Slugworm trouble: part 1 (Patreon)

The monster of the month is the slugworm (sorry, naming things is still hard), a smallish slug like creature with a soft fleshy body, no bones, no teeth. They live in colonies of hundreds of individuals, in nests just below the surface. They prefer warm dark places, for themselves and for their eggs.   

The critter has 2 ways of bringing down prey, both involving lots of quick drying rubbery acidic slime it spits out of the three appendages on its head. If the opponent is up to ~10 meters away, slime is used to root the prey in place. Then once it has closed the distance, it covers its prey with as much slime as necessary to fully restrain it. The slime sticks to anything except to the slug itself, so the slug just uses its own body to smear the slime all over whatever it is that needs to stop moving. The slime contracts as it dries, and is highly tear, cut and puncture resistant.

The new works can be found in the Slugworm trouble folder in the archive. This is the start of a 6 page story (maybe more), based on a commission I am working on at the moment.

This is sort of a test of trying out some new things. Also, I've heard so many interesting ideas over the past few months that I want to draw, that maybe I should focus on shorter more condensed stories so I can do more of them.

Also, 1040 supporters!? This is so far beyond what I expected, that it's not even funny. I again don't know what to say. It's just  hard to believe things have been going so well. I am really grateful for all the support. I just hope I can keep you guys entertained.
