THANK YOU TARYN! Is all I'm gonna say! I really really don't like Tak and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so I mean to me she was simply annoying! I don't care much for the DATR either I mean Dib said he liked her big deal he liked her cuz she hated Zim it's nothing to shove him and her together with and I'll probably get yelled at for this comment but DIB HATES ALIENS!!! I mean come on!!! I dunno I mean lately I've been drawing Dib and Tez older that's because truely I think he's to young ot fall in love yet and too busy but hey you never know right? OH well I just have to agree with you on the Tak thing I really don'y like her as a char to me she's just too much like Gaz maybe Jhonen just likes making some of his girls mean but who knows. But you know one thing.. I LOVE MIMI! hehe yes the cute little evil cat sir I love that thing! Once again I say I must agree I haven't even bothered to try and draw her and I probably should..meh maybe later..she still lokes like Devi and NNy's kid isn't that a scarey little thought for you shudder ok one more thing you still draw Dib wonderfully, he soo kyoot! Ok too much rant I go now
More Invadery Zim type Sketches by @tarysand (Taryn Sanders)
Oooo... Dis one's got purdy colors on it. This one also has a lot of pictures of Tak. Back when she DIDN'T irritate the hell out of me rolls eyes, I did a bunch of study sketches to try to get her look down. And despite the fact that I don't like her all that much (hey sorry people, I tried shrugs), I still think she's fun to draw.
I used to think she was all right, that is until people started thinking she was godly, and just the coolest, greatest, most amazing kick-butt IZ character ever to grace the TV screen, and God forbid you say even one negative thing about the great Tak without having some flamer jump down your throat (much like the ones that will certainly flame me for this). I may have even come to like her someday if not for everyone telling me how cool she is and biting my head off if I didn’t ALSO think she was the greatest thing since the invention of cheese : P
And I won't even GO into my feelings about DATR -_-
Well, I guess now I'm gonna get a buncha flames from those Tak fans I mentioned, and probably the DATR supporters too. I shouldn't even have brought it up, but I'm entitled to my opinion, and in my opinion she's just not amazingly, wonderfully spectacular like everyone seems to think.
She's okay. That's about as high as my opinion of her goes.
So why, you ask, do I have half a sketchpage of pictures dedicated to a character I really don't care for? Like I said, she's fun to draw. Ironic, huh?
Well now THAT'S over, let me make some comments about my sketches (and if you must give me grief about something, give it to me about the actual drawings, not my Tak views, please. I REALLY don't think I should get any flames for this. I mean it's not like I drew her being torn apart by rabid dogs or anything. I'm not fond of her, but I drew her nice and normal). I thought it would be kinda neat to mix some colored sketches with some black and white ones, and I actually think the contrast looks pretty good. I particularly like the 'death-glare' face Tak is making in the far left one there (I make that same face at the computer a lot). The one in the top right I drew her hair differently cause I just think it looks better that way. The one underneath that was actually the original design for Tallest Miyuki I was toying with, but I revised her look completely for the final version. And you should recognize everyone else on here including Devi, Dib, and Gaz. Gaz I'm actually starting to like more, and really am wanting to do more pictures of now.
Dib just looks cute when he's depressed ^^ I make him look that way a lot. He's also cute when he's doing that scared, lip thing. Aw, hell, he's just cute all the time ^-^
Um, that Madness Dog is on here too, somewhere.
Kay, I'm done now.

Oh I SO totally agree with you! The only thing I like about Tak is she's cool looking in her human form. Her invader form is too.. too..I dunno I just dont like it. I'm totally against DATR too. I just dont think that Tak and Dib would make a good couple, Tez is correct Dib HATES aliens!! I can't stand Tak accept her human look. Great Art BTW! =) Can't wait to see more
AWWWWW! I ADORE these little sketch pages, especially the colored Dibs. Tak looks great and I like the variety of angels you drew her from. The contrast between color and black & white sketch came out beautifully. The right amount of blackness and color. I adore the madness dog too, I love that dog! And I agree with you...Dib's cute ALL the time!! ^.~
For someone who obviously doesn't adore Tak and worship the ground she conquers, you still draw her perfectly. The color in contrast to the b/w sketches looks pretty original, since most people make their pictures either one way or the other. Miyuki has a certain peacable charm about her that I think would suit her well, even though she's never been officially drawn; Devi and Gaz look cool, and Dib is just as cute as ever. Mucho congrats.
