Loving Sandworms
The inspiration for this one came from photos of swans facing each other forming the shape of a heart.
To create this I started out drawing just one sandworm and experimenting until I got the shape right. I scanned it, duplicated it, and reversed it. At this point I just had two basic shapes. So I made a rough tracing of them and filled in details for each individually. I wanted them to look alike but not identical. Inking one then making a mirror image of it would be cheating.
The skin textures and segments of each are different. The teeth, smiles, and head positions are different. I even made the color of each worm slightly different, but not too different. I didn’t want to ruin the symmetry.
