A week or so ago I posted some teaser photos of my spider and as the clues suggested it was going to be a steampunk skeleton spider.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

My original concept was to make a mechanical body with skeletal legs and head and as sometimes happens the concept wasn\u2019t working and it was time for plan B.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest problem I was having were the head and body proportions plus I really didn\u2019t care for the angle of the legs.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The deciding factor to change my direction was that the spider wasn\u2019t creepy.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The Davis Graveyard is sort of a spooky elegance and the steampunk spider was going in an opposite direction.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

So here\u2019s the new spider complete with a\u00a0 big bulbous body, a skull like head and eight large removable legs to accommodate shipping and storage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

There is still a fair amount of work to be done but I like the direction and think he now has a creep factor worthy of his destination.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope they like him.<\/span><\/p>\n
