While at work, Oma can start drawing on her work tablet. But because of this, she gets distracted and makes mistakes. She is also a fan of the Irken named Aka. Oma hung the advertising poster directly on her workplace wall as motivational support. (uwu )
Aka belongs to @khaliarart
I love your work, thanks for the inspiration. (owo )
My personal take on Irken heights and designs! More insight into my process under the cut.
I exagerrated the heights of most Irkens to further pronounce Zim's lackingness- As well as make it make more sense in universe for the Almighty Tallest to single out Zim and Skoodge specifically for being short.
Larb in particular regularly recieves favoritism due to his height, so I made him taller to make it more fitting.
I also gave Spleen hideous veins because I hate you all personally. (There is definitely something wrong with him)
As for Tak I kept her height relatively the same in comparison to Zim which would make her pretty short by typical Irken standards.
I also removed her cross hatched mouth because it just confuses me and I don't really like it.
Tenn is popular amongst the fandom for some reason so I included her since I needed more female Irkens.
Although I took more inspiration from her first appearance than her more prominent role in Megadoomer because she looked too similar to Zim.
And of course there's Zim himself. I made sure he was the shortest- Even moreso than Skoodge because that's hilarious.
Pint isn't a real Invader moreso just an extra Irken I added to showcase traits that other potential candidates weren't able to- Such as the brownish eyes and chubbier build on a female Irken.
I refrained from drawing Sizz-Lorr's hat because I wanted to show off his antennae.
I also changed the logo on his metal sleeve things to have two eyes instead of one- Since the one eye symbol is supposed to be for Invaders only.
As for the Tallest without the suit, I took inspiration from this concept art from The Trial- Which depicts the young Tallest as Irken Elite.
I do think it looks pretty cursed with that awful huge head on that tiny stick body. I made Red TALL, tall enough to be the tallest living Irken (tied with purple) but the height is greatly exagerrated by the suit.
Since I buffed the Irken race so hard size wise JUST to screw over Zim, naturally Dib (who is even smaller) got screwed over even harder
I'm back to fill your dash with the goodest of boys. The most marine of biologists. Deemed 'mostly harmless' by the Resisty and 'who?' by the Irken Empire. Giver of sage advice and the first to admit to actually being Dib's friend.
Veen is a feminine irken who is around Zim's height and has uneven teeth. She works as a surgeon, and her PAK color, white, indicates that she is of the medical class (headcanon by deviantart user FaithFirefly).
She is confident with herself and her abilities, compassionate, and not exactly what you would call a rule follower- she lets her morals guide her. When put under enough pressure, she becomes a nervous wreck.
Despite her small stature, she is incredibly skilled at what she does and is valued highly. She got lucky to be in the position she's in.
She appeared to me in a dream a few days ago and I just HAD to make her real. Fun fact- she originally had jagged, sharp teeth in the dream and was a medical student, but I decided to tweak her a bit to fit in with the universe more.
While I still have Invader Zim brainworms I wanted to take a crack at tackling the show's art style and it is deceptively hard to get right.
but it was a very fun exercise, not only in forcing myself to simplify detail, but also general character design.
Anyway here's "Tallest Cyl" an Irken OC so I can very clearly set my base cringe level on the internet. However I am suddenly reminded of this post I made from FUCKING September 22nd 2012.
I'm sorry Jhonen, over ten years later I have failed you.
