She uses her deadly weapons when she has you in her trance. She has a power over Black Widows spiders... I wouldn't mess with her if I were you ;) I made this in Photoshop 7 with a Wacom drawing tablet and finshed it on 05/23/05. I used Asvison as my photo model for this (with permission, of course). Here's the stock photo I used. I also used references to paint the spiders that I found on google.

Ew, eew, the spiders creep me out. They're really cool, but eeew... lol. I think the one on her chest really gives me the heebie jeebies. Cool stuff. Anyhow- she really looks very much like the photo so you did a good job using that. She's pretty, but not in an overly exotic sort of way. (Not a flawless pretty, I guess- which is a good thing). The tones you used for the background work well with her hair and skin tones. Nice job.

Eeeew..... lol.

This is a very well done piece, the skin is smooth, and the eyes show life. The only thing I'd say looks a bit off, are the lips. The seem a bit big, but that just might be my view on things. Keep up the good work.

She is gorgeous! She almost looks like Kate Winslet, in a gothic form! C'mon peoples, more comments! I love all of your art!

1 Ronda S. Murphy replies: "Wow, thank you so much!!"

if you're referring to the spider I don't agree. its damed ugly...

1 Ronda S. Murphy replies: "What's the point of this comment???"

The spider on her chest is missing a leg!!! LOL! not so funny for the spider do... who cares?!! I think the face is good, but I don't like the clothe or jowls, you didn't use the same amount of your skills on that as for the face... thats a little sad... but over all, very good!

1 Ronda S. Murphy replies: "LOL! Someone finally noticed and pointed out the missing spider leg! You deserve a virtual cookie. Thanks for the compliments and feedback! I don't really understand why you think I used less skill of the clothing and such though. Feel free to elaborate! I know those parts are less dressed up but I figured the simplicity worked best on those parts for this particular artwork. Anywho, thanks again."

Hi, me again! Thanks for the cookie! It taste good!

*eats on*

I meant that it looks fake... or something not finished, It’s like it’s glued on or something... it’s missing depth... English is not my first language so it’s hard for me to express myself better. Well it’s my opinion on the matter. But still the picture looks really great! You did a good job.

:-) Ronda S. Murphy replies: "It’s been like three years... but just wanted to say I appreciate your comments, so thanks!"

What they mean is the dress has no detailed bits , which is fine with me though , however the jewels have no shadow which looks odd. the spiders should also cast more of a shadow on her skin

:-) Ronda S. Murphy replies: "Much thanks for the advice 2"
