First of all, I want to thank everyone who took the time to comment on this guy during the contest. Secondly, thanks to the folks that voted for him--I was happy as I could be I managed to get anything at all against the stellar competition this year. Last, but not least, a quick shout out to Lunchbox for his guidance on this little project.
A few folks had commented on the webs. It was quite simple, really. I took one of my wife's make-up remover cotton balls and teased the individual fibers out until the individual strands were separated and glue them in place with standard PVA glue. I think the key was separating out the individual fibers; it helped to get the right scale for the webbing. I added them in small bits as well to gradually build up the density of the webbing (sounds a lot like painting, huh? :)).
Anyway, thanks again to everyone as well as the awesome Wyrd crew for yet another excellent contest.
