Found this one and was shocked at first because they resembled a black widow a lot (with global shipping and flight, anything's possible these days). However, no bright red markings, and it's not that gleaming black.

After a short search, I think it's a coffee bean spider? Its not pitch black, but rather a very dark brown, the head and legs being a lighter brown. It had 'dimples' on its lower body which I tried to capture on camera, hope the pictures are sharp enough.

Do I release it in our tiny garden, or is it better to release them in a nearby wetland or forest? Plenty of places to choose from! Just want to do what's best for this little fella.

Commission for a recurring customer (thank you! ❤️), not for sale.

These were fun to do, as I'm very fond of the Pokémon franchise. The toughest was the Umbreon; working with foil is always tricky.

These were painted with Golden Fluid Acrylics and Sharpies in a total of four hours.

If you have any questions about the process, ask away! :)

I'm open for commissions. You can find my previous work and page here:

Two alters I did a while ago for a commission that I am still very proud of :)

The second image is my progress on Gollum. I still have to compile a progress pic for the Palpatine, sorry.

My favorite parts were the details on the Death Star and the nebula behind Palpatine, as well as getting the flesh tones and expression on Gollum right.

If you have questions, ask away!
