I was given permission to colour this remarkable drawing of Luci trapped and tickled by his Blue Lignum.
Lignums are a dangerous and ever hungry species of slime that live inside tree trunks and feed off the fluids of Man
They trap their prey within themselves and extract their nutrients through various methods unique to each type of Lignum
Luci is the one in control of the Lignum that live inside the forbidden forest. Without Luci, there would be no one to stop the Lignum from terrorizing the world. This little half-demon will often take strolls through the forest to check up on the Lignum.
During one of his strolls, Luci got careless and walked too closely to one of the tree trunks. Before he could react, a blue Lignum lunged at him and pulled his small body inside its own mass. This blue Lignum then proceeded to wrap and constrict itself around poor Luci's body until the little demon had no more room to move.
The Lignum then went on to tickle the feet of its helpless captive so Luci would begin producing the nutrients Lignums are looking for, like sweat and tears. Luci was powerless to stop this. Once the goo had encased his body, Luci was rendered incapable of the slightest movement or resistance.
With his toes pull back past their limit and his body uncomfortably packed away beneath layers and layers of Lignum, Luci's only method of protest was to cry and scream into his gag. Fortunately, Luci was given a distraction from the mind-numbing stillness of his body. The tireless brushes scrubbing away at the most sensitive parts of his feet provided an all-consuming sensation that drove Luci mad after only moments of experiencing it.
The best news that could come from this situation is that Luci won't have to endure this torture forever. Most Lignum let their victims go after a certain amount of time. After 2 full days of this non-stop tickling has gone by, Luci will be released from the Lignum so that he can go and replenish his fluids and be harvested again later.
