Ending on a high note with the cutest little thing. She was fiddly, but not iguana-tier, so I want to make loads of them in lots of different colours now.
Greenbottle blue tarantula for Day 7 of ComplicatedKnots' 7 Days of Crochet!
Across the Spiderverse got me revamping my old spidersona! May change the design later, but here's what I have so far!
This is Stinger, and she was bitten by a radioactive tarantula, becoming... well... Stinger. Along with her usual spider powers, she gained the ability to grow and shoot stinging hairs from her skin like a tarantula. It may look fluffy, but that shit ain't soft! It's made her skin really prickly, so she wears fabric guards so she doesn't accidentally hurt people. She also gained a tiny secondary pair of eyes that hide underneath her bangs
I'd imagine her as a creepy trapper type hero instead of a beat-em-up type. She goes for web traps and stunning targets with her hair-quills. More quippy in her mind, tends to be unnerving and quiet on the outside. In the Spider Society, she likes stalking around and checking up on friends, letting them do most of the talking
idk if i can get a good pic (esp w this camera) but baby moved her molt
i tried 2 get it out the way 4 her cuz she made a little tunnel web that she spends most of her time in--esp post-molt--n she molted IN the lip of the tunnel, so i was like "shit, how is she gonna get out of there??
shes prolly not gonna wanna move 4 a while since she jus molted n shes prolly still rly tired, but when she DOES wanna move, hows she gonna get out?? esp now that shes fucken HUGE since this most recent molt"
turns out shes fully capable of moving it herself (i tried moving it myself but by the time i did she had sucked all the moisture out of it so it almost crumbled with the softest touch, even w plastic tweezers). there's still broken off pieces stuck to the silk of her web, but the rest of the intact body of the molt, at some point while i was asleep or something she hoisted it all the way up to the top of her tunnel and stuck it there.
at least she has a clear method of access both out of and into her tunnel!! lol
