Drassodes Scolopendra

About this artwork

Drassodes is my favourite genus of spider of which I based her off and scolopendra is the name of the species I created of which you see before you. Scolopendra means "to hang" hence the bodies she's hung up, partially inspired by my pet drassodes cupreus and by Shelob of whom is the spider from the lord of the rings, and then having the spiderlings was also inspired by my pet cupreus as she's laid 6 clutches of eggs but also a little bit from harry potter. Also Scolopendra is the name of my absolute favourite animal group; Giant centipedes.
