Jumping spiders are my second favorite spider. I love the flourescent green markings that are supposed to look like big fangs. Most people don't look quite that close. What was your ref, was one sitting nearby?
Ah, I love jumping spiders! Me and my friend used to look for them then fight over who got to keep it.
You did anamazing job on this. All those little hairs...
These little guys are all over my house right now. And there always seems to be one that lives on the window sill and ceiling of my office. Just tell me they're not poisonous. Well done illustration, Dave. Those hairy little legs! What's that white area on the top of him? I keep getting the feeling he's about to jump. eeek!
eeeww, indeed. bleck. I don't know how you could have looked at a picture of a spider long enough to draw this. But, tis very well drawn. For a spider.
OH, I just wanted to do a spidersketch on thursday, and gave up when realized I don't know how spiders look like.
Here's a song for your awesomeness.. :D
The itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout.
down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.
So the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.. :D
that one looks so creepy!! a friend at work convinced me to hold his taranchulas, and I fell in love with em :/ so now it's going to be 2 rats, 5 snakes, 1 ferret and 1 taranchula...I should start my own zoo
I heard the know how to get out of their cages at night and lay eggs in people's ears.((heheheh lol) You have a lot of animals Joy! This guy is creepy looking but the live ones are very very tiny...not at all like a tarantula.
Tarantula's get out of their cages and lay eggs in your ears? ...so THAT'S why my ears always itched in the morning! XD
(Hahahaa, but seriously, even if they DID do that, my tarantula's too lazy to do anything like that. Plus also, it's dead)
WHY...do you do these? Wait......okay, had to get the shuddering outta my system. I hate, hate, hate spiders, 'specially furry looking ones...*shudders again*. (For some reason, those eyes really creep me out the most.) You did an awesome job on this though. :)
I used to be arachnaphobic, but I had to get over that because while hunting there's alllll kinds of spiders waiting in the woods, especially before daylight and after dark. I still don't like them much, but I can tolerate them. Actually this kind of spider... I call it the typical fuzzy black house spider with pretty green eyes. I think they are kinda cute. There was one in this room for about a week that walked across the ceiling every night and "hung out" by the light fixture above me. We got along pretty well until she decided to climb down the bed canopy sheers onto my pillow, and then I decided she wasn't cute and , well... there went the deadly boot. Spppplat. No more pet spider.
You really did a great job of capturing the creepy cuteness they have.
i do believe that pound for pound, and body to brain size, jumping spiders are the "smartest" creatures on the planet. i remember seeing it on the discovery, i have a photo of a green one i hope to do soon!

Poppa: tiny spiders scare me hehe the smaller they are, the scarier they are...big bugs i like, so this guy would probably make me faint!
I'd love to see a Black Widow, the hourglass insignia is beautiful, and the females are the ones who call the shots. xD
