Earthworm Jim drawn for the Game-Art-HQ Video Game Character Database

Earthworm Jim did not get a new video game since years now but he is still popular among many of us gamers that experienced his debut on the Super Nintendo or the first Playstation.

When we wrote about the idea of having dedicated illustrations of game characters in our DB, Earthworm Jim was actually one of the first picked characters. Cortoony joined our community in 2017 and does not only draw but also creates 3D models. Have a look at his gallery here!
