Gir, the Mighty Waffle-Rider

DAMN CAMERA!!!! So freaking blurry! It's the best I could make it...T_T

Anywho, about the art: If you are somehow blind or not in touch with your inner Gir today, this is the robot from the show Invader Zim that we all love. YAY GIR! You can’t see it very well, but he’s sitting on a waffle. How very Gir-like, eh? I've been thinking about making another one, except in his dog costume...I might never get to it but it's worth a thought.

Invader Zim is a show that used to be on Nickelodeon awhile back. Then they did the worst possible thing they could EVER do: they canceled it. THEY CANCLED IT. Those bastards!!! It was a hilarious show, probably the best one they'd ever had. But even with the show not airing anymore, Invader Zim still lives on in the hearts of millions of people, including many anime fans.

This took me about 3-4 days to make out of clay, toothpicks, Elmer’s glue, a waffle maker, and acrylic paints. (The waffle maker was for the waffle Gir is sitting on.) So many problems came up when making this! The Katamari Prince was easier to make than Gir for some reason. You may notice that he's leaning back a lot, that's cause he sagged while drying. I was supporting him and everything, and yet he still sagged! Hi-yuo, I can't win. and I realized the colors weren't quite right once it was all glued, so I had to paint it again ON THE STAND. That is like a death sentence! A rule of thumb when making these things is that you ALWAYS paint it before you glue it. It was really hard, I tell you! I could go on for another hour, but I'm sure you people don't want to hear about it so ENJOY GIR FROM INVADER ZIM!
