Just a sketch done several years ago, which I've found today and scanned it.
Before someone ask: the "species" tag is a reference to the stage "Villi People" from EWJ 2.

The first Earthworm Jim game felt like something from the animated MTV show, Liquid Television. The visual design and the background music felt dark and edgy in contrast to the more or less light-hearted cartoon double-takes inferred. The franchise could have been kept that way but unfortunately it leaned towards the more kid-friendly and nonsensical impression we'd see in the game sequel and the Kids WB cartoon. It could have been something as fucked up like "The Brother's Grunt".
Bottom line: E.J. is cool in the dark, as it was, as it should be.

Doug Tennepal is his name, he's also got a pretty big youtube channel and twitter following as you might imagine. The new game is called Bigfoot Bill I think. Also a comic too. Great picture by the way EP! Miss commissioning you and Jilo, hope to do so again soon when money is more available.
