egypturnashI basically spent all day doing this.
Gravity Angel
The spiders fly through the empty spaces on their pretty inertialess drives.
Swooping and weaving and crashing for the fun of it, they weave a web of trails in the stars.
It works as B&W, too!
I should also note that I scanned the top of my computer to make sure this'd work without too much editing as a 15" Powerbook engraving or decal. Yes, there's a hidden layer with the Apple logo quickly traced off, so I can be sure there's room for it.

Date: 2006-12-30 04:47 am (UTC)I've never really gotten into Steranko much; the lined cloud is just me continuing to throw Op-esque stuff into my work. IIRC Steranko's most famous look came from, well, throwing some Op trickery into Marvel-type stuff...
If you really want to see some other-plane-ness, check out the second alternate version that's my current desktop. I think that's the version that needs to be printed out hugemungously.

(Tragically, she has little to do in the story besides shout a lot. Russell strikes again.)

Pretty Spider Lady
Date: 2006-12-30 04:29 pm (UTC)I did a little looking and you know, she's right.
Just a thought in case you decide to wander into that neck of the woods. Very nice indeed.

Date: 2007-01-09 11:33 pm (UTC)I've played Charlotte the Anthro Black Widow for years and years and years, even before I brought her to FurryMUCK -- and I always thought your art style would be the ideal way to depict her.
Last year, I got sucked into Second Life, and when I finally put a spider avatar together, it definitely had the cyborg thing going -- so I rewrote my backstory as someone who was redesigning her body for life in space.
And then, a week and a half ago, someone pointed this picture out to me on DA.
SQUEEEEEEEE! ::::D

Date: 2007-01-10 03:08 pm (UTC)There are so few people out there who really appreciate spiders. Most of the time when folks draw them they're nasty, cruel beasts. And the 'realism' desire of a lot of fannish artists tends to want to make them unapproachable. But people using them as inspiration for a post-human lifestyle? Such a wonderful excuse to keep them pretty!
Oh, and the screengrabs you posted of your cyberspider av make me go 'rowr', too...
