Description AHHHHHH I FINALLY FINISHED IT

Holy freaking crap.

It's kinda funny, but I finished the sketch for this over a year ago. I only just started coloring it two/three days ago, and spent most of the time in those days struggling with it. I'm sure I missed a ton of mistakes, but it doesn't bug me too much. I'm pretty happy with the end result - it came out pretty much exactly how I wanted it to. That never happens, guys! o_o

But, yes, this is the cover for Fall to Ruin, that one IZ fic that I finished a while back. Give it a read if you like! (No, don't worry, it's not ZADR. XD)

I'd say more (aside from that I suck at drawing giant mechs and laser guns), but this thing seriously sucked the life out of me. I haven't even eaten yet today. Sooooo yeah. Bleh.

Fun fact! This thing took up 78 layers - I normally only use like...6! XD

Rice paper texture found on Google somewhere and messed with to the extreme, yaaaay
Blood spatter and bruise brushes from ~AnnFrost-stock and ~bombay101
Zim n' Dib = The Almighty Thinnest Jhonen
Nameless kid (aka Hope) and Krakemeth race = meeeeee but I bet no one cares~ 8D

It's going to be far less romantic and more of a family love than anything, but yes, there will be some slight ZADR. I'm trying to do it a little different from all the other stuff out there so far, though; a ZADR experiment, you could say. xD

I'm actually right in the middle of reading this fic on FF.Net, and I have GOT to say, one of THE best IZ fics I have EVER read.
The concept in and of itself is entirely unique, the invading species is interesting and again unique, the inclusion of the baby is a REALLY interesting twist I have NEVER seen used in an IZ fic EVER, and the writing is downright FANTASTIC.
And, on top of it all, YOU'RE A FANTASTIC ARTIST AS WELL!!
This is simply INCREDIBLE!
In your style, yes, but with that key element of IZ characterization that makes this image just POP.
Seriously, I am so jealous I could just CRY.

Ooh that's really neat, the rice paper texture gives it an interesting parchment look 83

And i love the tatters in the clothes, they actually look...tattery

OMG there is so much win in this.
The poses, and especially the alien-mech-arm-robot-majiger in the back, are awing me with their perspective-ness.

Kudos for a picture-project well done! It's always great when they pay off.

Excellent~ It's finely detailed in some parts, and simple in others. Makes it kinda interesting.

At first I was like "rice paper, what the hell?" but actually it sort of works. It looks like there's debris and ash and crap floating around in the air.

IT IS COOL I SAY

Ah! Detail! That reminds me of something I forgot - the little crack in Dib's glasses! Man, how'd I miss that? I mean, he gets that crack in the first chapter! Geez, stupid me...come on! x[

I was actually thinking of using cardboard instead of rice paper, but I couldn't really find anything to my liking. And also, the dark brown kinda threw everything off... The creamish-colored rice paper I found worked much better, I think. Wasn't expecting the sort of debris-and-ash effect, though - I just didn't like the plain flat colors, and was all 'THIS MUST HAVE SOME TEXTURE OR I WILL NEVER LIKE IT' xD;

And now, I'm going to go fix that glasses thing, and then go to bed, as it is nearly four in the morning. Whooooo~ *worms off into the night*

Well, if you don't like the color of a texture thing, you could mess with image>adjustments>hue/saturation (er, I think) while the texture is still in it's own layer. Sometimes that fixes it. :0

Hee, thanks~ ^^

Well...I've only got a little piece of the prologue done as of right now, and the overall plot is still in the works, but either way, I'll try my best! :3

I'm trying to work on the sequel, yes. Mostly been trying to piece out the plot, so it's more in-depth than just 'Zim and Dib start not-hating each other'. XD