I just have to say that you are COMPLETELY right on the whole opinion thing. It's your thoughts, and if people can't respect that, then that's THEIR problem. I, however, like Tak's looks, but NOT her personality. Oh sure, she's been through alot and her life is ruined because of Zim, yadda yadda. I don't like her as much as the minor characters in the show; like Melvin, whom is my favorite. Your opinions count just like everyone elses. And to actually say that in a way that people will understand than to critisize. That is truely mad power. :P
Okay, I'm sorry. I rant all the time. Now, for the REAL comment: I REALLY like the fantastic shading you did! I can only imagine how hard it is. Or maybe it's easy. I've never tried to CG anything before, mainly because I have no scanner. You REALLY have talent, and you don't need me or anyone else to say. You already know, yes? And you slapped Madness and Devi in there, yay!
Wow, it must be hard to draw like that. Maybe it's easy with some practice...
You know, I have not seen the Tak episode . . . but I knew about the episode for a horrendously long time now (back when it was just an idea) and I declared it as nothing but a fangirl's dream come true. I was horrified, I knew there would be a terrible backlash, I knew people would be drooling and swooning over her.
It's strange to hate a character before she's even scripted. XD
And as for your rawings, I am incredibly jealous of your MAGNIFICENT PENCILING ABILITIES. (I like pencil drawings than I do finished images. X3)
Awesome as usual! I love the annoyed Dib picture... too cute! ^_^
About the Tak rant: I like Tak, not DATR, but I think she's pretty cool. Namely because she is basically the only female irken that actually is shown long enough to know her character. She get's annoying at times, though. (the laugh! >.<) Great job on Gaz! Devi looks cool. and the chiwahwah <---(can't spell)
Aww, just because some people are rude and immature, don't hold back your opinions. I actually like Tak, she's one of my faves. But I respect that other people hate her. Atleast you're not like most haters and say, "OMG TAK SO SUCKS EVERYONE WHO LIKES TAK SUCKS!!!!1" < - That would be immature. You're very mature about your opinion, I like that. None-the-less, I'm a big Tak fan, but as I said, no insults here, I don't wanna be immature like that. Anyways, I don't think Dib and Tak..Or ZIM and Tak for that matter, should go together. So, there.
Btw, with all my rambling I forgot to say...Awesome picture! XDZ
( "Wing filled taco passes you in a scream!" < - Heptad.
Hey, I totally agree on how everyone is entitled to their opinion too. People who think otherwise seriously need to leave it out. (gives Taryn a burrito) Yum. And they're such wonderful sketches. As for Tak, I think she's ok. (her laugh's a little off mind O.o) I guess a good reason would be is that she's got a british voice (like me! I is british) and Olivia D'Abo has a good voice. ^^ But then, thats my opinion. Please keep up the fine work you always do Taryn.
This pic is really drawn well. It's got a humorous side to it. Like when Dib is looking up to Tak's uncolored head it's like he's saying "Why is Tak's head suddenly bigger than mine?" and then another one where Dib is looking down at Tak's head it's like he's saying "How'd you get down there?" Heh. + I hate DATR it offends me. Bcuz 1. I hate romance, and 2. Tak is practiacally my nickname. and I don't want to sound like a Dib lover, even tho I did like him before. Also, when Dib said he "liked" Tak he didn't mean love.
This is the point where I'm glad my e-mail will not be... uh... publicly displayed. Or will it?
okei. . .can i just say. . .GIR. . .eh, erm. . .i mean grrrrrrrrrrr. . . .yeah. . .that's it. . .you're eveeeeeeeil. . .it's all tooooooooo good. my crap sux majorly put next to yours!! just go to my gallery and see for yourself!! it's the name up with the name thingy
Trying to make myself feel better. Bad stuffs happened to me today. It's my birthday tomorrow, but today is just...bad. I'm not going to get into it, no one wants to hear me whine.
Great stuff, Taryn. I really love the way you draw Dibbers, him's so cute. I'm gonna go ahead and say, I'm not a DATR supporter. I'm not a DA-Anything-R supporter. I like Dib the way he is, he's too young for romance! For the very few of you who've read Diberella, know that it was DATR only because I didn't want to use fan characters and yaoi is against my religion.
Aaah, that's enough for today. Bai!
~ Sinne what is having a bad, bad day.
You're right, Tak isn't the best thing to grace the Invader Zim screen...DIB is! Whee! Yeah, Tak is cool, but not as cool as she's made out to be. She's like just another invader, only she didn't pass the test. I think the thing I liked the most about her was the Tak theme that Kevin Manthei put together...that was cool.
I love the way you draw Dib, you have him down so well! Yes, I very heart Dib. Woot! Dib!
XD..don't worry Taryn, I don't favor Tak too much either, you're not the only one..great pics btw, Dib's simply adorable..and those Tak pics look just like her..^^ ~Julie
