Description
We’re s- so very small, in the end.Against my better judgement, posting this now. Otherwise I will probably spend the rest of tomorrow nitpicking. Especially since I was working from memory, ehehe...
Taylor's character progression from a bullied civilian through Skitter, Weaver, and Khepri.
Skitter/Khepri's costume is a nod to 's excellent concept art.
As always, link back here if you share this.
Worm and its protagonist belongs to Wildbow, go read it already.

You're in for a fun time! Be careful, though, a lot of Worm fanart has spoilers.

i know, i stopped after she turned herself in, taking a small break. You know i still keep wondering why she didn't start using crabs after the noelle arc.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a good spot to take a break, actually.
(Probably lack of easy proximity. It's easy to be stealthy with bugs, but an army of crabs marching across town is pretty noticeable.)

I feel it too.
Lol I dont know if you read manga or watch anime but i can't help but wonder what would happen if taylor had some JOJO powers like Soft and Wet, or The Hand, or one that has me the most interested, If she had Hermit purple and could use Hamon like joseph joestar and later be nudge to use Spin.
No i mean she had Lisa's power at her disposal, economically, or even before then, she could have ordered a bunch of fresh crabs use her power to pack them into semitruck, i know noticeable but if she wanted to do damage or bybass certain tinker defences against bugs it could be pretty cool. Also getting scorpions, or using her silk string to hear thing like phone cups.

Sounds about accurate to the plot, then

one of the best written female protagonists i've read yet! great work portraying her transformations!
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
If so I think you'll like Paksenarrion, if you haven't read it already.
It's the only fantasy story I've read where the main character consciously chooses, of their own free will, to go adventuring, rather than being forced by circumstance or dragged off by a crazy wizard and [insert minions of choice].

Thanks! Yeah, Taylor is definitely my favorite female literary protagonist. She just makes a lot of sense to me, for some reason?

nice. final armor was black bodysuit white armor and lenses iirc?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I just forgot. (all the comments by the other characters about her dressing in Skitter's gear confused me)

She looks short and stocky instead of freakishly tall and skinny.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Meh. She's wearing baggy clothes/layered body armor, there was a limit to how skinny I could go and be believable. Probably could have given her scrawnier legs, though.

Just finished this and I can truly appreciate how awesome this piece is.

This is fantastic. I love the depiction of Khepri looked up to the stars through her cracked lenses!

Thank you!
uuuugh I miss drawing fanart. Semester's almost over, though...

The quote you chose is so perfect for this. It brings you back to her broken state of mind. Gives me chills.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! And aaagh, yeah, that last arc *sniffles*
I think my roommates thought I was crazy- every update day was all 'THE NEW CHAPTER IS OUT I MUST READ IT EVEN THOUGH IT WILL BREAK MY HEART! *reads* AAAAA IT's WORSE THAN I THOUGHT! *huddles in corner and refuses to be comforted*'
Seriously, mad props to Wildbow for that.

Yes, Weaver is the most terrifying. That eye!
"You will not enjoy this, but it will be over quickly!"
Khepri is perfect. She is both broken down and not quite human anymore - is she looking at the stars right before Contessa-surgery?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...Aaaand now I have that rap battle stuck in my head again. Thanks
Yup! I had quotes from each arc in the original sketch, and Khepri's was indeed the "We're s- so very small, in the end." line.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh my god, this is amazing - and somehow the Weaver one turns out to be the most terrifying. Just that eye, that says:
"You think I'm going to be nice, just because I wear lighter colours? Well, what do you think of this knife? And these bees? And those maggots in your throat? I killed an S-Class threat whith a line of silk, just like this one, once. Still think you can take me?"

Heehee, thanks. The Weaver arc was really just two years' worth of bad days for Taylor, wasn't it? On the bright side, the PRT learned to just throw her at problems until said problems went away (possibly limping and missing their eyes)

Amazing, amazing amazing amazing.
Amazing.
Did I say amazing yet? AMAZING.
So many stars. The universe so vast.

This is freaking perfect i love it so much. The personality coming off of each incarnation is tangible.

WHOOO! Attempt succeeded! <-- fussed over poses for way too long

Fantastic.
I love Weaver's eye and Taylor's hair in general.
Great work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dark, curly hair is the best thing to draw ever. (Or at least it's super fun)
Thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Weaver, and probably Khepri should have sub-eye lenses. They appear in the S9000 arc where she reveals that they have tactical lamps under the lenses.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yessss. Yess I definitely knew that. *shifty eyes*
I swear, just going to ask SB next time I need costume design reminders. Not worth getting suckered into rereading half of Worm. Again.
(I swear I've read the S9 arc five times)

ohhhhh my GOSH, this is awesome!!!! I like that you kept her hair crazy and didn't make her too pretty! also, armor for every era, let the people say amen
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha, thank you. Curly hair is awesome!
Also, this was the first time I ever actually had fun drawing armor (as opposed to the Weaver one, which was all 'aaaaagh I wanna dieeee lemmejustdrawmorebugs')
What's next?
...BACKGROUNDS??
(no)

Wow, very nice!
Was Weaver so unkempt and messy? Maybe it's just the hair, but she still looks like a villain. No wonder Glenn was so worried about her image, hehe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Every time I draw Taylor, her hair gets crazier. I can't help it!
That said, long hair doesn't stay nice in battle, no matter what conditioner you use.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is a good point, who wouldn't just tie their hair back?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess when you aren't relying on your eyes to see, you get more options?
(Also, I'm picturing her using her bugs to untangle her hair. Taylor is creepiest Disney princess.)
