Psst, hey,

Would anyone be interested in commissioning me, knowing there'd be a majorly long wait? Like two months potentially?

I just took a bunch of comms today to help me afford a really expensive table at a big convention, but there's actually ANOTHER convention table that I need to pay for on the same day by some miraculous coincidence. I think I can afford the massively expensive one, but I was spread super thin by it and now I don't have any change left for that second one. I might ask them for some sort of extension, but idk if they'd be so forgiving.

Here's my current commission info, if you'd be cool with a long wait, please shoot me a message.

Edit:

I think i've taken enough where I can cover the cost... I think taking any more commissions right now would be a little self destructive. But thank you so much to everyone who reached out and reblogged, you've all been a real life saver!!

How do you draw do deliciously I'm consuming your art like its a gourmet meal. With your skills it might as well actually be one!

skjdhkjdhkfdsdhf thank you!! :'D I really appreciate it 🫶🫶🫶

Would you mind if I drew my zim with the same head shape as urs, it’s a good head and ur art is so so tasty 😔😔

Thank you! Go right ahead! I never realized the way I drew his head was distinct or anything. I think my thought process was Canon but Rounder

JENNY X SHELDON FANART? MY PRAYERS BEEN ANSWERED!!

[illusioncanthurtme--art]

JENNY SHELDON FOREHEAD KISS FUCK YOU!!!!!!! 😡😡🤬🤬🤬🖕🖕

...

Gonna be real for a moment and say that I haven't watched this show in nearly a year, and idk if this pairing is deemed problematic or whatever (i think most people like jenny with brad). All I know is that a few nights ago I was driving home, and this image graced my mind, and i knew I had to make it real. I shipped the fuck out of these two when I was little. Nostalgia is a powerful thing

While we're at it: here's a drawing of zim I found while I was assembling all those drawings

[illusioncanthurtme--art]

Dibs turn!!! Everyone's least favorite boy genius!!

No fancy spread and not as many drawings as gaz, because I was struggling with drawing him for some reason. I really wanted to make some more action poses for him, but something wasn't clicking. And coloring just the first one had me gassed out so I didn't feel like doing the rest :') But of course I didn't want to sit on these so HERE HE IS!!

[illusioncanthurtme--art]

I've been waiting to share this for a while!! My design for an "older" Gaz. Of course, I love love love experimenting with any and all my invader zim fanart stuff, so any design I give these characters is subject to change. She's supposed to be a young adult, but since I didn't change her much, I think most people would assume she's a teen. I guess I don't like changing cartoon characters designs; I feel like there's a certain vibe they have as they are, and I don't want to mess with it. Besides, she has to stay short, it means she's closer to hell that way :'D

I also drew Dib of course! It's just that I don't have as many drawings of him, and they aren't all colored. I really want to do more action poses for him before I call his character board truly finished - but he's dang ol' hard to draw!! For some reason I don't understand. Because I draw him all the time. I think that's what kept me from sharing gaz, because these have been done for a long long time, but I wanted to post them together.

I think I'll share what I have of dib anyway. Soon :)

i’ve been getting back into invader zim - esp zadr - recently and i’ve gotta say you’re the reason for it. your iz stuff is SO good. you capture the original energy while bringing such style to it. your designs of the characters are so good, and looking at your art is so inspiring and honestly makes me want to get back into traditional. speaking of - your pencil work is PHENOMENAL!!! All this to say you inspire me a lot and i love seeing your iz and zadr stuff. have a lovely day :3

OUGGHHHHHGHGHH goodness gracious that is so kind... thank you so much. :') It really means a lot to hear that! I know it is silly, because it's just a nostalgic childhood show, and in the grand scheme of things - considering the impact my zim drawings have on the trajectory of my career as an artist - it's not making many waves. But it's surprising how it's turned into this outlet of creative experimentation for me. It's kind of made me stop and ask myself what kind of art I really like creating. And of course I love sharing the stuff I make with everyone here. And I'm really happy I could be a source of inspiration for you!!

I just have to let you know I have a crush on the way u draw Dib…

KJFKSDFHDSJ lmao thank you :'D💞 I don't think *in universe* a single damn person would have a crush on him lol

[illusioncanthurtme--art]

your iz work is so 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

good LORD every post is such a banger

art so good i feel my skeleton vibrate

Thank you friend, it means an awful lot!!! :'))))💖💖💖💖💖

Cringe ass zadr drawings under the cut:

All these drawings are really really old by now, but like I said in the last post, I wanna share as an act of pseudo backwards self care, because although I love sharing this stuff and seeing your reaction, I'm also horrifically embarrassed and mortified with myself for actually posting these. If you follow my tumblr you're a real one. You see the stuff other people don't. But with great power comes great responsibility so BE NICE 2 MEEEE!!!! 😭 pleas don't tease me

Also I hate the fact that I need to say this, but the iz fandom has such a weird fucking climate, and to hopefully prevent 30% of the anons I get from feeling like they need to say something, please know that anytime I draw dib as an adult, zim is also an adult and vice versa, and anytime I draw dib as a kid, so is zim, and vice versa.

I feel like you would like Delicious in Dungeon! If you don't, tho that's cool too!

I do!! I started reading the manga a couple weeks ago and I'm really enjoying it so far!! I have some leftover sticker paper I've been making little handmade stickers on, and I made some for the main four. I sold senshi and marcille at the con I tabled at last saturday, but I shared them to my IG story and forgot to share here. Here's how they all turned out:

I drew chilchuck first because he's my favorite...... none of you are surprised.

[illusioncanthurtme--art]

She got em 😔

This is very old. But life has been repeatedly kicking me while I'm down, and I want to share something because sharing these stupid drawings and seeing how people react brings me some joy :')

I'll admit I did plan on finishing this at some point, but it's gotten too old to the point where... it's just too old. I don't want to touch it.

Also YES dib is catfishing zim 1000000000000%

[illusioncanthurtme--art]

I don't deserve your love :(

But please go boop me where I reblog things: @illusioncanthurtme >:)

[illusioncanthurtme--art]

your eye with pencil work is absolutely insane, your work just exudes raw skill! i def need to hit you up for a commission. found you from your smiling friends art & im def wanting to see more obscure adult cartoon stuff from you

Thank you so much man!! It really means a lot! I really need to rewatch that show again before watching the next season. I still think about random moments from it on occasion because it's just so damn memorable :')💖
