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!

You typed priorities three times. I'm not sure if that was intentional, but it was funny.
And yes, I will continue my work this weekend.

Yes, twas intentional.

Yes indeed. It happens when you're in a gunfight, believe it or not!

Wow, really? I've never been in a gunfight so I would have never guessed!

I had to incite one myself so I could do the proper research. The jailtime was totally worth it. My ruined arm? Not so much.

Wow. That's crazy, man.
Did you have to travel through space for research purposes too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No. For that, I just smuggled my younger brother into a NASA rocket and had him radio his observations back to me. He's fine. I think.
...
He's saved, so he's going to heaven. It's cool.

Oh, thank goodness. Whew... I was worried for a second.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, there's no need to be worried. As you can tell, I do all my research responsibly.

Wow, that's so convenient! Maybe they'd be interested in helping with the movie as well! You should ask.

It is a result of the battle against the Hive-Mind (in sequence 13) when the Hive-Mind launches an assault on Defective Area 9.

Oh hey idk if you seen this picture but I post an older drawing of some defect that I made a long time ago and one of them name was Psst and he had a robot mouth thing and robot legs (not like merps of course but still) I was actually gonna make a shipping Romance between them and I just want to know if that's ok with you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can do that if you want. 
But don't expect me to fave it or anything (because I still don't like shipping).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Nice! can't wait for the new and improved concept art guide!

Thanks! I can't either.

To be honest, I'm not sure if making the legs 3d is going to make them less taxing to animate. Not to mention there are an elite few people who re good at 3d animation. I tried to figure out how to rig a poseable model for a week and couldn't. And for someone who figures things out quickly usually, that's a problem
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, it's not a problem for me personally. If all else fails, I will do it myself, easily.
No, Merp's legs are not going to be complicated to animate 3d... THAT award goes to the Master Control Brain.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Legs are the best, amirite?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. Especially robotic ones. Except when you can't draw them. Then they are just frustrating.

I just drew a quick sketch of Merp last night on flipnote!
Can't wait until her character sheet is finished. Looks great!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cool!
(and I can't wait for the finished model sheet, either! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll show you drawing when I get the chance (later tonight). I also gotta finish that art, man.

It's looking really good with all of the little changes and better quality.
