I know the Spider Queen as a concept has been rendered many times by many artists, but here's my take on it. I've always met spiders with both fear and fascination, and I have a thing for powerful, confident women.

Pencil drawing, then painted in Photoshop CS4. The toughest part was resolving the silk wrappings around the body. I also readjusted the arm and facial proportions several times. I painted the figure nude and did the clothing on a separate layer. Maybe I'll also upload the nude version for all you deviants ;-)

I plan on submitting this to Heavy Metal for a possible cover. You never know.

This is amazing! Spiders don't scare me, but I don't love them either. This makes spiders look very interesting. :)
And the Queen herself. Her expression is very... Arrogant? I am not sure if that is the right word, but it shows she is a strong powerful lady :)
And I think her outfit was a wonderful idea :D

Tres cool!

I actually think the background is the best =D

A dark, ghoulish backdrop to such an alluring figure.

Ohhh, I love spiders! My red-rumped tarantula, Fluffy, died recently, so I can take that medium sized jumper at her right off your hands? I actually love the web outfit, I think it is a nice touch and really cements her into her role, nude that would not be as apparent. It would be more like, ‘Oh, a naked chick with spiders,’ than SPIDER QUEEN. But maybe that is just me..

Also, I want to be a sexy spider queen one day..!

Thanks! I think all you need is some silk wrappings and you'd make a lovely spider queen.

At first I didn't see the huge spider on the right, but when I did it creeped me out DD:

Startling a shriek out of me deserves a fav.
