#worm god

[dustbunnystudios]

I really wanted to paint a biblically actuate Worm on a string so I did. Wormy was painted with gouache paint, acrlic ink and gold acrylic pens.

Vision 47

When the loathsome serpent of the Deep struck, Auryx did not falter. A thousand teeth against the simple might of his steadfast blade; for even as its endless coils took his ship, he would take its life! My entry for the Destiny2 Plunder Zine. more! pirate! hive!

To be hollowed out, becoming the glass structure that entraps Light & digests its screams as a Beacon that signals the Witness' path towards finality, its bones a twisted memory of life cast aside for salvation...

My piece for the #DisciplesofTheWitness zine ✨️🔥✨️

Concept art & some lore bits below ~ (bc this look is VERY lore heavy LOL)

This is what Witness did with the Hive, but if it was a human Guardian instead. Sort of a "what would that look like as someone from Earth by today's standards", since my main OC is pre Golden Age era.

In feeling hollowed out by the sufferings in life, it meant being asked to be literally hollow. Wanting to become precision, the shell molded into sharpened glass that you hear gently scraping together when walking, etc. The bones are wrung into strangling branches holding up the glass shell.

In becoming an agent of evil, it comes in the vague form of a business suit. Because of course it does. Pre golden age was brimming with corporate corruption; few things say "darkness" like a business suit. But Darkness itself is far too beloved to not adorn the shell; becoming the curtains for the shattered windows (symbolism, anyone?) until the moment comes to construct the glass tower that becomes the full form of The Beacon of The Witness.

That tower is a worm god. One who's entire structure was broken down and joined with the disciple. Now hollowed out and made of glass, either spread flat across the ground beneath the disciple's feet (which can never disconnect from the worm now) or erected as the tower; a form that can indeed be inhabited. Not that most survive the experience.

The worm's sharpened glass form cuts ahead into populated areas, consuming people, trapping them in its walls & draining them of any life force or Light they may have. That is the light of the Beacon at work.

Unless doing such work, the Beacon takes this form more commonly.

No matter what, the Darkness never lets go.

Inktober 52 2024 - Week 12 - 'Spring'

This was a good excuse to revamp an old worm god of mine, who was the god of spring. Representing new life and metamorphosis. Some say it can change form, but only of an infantile version of whatever it changes into.

It was never my best designed worm god (I'll post the old pictures down below) so a revamp was sorely needed.

I had finished this on Tuesday but while I like the new design I felt I needed to push it more, maybe something better representing new flowers or baby birds. It's definitely caterpillar like. Then at 5am on the way to work I got an idea of how I could bring back its legs.

Already had it looking a bit saintly, so I pictured it medieval style in a bird's mouth like a saintly sacrifice. Now it's got running legs! Will tinker more with the design in the future, maybe it can bring back it's body feelers over the caterpillar legs, but will see.

Old ancient and crusty design below!

I need to settle on a design for worm god. Like I hate that I cannot draw what’s in my head, and for practicality stuff, I have to simplify him down or else I’ll never be able to draw him again. But it sucks either way imo

In my head he still is very worm shaped, just a absolute massive kaiju of a worm, able to leave a sinkhole that just swallows up big parts of a city or even swallow up a smaller town entirely. And I want him to have skulls, like god houses a bouquet of thousands of human skulls all facing outwards upon each other

But also eek eek drawing that is hellish. If I ever do attempt to draw he properly, imma probably carve a small variety of skull stamps facing different directions n angles, n do a giant mix media god via that way. If I do the drawing big enough then I can put so so many skulls as well or som

The Worm on a string took control of my brain and made me crochet it into existence

Worm: a thing that exists

There's an astronomical aberration, unknowable is its name. So, for Irony's sake, say worm (not snake; we'll keep the imagery lame). This worm has an end, an inside and out, rippley skin and leathery snout. This worm is quite plump, but shrively too— which happens to rhyme with point of view. This worm consumes This worm gestates This worm emmits This worm pulsates

yet

The cruelest lesson we learn from worm comes from question most kind. 'Fyou're something like me ya'ask what she seeks, but wormy, my dear, is blind. x'( This poor omnipotent presence pitifully slithers through dirt— dirt of the mind, of space and of time —unbothered by ideas of worth.

So next time the the sidewalk is dry next time the coiled lay died turn to the worm, his palace of sky and all's left will be all right. alternative title, God is a worman

anyways look at my baby girl

[infection-zone]

When Humanity fled from the cities, God did not pursue, instead he borrowed and rested, corrupting the soil and giving rise to those that create monsters in his image.

When humanity realized what was happening, they banded together again. There they lead parties to find and burn the trees that grew from the ground God laid upon. With this came heavy causalities, with humans dying to destroy any trees they can find, and monsters fighting to defend their territory and the trees that birthed them

never let anyone tell you that trawling through mediocre victorian poetry isn't worth it. we just happened upon an absolute BANGER of a worm poem. go read it or else 🪱🪱🪱
