glad u asked!! i have some set information about him, but idk if i’ll actually write him into anything because i’m not really good at writing stories so that doesnt really come naturally to me. however, here’s some stuff i have about him currently:

• as for basic physical information, he’s 24, 6'2, and pretty physically fit. <- that’s kind of a necessity for the kind of stuff he does
• as an entertainer, he really enjoys making others happy, partially to distract both himself and others from his issues.
• in addition to that, he hates and fears others learning how he’s REALLY doing mentally, because he doesn’t want to have unwanted assumptions made about him and to make others sad or concerned.
• he’s the definition of the “sunshine” character. he’s very expressive, although a bit impulsive and a slight adrenaline junkie.
• sunny, the sun character i draw him with, is basically henry’s ego. he IS him, but in a more pure form. because of this, he has a more exaggerated, cartoony version of henry’s personality, as it’s not really limited by the human mind/form. interactions between the two can represent both his internal monologue and how he feels about himself, like a more complex angel/devil on the shoulder. along with this he can also act like an imaginary friend.

that’s all i have so far!! i’ll probably add more in a reblog if i add more to his character :]

EHAHWIFUBRJE THANK YOUU

yeah i’ve watched like every video on that guy 😭 i think his videos are comedic gold works of art, but not in the way they were originally intended. i implore anyone who sees this to go experience ded6 for yourself as well, you will not be disappointed

if you doodoo on yourself. and i live by that 💯

long time no dib (it hasnt been that long to me but yknow)

in my experience it can definitely vary between manufacturers, i’ve ordered from a few including vograce and some other stores on aliexpress. vograce is definitely a good one if you want to order in bulk, their moq for many of their items is at least 3 i think. i don’t think there’s any way to pick which printing options you want unless you look at the product description, it should typically tell you (i’ve yet to see any stores that offer rgb printing in my experience) so if you’re worried about the colors you could always up the saturation a bit, but personally i haven’t had any problems with dullness with my keychains! i hope this helps :]

ok so!! the filters i added were:

-darken the brightness a bit

-grain

-slight blur

-a little vignette

these are typically what i add. depending on what i’m going for i like to tweak it a bit, but this is how i achieve that older “recorded off a dvd or vhs” effect. i also use the free editing program shotcut!

they’ll be on my bigcartel! it’s not open yet, i’m still trying to figure out some stuff i have to set up beforehand. i’ll make a post when it’s open! the shop name is madcartoonist btw :]

i have! i really liked it, i had to watch it twice to get a better understanding of it. i heavily relate to lain and her experiences, both in the anime and the psx game. i actually just made a clay figure of her..

yeah!! here’s the babies

i actually haven’t sold them yet! i’m gonna be selling them along with other characters after i do a run of my mario and luigi superstar saga keychains. they will be preorders first and then shipped and sold by me.

a few things:

• try adding a small and subtle drop shadow under the characters your animating, like it’s a cel! since the cel and background layers wouldn’t be completely flat irl since they’re on separate sheets there would be some space where a shadow is left.
• grain filter! i like to add it and i think it adds a lot. also a slight blur filter!
• play with the colors in an editing program! in shotcut i like to use the default technocolor filter to make it darker/more saturated or faded

that’s my main things i like to add! hope this helps :]

absolutely!! it’s been some time since i thought about him since invader zim’s been on the brain but i’d be happy to let you do that!! 💛

I got 2 of them from ebay (the regular one and the jester one) and i found the vampire one from my local goodwill! if it helps, they’re called oriental trading smiley face plushies and they sometimes pop up on ebay. i wish u luck with finding some! theyre so cute 😭

AAAH YAY THANK YOU!!! And of course!! I have some ideas for what lead him to that point and what he’d currently up to. (AND YES FANART WOULD BE AWESOME!!!)

I imagine what happens to him over the years is that he begins to distance himself from his current situation and goes and finds people who actually want him around and appreciate his presence/have shared interests. I’d imagine he’d find people like this on internet forums. When he graduates highschool and finally gets to have a chance at restarting his reputation and having a fresh start at adulthood.

I’d imagine he starts out working some bullshit jobs that just get him by comfortably and not really anything in relation to science or anything as this is just like, REALLY boring to him. This would give him enough time to himself to indulge in his interest in paranormal studies and such. In the current day (to him) he’s 22 and working as a bartender. I don’t exactly know why I picked that job, but he enjoys it and he appreciates the tips. He finds working jobs completely separate to his interests is a lot better for him in the long run (very relatable to me as a neurodivergent person) and is overall VERY much happier and less stressed than he was as a child.

I would imagine at some point he’d probably pay ZIM a visit, as he sometimes wonders what he’s up to. I thought of a little storyline in which they regain contact and it’s a little different now, as it’s like 10 years later, and highlights their differences in their perceptions of time. I don’t really know if i’d actually write this though because idk what i’d really do with it.

That’s about it though! If i think of anything else I’ll add it later in a reblog. Ty again for the ask!!
