This is my take on Wormwood from the end of days. Now in the books I have they say it's an evil angel or demon "A power of air" denoting satan, in other sources it says it's a force of God, like a weapon or a comet. It will burn and scorch the earth and poison the waters and the dead will come back to life are all associated myths with Wormwood (aside from the fact that it is just a bushy plant, Google image it). So I trid to incorporate all these. Here we see a demonic comet or orb in the sky on fire and comprised of hellish souls. We see it scorching the earth and spewing necrotic poison corrupting the land and water and animating the dead (not shown). With some of these creatures it's rather difficult to pin down a consistent description. Mixing them all if you can sometimes doesn't turn out so bad.

I'm glad you did this, it reminded me of that verse. I reaad the version where it's a comet that spreads out and overruns the world.

But now, with this and some further imagination, I have the image of a demonic creature like Yevo from Futurama: Beast with a Million Backs.

A creature that spreads its tendrils out from a central point and absorbs or infects the people and animals it encounters. Also similar to the monster from Slither.

A very disturbing image, indeed. It reminds me of something that visits me frequently in my nightmares. Good work! :thumbsup:

That is very interesting. It hadn't occured to me to picture Wormwood as an actual being.

I got some inspiration from "Granfaloon" from castlevania: symphony of the night and "Legion" from curse of darkness (almost the same creature). Wormwood reminds me of those bosses.

Very Lovecraftian, those.

It's the most monsterous beast in the bible in my opinion.
