More of baby scientist Zim!

Recently I was re reading "Bioshock: Rapture" and this part of little Eleanor destroying her audio diary gave me baby zim vibes lol.

[zimcard-artblog]

Hi, I wanted to know how you draw the Irken from Invader Zim, could you teach me please?

I'M SO SORRY THIS TOOK... FOREVER!!!!! Hi hope you've been well;

I'll try to break it down as my style is not 1:1 with the IZ (show) style, it's a mix of the comics and my personal touch but I'll show the basics first in how to simplify their head shapes specifically, somehting I find unique to them!

1. REFERENCES + PRIMAL SHAPES

Irken head shapes are geometrical and come in many different shapes and sizes BUT I'd describe that Zim's head can be used as a base before making complex adjustments. I'd visualize their heads as 3D cubes!

It does help with where you position the face and also the top of their heads are slightly flat (BALDDDD). Antenna placement are kinda funny tho but I usually just put them on the top corners of their head... might be inconcistent in my style but it's a matter of aesthetic sometimes <3

2. IRKEN SHAPE LANGUAGE

Body language specifically but I like to use the old IZ show art style to emphasize something unique to Irkens so that when you wanna experiment with shapes you can go craaazzyyy with it.

Ah, yes, the usual idle. I imagine the body being more of a triangle with a bit of curve for the idea of a "hip forward" pose?A kind of lean to it? But other than that, whilst they have sharp edges they aren't always static with straight lines or stiff joints, there are curves and their limbs are kinda noodle like (tiny noodles, like Zim specifically!)

Sharp edges but more noodle like(?), I suggest checking the Invader Zim comics cause they have really really nice ref for body language esp fitting for someone like Zim, a matter of style and exaggeration of body language to be more expressive or "over the top" bc that's how I see Irkens (or, well Zim specifically!! It depends on what type of character you're drawing, what's their main trait??? Strong headed? Scaredy cat? Happy ray of sunshine???)

BODY TYPES!!! You can experiment with body types like above, there are ranges to it but you can have fun with it; This applies with head shapes too!

3. IRKEN FEATURES

More focused on Antennas, Eye shape, and plausible features you can throw in. I wanna encourage you to DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!!! add freckles or ornaments or such, there's a wide range of things you can do!!!

The show usually depicts fem Irkens to have eyelashes and curled antennas whilst masc lack either- however, that isn't truly fixed as you can experiment with them (Commander Poki had straight antennas); you can use these traits to emphasize a specific style or mix it up. There are so many Irken OCs by incredibly talented people, you can invent new ways to draw antenna shapes n such;

Injuries, moles, freckles, birthmarks, etc etc!! It's free!!!

4. HAVE FUN!!! GO CRAZY!!!!!

In the end, draw Irkens the way you wanna draw! This style is more of me being comfortable with mixing the IZ old artstyle with the comics + ETF movie... in the end everyone has the freedom to add in a little creative touch to fit their styles- let it be realism or using different shapes! I hope this helps <:] Sorry if I missed a few details !!!!

back with cotey AU. Rant about relationship between Miyuki and Spork below

As a preface: Miyuki is much, much older than Spork. Since she became Tallest, quite a few second in line have come and gone. Miyuki personally got rid of some of them if she felt a threat of being overthrown.

Spork remained second tallest irken for quite a long time because Miyuki did not see him as someone who could do anything to her, and she was right. Along the way, she fueled the feeling that there was no point for Spork to fight her. Although she didn't see him as an heir, but merely an idiot, it was more profitable for her to keep him in that position. She still had plans for someone else to be her heir, so Miyuki didn't shy away from telling Spork directly that perhaps one day she would kill him.

And Spork more or less accepted it; he didn't exactly object to being killed if it allowed him to live stress-free for a while. Though it did cause certain traumas.

So when Miyuki dies, he loses his mind because she is no longer pressuring him, no longer telling him, the idiot, that he will never be the Tallest. That is why, at first, he truly abuses his power (at first meaning the entire time until his death). He also realizes that he and Miyuki are worlds apart, so he tries to gain the same respect for himself through very questionable methods, plus he is overcome with anxiety because the power is now his, he doesn't know what killed Miyuki, etc.

And Spork actually misses(?) Miyuki a little, because he didn't have anyone close to him other than the one who threatened to kill him many, many times, humiliated him, and so on.

Some random sketches I did instead of lore drawing

[tzunarii]

This is a drawing I made for Mother's Day but I upload it here because why not , I think red saw Miyuki as someone he deeply admired, he always tried to be good at many things to stand out and get Miyuki's attention or just make her feel proud of him, This would be when red found Miyuki's pak, he keep it as a Memory of her but he couldn't see it without crying.

Day 30: Lost and Found (Freestyle)

And with that, RaPr month comes to an end… 12 days late on my end LMFAOO but I just had to get all the entries done, no matter how late. I’m glad to have contributed to the RaPr community with this. This last picture can be considered a little teaser for that comic that will come out when it comes out.

[sarhav3]

Slowly making things for first chapter of Pokiyuki fic. Some Elite year things

[sarhav3]

Finally finished this comics!!!

Rant below

As I mentioned before, Poki and Miyuki met during Miyuki’s time in military training. Their deep bond began to form there. Initially, Poki grew attached to Miyuki as her subordinate, for whom she felt responsible as second-in-command.

Later, she became attached to her as a partner who largely understood and shared her worldview regarding the injustice of the Empire.

And obviously, she cared for and was devoted to Miyuki as a leader, the Tallest, who did many things for the Empire.

Also, meet my headcanon about Poki’s alcoholism. I don’t think Irkens fully understand grief, because it’s something they aren't supposed to waste time on. Therefore, after obtaining alcoholic beverages from other species, Poki began to drink as a way to cope with the feelings caused by the numerous deaths she had witnessed

Collection of doodles about Miyuki's young age

so 1-2 this was the time when Miyuki was the Second Tallest, and the Tallest was before her. Tallest Pinky perished during an assassination attempt on another planet. But the greatest secret in this incident is that Miyuki knew it would happen and did nothing to prevent it. Although she felt respect for Pinky, she still disagreed with her policy and waited for the time when she could seize power

3 is a small sketch about Miyuki's smeethood and the events that made her rebel against the ideas of the Control Brains, while also realizing that as a smeet, she definitely would not have appreciated who the adult Miyuki became

And 4 just Miyuki, second-in-command Poki and Commander Vekt

[sarhav3]

bunch of no lore related doodles it's just fun
