"...Is the doorway big enough for the spider to get out of?"

here are some arctic spiders for the Creature Menagerie project! inspired by the horrifying dead ice spider in c2e116 :)

#my post #my art #critical role fanart #critical role #cr #giant fuckoff spiders in aeor ruins my loves #cw spiders #spiders #i actually did way too much research into real spiders for this piece #i based them off of arctic wolf spiders #did you know wolf spiders are great parents :) #if you turn up the brightness you can see dozens of baby spiders on the big spider's back :) #i think the fact that tapetum lucidum happens in spiders too is so neat and i HAD to use that with some poor explorer's dancing lights #tldr i think this ruin is a humid climate #and in my thought process i decided that these spiders live in fuckoff magic land ruins and have big prey in the form of adventurers #and abominations of science #so they get REAL big #yes i read three scholarly papers about arctic spiders for this silly fictional spooky spider. what of it #also shout out to the youtube channel clint's reptiles #he has a video on wolf spiders and it was SO helpful and also very cool :) #and HUGE thanks to iz mwah
