaces with points of interest. Backgrounds really aren't, my thing. One day, there ought to be a time for me to say to one of my own - yep, it's a masterpiece alright. One day
Thanks so much though, I was inspired by another IZ artist's wallpaper to go and make my own. Not the same style (there's was a 20 hour put digital painting, omgosh), but I just had to do a great big cell-shade whatsit for myself (: Daft Punk - fantastic. I just dream of going to one of their concerts, and just to experience the ground vibrate below your own feet from the bass of the music.. amazing that would be!

EPICNESS CREAM?
Thanks! The glow had to be there though.. the fact because Earth is blue+khaki mean't that it didn't fit in with the pink, black and green in this piece. I had to make it blend in, so I made it have a pink glowing atmosphere on the Earth. It's like it's polluted, almost! The shading, all thanks to fantastic cell-shading (: I'll never be without it! Same here, to be honest. The darkness is a lot more soothing than big bright white wallpapers you can get, where they just burn holes in your eyes xD The pose, I think could have been more relaxed, but I do say, the hand closest to the front looks pretty good in my opinion! Thanks for the comment

enigmatia In reply to eni-lume [2009-11-28 02:22:20 +0000 UTC]
Aww.. yeah, it seems that someone always have something to say for the eyes. I don't know, I probably don't see them the same as you, but there are other people who think the same about how I draw the eyes. I don't mean to disturb! I just find it easier to draw that way, since I did evolve my artworks from Anime, which has similar sort of lines like hat. I should probably get back to drawing the eyes properly though, with the full lines. Thank you for telling me

eni-lume In reply to enigmatia [2009-11-30 07:18:00 +0000 UTC]
well . its not about the full lines to me, its probably just the fact that they don't look natural at some point. they look like anime way of drawing eyes, but missing some lines i guess. don't kno what exactly is missing. i guess i have to check the original style to be able to tell what exactly.

enigmatia In reply to eni-lume [2009-11-30 08:00:24 +0000 UTC]
Ahh, kinda flat, I suppose? Or it could be the size of the irises. They could be a little small. I've been drawing them a lot like that lately. Or maybe the lines don't go far enough and they stop too short. I'll have to experiment (:

eni-lume In reply to enigmatia [2009-11-30 10:17:00 +0000 UTC]
i think it's the lines . the only thing that i kinda notice all the time is that the lines just stop, though i have a feeling they have to become thinner or something. dno
. well, it's just me anyway, i hope i'm not irritating

Oh, is that it? XD Just a bit of lighter pressure? Because I can do that! I was thinking it was the eye shape or something.. that's a lot easier to fix I've been trying different ways to draw eyes lately, so I think I might have almost got it
Ooh, you're not irritating, I really am glad someone has the time to think about what I need to work on. Half the time, even I don't know what I need to work on! It's awesome to know of people who'll give an outside look at my drawings, and tell me what they notice

eni-lume In reply to enigmatia [2009-12-07 15:41:47 +0000 UTC]
hehe, i don't seem to have that problem since my drawings are more realistic. though people keep saying that everything i draw is skinny . me no like ^^.
ah well .
well, what i mean with the eyes lines, in general a line has to start somewhere and end somewhere. i think the only thing you should is watch how different people handle lineart and how the thickness of their lines is completely different on some places. i know that illustrator is a a bitch with lines, well, depends on how you know it etc, but for me it is . photoshop's a less bitch, but still XD.

enigmatia In reply to eni-lume [2009-12-10 05:08:48 +0000 UTC]
I draw skinny characters all the time! People said the same to me too, so I tried to make them more fuller, but they really look off to me
Ooh, yess. I didn't use Illustrator for this (my trail looong ran out, and I couldn't find a portable download!), I used another program. The lineart in Inkscape can be even more of a bitch with angles, and it's never as easy to edit as it was in Illustrator. It's very unfair how they expect underpaid (if not at all paid!) artists to have to buy $200 programs.. it just doesn't seem fair!

well, it doesn't, or we can use freeware stuff that isn't that good. but adobe is gone bitch and wants too much money for it. though it can't ignore the face that every russian guy can get what he wants without paying for it. (ouch for me xD, i can do that too, it's in my blood lol).
and about skinny characters, i've seen your recent works without commenting on them (which i will do now since i have time in first time and will to do so). and you're improving a lot, they are skinny, but have shapes (i like shapes.. ^^), it's your style, but you can do it and that's all that matters . i think i've seen something about a spider queen. i'll comment on that when i find it in my 120+ works i have to check *sigh*

Wow this is so excellent! I love this! It looks like the inside of a cockpit of a ship or something like that. I really love the work on the pad that he's touching there.
I really like the earth in the background as well as the Irken symbol on the glass.
I really love the way you colored him here. I've colored like this before. I like how you used the gradients and then a low opacity black to shade things! ^^
Gotta love Zim's expression too, although not that ass-hole perverted grin as your usual he still looks pretty badass as just an asshole looking kinda guy minus the perv grin.
Excellently done! I always love your Zim pictures.

enigmatia In reply to AnnaKlava [2009-11-28 02:29:13 +0000 UTC]
Ooh, you know, I was pretty open about where he is in place of everything. It looked to me just some sort of big dashboard, that only held one control board because of how epic it's purpose may be Who knoooooows!
Thanks (: I really don't know what the Irken symbol actually is three dimensionally, it to me is just a big looming silhouette that has it's own shadow. It seems sort other worldly to me.
The gradients really do help make it look more shapely and less flat - which was the dilemma I was facing earlier about my colouring. It just made it seem more fuller, and filled in a lot and gave it an extra dimension to it already being a 2D piece of art
Oh, well, I think I've been doing these expressions now too much, now that people told me it was good.. I think I might to take a break from it for a while not that I've drawn this one! There are other expressions, I'm sure xD These just seem to suit most to me.
Thanks so much! Awww, perhaps because I don't draw too much else these days xD Not only am I still fresh in the fandom, but my OC's just don't fill that void of interest when I draw them. I'm sure I'll revert to those OC's like a lot of other people in the fandom have themselves - they'd start with the IZ characters, but then get bored and move onto their own little AU stories
