Yeah, but you really should sit down and watch it sometime, Sue. It's a great movie. Not to mention, it's an incredible source for great movie quotes like, "He's not dead. He's just mostly dead."
And let's not forget the wonderful sword fighting scene between Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin.
Is too late to request a sarcophagus with the lid pushed to the side revealing stairs leading down to a secret level? or any other secret location goodies..
I can work at the average rate of 2 symbols per day (sometimes only part of 1, and other times up to 10 in quick succession). I'll have to see if I have time for another type of creature when I've done all the other things I have on the list.
Yes, I managed to make them look quite a lot more scary by removing the broad band and making them less like actual Earthworms than before ;)
Its strange isn't it. Something can be made far more scary by making it even just slightly abnormal in some relatively small way. Maybe it's because we don't have a memory of seeing it in real life and have to look twice, before failing to identify it?
Oh, I did a rafflesia flower for Joe, and cheated by using a scaled down worm body as the short stem from the roots. They just pop up out of the ground, but I thought it would look a bit more creepy with a long worm-like stem. Maybe when I've done some mummies and things like that it will be even more creepy having them appear to be growing out of the bodies.
It's just so rare that I have a chance to use that word that I had to get it in there. It would be interesting to have it as a separate symbol that could be added to make giant earthworms, but it's enough of a specialty thing that there's probably not any interest from anyone except me and I am (sadly) unlikely to use it.
If the heads are also separate, the bandless worm bodies would work well as tentacles that aren't the classic octopoid-style with suckers too, and an obvious "up and down" as a result.
Comments
Yes, we had this conversation over on the FB Group page.
I've never seen "The Princess Bride" ;)
We're shocked and stunned, Sue!!! Or possibly stunned and shocked - too shocked and stunned to tell right now 😁
Thank you Manish :)
Neither have I.
Then we can be the odd ones out together, Jim :D

I think I've got the fungus set sorted out now :)
Delicious! And spider-meat "bacon". Now where's the frying pan? 😁

@Wyvern LOL!
@caveCrawler That's an interesting idea. It should be possible to put existing symbols together for that, but I will check as I work.
I forgot to add the mould!
Dee-licious! 🍳
@caveCrawler Do you mean like this?
Worms.
Are worms creepy? These are pretty large, by the way - large enough to kill a man.
What about slugs? They give me nightmares.
Hmmm. I don't know, Quenten...

Man eating worm head, by popular demand over on the FB page.
That worm head is just a few lobes shy of a rafflesia flower, which is totally appropriate for a creepy setting.
Yes Joe - both you and Jerry Theil on the FB page have drawn the same comparison I think I might do a couple of rafflesia blooms for it to hide among.
Not convinced about the scariness of ordinary worms - though the symbols are beautifully done, as we'd expect.
The maw of the "Tremors" worm is something else again though! (1990 movie - Wikipedia link for the confused!)
As for the question "Are worms creepy?", there's always the D&D Purple Worm...

Are you going to include the clitellum as a separate symbol for the worms or is it one of those things that is gone?
The orange band of the Earthworm?
At the moment it's gone, but I could have both versions if you want them.

I'll add it just for you, Joe :)
I would use it - on an awesome critter - the JOWORM!

It is probably way too late to add, but I was thinking that bones and skelletons are over done. However, what about a decaying corpse or skull?
I hadn't really thought about that part of the set just yet, Julian, but there will be mummies. Mummies can end up a bit unravelled at times...
I can't help but think that I've gotten slightly side-tracked with portals and things, but it was fun.
Those are will-o-wisps, by the way ;)
