Absolutely perfect. No need to change or adjust anything - I love the way it currently is, just fine.

Here is the conversation Stanley and I had about this picture in stash, re-posted because stash comments get deleted after submitting a picture, and it explains his coloring:
IZTheDoomMovie:
I actually like this a lot, especially how sickly he looks. Oddly, though, I think everything has a bit too much of a yellowish hue. Would you like to collor correct it or should I? I'm fine with it either way.
Also, I like the idea you had for the blown out PAK leg slot - please go forward with that.
As far as lineart goes, everything looks fantastic here. The only problem, like I said, is that the whole image (or, at least, his skin, eyes, and sleeves) have a tad bit too much of a yellow lean. Still, if you'd rather me color-correct it, I'd gladly do that tomorrow so you won't have to.
Also, I don't have time to send you the info today, but - if you could wait until tomorrow - I'll get you all the technical info you'll need for the deviation.
RegnSpoke:
Actually there is a very important reason I made him so yellow. It's because he must look different from Zim, both his height and his main color (red) are similar to Zim's, and since he shows up at the start of the movie and is an Irken the audience will be strongly inclined to think he is Zim. Even though the control brains state his name, there is a writing advice that goes "show, don't tell". I talked about this with Daphne and she said his coloring was okay.
Zim's clothing is pink and thus pushed more towards blue, so I went in the opposite direction on the color wheel for Squeech and pushed his coloring more towards yellow.
At the time I colored Squeech wasn't aware of this, but comically, Jhonen's reason for having an Irken in the new comic be strangely colored is exactly the same as mine: jhonenv.tumblr.com/post/126625β¦
I could change it, but I don't know how to do that without making him look like Zim.
IZTheDoomMovie:
Hmm... Valid points. Okay, I see what you're saying. the colors can stay the same.
RegnSpoke:
Oh, good (you also said you liked him looking sickly, and yellow skin/jaundice in humans is a sign of sickness). Then I'll change his PAK tomorrow after I get the info.
IZTheDoomMovie:
Alrighty. And, thinking of it, him looking yellow makes sense, since he's a defective, after all. The audience will more readily associate that with a problem.

Oh, by the way, are you intending to update it with a blown-out leg spot or not? I'm fine with it either way, but I am just curious as to whether or not you intend to have that eventually incorporated into the design.

It is changed. This is what I wrote you:
"I didn't think of it until now, but perhaps I should have his upper leg circle be blown off as well in order to make the PAK look more destroyed."
I had the pink circle up there before that the legs connect to, it's gone now. What's there now is the grey form that was containing the circle. Does it look okay, is there something I should fix?
I can upload the old version for you if you want to compare.

No need to change anything. This looks fine.

Okay. By the way, I have a question. For Dib and Gaz, will you be using their square head designs or round head designs? For example of what I mean, look at their heads in Taster of Pork and compare with The Nightmare Begins. I personally think the square/Taster of Pork version looks much better.

Well, so far I've been using "Backseat Drivers From Beyond the Stars" as a perfect reference, seeing as Jhonen says it's the closest episode to how he envisioned the show in his head. So, whatever shapes are in that episode are the shapes I'll be using.

Alright, thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

You're welcome.

Oh, I get it. Yes, that makes sense now. See, for some reason I misunderstood what you meant and thought you were referring to one of the LOWER pink spots on his PAK. But what you said just now makes much more sense.

Excellent!

I re-posted our conversation about his coloring, If he does end up looking too yellow once animation is started or finished, I'm sure the coloring can still be changed rather easily.
Also, maybe you should add my PAK Inside Concept to your IZTDM Related favorites if it's gonna serve as concept art.

Oh, valid point. Thanks for the reminder.
