I started with quite a dark palette too of blues and oranges which as you can see are at the darker end of the color wheel to where they could have been (the hair was lighter original and quite specifically matching the channel branding colors), but regardless of that, the characters are a little spikey too and the background a little too dark.<BR/><BR/>I rather liked Invader Zim. But then I rather enjoyed the comics, Squee and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac so I was perhaps a ready made audience for it (albeit a bit too old). I love also in Invader Zim the combination of 3D effects and 2D. Beautiful. <BR/><BR/>A lot of pitches, for me, turn into an exercise in trying something new. I think with this one I was dabbling in flat colors and textures and shade and just how much 'artwork' I could keep in Flash without taking it to After Effects. So, whilst some pitches prove unsuccessful, they're never entirely fruitless.I. N. J.
