Clever with great interest. Nice detail and technique. Great color harmony.
well designed and executed.
Good contest entry. I wish you the best of luck in the itsy bitsy teenie weenie contest. Maybe the spider should be wearing a yellow polka dot bikini LOL

Since I am terrified of spiders all I can say is that he is a pretty little thing. The fine detail that you have is really good. I am impressed by all the different mediums you were able to use. Good job. Susan

For not liking spiders you definitely did a great job with the artistry of one! The colors are beautiful and the detail fantastic. Love all those individual hairs.Looks like you even captured the stance of the spider. Very Nicely Done! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Helvi

I am not a spider fan at all, but you did do an excellent job with the details. Even though I am not a fan of the subject lol, I still like your color choices. Well done and incredible job. :)

You did a very good job on doing the spider. I could tell right away what kind it was and have seen it on TV doing it's mating dance. Very cool looking spiders. I like the pattern and the vibrant colors you used. Good job on the eyes and mouth with the back legs flipped up. Good luck on the contest.

This is a great entry for the contest. The spider is up close and full of color and detail. Love the background color and all of it's earthy tones. Nice detail in the spiders body and legs. Good luck in the contest.
