Invader Zim:10 Minutes to DOOM

I’ve wanted to draw this for ages now. Blessed be my winter break. Based on the script for ’10 Minutes to DOOM’, which might have trumped my current best-loved Zim episodes to become the absolute favorite, had it ever been produced.

Things I Like:
: The Dib could actually be twelve-ish here. I did my level best to make sure that he did *not* have a teenaged body type. Or a female one, since I *was* modeling for myself (yes, that pose is possible. Painful, but possible.)
: The face. In the (many) sketches I did for this piece, I was always worried that I just wasn’t getting across the pain of this situation- all the red smears in the world can’t match one good visceral grimace. And *that* was done without reference. I think it all worked out, thank goodness.
: Breaking the box. Gawd, I love doing that. Raar.

Things I Don’t:
: The colors. This was finished (colors amped up web consumption) on a different computer, and I think it re~ally… grayed this out.
: You tell me the problems, and I’ll flip out about them. Er. In a good way. Please?
