This account is also for general spider-, skull-, or cacti-based art. Also unicorns. Also for jokes that only I find funny. Anyway, go Arachnicorn. #spiderart#spiders#unicorn#unicornart

A cartoon-style emblem of a unicorn/spider hybrid who is carrying dozens of baby unicorn/spider hybrids (...flings?) on their back/opisthosoma. They are surrounded by a border made of golden unicorn horns, flowers, purple spiders with flower crowns, and the text "If unicorns were wolf spiders".

I think anything--and I actually mean anything--that a person makes can't help but be a reflection of who they are at that moment. But they are almost never direct reflections.. And they are never not reflections. Somewhere in between.

Spider & Skull ampersand logo, the title "With You".
One-panel comic. Spider and Skull are resting on a hill side-by-side surrounded by cacti and flowers. The night sky is full of pale shining stars and colorful nebulae.

Text in the sky says, "The world is sad and scary. At least I get to see its beauty with you."
Handwritten version of the caption in the post.

Drawing is a strong word. Practice is good.

A black and white drawing. In the middle of the page it says "Star-bellied orb weaver (acanthapeira stellata)". There is a large spider web in the corner, and two large spiders, one from the front, and one dorsal view, both star-bellied orb weavers 

In the upper left corner are three facts:
-will pretend to be dead if threatened
-live in sunny areas (so I've never seen one)
-spiky abdomen

There are little cartoon stars with split tips (to give them 8 legs) and 4 eyes, plus a little cartoon spider on its back appear8ng dead  then with two of its eyes open, checking if the threat has gone away.

Also an "instar" is the name for the developmental stage of arachnids between moults. The best jokes are ones you have to painstakingly explain. [2/2] #webcomics#webcomicseries#spider#skull#spiderart#skullart#cartoons#comicstrip#sailormoon

Yellow translucent spider paw held up again shining pink/purple background with the text "Mars Instar Power Make-Up!"
Yellow translucent Spider with translucent blue ribbons draped around them against a shining pink/purple background.
Translucent white Spider in final transformation pose against a shining pink spider web, they are wearing a short blue sailor skirt, gloves on all eight feet, and have large blue anime eyes.
Black background with cream line art. Skull is cringing, looking tired and disgusted. Spider is in a web spun in their eye and their old exoskeleton is dangling of their foot.

Skull: Are you done mounting yet??
Spider: SHUT UP I'm having fun!

Spider is an Aries and and their blood type is AB. Nothing like taking your nice simple little line art comic and making it three-quarters complicated full-colour (complicated full-colour for you, anyway). [1/2]

S&S comic 006 - "Spider Moon"

Frame 1 - Yellow translucent spider paw held up again shining pink/purple background with the text "Mars Instar Power Make-Up!"

Frame 2 - Yellow translucent Spider with translucent blue ribbons draped around them against a shining pink/purple background.

Frame 3 - translucent white Spider in final transformation pose against a shining pink spider web, they are wearing a short blue sailor skirt, gloves on all eight feet, and have large blue anime eyes.

Frame 4 - black background with cream line art. Skull is cringing, looking tired and disgusted. Spider is in a web spun in their eye and their old exoskeleton is dangling of their foot.

Handwritten post with the same text as the post. There is a line art skull at the bottom with the caption"I just desperately wanted to draw so,thing simple again"

Maybe poor Skull's going to be screaming in terror over the desert for a long time. Once they land and Skull's had a couple of tequilas, do you think they'll be upset that Spider's been able to do this the whole time? [3/fin]

I'm not committing myself to an update schedule because I don't feel the need to stress myself but this is the first week in many I could think of a quasi reasonable way to fit this in my schedule, so maybe I'll manage to build up a buffer like before. Or not. [2/x]

Panel #3: Spider and Skull are floating high above the desert on a parachute made of Spider's silk, Skull screaming uncontrollably.

Skull: AUUUGGHH!!!!!!!!!!
My cramped old lady handwriting in cream ink on a black paper texture with pseudo-Art Nouveauish flourishes that are pretty wonky-looking because my notebook app doesn't let me do under-drawing. I also don't know if under-drawing is a term. By the way I'm antibiotics. Anyway, it's the same as the captions in the thread, just in old-fashioned handwriting.

They're back, sorta! The last several months have been hard for many obvious and less obvious reasons. There are other ongoing projects I've pushed to the forefront out of necessity. But the lack of making things has been making me sad(der) and I had been enjoying this silly comic. [1/x]

Spider & Skull #5: My Turn

3 panels, cream ink on black background.

Panel #1: Skull is hopping through the desert toward the viewer, Spider is curled up in their eye socket.

Spider: Maybe we're both in the afterlife.
Skull: Super, my cosmic punishment is ferrying your ass around for eternity.

Panel #2: close-up of Skull with a quizzical expression, Spider is producing a silver thread.

Spider: Oh, I'm sorry. I should take my turn.
Skull: How would you ev--

Panel #3: Spider and Skull are floating high above the desert on a parachute made of Spider's silk, Skull screaming uncontrollably.

Skull: AUUUGGHH!!!!!!!!!!
