Narcanna feels welcomed
The title is pretty self explanatory but still I wanna say thanks to everyone. Especially how I was feeling after this situation http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16532802/ again that was not at all how I wanted to reveal this character but at the time I really wanted to get it off my chest. It stopped me from drawing for a while but with all the kind words everyone said to me it made me feel a whole lot better and got me back in the groove again. So again thank you everyone, I genuinely feel loved and I owe so much to you all.
Now this picture in particular Ive been showing on skype for the last week or two and seems most people dig her design, the one thing I kept hearing from people is that this was going to be another "coffeecup" picture like I did with mitzy twice where I bring up crap people on the internet do XD. Nah This started off as a night club picture, more like "hey would YOU date this girl if she was there" but I scrapped the idea and I really didn't want to make another negative picture so I thought id make it positive for a change. Let her be herself for a change.
Now you maybe asking, sheesh why is this character such a big deal, shes a spider thats nothing new...
Well that is the point, she IS a spider or at least spider like but ever notice a trend with spiders and spider characters? At least from what ive seen people tend to be deathly afraid of them (hell I lost a "friend" over it but I digress) or when people make characters out of them....they.... kinda don't leave much to the imagination and they make them a little... too realistic and then they just come off as genuinely disgusting. So I wanted to throw my hat into the ring and try my hand doing the challenge of making a somewhat likeable arachnid. many of you would say I already did that with mitzy, weather thats true or not I still don't feel I quite pulled it off. Sure shes approachable i'd say but maybe she was played a bit safe, I still love her though, and lets not forget she was designed back in my *shudders* sonic fan character days. ......we don't speak of "those" days anymore.... >.>
i still get the nightmares....some nights I wake up screaming in a pool of sweat.... uh
anyway If I wanted to make Narcanna I needed to take as few shortcuts as possible. Oh sure I "could" have made her looks super kawaii and cute but... wheres the fun in that... I don't wanna baby you people. I wanna tackle arachnophobia head on and to invoke it she would still need to look somewhat intimidating but not too much. Im trying not to scare off all my viewers here.
So what did I do? Ok for starters Shes a spider, or well spider like. The reason I keep bringing up "spider like" is because I know people out there will complain about the limb count. She only has 4 arms and 2 legs. So thats 6 limbs total and I'm just waiting to hear someone be like "well...spiders have 8 legs duuuurrr she can't be a spider" So just bare with me on the fact shes an spider inspired 23 year old alien Tarantulisk (yes a play on the word tarantula). So anyway I felt 4 arms was more than enough to basically get the point across because after all the spiders legs are one of the key things you identify a spider for. That reminds me shes the first character I've made with extra limbs so that was a challenge in itself for me.
And second, her head. It was a little tricky to come up with a head that would still look good yet not be totally unbelievable but I think im please with what I came up with. Again what is another thing spiders are known for? their eyes, more specifically how many eyes there are. Now here I did play it a little safer, I think real spiders have like 6-8 eyes? Eh i think again 4 is the sweet spot, and thats not just to try not to scare people away but its to simplify the design too. I cant imagine always having to draw 8 eyes on a character every damn time. Ok and her teeth. Spiders bite, not sting. They have these large hooklike fangs that dig into skin and surrounding them these large bulging sacks containing venom. They look creepy as fuck but they serve their purpose but here I decided to put them on the sides of her face like horns. Actually her venom comes from those pockets and comes out little slots in her sharp teeth, the horns serve no purpose and are purely visual.
And last but not least she does shoot webs. She has a bug abdomen like Vektra does and like her reproductive organs where a human would. I won't go into specifics more detailed than that haha.
Welp thats all for now im working on her bio and such her ref sheet is like 90% done and I have a few other pictures and stuff in the works. Yet again I wanna say I love you guys and thanks for supporting me and encouraging me to keep going i wanna make bigger and better characters for all of you to enjoy.
*btw this is the Last and final female character I'm making for team razor from now on any new teammates will be buff dude bro dudes o3o*
Feel free to critique if you want. I love hearing thoughts.

Yeah, they've done tests on various animals to determine how they react to certain psychoactive drugs.
At small doses of caffeine (10 µg/spider), the webs were smaller; the radii were uneven, but the regularity of the circles was unaffected. At higher doses (100 µg/spider), the shape changed more, and the web design became irregular.
