Description
This will be my 11th piece for Bluewater Comics and will appear as a pin-up in an upcoming issue of Vincent Price Presents.I was given free reign with this piece, so I decided to make another ghastly female antagonist, following my completion of the Zombie Queen for Jaded Publishing:
brentjs.deviantart.com/art/Zom…
I based this creation, the Spider Queen, on the Greek mythological character of Arachné, who was such a fine weaver that she bragged she was better than Minerva, the goddess of wisdom and war. Of course, bragging about being greater than a goddess at anything will only get you into trouble. For her offense, Arachné was turned into a half-spider, half-woman demon. The color scheme is also based on the myth as Arachné was known to spin wool of Tyrian (or royal) purple.
I hope you dig it!
EDIT 4/21/15: Increased the contrast of the foreground figure, added shaped blur effect and soft glow; increased the contrast of Spider Queen and added soft orange glow to leg and clavicle; deepened shadow beneath Spider Queen's body and added soft orange glow to select skulls.

No, Spider Queen hatched from an egg in my own brain. If she resembles a known anime character, that's purely coincidental. Perhaps my anime-style rendering is what makes you think of anime? Anyway, thanks for commenting!

Arigato! Thank you! I was worried it was too dark for print, but it ended up looking the same!

I know, right! I was reading about Arachne, the tragic Greek half-spider, half-woman and I thought...ew, there's nothing nice about that. Thanks for checking it out!
