"But why? Why would you choose to ride a spider of all things?" He smiled affectionately at her. "To tell you the truth my dear mama, when one is quite as wealthy as myself, the good society people do tend to be rather keen to make my acquaintance. Particularly young ladies who are, shall we say, looking to find romance. I find that having Reginald helps me to keep those who are less serious about getting to know me at bay. Why I thought you would approve of my little ruse to sort the chaff from the wheat." "But... But he's a monster." "Well mother I'm not totally barbaric, I've given him a top hat you know, so that people can see he is quite as much a gentleman as I. And his mustache is of an even higher caliber than my own!" I'm lucky to not be too scared of spiders, but I did freak myself out a little bit while drawing Reginald it should be said. Making him look spiffy helped a bit. I realise he managed to lose his monocle at some point but it's late and I'm tired, so I shall just say that he was very dapper for a spider. #drawtober #drawtober2017 #storytime #fantasyart #conceptart #personalart #hollyroseart #hollyroseartjourney #originalart #wip #halloween #sinister #flavourtext #creepy #draweveryday #halloween #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #fantasy #wip #daddylonglegs #day17 #horror #sketch #draweveryday #horrorart #whydididothattomyself #spider #arachnid #gentleman #victorian #digitalart
