Redesigning Invader Zim in Different Styles

[@Orangeslices00]

Jacob and Karina’s portraits fit their “I’ll literally kill you” “I wish you would” bit perfectly

It's been long enough that I really don't want to, but at this point, I just gotta ask; is them referring to themselves as a married couple part of a running bit, or are they legitimately married? lol. I just assumed it was the former until now, but this comment really shot that confidence.

I think it's truely dang hilarious that they never take full control of their editor. Like freak. Stop drawing for 3 dang minutes.....

As someone who was deeply deeply involved in the Invader Zim fandom, I very much appreciate this episode and Karina calling us out personally

[@mason9486]

when i say i literally felt every single emotion i ever had between the years 2010-2014 as soon as the ship was brought up, i MEAN it. i remember nearly every thing invader zim related that happened in that time + every bit of info i collected, INCLUDING the 15+ irken ocs and how i tried to convince some kids who were bullying me that i was irken to get them to stop bullying me. it didnt work, haha i wonder why! anyways thanks for this episode, my inner child is thriving :3c

[@tren-della]

it seems weird to me how soon i’ve gotten used to julia being a ghost in a bag

[@airplanes_aren.t_real]

Same vibe new face

[@airplanes_aren.t_real]

Personally I'd rank the difficulty to adapt to their new face as: 1 jacob(the focus on his "little guy gremlin" energy as opposed to his chaotic tall guy vibe is still not 100% with me) 2 julia (the focus on the eldritch aspect of her character as opposed to a 50/50 of that and her portrait is different but still fits pretty well) 3( karina she definitely toned down her gremlin energy but it's definitely still there) 4(Nathan looks like the self depreciating cinnamon bun we all desperately try to compliment like he always does)

[@colesonfox6544]

I love how julia basically recreated the bit in enter the florpus where dib introduced himself as a 12 year old while rendered like a jojo character

[@yate0128]

Episode idea: One artist draws something and the other 3 render it. Each in their own style, So there's 3 different renders of the same original sketch.

[@warningdeadinside2537]

I've noticed that since "Spiderman: Across The Spider-Verse" came out, artists have been making their own spidersonas, and now I'm curious as to what Drawfee's spidersonas would look like.

[@NixityNullt]

I love how jacob's classic cartoon zim and dib have the exact opposite energy of their dynamic in the actual show

[@sdtwirix1126]

I'm just headcanoning that Dib is leading Zim to a trap and grinning because he's "bouta getem!" Either that or Early Installment Weirdness is in full effect.

[@markrs25]

Drawing suggestion: draw each other into an isekai. Example- Nathan is king of dinosaurs in a prehistoric world; Karina uses a Digimon deck in a YuGiOh-esque dimension; Julia is a Drawtective in an isekai full of vampires; and Jacob is the leader of a bunch of little guys rebelling against hot villains.

I dig one-person speed draws equally ... If there are more drawings so they're longer lol, like Karina's recent one XD We just need MOAR ALWAYS MOAR

You should check it out, see how you like it. Not every single episode is gold, but it has more than its fair share of comedy. It does lean towards a specific kinda humor/vibe that doesn't click with everyone though.

"I'm gonna rubber hose til she inkys on my binky" was thoroughly underappreciated as the masterpiece it was

They should also use their knowledge of each other to try to trick each other. Like Karina would try to do Jacod like inks and Nathan would try to master the Julia nose out approach. Then the conversation is who is better at gaslighting. "I don't think I drew Phoenix Wright kissing Wallace from Wallace and Gromit but actually maybe I did?"

[@Hammer316]

What's so funny and also the biggest coincidence (or I am assuming it's a coincidence, since no one mentions the Zim movie) about Julias 40 year old looking Dib, is that they kind of did that exact joke in the official Zim movie. Like a jojo style dib says "I'm a 12 year old boy trying to protect earth from the ailen forces" While looking like a grown ass man. Even Zim looks similar! So to me, that kind of looked like fanart from the movie's anime interpretation. But anyway, ya'll did great and the styles were awesome!

I feel the annoying need to clarify the confusion wrt Dib and Zim’s ages that Dib’s like a human kid and that’s why he’s short, but According To The Creators, Zim is a full grown Irken he’s just tiny and stupid.
