Tea Set Monster Spiders Fantasy - digital illustration

Tea set spider monster fantasy art

Depicted in this digital illustration are the unusual subjects of two creepy and monstrous spiders which happen to also look like a tea set. One is a tea pot like creature with green goo emerging from the spout and the other is a cup and saucer combination. Both are sitting on a web which includes some cocooned tea spoons, awaiting their fate in this nightmare web scenario.

The digital illustration was painted in 'auto sketchbook pro' during July 2018, initially on a android tablet and the later exported, enlarged and refined on a W10 computer.

The spidery illustration can be seen in greater detail here.

This is one of my more unusual pieces of artwork as it was created in illustrator, a vector based drawing programe. It is also quite old and dates from june 2005. It has a bit of a retro feel to it but producing work in illustrator, or the similar vector 'flash' programe, can dictate the style you work in.

from website...
This is one of the very few vector based illustrations I have done. Using a vector based drawing program does impose a certain style on the look of the artwork. The idea of a happily married pair of astronauts, enjoying a cup of tea in space seemed a nice, quirky idea to portray, and the vector based program gives it a flat, neat style. But using a pixel based drawing program like photoshop may have produced a richer image.....or perhaps not.
