Description
Invader ZIM: The DOOM Movie!Character Concept Art
Item Number: CH_Sp_01-051
Name: "Merp"
Description: A defective who has been forced to work as a snack slave in Defective Area 9, spending day in and day out stamping out sodas and candies for the Tallest. But she has a bigger vision: revolution! Merp hopes to lead the other defectives in an uprising that will free them from the chains of the Irken machine once and for all! Now, if only the other defectives actually cared...
UPDATE 4/14/2015 - I added her final colors AND some of her final poses (minus the spider legs) as proof that I am in fact working on this character.
ALSO, this is her final head shape, which I think turned out nicely.UPDATE 4/19/2015 - YAY!
Her legs have been added! Gah, they were giving me a TON of trouble, but I finally got the hang of drawing them. 
Practice makes perfect! Now all that's left is her expressions sheet and a beat-up version of her.UPDATE 4/21/2015 - Fixed some minor flaws in her turnaround table (legs missing the caps, a messed up Defective Symbol, stuff like that
). Expect her final model sheet later this week! 
UPDATE 4/22/2015 - Bam! Added what she looks like when beat-up. Expect expressions soon (probably today or tomorrow), and - after that - perhaps a few specific notes regarding the character. Then the model sheet will be complete!
UPDATE 4/23/2015 - WOOHOO! It's done!... the drawing part, anyway.
My final step will be to add notes all over the place, pointing out things that I want artists to pay attention to when storyboarding or drawing or whatever, but - other than some extra notes - it's finished! UPDATE 4/24/2015 - DONE! DONE! DONE! DONE! DONE! DONE!
UPDATE 8/24/2015 - Fixed some typos that someone pointed out. Thanks!

I noticed this when deciding on bruised color for Tak, but didn't have time to tell you until now.
I think you listed the bruised skin wrong, R:100 G:120 B:160 is a blue color. For Tak I removed 1 from 160.
Also, why do you have the white of the teeth as 250? I think on the RGB spectrum pure white is 255.

Ah, that's a typo. You're correct - it IS supposed to be 100, 120, 60.
Additionally, the white teeth ARE supposed to be 255. That was another typo. I'll be fixing those right now. Thanks for noticing.

so...I noticed you skipped guidelines on the beat up 3/4 view...does that mean I can skip them for the variations of Flabberman that only need a 3/4 view?

Indeed. Heck, why do I need expression charts when I can just use emoticons?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a great idea. While you're at it, why not replace the voice actors with text-to-speech?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And we'll just use screenshots from the show as animation puppets.
Dude, this movie could be finished in just a few months with these improvements.

I should totally release a joke version of the film as a milestone celebration!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I SHALL! I'll set up a sort of reward system for our progress.
Like, a different reward for each level of progress.
Did we finish voicework? Okay, I'll release a metal cover of the "Santa" song.
Did we finish the concept art? Okay, I'll turn one of the episode ideas I had into a fanfic.
Did we finish storyboarding? Okay, I'll turn one of the episode ideas I had into a comic.
Did we get preliminary animation (rough animation) done? Boom - here comes the intentionally cruddy version of the movie.
Did we get done with animation? SURPRISE I'M RELEASING THE ACTUAL MOVIE! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have so many short animation ideas to promote the movie. XD
The surprise animation I'll have to redo in the future, the voice orphan commercial, and I'll probably make an 'ugly' version of the movie. It will be 30 seconds long, but, I think that's all we'll need. Like... "IZTDM in a nutshell".
