Description This is the first version of this idea. Obviously the fairy was supposed to be the center of the image, with the spider and the action secondary elements. Although it came out pretty close to what I had in mind at the time, I realized that this picture didn't do such a desperate, struggle-filled situation justice, and the spider looked a little kind and too bulbous. So, I forced myself to stare at it and think about it in the hopes that another version showed up--and, on one of those rare occasions in my "art," it happened. That one is Fairy in the Spiderweb II, which I will post in a few days.

So, does she get the wand and smite Mr. Spider? Or is she doomed?

Sweets-B wrote a short story inspired by these "Fairy Vs. Spider" pictures. It's a fun (and tragic!) read by a Deviant with some good writing skill. Check it out here . I'd be tickled pink if she'd do more. Being part of this one was lots of fun. I have my own theories about where this story will go, but I don't know if I will ever draw and put up more from this series. Seeing/reading another's well-made interpretation was refreshing,...

(Edit, Oct 9, 2009)
...And it's even more refreshing when someone else pitches in. In this case, Cindy (a.k.a. ~reacherfan ) has also written a story for this. Her story is posted here . It's another quick, fun read that highlights Cindy's particular theme and interest in the situation. Thanks, Cindy!

Enjoy!

I think you stared at this for too long, I can't see anything wrong with it: It has a certain dark feeling to it. Hairy spider....brrrr.

Well, I'm glad you think so. I have stared at it a long time, and I've tried to capture/represent that "certain dark feeling" in a great deal of the ink illustrations I'm putting up here. Thanks! --Faile35

You know it! But it is the futile struggle that is the most enjoyable... to watch from the sidelines, I mean. --Faile35

Very cool!
Well, you say that you never draw women dead or bleeding, so that would suggest that Miss Fairy does indeed smite MR. Spider.

Or else I just won't draw the "dead or bleeding" parts... --Faile35

"Cheating"? That's a bit harsh. I prefer to think of it as "Playing by a different set of rules..." --Faile35

I think this spider is quite menacing, it's doing an effective job of tethering her, while looming over her. It feels like it should have something in the mouth area to add to the sense of danger. I suspect the fairy wand will remain out of reach in 'Fairy in the Spiderweb II'
