Sorry for the inactivity! I feel like that's my catchphrase at this point. I'm gonna start uploading some old art. This one's from 2019, it's Wormwood from Don't Starve!

have you ever considered doing anything with wormwood's living log emote? im just curious cause no one ever seems to acknowledge it and its interesting.
Oh I've always had those in mind, just never really posted any drawings of this aspect of him, I guess. But I think the fact that he can transform his limbs is very fascinating and can easily be interpreted as a cool power of sorts.
Here's a few headcanons I've had since 2021 and others I got inspired from, but never shared.
Wormwood can transform all of his body into living logs or any other plant, not only just his arms.
When he's angered or threatened his hands sometimes transform into claws. These TNW (Totally-Normal-Wood) claws are stronger than most of constant materials (aside of course gems and the rare stuff)
He could easily shatter a rock if he used his claws more often. Or take down any somewhat stronger mob with little effort.
Regardless of that, he chooses not to use these powers to his advantage and prefers being himself than possibly seen as some scary monster. (He has a bad experience with that in the past when he tried to save a creature, but it got scared of him and his sharper appearance due to TNW.)
However, he can use his shape-shifting ability for good or to entertain people instead. For example, since he can turn into every sort of plant or turn his arms into any shape, he's usually seen entertaining the child survivors. Aka, he's put on babysitting duty.
His limbs can split into countless vines, for example when he needs a stronger grip on something and his leafy hands feel too weak and clumsy. Or when he holds someone else's hand, he sometimes loosens his vines. Hence why most people usually don't hold his hand. 🕯️
He can communicate with his plant friends via a root system, this is usually done through his feet, but when he wants to hear them better or communicate with more plants within a greater range, he usually kneels down and splits his limbs (Based on @mango-mush 's ideas) And I think that is a great concept.
That is it for know, when I think of something new I'll let you know. Also I kinda wanna color some of these sketches.
