This is for the OC Remix community fanart contest I just joined the forums recently to get feedback on my music, but I'd also like to contribute in something that I'm much more experienced in, and comes much more naturally!

The theme for this month is "babies", and combined with the Earthworm Jim kick I've been on for a while now, you get, well, this. I've been wanting to draw some more of the villains for a long time, but I never expected it to be like this. So here we have a few of Jim's worst enemies encountering an earthworm (is it him?) for the first time.

Evil the Kitten is curious about this string that moves of its own will, and wants to figure out how to play with it in a manner that tortures it but keeps it alive.
Little Princess Slug-for-a-Butt is repulsed by the slimy creature (you see? It's ironic!).
Bob the Not-So-Dangerous Guppy instinctively wants to have it for lunch.
Psy-Chick just wants to see it dead, and to eat it before Bob does.

So what is this, exactly, and why are these terrible children all convened? One of Professor Monkey-for-a-Head's experiments gone wrong, reverting them all into infants? Or just a cute what-if image? I'll go with the last one.

Silly as it is, it's also completely appropriate that I draw these characters, as I grew up with them and they're roughly as old as I am. Also, playing with the idea here that while everyone (including myself) likes to idealize childhood as the age of innocence, kids are pretty brutal and selfish too. You remember, don't you?

As for style, tried to keep this one simple and somewhat childish looking, with that torn-paper feel I've been rather fond of lately.

Earthworm Jim/characters (c) Doug TenNapel, Shiny Entertainment... I dunno, who does own them these days? Not me.

Title is an homage to the MGMT I was listening to when I was drawing this, SO MUCH MGMT and Of Montreal and Psycrow's theme a few times

Enjoy!
