The little pig sat comfortably in his little armchair, smoking his little corncob pipe, and reading a lovely book on straw and hay. The wind blew and the thatch that made up the little pig's ceiling rustled quietly. A slight little draft blew here and there from the little gaps in the walls of the pig's home. At times, the thick bales of straw shivered and the pig would bundle up in his cozy armchair, safe from relentless windy days. As the little pig sat, the corner of his eye caug

To Feed an Army 1by ~squidink

Traditional Art / Drawings / Other

The first of two illustrations for the short story "To Feed an Army" by Mark Tullius, which will appear in the magazine Black Ink Horror . The story, especially the ending, gave me the creepy-crawlies. The horror may not be evident in this picture yet, but I'd keep an eye out for those ants(Eciton sp.) They sure can ruin a lovely picnic.

Many, many thanks to

Pen and ink.

I don't think his rifle will help him with ants!! Did you ever think what it might look like underground...if there was a huge glass layer so we could see ..there'd be trillions of ants..and lots of other creatures..earwigs, worms...hehehe!!
I love how you drew the ants!!!

Thank you very much!

I've always thought about what it would look like underground, and most of the time, I always think about burrowing owls and ground squirrels!

....I'm very "pacifist"... ...but your picture is very good!!

~squidink Sep 16, 2006

Thank you very much! You know, I was having second thoughts about this one because I had such a vivid image of what was going on in the story, so the drawing came out in a far more brutal way. I was also trying to go for a more darker and harsh style just to match the hostile environment the soldier is in. Plus, the story ends in a creepy and violent climax with a lot of ants.
