New ZADR Fanfic:

Space Step-Dad

Because even though I have other things to work on, this took over my brain.

:Summary:

When Dib was 15 Zim suddenly vanished and it left a hole in his life. Some of that was filled when his father gifted him with a clone daughter. Dib loved his daughter dearly and she him. She became his reason to continue living, but still that hole remained.

However! That didn't mean he appreciated both he and his daughter being suddenly kidnapped by Zim with the intention of having them join the Resisty, even if it made all his childhood dreams come true.

Purple as he hides in the closet from his new embarrassment-filled feelings for Red. Don’t we all wish most of our teen years could be spent hiding from our feelings?

HEY! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I had a few end of the year projects to work on at work. AND I’m working on something that is taking a lot of time, which will also be for sale when I am done. Here is a teaser picture ;)

For anyone who wants a free pose-able human reference for drawing

The other day I came across this awesome program by accident (I don’t even remember what I was actually searching for, but on the several times I’ve looked for a program like this I’ve had no luck). It’s cool enough that I wanted to share it.

It’s called DesignDoll (website here) and it’s a program that lets you shape and pose a human figure pretty much however you want.

There’s a trial version with no expiration date that can be downloaded for free, as well as the “pro license” version priced at $79. I’ve only had the free version for two days so far, so I’m not an expert and I haven’t figured out all of the features yet, but I’ve got the basics down. The website’s tutorials are actually pretty helpful for the basics, as well. 

Here’s the page for download, which has a list of the features available in both versions.

There are three features the free version doesn’t have:

Can’t save OBJ files for export

Can’t download models and poses from Doll Atelier (a sharing site for users; note that the site is in Japanese, though)

It can’t load saved files

The third one means that if you make a pose, save it, and close the program, you can’t load that pose/modified model later. You have to start with the default model. I found that out when I tried to load a file from the day before (this is why reading is important…). Whether saving your modifications (and downloading models and poses) is worth $80 is up to you. 

But, the default model is pretty nice and honestly if all you’re looking for is a basic pose reference it should work fairly well as it is. Here’s what it looks like:

There’s a pose tag that lets you drag each joint into place and rotate body parts. The torso and waist can be twisted separately, and it seems like everything pretty much follows the range of movement it would have on an actual human.

Even the entire shoulder area is actually movable along with the joint! See, like how the scapular area of the back raises with the arm:

The morphing tag is one of the coolest features, in my opinion. It lets you pick and choose from a library of pre-set forms for the head, chest, arms, legs, etc. It has some more realistic body shapes in addition to more anime-like ones. Don’t like the options there? Mix a few to get what you want! Each option has a slider that lets you blend as much or as little as you want into the design. 

So you, too, can create beautiful things like kawaii Muscle-chan!!

The scale tag lets you mess with the proportions and connection points of different joints. This feature combined with the morphing feature not only allows more body shape variations, but it also means that you can do things like make a more digitigrade model if you want. (The feet only have an ankle joint, but for regular human poses that’s all that you really need, so whatever.)

Or you can make a weird chubby alien-like thing with giant hands and balloon tiddies if that’s more your thing.

The ability to pose hands to the extent it allows is far more than I could have hoped for from a free program. Seriously, you can change the position of each finger joint individually, as well as how spread out the fingers are from each other. Each crease on the diagram below is a point of movement, and the circles are for spread between fingers. 

And to make it a bit more convenient, there’s a library of pre-set hand poses you can pick from as well, and then change the pose from that if you like. 

In both versions, you can also import OBJ files from other places for the model to hold, like if you wanted to have them hold a sword or something.

Basically, this program is awesome and free and you should totally check it out if you want a good program for creating pose references.

This is Dib with his cloned daughter. He’s being a good dad and picking her up from the bus so they can walk home together.

SO I have this idea for a new fanfiction that I am starting to write. The working title is “My Space Step-Dad”.  The premise is thus:

Zim left unexplained when Dib was 15. No longer having a purpose Dib becomes depressed and seeing no other future options finally gives in and goes into REAL SCIENCE. He graduated college and starts working for his Dad. Dib is very very smart so the work is very boring and he becomes more and more depressed.  

In steps Professor Membrane who sees in Dib a need for him to become more invested in the future. SO he creates a clone of Dib genetically altered to be female (less chance for insanity) hoping that Dib will want to reconnect with SCIENCE to better the future for his clone offspring. 

What actually happens is that Dib instead becomes reconnected with a purpose to living. He becomes a loving and devoted GOOD DAD to his daughter and transfers to work in a planetarium so he can take his daughter to work and also have hours that befit a single parent. 

Seven years pass and his daughter grows up loving her dad and loving space, even though she can tell that it sometimes makes her beloved father sad.  

THEN both of them get kidnapped/recruited by the Resisty and she meets the reason for her dad’s sadness. Zim wants to reconnect with Dib but finds it difficult when there is an over-protective, jealous and possessive seven year old girl getting in his way. :)

So I work with kindergarteners and we made ufos out of paper plates. And of course I was doodling Zim at the table with them. Let’s just say a few uniquely colored Invader Zims went home on flying saucers tonight.
