Description
Here's a character I've been mulling over for some time now. Thanks to a the help of a couple of friends, she's got a name now. Olyvia, or Olive for short (friends call her Olie, or at least they would if she had any friends), is going to college to get into medicine, despite the fact that she's lined up to inherit the family business of textiles and fabric making, which is world famous. She's got the brains, but years and years of nothing but study has left her social skills pitifully inept. Because she comes from money and is very direct and forceful, her peers tend to think she's haughty and stuck up, but in reality she's very lonely and could afford to make some friends, which is probably why she agreed to tutor in the first place, despite the fact that it eats into her precious study time....oh, right. She's also an Arachne. Don't ask how her jeans work, I'm...not sure myself. Maybe it has a button fly in the back as well as the front.

How could one possibly focus on studying with such a beautiful partner?

D'aww, you flatterer. I'm in the middle of redesigning her, though, here's a sneak peek: dl.dropbox.com/s/sgto7ikcousjo⦠(she'll still have boobs, I just need to decide what size they should be)

Not too big, I hope! And she still looks lovely! Will she have the multiple pupils in her eyes?

Those Jeans... I can't take my eyes off of them...

Going to have to redesign them unfortunately, as I've redesigned her anatomy a bit:dl.dropbox.com/s/q1f5nlybwikyvβ¦

Aww, you're not adding human-like legs to the front of her, are you?
...Well, it's your drawing, do as you please.

Nah, her legs are going to be half human, half chelicera with fangs for feet.Β To me, it's a little less weird than thinking of her vagina as the fanged bits. 
π: 0 β©: 1
Chelicerae, huh? Β When I've seen drider designs like that (such as Rachnera) I thought they were trying to replace the pedipalps. Β Either way, half the time they look less like a fusion between human and spider and more like they glued a woman's butt to a spider's face. Β Never been a big fan of that.
Honestly I like the original design you have here, especially with how the jeans make her look so very modern. Β Adding pedipalps and chelicerae make clothing options difficult.

I'm giving her pedipalps coming from her hips. ^^
I know, but I don't like the spread leg look for her character type.Β Could use it for a smaller, more aggressive arachne, like a little jumping spider, we'll see.

Smart but lacking in social skills... I can really relate to that, I have that exact same problem in real life (and thus by extension, my OC Janus, who shares my positives and negatives, has that problem as well).

It's not much fun, really.

Maybe the jeans unzip from front to back and come off in two halves.

Hey, that's pretty clever.

Well she does have the money to tailor them. I guess she must have one classy family if, from what I'm hearing, her mother hasn't eaten her father.
π: 0 β©: 1
Her mother hasn't eaten her father, no. And they are a fairly well-off bunch, but I wouldn't say they're completely white collar. Definitely famous, but not completely posh.

Very lovely, and nice to see a spider-girl wearing pants... Always interesting (at least to me) to see how these transformed women would interact with the modern world. ^^

She was born that way, actually. But aye, seeing an idea more archaic or fantastic and seeing it modernized is an interest of mine.

Olive:"If you've got time to tell me that, you're not putting everything into your studies, now work harder!"

Jeans are easy. Open back and short belt from one side of the back to the other, coming up between each leg.

Mind drawing that up for me? I think I get you, but at the same time I kinda don't.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sorry, I can't draw.
Think of a normal pair of jeans but instead of a seat a flap of material with straps that go up between each pair of legs and connect (buttons or Velcro).
Maybe kinda like: head 8||||0 abdomen.

Does that make since?

An Arachne with jeans? It's actually the first time i see it but she looks lovely in them, you know, not exactly used to see Spider-girls covering their lower bits.
Meg: "It's really nice to see another insectile creature like me...although i have to ask..." *Shrugs, taking one step back* "...are bees and other insects in your Diet?"
π: 0 β©: 1
Olive:"...um, no. I like fish, I guess...and salads."*looks up at Meg, whom towers over her*"Why do you ask, anyway? I couldn't eat someone as big as you even if I tried, which I won't."
π: 0 β©: 1
Meg: "Thank god...it's just that i heard animal spiders ate animal bees and other human-world species...and i was somewhat scared" *Smiles nervously* "But now i know you're not going to hurt me, i'm Meg" *She extended her hand for Olive to shake*

Olive:"Olive."*shakes Meg's hand*

Meg: "Do you live in something like a community of Arachne...? Or are you alone? Because i've never seen a Spider-Girl...well...wearing jeans"
π: 0 β©: 1
Olive:"I live in the apartments outside the college, but I have a mom and sister at home. There's a bit of a community there, but it's diverse in its species. I lived next door to a family of Centaur, and across the street lived this Kappa boy who would come over every now and then to play."*raises an eyebrow*"...and a lot of us wear pants, skirts, and other articles of lower body clothing. I don't know about you, but I'd rather not have my genitalia exposed for the world to see."
π: 0 β©: 1
Meg: "H-Hey! There's nothing wrong about being nude...after all, wearing clothing to cover the body is a mostly human thing" *She hugged herself, now feeling a bit ashamed to be all naked* "I mean, your body is nothing to be ashamed of...although i don't go around humans to avoid getting stared at, it's much more comfortable to be naked"

Olive:"Hmph. You have your way, I have mine."

Meg: "I-I was just making a suggestion, please don't eat me" *She had her hands on her cheeks, flustered*

Olive:*mildly annoyed*"I already said I wouldn't, jeez..."

Meg:<7b> "Right..." *Shrugs*

Olive:"...what's your deal, anyway?"*crosses her arms, looking at Meg intently*"I've never seen you around or on the school roster. You just transfer in or something?"
π: 0 β©: 1
Meg: "I just went out for a walk...i guess i ended up here, i'm sorry if it's a private place, i just didn't know" *She smiled nervously as her antennae twitched*

Olive:"Oh, so that explains it...well, you're probably already aware, this is a school for people who are...different, I guess. I'm studying to be a medical doctor, personally."
π: 0 β©: 1
Meg: "A doctor? That's curious...i guess your silk-making abilities will come in handy" *Her ovipositor poked out of her abdomen* "Oops...sorry; i'm 39 and i just recently started to look for small jobs, and i never really went to school" *She smiled shortly afterwards* "I like to cook on my free time, although i never took any lessons"

Olive:"...I'm only 18."

Meg: "I guess that means you have a long way ahead"

Olive:*nods*"I worked hard to get to where I am today, but even I know I have a long way to go to accomplish my goals. Half-way to my degree in Medicinal Science."

Meg: "Is university good...? Since it's mostly a human thing, i haven't been able to really have a look at it"
π: 0 β©: 1
Olive:"It's good if you want to learn."

Yay Olie ^(l l)^
Haha I JUST noticed the 4 pupils in each eye. ( * *)

Yep. Wanted to get away from the eyeballs on the forehead thing.
