Added 2023-08-19 08:17:31 +0000 UTCThe giant spider from The Lord of the Rings! Commissioned by ItsATrap101
--------------------------------
“Shelob may be a slimey giant spider in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Shadow of War game interprets her as an Arachne shapeshifter. She still loves trapping the unfortunate traveler in her cobwebs, deep within the caves near Cirith Ungol. That’s always been her idea of fun. Looks like she has new prey now... Except, this fresh blood is different. He is a Knight who falls madly in love to her human form, so much so that he ignores all signs of danger— what, being trapped alone in a maze with a flesh-eating monster and all. She toys unrequited with him long enough until he declares his love. Triumphant that she has beaten this most valiant of warriors in every way possible, Shelob has no more need to remain her lovely self for tonight. Time to have her way with ‘em.”

2023-08-21 21:43:24 +0000 UTCWell... Taking a giant, scary spider and turning it into a beautiful, seductive lady sure is one way to help me get over my arachnophobia 😹 (Not going to lie, the little spider on her thigh creeps me out 😅) But that aside, I really like the scene and atmosphere that you've set up here, with all of the webs hanging and dangling around the background. I also like the gradient in the blue tones, with that bright light in the top left that also shines on Shelob herself, then the blue growing darker on the opposite side. Shelob's pose is just terrific, she looks so incredibly alluring. I really like the way she leans her head back as she looks at us, arms raised as she arches her back, pushing out her breasts and creating a lovely curving motion to her body. I also really like how her thighs are closed together, rounding out her hips and giving her that sensual, hourglass figure. Funnily enough, the giant, creepy spider-legs actually help make her look even more sensual in the NSFW version, as they wrap over her body and caress her skin. Her clothes are very nice too and do a great job of accentuating and teasing her body. I like how her right breast partially slips out from underneath the bra on one side, with that lighter skin tone standing out against the black material. Likewise, the zig-zagging black strips across her mid-section, as well as the sash falling between her thighs all look wonderfully sensual here too. The rendering on those spider legs looks great, very full of texture and little details. The NSFW version looks absolutely stunning, the lighting, pose and textures all make this one of the most beautiful figures that you've painted 🥰🥰🥰 The way that warm light bathes her body from one side is just amazing and works so well with the darker tones to give definition and volume to her. I absolutely adore her midsection with the mix of smooth blending between light and dark, as well as that firm, hard-edged line that runs down the centre of her stomach. The smooth blending of light and dark beneath the belly-button, moving towards the pelvis looks so sensual and gorgeous too. The overall contrast between light and dark across her body is so striking and it does a really beautiful job on her breasts too. I especially like the divide between light and dark that runs down her left breast, wrapping over it and accentuating it's shape. I'm failing miserably to express just how wonderfully and beautifully the work you've done is in painting Shelob's body here, seriously, you've blown me away! 😻😻😻😻😻 And I do love raised-arm poses like this, seeing all of those little muscle interactions and overlaps between the shoulders, arms and chest and they look great here too. Her neck looks wonderful too, with the warm light and dark shadows weaving together. Shelob's hair is looking really nice too. I'm always impressed by well-painted black hair which I know is difficult to do. The way the hair falls looks great too, framing her face and then trailing over her breasts. The only critique I'd add is that I feel like there should be a shadow under the hair, where it overlaps/touches her chest and breasts. I really like her face too, mostly in shadow but with this sharp, contrasting light that shines on her cheek/jaw, further defining the plane-change there. The expression and eye-contact both look so alluring, particularly with how she leans her head back and I do like those little shine spots on her eyes and nose, making them pop against the shadows across her face. Seriously terrific work with this one! It's tricky to blend beauty and creepiness like this but I think you've done a marvellous job. The NSFW version in particular is truly astounding, the lighting, blending, textures, definition, all of it comes together to create such an amazing sight! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
