Not to be confused with the paintings thread, here's a new fineliner piece.

CordycepsForHumans_S.jpg


Like I said in my paintings thread, I got really fascinated by watching the freaky mind-controlling fungi spores that attack certain insect colonies that grow out of proportion and become a thread to the environment. See the video here: Cordyceps: attack of the killer fungi - Planet Earth Attenborough BBC wildlife - YouTube

I think mankind fits in the same category, so I drew a similar fungus attacking humans.

I might do a series of 3-4 drawings of this concept. Among the ideas are a fat person struggling from bed to window, a football or soccer player climbing the goal, and another businessman hanging off a flagpost of a tall building. I make them climb high places because that's what the parasite spores make insects do with their mind control.
