Been trying to figure out how to draw...  [SPOILERS after the break for Y.A. Dark Crystal novels] 

... spiderTavra. She’s so fucking cute in the books but when I’m reading, I don’t have to imagine detailed spider anatomy, so... translating that feeling into a visual design is hard. I think I’m going to try taking it in a more fantasy-creature less actual-spider direction. I dunno. Thoughts?

It cracks me up how, in spirit, she’s still the badass warrior of the group (sorry Naia), but as a spider she has to put up with being constantly abducted. God. Poor frustrated spider paladin.

I feel like this is the kind of joke she’d make once or twice, being The Funny One.
