Description
THANK THE TALLEST THIS IS FINALLY DONE. It took me almost two weeks (more?) to finish it. Homework and real life were getting in the way. But it is good homework, it helps me get bettah. Yesh.I had so much fun (and sometimes excruciating suffering) playing with some new photoshop tricks. First one is working with my shading on a separate layer of only gray, I absolutely LOVE this technique. Using the pen tool and changing it to brush strokes helped a lot for the spider legs. Fun with inner and outer glow, as you can see. Hm... Also, a new trick I learned in animation, calibrating my lines, I'll post a quick tutorial about it if I find the time. Oh, and I'm slowly sucking less and less at male anatomy, but I can't wait to actually study it. Men are shaped weird, nuff said.
Fun fact: the glowing curtain of data are lyrics of a song, "Points of authority" by Linkin Park. Although now a moderate fan of the group, I can't help but be reminded of rough ZADR when I hear it.
Now, I AM OFF TO BED, because I need the sleep to cure from my nasty cold.
Love you all,
--tired Swingie

Friend: *looks at screen* "Did Zim really need to take his and Dib's shirts off??
Me: *crazy look in eyes* "YESH."
xD But seriously, this picture is pure amazing. The detail of the purple light from the electric... handcuff... things, the proportioned view of Zim's spider legs, and the, ahem, glow and shadow on Dib's abs... Fantastic.

Wow. Now this was disturbingly hot. But, then, I always find dark, disturbing looking scenes the hottest. My psychologist worries, yes. Hee.

Good Lord, this is amazing. So amazing that I was hoping to see that it was based on a fic, because any fic that could inspire something of this caliber has to be awesome in itself.
Mind is a nice pile of goo right now.

Probably not, they don't like to win, because it means endind their game. Zim will probably allow him to escape, and then the war starts all over again.

Love the defiance Dib exudes in both expression and pose even when trapped by Zim and held at knife point.

Okay, so this is like, so amazingly awesome I can't even find words for it. That said, I think it would be even more amazing (if that's possible) If there were just a little bit of data-stream-lyrics-whatever-amazingness-stuff in front of Dib as well as behind. At first I thought it was a background, but then I saw that it seems to be coming up from the hole...? Anyway, like I said, this is amazing. And the song so works for it. Poor Dib. The pace is too fast, he just won't last. X3

Yay, Zimmy! Kick him down the hole and you'll never see him again! What's down the hole, hell? Send Dib to hell, you know you hate him.

I hate it, when people write about a comic/cartoon series I haven't heard of and know nothing about..and this time it's even worse, cos people keep talking about a Linkin Park Song ( huge fan of LP and I love this song ) in connection to "rough ZADR" or "rough ZADR luvin" xD
Oh, and awesome pic ^^ I know absolutely nothing about this, but I like the glowing handcuffs, they rule. And also the part about the LP lyrics

You ever heard of Invader Zim? It's an awesome show aired by Nickelodeon, created by Jhonen Vasquez. Thing is, the two protagonists (alien and human kids) absolutely hate each other. So of course, dirty-minded people like us find a way to transform this into kinky sado-masochistic foreplay 
(In case you're wondering, ZADR stands for Zim And Dib Romance)
Thank you for the love!! <3

I don't think I have! Ö
Nice! xD it's the only way to go with holesome cartoons
I'll see if I can't get to see some episodes, shouldn't be too difficult, though I don't have Nickelodeon..at least I don't think so.
Thank you for all the info! : D

Well, I don't think Nickelodeon still airs them. They were on YTV recently (in Canada). The best way to find them is on DVD :3 good luck finding them, and come back to tell me if you liked it! ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, I see..
I probably can't get them unless I order them online, perhaps one of my friends have a copy of them, if I'm lucky xD hehe.

I would have commented this earlier, but I haven't been on much lately.
Anyway, wow, just... wow. This is absolutely amazing.
The form and volume of Zim and Dib's bodies really work nicely - as if you could feel the roundness if you were to reach out and grab them. Then, there's the shading and lighting on the nice roundness *swoon* I've always been a fan of crazy contrast between lights and darks, especially when there's really intensely colored light shining on the figure. It fills me with glee.
I also LOVE the glowy handcuff/song lyrics effect. It just adds another level of awesome to the picture.
Um... long story short, I am staring at pure awesome on my computer screen. XDD

As always, Swing, you produce another great piece of work!
I love this, but I don't know what I love about this the most! The poses, colouring, shading- that really baddass purple light, Zim's spider-legs, or, .. damn, Dib's jeans-!
Rock on, Chica! You did it again!

I do not believe in Zim's pak spots! It's against my religion, or something! HOW DARE YOU MENTION THEM TO MEEEEE?!?
...joking aside, usually, I just forget about them, but now it was a conscious decision so there wouldn't be details stealing your attention away from Dib's torso, lol. (That's what I told myself after realizing I forgot them...)

<333 love how you did thisss!!! the shinys are AWESOME...
plus Dib's body is just to die for.

Wow! I'm always so excited to see something new from you, this is fantastic! You're getting so good at this. And yes, male anatomy is strange, but you did a good job with Dib's torso.
You're not alone there, Linkin Park always reminds me of rough, angry ZADR luvin.
XD
Hope you're well.

Wow, hon! Damn, I was already jealous of you before, but now I'm extra!! 
But remember to take care of yourself and keep doing good! (And as a side note, I don't know if I'll get that other entry done in time, but if I ever finish the drawing, I will definitely show you

Men are shaped weird. Everytime I try to draw one they end up looking like flat-chested girls.
This is amazing. The lighting, the coloring, the style and everything. Good job.
