Invader Zim is the best cartoon ever created (by Jhonen Vasquez)!!! GIR is just too ridiculous, fell in love with the character from the very first episode. When I made the 3D model, GIR definitely lost some of its humor aspects, but it still looks pretty funny (may be i should bust out some thread and needle to make his 'dog' suit). Two lessons learned form this:
1. give it at least 2 days for the paint and the (matt) clear coat to dry; I couldn't wait to put the pig in GIR's arms after painting, the paint was rubbed off and I had to repaint the pig, twice!!! and of course I couldn't get the same tone of pink thus pretty much ruining the piece.
2. some colors of paint cost more than others!?!? paid $7 for 1 oz. of Cobalt Teal and used about 15 drops. Last time I bought paint it was like a dollar for a gallon of some smelly acrylics.
Gave this away as b-day present (see the trend??), but last time I heard GIR was dropped from 8 ft. above ground, had a 'soft' landing but the legs broke off...what the hell was it doing that high up in the first place!?
Invader Zim rules. I was sad to see it not continue. Your piece is a worthy depiction. No wonder those legs broke, look how thin they get! ;)
