Female Cross Spider (Araneus diadematus) 🕸️

Mine and my friend Emma's spider OCs we've made! Finally collated them altogether lol (as always open for better quality)

Close ups, original drawings, and extra info for each under the cut

White-Weaver (xe/xem)! Xey are based on the St Andrews Cross spider and the White-Tailed spider (both from Australia) because I love them so much. St Andrews have two defence mechanisms - vibrating their webs so fast it scares off predators and launching themselves off their webs into the bush so their predators can't find them. White Tails aren't actually all that poisonous but they have a reputation (which hasn't been proved true) of their bites causing necrosis.

Chelicerae (he/they) I think is mostly based on the Queensland Whistling Tarantula just because they're big and I like them. Vibes are kinda like Hobbie but not exactly?

This is White-Weavers and Chelicerae's faces/an extra page of doodles i did (text in description)

Emma's OC Aracandy (she/her)! She's so cute and fun and I love her vibe. We've talked about how she would get along with Deadpool and 100% has hammer space like Spider-Ham

And lastly the twins! If it looks like they're from the same drawing that would be because they are. Emma and I collaborated ideas into a base I drew and then we both did our own colouring for them! Emma's is the toxic green one and mine is the blue and purple. We imagine them to be super chaotic. Like most other spiders hate them level of chaotic. They hear the bells want to run away just to escape the chaos. No one likes them but its fine cause they reveal in the chaos they cause (just like a real court jester!)

Anyway thats our OCs! Hope you like them!! <3
