hmm well how is this for a contest idea?

I really thought the last contest would have had more subscribers but if they don't want to participate in zombie lore. How do you think they will feel about Spiders.

There is a certain amount of disdain that is placed upon the spider. In a lot of Folk Lore and enchanted stories the spider is considered useless, evil, poisonous, predatorial, selfish. It has been depicted as the Queen of the Underworld in many video games. She is often the first battle boss of RPG games and keeps her children in horrible looking egg sacks that if you burst them, explode into hundreds of babies looking to feed and live.
The spider is seen as a lone, rouge, entity that can not be controlled by kings or queens whims, yet full of a wisdom that produces a tapestry as fine as silk. The spider is often depicted carrying the moon between her legs and entrapping all those that come near. The spider, the spider. Even Indiana Jones feared the spider.
What is wrong with a spider? They are the craftiest of creatures you know. They only known to enter a Kings home and receive a welcome for their talents. There are a lot of interesting ideas that have surfaced about the spider: www.beliefnet.com/love-family/…
The spider might be small, but by taking hold of the work that was nearest, it found its self in "kings palaces". If we take up and accomplish the work that is nearest to us; if we are faithful to do the little and humblest tasks; it is then that we can trust ourselves with greater responsibilities, and greater tasks.
Of Course those ideas have been made in search of finding the good in what is perceived evil. Some of those ideas are rather flat, and fine for children.
I being the Dream Weaver and a weaver of tales find the idea of the Anansi to be more accurate than seeking for justification for the spiders finer points.

I speak kindly of the spider because I understand the idea of misconception which breeds mistrust and misplaced accusation before justification can be weaved, displayed, and presented in the finest of arrays. I have listened to many claim how I think too much of myself. Much as the spider is considered small and should remain humble, lest it is squished under the heel of those above it. The spider my friend is such a wonderful creature that as it weaves becomes Lord of the Flies, feasting to it's heart content, living by the laws beyond nature, which imply that only the strong survive. There is a wisdom to be treasured of the spider who's laws are set much higher than it's station.
Imagine that a new palace has just been built. As of yet, no spider has taken her abode in those lofty courts. Now outside, on ground level, a spider down stands surveying the high towering walls above, and considers the wonderful living quarters that must surely exist over those turrets. If you were to scale yourself down the size of the spider, looking up at the towering walls, how hopeful would you be of getting inside the palace?
It seems like an almost impossible feat! However does the spider despair? Does it stop to try and work out some complex difficult method of catapulting itself over the walls and shortly landing right in the kinds palace? No, without taking shortcuts, the spider simply takes hold with her hands and does the work that lies nearest. Day by day she patiently toils spinning her web and inch by inch the goal comes closer.
Eventually after much toil she reaches the top of the wall and drops over into the courts below. A great task accomplished that previously, could almost have been seen as impossible!
Such can be achieved by all whom show the same courage of the spider. A master Dream Weaver.

I suppose I was impetuous. I am working on sketches now so I can give you all that read or watch my material a visual of what I am talking about. I was thinking about this very issue while I was caring for my goats,

"how better to describe the contest proposal."

In short I was just thinking from the brief introduction I gave, whomever is interested in Fantasy, Concept, Digital, or Traditional Art, will have room to devise such a woman whom has keys to the halls of kings whether they appreciate it or not.
The last contest did not meet to the sponsor's liking in regards to participation and they wanted more ideas. So I felt since there are so many artists out there that, are dabbling in those fields, might want to try there hand at something simple and not as complex or depressing as dystopic discussions such as Zombies and Women that must face them alone. (Honestly since they came out with the remake of Resident Evil 2, I expected more Fan Art of the video game variety, or at least attempts at the Walking Dead. No such blessing.)
I only know of a few people that can really turn that field of art into something special and they tend to not call themselves "Adult-Artists."

I don't understand the apprehension towards this medium of Art considering we are all surrounded by the beauties and temptations of the human body everyday. Every time we turn on the television there is a discussion upon such mature levels.
There are mounds of concepts running in my head of how to create the perfect enchantress, or prophetess, or lead female role and place her on paper in such a way that is appealing to everyone, even the worse skeptic of the strength of women and their prowess. The "spider," idea is very old mind you, there have been many attempts at her, "Black Widow," "Spider Girl," of Marvel, "Salt," "Domino," (I was really going to shy away from those themes considering  Marvel makes me upset, because they seem to be having trouble creating characters that have their natures. They pull from the theme of the "spider," give her different names and keep portraying her as something confused, bipolar, dual natured and not trust worthy.)
comicsverse.com/single-mothers…, www.ign.com/articles/2018/02/0…

Though that is an aspect of the "spider," this very same creature can influence kings, and mighty men of valor without manipulation, when she wants to. Being her cause is worthy.

Even the Japanese are unsure as to how to best illustrate or create such a character:     aminoapps.com/c/anime/page/blo… and there art is well received world wide.

I think this would be a great challenge and I'd love to see how the sponsors score the attempts.
