Aegis's Brainworm Cave

♦ (They/It) ♦ Hey there! I draw meat creatures and think robots are cool! Observe in my hubris how I add yet more detail, for my work is never finished.

How much time do you artworks take? They're really beautiful :D

First off, thank you!!! Secondly, I wish I could give you a more concrete number, but the honest answer is that it depends heavily when it comes to my main style.

A lot of it is based in the fact that; to put it simply, I've got some wrist issues which gets in the way of me producing as much as I'd like, especially with how admittedly taxing the details can be despite me adoring them. For a rough ballpark I've found that headshots take me around 3+ hours and fullbody pieces are upwards of 9+ but it varies greatly depending on what I'm drawing and generally has to be scattered over a few days. So take these numbers with a massive grain of salt. I've been meaning at some point to do studies to find a more happy medium in remaining detailed but being less taxing for me; but that's going to take some time and practice on my end to figure out! In the meantime thank you so much for the kind words! Even if it takes me forever to post I love making stuff and seeing your responses always makes me giddy. <3

I saw the art in your banner and I was like “HOLY SHIT”.

It’s so peak…🥹

Thank you!!! I adored working on this piece so much (despite how long it took sdfgdfkjgn) Helminth is a dear oc to me and this was like a personal pitch piece for a concept I had. So hearing that people like it makes me really happy ! I'm really bad about remembering to record timelapses but I do have a few screenshots from when I was giving progress reports to my friends

[aegisofworms]

i love love love love love love LOVE YOUR ART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAAAAUUGHHH

Thank you!!!!!! I always have such a hard time finding the words to respond but comments like these genuinely make my day. Thank you for all the motivation you bring me to keep on drawing!! <3

Realized i never posted this sheet. Sable was my first ttrpg character for the system my friend is working on and these are a few of her tokens (and part of the asset for the topdown map of her cabin i made) She was based on videodrome. A sopping wet cat of a character, her goal is to get the people she cares about out of harms way. The curse often gets in the way of this. An utter joy to play.

Pictured: her psychic crashout. Dont worry she got better.

First attack done!

[aegisofworms]

Oh wow, i see your acc while scrolling through artfight tag and instantly fall in love with your artstyles. A bless for my eyes and brain literally.

If i could eat the way you rendering it would be rainbow-ice cream on my tongue. Much love and have fun with AF!

Thank you so much!!!!!! Artfight is one of the few things to get my ass into gear on the art front and I kind of can't help myself when it comes around. Looking forward to greebling once more.

morning repost, I really liked how this turned out

[aegisofworms]

I love you. And I'm scared of what comes next. Style test for a thing I'm working on!

[aegisofworms]

So I noticed on Helminth's AF page that you mentioned the red and teal design for it is outdated lore. What's it's new lore? Are you revamping your Whalefall of the Gods project?

It's a long story but yes, Whalefall of the Gods is being revamped. Here's a little mood sketch I made awhile back.

As for Helminth's new lore, it's complicated, and not nailed down yet, so I'm refraining from giving specifics. My apologies for the vagueness therein. Helminth loves you, and to be loved is to be changed.

Does forget-me-not have two right arms or just one?

They have 2 right arms; in my hubris I added wayyy too much detail and covered up my own work here dfngkfgdkfg (not to mention hiding the arms on the other side because I simply did not want to draw them) In all honestly though im not picky at all about interpretations, if only 1 right arm floats your boat feel free to carry on with it!!!

Sketches of Sybil Reid AKA The Rat King. I've had them around for while but haven't really figured out what I wanted for its design, so here's a quickly sketched up ref.
