My first iteration of a sculpted spider, a mixture of various kinds of arachnids.
Here's the thing about this piece: I can't stand spiders. When I see one, I don't bother with search&rescue missions via dustpan or glass. I just plain kill them because they are sneakily invading my territory.
While sculpting this thing, starting from a pudgy blob to this nasty crawler, I felt a growing uneasyness, especially while working on it's face...head...meh. I believe it might be because as humans, we are trained to recognize other humans in all kinds of circumstances. A face in the clouds, Jesus in a burnt toast, Elvis in a sweaty stain on your bowling-shirt.
In this case, I stared at a face with eight unfriendly looking eyes and a mouth with a set of sharp mandibles and my brain kept comparing it to a human head...
...I will continue this piece.
In daylight.
