Arachnophobia

Here you have a sketch I drew in a meeting a couple of weeks ago. A few days before said meeting, I had an idea for a comic book series that would be called Ruled by Spiders. As you can imagine, this would pretty much be Planet of the Apes with arachnids instead of monkeys. Doesn't it sound like fun?


The concept sketch you can see accompanying these lines depicts Fel and Shard, the two heroes in the story, hiding from their eight-legged overlords, and I think it turned out kind of cute. I drew it with a black pen without sketching it in pencil first. I could see the picture in my mind very clearly, and therefore I decided to skip the pencil stage and work in ink directly. The result, as all my pen sketches and meeting sketches tend to be, is a bit rough around the edges, but I think it's a fun picture, and I hope you like it!
