AWESOME TITLE DESERVES AN AWESOME -Aww see now I'm trying to strengthen my drawing style. It's for something I'm working on. Threw in some design elements, and then all of a sudden I'm like "Hey.. this looks ok without shading ._. ". So all in all, I made a 20 min drawing look ok as some sort of meaning-less poster.
This was a sketch I drew by following this one rule from a posing tutorial - draw loosly, don't think hard about the pose...
...And then this turns out a cool pose. Though the upward-bendy pose you see on a lot of indie/whatever-looking styles you see around enervates me

I love the graphic quality of this image. the color choice and the radiating lines create a really dynamic, energetic feel. Definitely feels like a poster of some kind.

Thank you! The shame behind this was that before throwing the psychedellic background on, this little guy had been shaded twice in my attempts to make the picture better than just simplistic flat colouring..
..at least I'm not completely displeased with this now

with that writing behind him and that pose, I can imagine him jumping over a fence and running away from Dib xD

Looks like he just tripped over one of those lines. Thankfully his spider legs activated and saved him from a nasty fall. That's something I'd probably do, trip and look like a fool trying to re-balance myself, lol.

Yeah XD And I also like the idea of jumping a fence.
SAME. Or more likely: Not attempt the jump at all LOL

I love how you've overdone the background! It's dramatic, eye-catching and very overdone which reflects Zim's giant ego. You've subconsciously paired the background up extremely well with the character's personality! However, drawing him in your style gives off an awkward feel. This also blends in with the whole concept of the drawing. Zim is as awkward as much as he is confident and egotistical.
This is how you're images should be done! 'Draw loosely, don't think hard'
That is how I draw and how I often try to explain to others how to get their art blocks out of the way. It's easy inspiration.
Overall, a very humorous and well done piece!

YEAH! Overdone, I wasn't going anywhere with it XD
Awkward like.. the style is awkward or just awkward for him to look this way? I would say whatever I did here would beat the 1,000 anime ones DX
YES and I thought I already did it, but I think now it's only for things I'm confident in, like regular, boring poses hehe. This should really help now for the new stuff.
Thank you very much!

He looks awkward .
I agree.
Really? Huh, never hurt to try for anything else though. Different people approach things in different ways I guess.
Any time!

Nice! That's an interesting twist on good old Zim I love those mechanical spider legs he has, I wish I had those. That is a good pose too, he looks frantic

Thank yew! :]
A lot of the fans can only dream of those XD I remember when I was 14 and what you could say a hardcore fan, I could have wished for those with all my might... now I grew to only hope someday in the future they make them... I mean, it seems to work A-OK with Doctor Octopus! XD [link]

Haha, exactly! They have to make them sometime... oh how they have to! The human race needs to be crawling up vertical footpaths with metal spider legs by the year 3000, or I'm going on strike...or something
