#wormdas

[partial-prints]

My collection of wormdas drawings from the jcs worm festival on their own (don’t worry, more are coming when I have the time)

The drawings have definitely improved since the first little doodle

(reference photos and some short rambles below the cut)

Ok so you can see that unlike the first two, the final picture is not a still from jcs, but it’s still significant and I’ll tell you why.

They are two characters from Commedia Dell’arte, Pierrot on the left and Columbine (sometimes written as Columbina) on the right. Now, in Commedia Dell’arte Pierrot is known as the sad clown because he loves Columbine, but she always leaves him in the end, choosing Arlecchino (aka Harlequin) over him, thus leaving him pining for his lost love

Sure Jesus didn’t leave Judas for another person, but he did still leave him in the end. I also just really love Pierrot and Judas so it was fun drawing one as the other

I love love love Pierrot and Commedia Dell’arte, so if you’ve read this far, thanks for listening to me yap about them!
