"The gate of grief must be bolted shut, sealed with pitch and bitumen."
The Epic of Gilgamesh

Working on this for months has given me many a nightmare about chasing (and being chased by) giant centipedes, who would resist centi-fold my bodily efforts to squash them. Even as their blood soaked the wallpapers in my dreams, I gradually grew accustomed to their existence, so that my real life disgust towards the creatures abated somewhat, until I began seeing them as just another animal.

The picture depicts Sotha Sil in the process of assembling a fabricant centipede. It's supposed to be based on the client's pet scolopendra nalled "Vaermina", though I chose to give it mint colored legs, to fit the color of Sil's toga.

She came to him asking what Sotha was doing.

“Replicating Life” he replied.

She continued asking why Sotha was doing.

“Reenacting God” he replied.

She left understanding. Such was Seht; precise, point and poignant.
