Loving Sandworms Textures

One of the hardest things for me in this project was the textures of the sandworms’ skin. Here are some of my experiments.

There was a lot of trial and error here. The one in the middle I started to find something that worked and inked it. For inspiration I looked at a lot of art on Pinterest. Basil Wolverton and Robert Crumb were particularly influential.

After the above test I did a larger one at the size I would actually be drawing the piece.

This is the texture I settled on. For the finished piece I penciled in all of the texture all the way down each worm’s body so I could see how it looked before I inked it.
