Steampunk Tarantula

in #art • 7 years ago

Here is a tarantula I just finished. It is about as big as a dinner plate, and made of various auto and farm equipment parts. I took some inspiration from jumping spiders with the eyes, as I thought a tarantula's eyes done to scale would be way to small to even notice, and I think these came out pretty good.

    You picked the perfect parts for this. How much do you sell something like this for?

    Thank you! I would make another one of these for $250. I only have parts to make one more like this one.

      Found this through Muxxybot. I've always had a thing for spiders. Awesome work!

      Thanks! I started as a professional artist in 2010, but I have been making crazy things since I was a little kid.
