god. this is my ultimate love mail to midoyuzu.
this is my first time typesetting and even just drawing something in a comic format like this so very sorry if it’s a little strange !
I am always hesitant to post bc I am so so nervous to mischaracterize any character, esp yuzuru because I know there are many wildly different takes and interpretations and ways to love his character! All dialogue here is taken from two stories (jingle bells and school trip) of which I read the same day when I was first getting into enstars and it changed my life seeing how much they contrasted with each other. And I wanted to share it! ╰(*´︶`*)╯ I genuinely appreciate every other one of their relationships and friendships but.. something about these two.. I just think they bring so much out of each others characters!! Obviously at this point in time midori was just interested bc of the art but slowly but surely their relationship develops ,, like encouraging each other in workplace survival rules.,, midori caring a little too deeply about the interest yuzuru takes in him (eg the most recent school festival story). They both take each other a step away from their rigid stereotypical character, with yuzuru not having to act like a butler and getting to explore his more childish and social side, and midori actually fawning over a person, getting to be so excited and happy!! They’re just. So much fun !!!!! Even not a romantic dynamic, I just want to see it develop even more than it has!!
I have been cooking this up for the past half month if not for anyone else other than my midoyuzu fellows and friends on here. Love you guys so much I haven’t been this motivated to draw in a long time!! Although I might have to force myself to do doodles or something smaller after this one ^

Style experimentation feat. zim and dib (rough chronological order). This is the most fun I've had drawing in a long time!! Still kind of in shock over it.
This all started from Two Things: A.) I've been looking at animatics in preparation to make a ✨Portfolio✨, and B.) I saw some fanart that had me making heart eyes and I still can't stop looking at it.
When I first started this invader zim kick a couple months ago, I didn't think it was going to lead me down this path. I thought I was going to draw some of the characters in "my style", and eventually move onto something else. I don't know HOW it ended up being this sort of retrospective muse for me, where I'm challenging myself and trying new things. Maybe iz isn't the cause, maybe this would have happened regardless of what characters I was drawing. But here we are.
And I am so so so happy for it because I USED to draw like this all the time!!! This is what my sketchbook used to look like!! And somehow I just?? Forgot? That I could draw this way. That there wasn't anything stopping me. And that it would be so FUN. You can literally draw, and make the characters less detailed, but simultaneously more exaggerated and expressive, AND you can make more drawings in less time?? Ive always been a quantity over quality person when it comes to drawing, and i think its the animator in me that loves drawing like that. I was drawing all day yesterday. I didn't want to put the pencil down, and it's been a long time since I've felt that way about drawing. I had so much fun and I don't want to draw any other way ever again...That's just how I feel right now at least.
I swear, I probably come off as the most wishy washy person. First I messed around with zims design multiple times, now I'm inking stuff, now I'm drawing cartoonier. THIS IS NEW FOR ME I SWEAR... its been a long long time since ive let myself draw this way. I guess I just hadn't realized how much I was restricting myself.
Anyway, rough chronological order. The first adult dib page (second to last image) was actually the first one I drew. You can tell from the last page that I used the shapes n such from the kid dib on the older dib to make it look more like him. The big forehead is actually pretty crucial lol
