ZaDr week (2): Day 2, Alternate Universe

WHEW!!! I made an AU just for today and now I’m gonna keep it cause I’m EXCITED! I used to write a lot as a kid but not so much anymore…maybe this AU will get me back into it?

It’s basically role swap between Dib and Zim but a little different; Zim is human and Dib is irken.

Zim has a neglectful and harsh family (his dads are the Almighty Tallest and his sister is Tak), and as a result Zim grows up to be a really chaotic and destructive person. He gets in trouble in school a lot, but it’s very clear that he’s a super smart kid and knows what he’s doing. He gets all his work done and finds it all really easy (mostly just tedious), so he decides to make a robot dog to “help him with his work” but in reality just makes GIR because he needs company and someone to lean on with his bad home life (he would never admit that he loves GIR, though). Because of his destructive behavior, he can’t keep a friend to save his life which means that GIR also fills that space.

Dib is an irken scientist, and is sent to Earth to collect data on the human’s technology because they know nothing about it and are curious if there’s anything useful for the Irken Armada. GIR is out of the house one day, and Dib finds GIR and sees him as the most valuable human creation he’s seen to date. Dib takes GIR home, Zim finds out that GIR is missing and then uses the tracking chip on GIR which leads Zim to Dib’s base and from there, their rivalry starts!! I’d really love to write a story on it, but for now here’s some art. :>

If anyone could help me come up with AU names, that’d be fantastic!

On my Ark siblings nonsense, giving them peak sibling interaction from Lilo and stitch

This is another really old one that I still really like, based off of the fanfic ‘step, two, three’ by Pittedpeaches on ao3 :]

I believe this is my first time trying to render something seriously, some of the colors turned out a little muddy but knowing this whole thing was created using my extremely limited knowledge on lighting is inane to me

these two lego bricks shaped an entire era of my existence lemme tell ya that

Introducing my (other) au!! Basically, over time Zim realizes that he's unable to destroy Earth. There's always something that stops him, so he decides to become a part of the winning side. His mindset changes to "If I can't destroy this planet, no one will". Dib eventually exposes Zim to the world, but by this point people have seen what he's done to help the planet, and ultimately no one cares. Dib finds his new purpose in helping Zim fight intergalactic and paranormal enemies.

These were very fun to draw, and I hope to draw more of this and the Worm On A String AU in the future ^^

HELP

Hello, just want to say I love your art, do you have any suggestions on how to draw poses?

I guess three things I think of when it comes to poses are line of action, straight vs curved, and weight. I’ll use this quick awkward doodle to demonstrate:

You probably know this one if you know animation. Everything in the drawing doesn’t necessarily have to stick to it, but its a good basis for the overall silhouette. Most examples I’ve seen stick to one line, but sometimes I experiment with two if I’m going for a more action-y, dynamic pose. Its best not to go over two (two is risking it) as that would just get too visually confusing.

This one is more for smaller details, such as the arms and legs. Its good if you want to go for a more stylized look, since real life humans never have completely straight lines anywhere on their body. It’s basically contrasting a straight line with a curved one so you get a clearer idea of where the volume is going. Check out this video if you want more info, which is where I referenced from!

An easy one to forget in my experience. A little trick we learnt in life drawing class is that in real life the nose should generally be parallel to where the most weight is, to make it look more balanced. You’ll notice too that the body gets more compressed where the most weight is, ie the left leg here.

Some of my own (colour coded) examples, although I’m still learning to apply these things ~

(Sometimes if the nose doesn’t line up with where the body is leaning, you have to balance it out with the limbs or other body parts. The amethyst one would not work if she wasn’t holding another character on her back)

I recommend looking up these techniques online or in art books as you’re bound to find more in-depth tutorials and examples. But overall I hope this helps!

today was a nice rainy autumn day
