Description
UPDATE: 8/23/2016 - I redid it after the first round. Here's to hoping the overall design has improved! 
CALLING ALL INVADER ZIM FANS!
I need to know; which one do you prefer, and - specifically why?
-What do you like most about the one on the right?
-What do you like least about it?
-What do you like most about the one on the left?
-What do you like least about it?
LASTLY,
-If you could take the best of both worlds, what features would you keep from each drawing to combine into the best version possible?
Please let me know! I gotta gauge you guys to settle on the best ZIM design possible!

The one on the right looks so much sleeker and more Jhonen-esque, a lot more reminiscent of the show's second season. The one on the left sort of gives away the fact that this is a fan-made animation, which the one on the right hides a lot better.
I vote the one on the right.

Understood. Thanks for your input!

Alright. Thanks for letting me know!

I say the one of the right.
To me the thinner lines look better, I think it might be because they seem sharper which makes me think of the show more...buut I'm not sure ^^'
Anyway good luck deciding on the style<3

I saw what it looked like yesterday, and today the newer version on the right looks amazing! I like the different shading you did on the head and eyes! And the legs look much better! (Before, the legs looked a bit like needles when they hit the boots.) plus Im glad you gave him a more broader forehead and his torso is a lot more better looking! Much more shorter, yet not too much to make him a...well..."bobble head" character!
However, I think his feet look like they are on backwards. And I think his antennae are too skinny. But the one on the left, his antennae look too fat. Maybe try thickening the antennae on the right, but not too much. Also, his head seems just a weeee bit too small, (that could just be me, but in most of the episodes I've seen ZIM's head seemed about a millimeter larger than the head on the right.) and I personally liked the pouting lip you had before. But I also like the lip you have now, so if you could use both for different expressions, that would be cool.
The Zim on the left, I Like the slightly bigger head, and the collar, and shoulder pads. Not a huge fan of the eyes and legs and arms and antennae on the left one.
For a combination,
If possible, try to make the head on the right one just a teensy tiny bit bigger, as well as the collar (just enough to give it a wee bit more definition.) but I actually take back what I said about the shoulder pads. They look just fine, maybe make them just a teensy bit bigger, but not by much.
Keep the arms and hands from the right one; They look just like ZIM's!!!
his stripes seem a bit unevenly spaced on the right one, so try to fix that if you can. Also, if you don't mind, try making his shirt a little bit more pink. Not too much to make him look girly, but just enough to make him look irken invader-ish ( I hope I don't sound too mean or bossy. If so, I'm sorry.)
Overall, I definitely like the zim on the right!!!! And those eyes....they stare into my soul! MY SOOOUUL!!!!!!
You did a great job on both of them!

Um... Did I say something wrong?
π: 0 β©: 0
Heheh, great! Thanks for the input! The only thing I won't do is change the colors, because I took the color samples from the episode, "Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars," specifically when Zim was up in his living room, where the lighting was normal. Now, the reason I use that episode is because Jhonen said in the commentary that the colors and drawing was perfect in it, and (a rarity, I'm sure) he was being sincere when he said it!!
But yes, I totally get everything else you're saying. Essentially, I just need to tweak the stuff on the right one, but not much else. And I'm noticing more people talking about the right one's head being slightly too small, too (which it is - gonna definitely adjust that).
Thanks for the help! Seriously, it's great to get the input.

Um... Did I say something wrong?
Sry if I offended you in any way.
I respect your decision on the colors entirely!

Pfffft, no, lol. I was just explaining my myself - I wasn't offended or anything, lol

Ok. Thanks!
It was just after I submitted my response, and went back to look at it a while later, it said it was flagged as spam for some reason, and I just wanted to make sure I didn't do anything wrong.

The left one.
In the original show, Zim ran about 1 3/4 heads tall when it came to his body proportions, and seems to be the case in the left design, whereas the one on the right runs roughly 2 1/2 heads tall.
I do, however, find the lineart and facial proportions of the one on the right more aesthetically pleasing than the one on the left. Maybe you could draw the right one with the proportions of the left.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think that's a good idea, too. Most people I've talked to about it have pointed out that they prefer the design of the right one, but that the size of the individual body parts are out of proportion (especially the head; it's slightly too small).
Thanks for the input!

The right one looks better. Zim has more room for his mouth and expressions while his eyes are still big enough to be expressive.Β
the left looks alot more chibi/cartoony. which isn't a bad thing by any means. Just dosent seem the best for animation at times if his eyes are 80% of his face.Β

Nice. I see where you get those vibes. Definitely glad I'm improving it!
Thanks for the input!

Okay, thanks for the input!

Glad it wasn't just me thinking that. I also think the head's slightly too small - what do you think?
π: 0 β©: 1
I rather think the torso is too long and wide at the bottom, changing that will make the head look larger.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm. I could see that, too. Either way, the proportions are definitely off, and need changed. I'll see what more people say, but that will probably be an item on the agenda next.

Thanks for the input!

Definitely an improvement! I would say the antenna still need to be a little thicker, and too lengthy.. The thinkpan is probably too small as well. Make the proportions about the same as the one on the left

Good to hear it's an improvement. Thanks for the input, again!

To be honest, I like the one on the right
π: 0 β©: 1
Awesome. Thanks for the input!

Okay, short, sweet, and to the point
Prefer: The one on the right (by a margin)
What I like best--
Left: The thicker stripes on the uniform and sleeves
Right: The entire head
What I like least--
Left: The shoulder pads and legs (too thick)
Right: The torso and arms are a smidge too long
The best of both worlds: Β I'd keep the entire head of the one on the right. Β I'd keep the width of the torso on the right one at the top and bottom, but maybe shorten it slightly, and make the stripes thick. Β Possibly make the shoulder pads somewhere between the right and the left one as far as width, and the arms on the left look better to me, as does the collar. Β I'd keep the boots and thin legs of the one on the right, but make the boots the same height as the ones on the left (to Zim's knees).
Hope this was helpful ^-^

That was helpful indeed. Thank you very much for your input!

I like the first one better, except for the antenna and color you used for the eyes. The first one could use some slimming on his boots too.
Some notes:
1 Zim's head usually has a larger outline than his arms: vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/zβ¦
2 I think it looks better if his shoulder pads don't stick over the front of his dress when in a straight on pose, but that's a matter of personal opinion as they're drawn both ways in the show.
3 As I noted here: regnspoke.deviantart.com/art/T⦠Zim tends to stick his chest out, because he's very confident. That makes his dress rise up. Though sometimes his dress is how you've drawn it and it fits a top down sorta view, if you google "invader zim" a lot of the official art will be of the dress with a slight sway inwards.

Thanks for the input, and for backing it up with some official sources. I need to definitely nail Zim's look when I sit down to do his final concept art sheet.

I personally prefer the one on the left. The thicker lines and limbs make Zim not look so anorexic with stick figure legs. Although I would choose thinner lines for his antennae and the stripes on his clothes.
