Ice-spider progress

[ellenmillion]

I am pleased with most of it, but not happy with the inking on the gems - it's something I haven't tried before, and so far I'm not thrilled. I may experiment a little and do something different as I go further.

What you can't see at this size is that I've added 'AMWAY' down the side of the briefcase being carried by the figure on the right. I'm easily entertained. (It may or may not get inked that way...)

I see what you mean about the crystals. They look good, but not quite right, and I can't pin down *why*. The place where you have a faint dashed line, that's right, for an edge on the back of the crystal. But the shadows aren't. *thinkitythink* Ah! One thing is that inside a crystal, somewhere it will throw a really bright spot where you'd expect a shadow, because of how the light bounces in there. I'd have to take down one of my big Austrian window prisms to figure out more though.

Amway ... *snicker* ... love it.

But the crackling ice around the rim, and the silk bridge, and those two spiders -- very nice!

*Laughing* re Amway...

if you're feeling more modern, you'd change Amway to Quixtar. No, really. Actually, better not, Quixtar might get all uppity.

I'm rooting for the spiders, now.
