The Jorogumo is a mister from Japanese myth. its a huge monstrous spider which can take on the form of a seductive woman. The jorogumos would use this form to entice wandering men and devour them. I chose to make a half woman half spider as they had a really interesting look. in pop culture they're very seductive creatures with the top half of a woman and the lower half of a spider, but with most of my images of them i wanted them to be either suffering from the transformation or be perceived as monsters with no intention of sexualization or seductivness to them, (yes they are half naked but lets be honest they're monsters they aren't to bothered by clothes).The Jorogumo design has been used in various modern designs; the Racnoss from Dr Who, Cydaea, the Maiden of Lust from Diablo 3 and even Hellboy has fought one.
