So yesterday I made this ADORABLE little guy.
He is a Drider.
Now Squiggles the Mindflayer has a friend to play with!
I didn't put an eye pin in him because I'm going to create themed sets, and he's the start of this one.
Also I made a Cthulhu dude for that themed set.
I gave him kitty ears. Because I can.
There's gonna be a lot of stuff in this set. I can't wait.
I think the most challenging thing about making the Drider was getting his actual skin color right.
Driders are half Drow/Spider, and Drow skin is described as black. BUT, in illustrations, their skin isn't like... zero color whatsoever black. It's super dark, grey with slight brown and purple undertone, almost black- black. So that was a fun trial and error thing. I think I got it and am confident that I can replicate it.
It makes me think about Drow cosplayers.
They'll buy straight up BLACK body paint and use that- it never looks right.
I wonder if my gloopey stuff arrived in the mail yet.
