Finally got around to making paper mache book art copies of The Madness of Light and The Corruption of Dark. It should be no surprise that they were both made into the form of a spider. Spiders are more complicated than a Clam or a Scorpion, so a wire ‘skeleton’ was used to create their structure before applying paper mache layers around it. I applied multiple rounds of layers onto it to build it up, air drying in between rounds....
My art from November 2022. All except one from book 11. Lot of variety here!

I wanted them to be posing so they could be ‘next’ to each other. The background didn’t have to be consistent, though. I wanted...
