Artist's Comments

First of several sketches I'm doing to try and get my head around the anatomy of a spider. Any critique would be welcome. I'm especially unsure about the rear legs and abdomen.

I said I'd put a preview image up so people wouldn't scare themselves, but I haven't submitted a deviation properly since all the changes dA made, so I don't know how. If anyone knows, please tell me ;_;

I'm also posting a version of this in my scraps next to an image of a person with some horses tha I found off google image search, just to give an idea of the sort of scale this spidey is going to be =3 [link]
That's the link

Over all I think you did a good job! though the rear dose look a tad off maybe it needs to be more rounded... Also is this a trancrula? Thats what it reminds me of o,o;

I did research the Tarantula quite a lot when working on these, but it's actually mostly based off the wolf spider. Tarantulas have all their eyes on the front of their prosoma (head thingy) and their legs and palps (arm thingies) are a lot thicker and furrier. They're also generally rounder.

Ah I see XD yet even the wolf spider still has some hair. Most of the larger spiders do.
