Description
Arachne, who was punished for believing her skills as a weaver surpassed those of Athena, the Goddess of weaving, by being turned into a spider and cursed to weave for the rest of eternity.

I've made her a humanoid spider woman rather than a straight-up spider because I thought that would be more interesting/fun. She hasn't been mentioned or appeared in my Rise of the Guardians fanfic yet but she'll be popping up soon enough. What's her role? Well, where on earth do you think the Muses got all those fancy outfits they wear?

She and the Muses are good friends and she loves working with them. They always provide her fascinating challenges and of course, endless inspiration. She and Thalia are particularly close, I think.

When I was working on her, I got a suggestion from one of my classmates to look into Edith Head and maybe throw some references to her in Arachne's design and I thought that would be a lot of fun. So the round glasses and blunt bangs (as well as the outfit to an extent) are nods to her. Plus I thought having the extra lenses for her extra eyes would be awesome and it's still my favorite part of the design.

For the record, drawing a character with extra limbs from that many angles sucks.

She'll be the last reference sheet for a while, I think. I want to do Apollo at some point but I don't know what he looks like yet. In the meantime, you should check out my story and my other character designs!

Something Quite Peculiar - Chapter 01
Chapter One: Reminiscing
The cabin could barely be called a cabin. It was more of a hut: a building in the loosest sense of the word. It had four walls and a roof, a door, a window, and a chimney that looked as though it were ready to fall over. Truthfully, it appeared that a strong gust of wind could knock down the shack, with signs surrounding which read, “Condemned” and “No Trespassing.”
The small structure was concealed behind several large trees, and was incredibly easy to miss, nestled within the forest that rarely anyone ventured into.
It was always snowing around this cabin, regardless of the season.
Inside was exceedingly less interesting than outside, if at all possible. There was only one room, which contained a mattress and pillow in the corner, a fireplace that appeared to have not been used in decades, and a few shelves on one of the walls.
The shelves proved to be at least somewhat intriguing, containing items such as a matryoshka do
