Well, why not? I mean, everything else is literally just pictures of peoples 'sig' worms, or comics.
So yeah, I had this idea. Why not make a thread for actual fan art for Team17?
I mean, common. Give them at least something back. Give them a reason to even visit the fanart forum. :p
Like I got to thinking about my old days on W:A and Worms 3D, and made this...

Rules to posting art in this thread. Why rules? Because most of you are out of control.
Rule #:
1. Must be Team17 related art. Does not have to be worms.
2. No sigworms, or any other made up stuff. If it's not in the game, I don't want to see it here.
3. Be creative.
4. Have fun. Or else.:mad:

That's just beautiful, by the way. As always, your shading is fantastic.

I did very much fall in love with the shading. Its also a picture that you can take a second, third and fourth look at and see something new. I didn't notice that mine in the background until now (and I bet no one else reading this post did!)

Incidentally, its not "common", its "c'mon!"

This could turn out to be one of the better threads in existence :D

This thread is a rather similair idea to the idea behind that other thread that I tried to make.

Let's hope this thread is more sucessfull.

EDIT: Shading is awesome. but more awesome is the expressions.
Every time I look at Slick's art I feel inspired to do something myself. Shame I lack a scanner so I can only do computer drawn stuff which isn't as good as my hand drawn stuff.

NO, IT MOST CERTAINLY CANNOT.
Somebody please help this man.

Fan art is drawings, i.e pen and paper or computer. Screenshots are not Fan art. And for the record, Team 17 didn't even make the mobile version.

Believe it or not, but he's right. Your comic is more 'forum' related. Pikkuls is actually closer to the theme. :p

I don't think I've ever played a Worms game with the "POOT!" effect, but I wish I have.

Paul.Power
28 Aug 2007, 12:20
Comic idea:

Two worms on the same team are in a hole in the ground. Another worm on a different team walks up to them, carrying a banana. He peers over the edge of the hole

Enemy worm: Hey there, I'm here to destroy you.
Worm 1: Oh well, that's what we get for living in a turn-based universe.
Worm 2: Aren't you a little bit close to be firing that thing?
Enemy worm: (jumps down) Nah, see this is a suicide attack.
Worm 2: A what?
Enemy worm: Well, I'm low on health and there's two of you guys, so my commander thought it'd be a good trade-off for the extra accuracy of point-blank range.
Worm 1: Oh, I see. Those commanding officers, eh?
Enemy worm: Yeah. More likely to get you killed than the worms on the other side. Well, metaphorically speaking anyway.
Worm 2: But aren't you afraid to die?
Enemy worm: Doesn't matter, really. We all get resurrected for the next round, anyway.
Worm 2: That's just silly talk.
Enemy worm: You don't believe in the Resurrection?
Worm 2: Well, no. Oh, our commanders tell us it happens, but we don't have any evidence for it.
Worm 1: I think you'd better have a chat with the padre when all this is over.
Enemy worm: Well, at the start of the next round, certainly.
Worm 1: Heh.
Enemy worm: So, shall we do this thing?

If anyone feels like drawing this into a comic page, feel free.

Some awesome stuff here.

Evolution of the Worm.:p

edit: I originally wanted to make this more elaborate, but worms are evolutionarily simple creatures so I ran into difficulty there.Well, at the very least they're tripoblasts rather than dipoblasts.

A dipoblast is an animal with no "middle": they just have an outside and an inside (i.e. a skin and a digestive tract, but nothing else). The only modern examples of dipoblasts are jellyfish. A tripoblast is an animal with an outside, an inside and an in-between layer. Everything else in the animal kingdom, from worms to beetles to fish to reptiles to us, is a tripoblast. The earliest recorded tripoblast fossil (to my knowledge) dates from 570 million years ago, some 40 million years before the Cambrian Explosion, at a time when dipoblasts of various shapes and sizes ruled the waves.

OTOH, there shouldn't be a fish there. Fish are vertebrates, worms are not.

Unless you're talking about the 2D worms. In which case, they're just that: 2D flat creatures. They don't even have a depth, let alone an inside.

That is not true. This is only the first or second time I have done that (out of the pictures I've posted). Nearly all my worms are different pictures, done from scratch*. They are just all the same style.


*Note: There are multiple copies of some of my pictures, but they usually occur in the same thread, and in these it should be obvious that each consecutive copy is just a (slightly) improved version of the last, not a separate picture using the same worm as the base.

See, now you've got a problem, because both of your last two pictures are near-identical in worm shape. Just to make sure even, I layered one on top of the other. You haven't been making them from scratch.

I just used a similar method.no, you didn't. you copied the shape of the worm directly and completely. there are no edits done. I've got them stacked one of top of the other in fireworks right now and your sgt fusion pic and the dragonball worm are both EXACTLY the same shape. there's not a single pixel difference. even if you had traced it (which would make your statement a lie even then) the pixels would be different. what you've done is an exact copy.

here. I'm uploading the two images. the dragonball is 50% transparent on aligned on top of the sgt fusion worm. note how you can't tell the difference.

I nominate Tal be infracted for not making any sense.

And for screwing up the Caps Lock in such a way that it made me cry.
I second the nomination, and I raise it to not only infracting tal, but also Plasma because... because he's plasma. :mad:

It's nice that people want to contribute to this thread and all, it really is. But this is not a thread to improve your art, get constructive crit. for it etc.

And knock it off people. Stop spamming up this thread.

If that wasn't done in paint, it'd have potencial. Try it with pencil, scan it, and try to do the lines on paint, if you want. Also, those hands... are odd.

Oh, the pupils on the left one are fantastic.

Nonono, I disagree. It has potential. Paint has nothing to do with it. Paint can be an awesome tool if you learn to master it. I used to hate it, honest I did, but then I started mucking about with it and found that certain techniques work really well (for example, the scribbly style I used in those drawings a page or so back).

Art is all about the look. If it looks crap, chances are it is. That's the bottom line really. Paint can look disgusting if you don't know what you're doing, but it's the same with drawing in Flash or Photoshop or some other third thing that's critically acclamied for its awesome - it's how you use the tool that matters.

What I meant is: If he uses paper and pencil, he'll get the hang of it easier. Then, go to paint. But if he still uses the spray for the smoke (heck, he uses two styles for 2 different smokes, now that I notice... and I like the left one.)... Well, it won't look as good if he doesn't do it perfectly. Also, the tiny details like the hands are easier to do in paper. With potenTial (I'm spanish, give me a break, it's "potencial" in my language :p) I meant easier to improve.

I didn't argue with the pupils, since I loved how they turned out, and it's practically impossible to get that same result without paint. That's why I said to stick if he wanted.

Hey Slick, that's amazing. And the whole 'pure fanart thread' is a good idea too :P I'll see what I can cook up.
Haven't played Worms in aaages tho.

Good luck with your fan art-ing endeavors!

I don't know what the heck that's supposed to be. Especially considering it's supposed to be something from the worms games.

Maybe a Alien from the film Alien, Alien vs Pred etc ?
... and yeah its not really related to worms in the way it should be...

Also, that's very nice. Looks a little odd without eyes, even if it is an AVP alien.

Yay, I have been remembered :P Jeepers, it's been almost 4 years or something.

Nice alien :P Didn't Team17 do an alien game as well though? If so, then technically it's fanart, even though it's for two games at once.

EDIT: Love the purple gradienty backdrop, as well. I was always one to underestimate the power of the backdrops :P

I wouldn't go that far; I tend to drift in and out like a warm fart.

I'm just too busy these days... I miss this place.
