Artist's Comments

When most people had heard that there was a sequel coming, they groaned. The last movie had been a box-office bomb... but then rumor began circulating that Roxy was going to star. Roxy, so-famous-she-only-needed-one-name Roxy. She was the best actress of her generation, a genius whose brilliance hadn't been matched in years, and beautiful to boot, and if anybody could pull the franchise out of the trash, she was the one.

But then she began making odd demands, changes in the story, and she hired a bunch of weird occult people on the studio's dime, and there were strange lights coming from her hillside mansion every night. When she finally walked onto the set that fateful day, the director swallowed hard as one of the producers passed out: Maybe asking Roxy to play Spider-Girl wasn't such a good idea after all.

Well, after nearly a year, this is finally done, and it turned out pretty darn well, even without a complex background. Roxy came out lookin' pretty hot, I think, and her pose speaks for itself.

I have no idea really how many hours went into this. I worked on it an hour here and an hour there, and it's probably in the 50-ish or 60-ish range at least.

This is dedicated to my friend Anne, who loved the early rough versions of this. Anne recently dislocated her elbow (I didn't even know that was possible!) and has had weeks of physical therapy to recover from it. Here's hoping you feel better, Anne!

I get the song "Roxy Hart" stuck in my head every single time I see this picture >.>

This is available as a print, and to show some of the detail in the print, here's a closeup of Roxy's face.

:lol: Funny piece, and great work

Finally done, huh? Turned out really nice. And it'll really help me out when I'm getting used to drawing a drider every now and then. Legs are tricky beasts (geez that sounded a lot less inappropriate in my head), and yet they're really dang fluid here, for lack a better word.

I remember back in the day in 'Nam, when me and the other fellers used to eat pataters every meal o' the day. Sometimes they was mashed. Others was fried. But one thing always remained:

They was pataters.

It just takes practice.

Remember when you're looking at them, though, that she's wearing a costume, and although it's very form-fitting, it still glosses over some of her body's creases and wrinkles: You're not seeing the full shape of her legs because they're covered up.

Do you suppose if I were to put a signature here, anyone would bother to read it? No? I didn't think so either.

Ultra sweetness! I'm faving this one (something I don't do lightly)

Give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage the change the things I can't accept and the wisdom to...remember what I'm supposed to have the wisdom to do...

Wow, you really don't +fav much --- so thanks for the big stamp of approval!

I probably should do it more often. I just tend to leave comments and figure that's good enough.

I really like this idea, one of your best yet! But what I would really like to see is spiderwoman(the red one) do up like this one.
Thanks

This is seriously awesome. =D Also, I really love how you have a mini-story to go with each picture. I love reading them! ^^

The red one? I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I understand that much; with what I was talking about, it's a question of "how do I make them look like actual spider legs and not a giant external ribcage", if you know what I mean.
