king worm

another set of weird characters. I like the way king Worm turned out. the jagged crown is cool. the other guy seems a bit out of it. the overall feel was Sendak inspired. I think he could have a stronger pose.

Originally posted on my instagram and I’m really proud of this caption, I think it suggests a little story with very few words. It has a sense of melancholy. One of the best I’ve written.
