The White Worm

The Giant Wormy Ice Pirate With Eyes Made of Blood

It’s Summertime, all of us tend to be enjoying activities of some kind or another and I know it’s harder to find time to draw when, you’re not actually bored or held captive by weather… so I’m trying to make these next ones easier in a few ways… I’m giving you two weeks again, and our beast this time, is at it’s simplest interpretation, a giant iceberg captaining maggot! And I’m relatively confident all of you can draw a maggot.

Technically our protagonist this week is known by Rlim Shaikorth. He Comes from the mind of Lovecraft’s bud, Clark Ashton Smith, as part of his additions to the Cthulhu Mythos, and it appears in his “Hyperborean” cycle of stories. But for simplicity sake, we’re going with the more commonly used “White Worm” mostly cause i have no idea how to pronounce a “l” that falls after an “r”…

Now the physical description is pretty simple, he’s a giant white worm with a gaping maw and drops of blood for eyes. For the setting, perhaps you’s like to include his giant floating ice fortress called Yikilth that he can pilot like a ship and attack ships, shorelines, entire villages and the like with incredible blasts of cold. Which according to Wikipedia leaves his victims “frozen solid, their bodies appearing eerily white, and remain preternaturally cold—they will not melt nor warm even when exposed to fire.” But if you’d rather him playing beach volleyball or nibbling on some summer melons… I’m not complaining.

So get to it! We’re obviously hurting for contributors these last few weeks so know all levels of talent are welcome and my recommendation is always draw fast, draw early and bask in the of your accomplishment for the rest of the time!

“are you there, god? it’s me, ice worm” – Dammit! you got me with the caption! And how amazing is a gaping maw when its closed up tight in a frown! At least she found a really pretty and fortress of solitude like spot to be sad and confused about the highs and lows of worm puberty!

Judge’s Commentary – Well facebook votes were the judge so we’ve got none… so ‘ll just pretend… cause Judy Blume is forever!!! And cause sad is the new happy! Ha!

Oh hell yes! So not only am I entertained and intrigued by the potential in the technique, but I’m pretty damn happy that the assorted motley crew of said plundered or soon to be plundered ship includes a snowman… He just makes everything more festive!

Judge’s Commentary – Well facebook votes were the judge so we’ve got none… so ‘ll just pretend… cause cutting sh*t out is cool!

Ha! Are those tears? and what is it about seanist beasts in ill fitting hooded costumes that I love so? This one in particular reminds me a lot of the Venture Bros where Dr Girlfriend set the famed Rusty V into chrysalis and he just kept vomiting silk and weaving it uncontrollably with a weird sense of instinctual satisfaction!

Judge’s Commentary – Well facebook votes were the judge so we’ve got none… so ‘ll just pretend… cause beards and antennae just go well together!

“Captain Tekillyah Brainfreeze” – You know, kind of a genius marketing idea for a frozen margarita mix… the tagline could simply be “unfathomably cold!”… Great bloody eyes and that pacman ghost jolly rodger on the sombrero made me lol.

So is it the outstreched arms or the light in his eyes coupled with the open mouth that make me think he is belting out a rousing worm pirate chantey? And this one is getting far enough from grub and close enough to marshmallow that I’m starting to ponder if he is delicious?

hmmm so floating iceberg in the foreground with a giant bloody eyed doom maggot on a branch? or same bloody eyed doom maggot but sitting in front of a distant ocean facing ice cliff? Regardless seems like a pretty nice spot to metamorphasize… if you were to ask me and if that’s a word?

Man I love old people speak! I mean how often do you get to say scram these days? Especially in a manner so frostily powerful like that even your caption has icicles! That being said, who here thinks that on an ice island that desolate and cold, he really means it? He has to know, that this is how most best buddies first meet right?

So cause his tongue looks a lil like a pretty valentines heart… does that mean he’s like an angler fish of lost love?… no… cause he’s out to sea on an iceberg and I’ve seen Cabin Boy so I know sailors are salty foul mouthed dogs not carrying for the likes of love nor stuffed monkeys… so I’m just gonna say the heart tongue is one of those unique coincidences… and how great are the multitude of lil nubbly rotten teef we’re getting this beast!

We’ve got a late one! But he’s pretty great so he can get thrown in the mix without too much chastising… It’s funny I just spent like 15 minutes trying to explain “from Beyond” to someone last week and it would have been easier to just show him this lil guy… And I kinda assume those are more gesture lines, but I really like the idea that its thin Sasquatch fur! I mean it is unfathomably cold!

The White Worm Entry # 12

The Third Place Free For All Entry

Something about this dude’s long thin structure that makes me feel less like he is floating in the arctic and more that he’s atop the remnants of a dumpling in someones digestive tract, but those hollow bloody eyes do chill me to my core!

Judge’s Commentary – A little ET-ish, But it makes me smile! Sooo expressive “in my mind” I know just what he’s saying… But I’m not telling!
