Description Full-view please!

Once again, a gender-bending idea came in mind and I just "HAD to do it!" I was watching some episodes of Invader Zim on Nicktoons channel ... and I was HOOKED. Lately, it made me look at my own artwork through different eyes and sparked some new inspirational ideas. One of them was obviously and Invader Zim fanart dealing with gender-bending (my second attempt at it). So, I decided to draw a female version of Zim in human disguise. I'm actually quite pleased with the result, although I personally like his/her hairstyle in my original sketch better: [link]

The hairstyle is slightly mimicked after Teri Kusumoto, first lead vocalist to the band Hiroshima. [Boy, what the euphoria of music can do to artwork! ]

I made some slight editions, particularly her arm and the lines in her hair.

If Zim was a female, his female name will be Zimbella

I really like the female Zim. One thing that bothers me is how skinny she is, but thats just me. I still love it!!

Reyelene In reply to PhantomisErik [2008-09-19 01:51:00 +0000 UTC]

Well, Zim is a very skinny character (after all, look how thin his arms and legs are), so doing the same for the female version made sense to me.

Glad you like the picture!

Actually, I know that ... But I wanted to draw her with the hair because she looks better that way. Besides, it's Zim in human disguise, so you could pretend it's just a wig.

poofy hair! hehe I love it! I'm a big fan of Zim, but this is an excellent view of what Zim would look like as a girl. ^^

Thanks. I personally like this female get-up on Zim better than the fat-lady disguise in the episode "Walk for your Lives."

Wow, I didn't knew you had a thing for Zim. I need to get the DVDs; I haven't seen the show in some time, & usually I'm not around to catch it on the Nicktoons channel. *sigh...*

Very, very interesting job on the picture. I've always wanted to do a gender-bending thing for some of my characters, but I'm not sure who to try it on first.

Reyelene In reply to MouseAvenger [2007-08-22 05:43:26 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I eventually got hooked on Invader Zim ... even to the point of recording episodes via the DVR and archiving them on videocassette. ^_^ I've been wanting to get the DVDs too, but the one I want is the one that has the episodes they didn't show in the U.S., as well as some of those few unfinished episodes that were aired.

Anyway, glad you like the pic. Speaking of gender-bending, have you read the fanfic "Story of an Outcast" by Megana? It's a gender-bending on Fidget. It's a radical approach when you think of it (as I can't ever picture Fidget to be female, even if he was), but the way she tells the story is quite believeable ... and quite sad. Of course, my character Annabella Boitano is sort of a female version of Fidget, except her leg is crippled rather than a peg.

Oh, yes, I've read "The Story Of An Outcast". I have it on my list of favorite stories, actually. Marvelous piece of work.

Well that's interesting.
I love her expression.
Hehe, my cousin thought Zim was a girl at first. Don't know why.

Thanks.

Ah, your cousin though Zim was a girl, eh? It must be the high-pitched voice and the pink outfit and eyes. Actually, I always thought Zim's voice sounded boyish, as in a pre-adolescent, precocious boy.
