Beast Wars BA - Full Color

"Blackarachnophobia"

Commission-in-progress for a friend and fellow member of the TFCC.

Beast Wars Blackarachnia is finished!

Her colors are based off the unreleased 'Halloween Horrorcon' variant; check it out here: [link]

The head is based off the original box art, however.

I'm very proud of her look. Back when I was first drawing her, I knew how I wanted some of the colors to look, and had a few things up my sleeve I wanted to try. I wanted to push texture with her. The biggest one was that I wanted to get certain parts to really look like a spider's 'skin'. I also wanted some truly organic looking 'claws', not the Tigger stripes we saw in the show or on the toys... I think I pulled both off.

I also have to say I'm really impressed with how she came out looking like she is wearing a latex bodice, but when you look closer you can see all the little dots that I painstakingly painted in :> Also, while there is a lot of black in this picture, her black is unique and stands out from the rest. I think she has to be my favorite thus far.

And I'm sorry for rambling. Hope you guys enjoy the pic. :>
