The Great 'Tak' Mystery... SOLVED!!
The Great 'Tak' Mystery... SOLVED!! by @tarysand (Taryn Sanders)

Yo, listen up, here's the story... Now anyone who's familiar with my pictures and visits my archive a lot knows that I just really really do not like Tak. And YET(!!!) they also know that I keep drawing all these pictures of her!! I mean, you'd think I was her biggest fan the way I crank out the Tak fanart, and believe me, this could not be further from the truth. So why, you ask, would someone spend their time drawing all these pictures of a character they really don't care for? Hell, I wondered this myself and puzzled over it quite a bit, but after reading the new chapter in Flipside's ZIM fanfic, 'A Room With a Muse' I got this idea, and now I think I finally figured it out, and... IT'S ALL NAILS'S FAULT!! Anyone who's sifted through my archive ALSO knows that Nails is my muse that lives in my head and presides over all my artwork. And now I'm positive that SHE'S the one behind this Tak-drawing obsession of mine. It certainly would explain why I draw so much of her, even though I personally can't stand her. Either Nails actually LIKES Tak, or she's just doing it to torture me.
Well anyway, I thought I'd draw this little comic to sort of illustrate that on-going battle between Nails and me when it comes to drawing the Tak art. Oh yeah, don't you love her little stuffed Godzilla? ^^ She likes Godzilla. And Cherry Slushies. Dusts off her hands Well, that wraps up THAT mystery. Now to figure out who's been haunting that old, abandoned amusement park. TO THE MYSTERY MACHINE!!! Artwork © Copyright 2002 Taryn Sanders

Har! Ace, I love that last panel in particular. :-)

Heyhey, if you don't wanna draw more Tak try and pop that inspiration over to my head! No wait, I'm supposed to be drawing Dib. No! I have to do commissions first. Argh, oh man! I don't know what I'm doing! Oh well. This rocks anyway!

XD! Yes, I had been wondering that. Curse you, Nails!! As for my muse...he is unnamed but recently has me pouring out waaaay too much Yu-Gi-Oh fanart. What's up with that?! pokes Unnamed Are you forgetting what we're SUPPOSED to be fans of?

Unnamed: ^_^ Aww, come on. You love the Kaiba.

Des: Don't distract me with bishi. I'm an Invader Zim fangirl. ZIM!!

Unnamed: If you say so.

Des: That's it! takes out Spooky, squeeks uncontrollably

Unnamed: ACK! Patented Holy Squeek Technology! poofle

Des: Hm...where was I? Oh yes, the pic. Nails is really spiffy, I like the last panel. And how you look so confused in the second. XD Priceless.

Okay let me ramble on about the pannels x.x

I LOVE THIS!! Holy crumpits and fig newtons. I wish I could draw like that AND color like that! I have no idea why, but I love your muse's expression, here. o.o Eh, anyway... At least you know WHO makes you draw Tak. But why...? spooky background music o__o

Awww, man you are GOOD at this! I have tried desprately to forget the fact I am sort of a living muse for my split personality (excuse me while I beat the crap out of nonbelievers) but have failed mostly. Heh, I make her draw the oddest things, and then laugh as she throws them at her own head...mmmyep...Well, I wish I could draw as well as you, but my coloring skills are yet to be matched! You are a very good artist, and in this one I like the third panel the best...that expression on your face is a classic. I'm gonna gonna go throw some kittens out a window to see if they land on their feet, kay?

LOL! Heheh yep, it's great to have a muse. I have random bouts of inspirations that I refer to as 'muses'. Mostly from listening to soundtracks. Ain't it fun the way those little demons manipulate you into making masterpeices? :)

Posted: Monday, 05 August, 2002 @ 02:34 PM

Hehe!

Look on the bright side... at least Nails hasn't made you draw a picture of Tak on an elaborate throne with the regulars 'bowing down to her greatness' while Dib pushes Gretchen aside to give Tak a truckload of valentines.

...yet ^_~

Posted: Monday, 05 August, 2002 @ 07:11 PM

heh, reminds me of that something in my mind making me draw countless invader zim pictures... ^^V You rock. I never seen Tak so...i dunno.

Posted: Friday, 09 August, 2002 @ 04:27 AM

Lmao!!!!! Haah i love ur expression in the uugh.... 3RD panel!!! its sooo funnY!!!!! hahahahahar har harhar... ps, remember that pic u were doing of all the artists and Dib together? are you still doing that anymore?

Posted: Friday, 16 August, 2002 @ 03:29 PM

That is funny! It s good work, as always. Kinda reminds me of the muse and the voice in my head that argues with her about everything I should draw... Bah!

Posted: Sunday, 15 September, 2002 @ 01:52 AM

BWAHA! Yes, I love. ^_^ Not to mention I rather know the feeling...only I tend to draw things like evil floating weenies or creepily smiling math teachers when I'm not paying attention, instead... Bah. Muses. shrug No comment.

I don't see why you don't like Tak so much. And yet, you draw her way better than I do. Hey, Nails, quit maken her draw somone she doesn't like! But still, Taryn, you should concider yourself LUCKY. A lot of my Tak drawings don't even LOOK like her. Look at me, I drew a lot of pix of Zim going through painful things. And yet, I still like him 'cause if it wern't for him, the show wouldn't have shown and if the show hadn't shown, I would draw my beloved Dib and become the artist I am today.
