Description
"Immobility" created in December, 2004.
* Created in POSER 4.03
* Rendered in Vue d'Esprit 4.22
* Postworked in PS.
* Vicky 2 with a texture by Morris.
* Face by me.
* Posable Black Widow spider (for POSER) by Brycetech. - (What a great looking critter!) ;-)
I got Brycetech's spider and then wondered what sort of creepy image I could quickly use it in that would show it off a bit. - "Immobility" is the result.
Was well received in the POSER newsgroup with those who hate spiders in real-life stating their horror. :-P
BTW, I hate spiders too!- Sometimes its gives me the creeps using this figure. :-)

Fantastic! I can't believe there are no other posts for this. You captured a horrific moment there and the way you lit it, combined with the words explaining the fears...brilliant.
Thanks Calseeor. :-) I was trying to figure out which would be the most vulnerable and frightening points on a body that somebody would hate to gave a spider crawl over or into. Since any x-rated ones are out of the question that leaves only a couple of choices. I chose the mouth but the eye would also be a good one, although if the spider was small enough maybe it could crawl up your nose or ear. :-P The text in the pic was subdued a lot to make the image be the thing that you see most of all, and just when you're wondering what the image is about then you do some reading.... :-) Yes, spiders crawling over us when we're asleep is enough to give most people the jitters but if you're awake and can't do anything about them...
This is a great image, and a great idea. Afraid I'll be weirded out when I go to bed for a few nights. One thing: the inside of the mouth looks to me like it has a light inside of it. It should go into darkness instead of having an ambiantly lit tongue and teeth... is this an artifact of the model, an intended effect, or what?
The light (and colour) inside the mouth was initally just a fortuitous accident of the ambient lighting I used in Vue d'Esprit. -- The entire scene was covered in a solid dome to exclude the 'sunlight' so then I could play around with spotlights etc., but the particular atmosphere I used was still deeply blue hued and so it made the figure that colour but because of a bit of fill-in light from a spotlight of mine I ended up with a little original colour inside the mouth which made the tounge much more visible, and in my humble opinion more visually 'vulnerable'. ;-) --- As a test I've just done here at home a quick dark PS scribble over the image and made the mouth more 'correctly' lit but now it seems to miss that little beat of vulnerability. -- Anyway, I hate spiders,...had to thwack a big cream coloured one on the wall next to me whilst I was in the middle of having my shower the other night....(shudder)...
