Thanks! Rocking that someone noticed. I was getting really freaking sick of the vampy, over-sexed black-widow-centaur crap that hollywood always defaults to. I mean, I really liked the designs in Antz (and for that matter, Ant Bully-- even if that's a really stupid movie.) But salticidae are the cutest things on the PLANET, and if they were half-human crabs, I think they would look like....half-human crab centaurs. Knowing hollywood, half-human crab-centaurs with boobies (um, my roommate and I might have drawn some of those during the design phase.) BUT NO MORE.
There are still lots of happy lies in the anatomy-- for example, I am brazenly tromping all over nature, giving this little salticid super-combo palps/chelicera and extra joints in his feet....because that's how I swing. And his forarms are sort of modeled on a gorilla, at least in my head. The current battle are the eyes-- realistic human eyes look creepy; realistic spider eyes don't read well. The modeling fight continues. :\
Random comment : Just wanted to give you a heads up for a Bay Area event in January. Edwardian Ball tickets go on sale tomorrow I believe (http://www.edwardianball.com/index.html) and I thought you might be interested. I went last year with the VIP package and it was most awesome. I'm definitely going this year with VIP tickets (almost had a heart attack when I thought it was sold out. Turns out it's not online yet). I'm dragging Adam along to the dancing night (Saturday). If you just want to try it, I'd recommend Fri and/or Sat night. Sunday night was kinda' lame.
You mentioned December as the migration date- this takes place late January. Just thought you might want to know...
