Artist's Note

crawling through the air

First of all: it's an experiment. And yes, it's weird. I don't like spiders myself, but somehow they also fascinate me.

Based on a shot I took in my garden, similar to this one: http://www.deviantart.com/view/1980074

Size is 1600x1200.

Objective comments and ratings are welcome =) Just in case you totally hate spiders - better don't rate ;)

I've said it before but I think you own this particular style.. Everything is just right.. it's clear/sharp and very smooth I cant think of anything other than maybe a plant in the background that would improve upon this masterpiece! Excellent job man.

Wow. This time you've infused you're work with a dark and foreboding style. Highly effective. Hehe, it looks quite real, actually.

awesome Hermik! I would put an out of focus picture in the background.
But I am of course not a digital master like some folks around here!!
Awesome!

have been a silent member watching art, must say this is some very original work, unlike the general "mass" of jarred array colors thrown together forming futuristic blobs of colors type of art im used to seeing. bravo.

Nice way to accentuate the space with the webbing and balance up the piece. you're cultivating your style impressively.

for this style, this is excellent :) the shadow makes this piece stand out imo... great job :)

For a close up on the beast more detail would seem appropiate to me, but it looks nice all the same.

wow max, thanks a lot! didn't expect a rating even near a 90! =) besides, I tried a backgound, it just didn't work out, the shadow was all I could do and what made me like it. An unfocused picture would be the natural thing you'd expect there, but i collides with the vector style. Thanks again for all the nice comments!

Nice, any chance we will see some of your famous color schemes for this baby? I've always been a fan of your work, using a wallpaper of yours right now in fact.

Excellent. Adding something as obviously wank as a plant in the background would only shag up a great wall. Simplicity is all.

This is a great wallpaper, I would change 2 things tho: 1) I think the vector style is cool but i wouldn't have used it with this image, it actually looks better as a thumbnail 2) Flip horizontally so the spider doesn't get in the way of the icons on the desktop. But either way this is better than anything I could do. Great job hermik
