Description
"Oh, my dear. I didn't mean to imply that you have a choice. I will make you another in a long tradition of Worm Thralls, and take my time in studying you. Your very soul will be forfeit to me."
This started as a simple play on Mannimarco's title, a close-up of a gnarly skull and maybe a few maggots in the dirt. Apparently my hand had other ideas and now it's a Renaissance painting.
All hail the King of Worms, finally he joins them in the ground.

**Edit: Oh wow, a DD? Thanks to kevintheradioguy for the suggestion, and LenamoArt for the feature! This was one of my first attempts to get back into painting and there is a lot I could improve, but the responses so far have been very encouraging and inspire me to keep at it. Thank you all so much!

Now this is cool! I could stare at this for quite some time and find more things to note about it. Amazing and fantastic in all its macabre wonder.

Thank you so much! The whole intention of the piece was to add worms and make it gnarly, but after all the work I got cold feet and almost didn't add them. I'm glad I went with it in the end, not too many people seem utterly horrified.

King of Worms! Monarch of Maggots! Prince of Pupae!
Silliness aside, that's a really nice painterly style

Thank you! I'm not quite sure how the hell it happened, but I'm quite glad it did ... painting something like this again, however, will be the real test.

Why do I get the feeling that this kind of looks like King Leoric from the Diablo Series but in the Diablo III artwork? But anyways great artwork, it's very weird and creepy at the same time and boy do I love it? Yes, yes I do.
