Description
My entry for the "Eight Legs" Contest [link]Call me weirdo if you want, but the first time I read Eight Legs in the contest, I instantly thought "Sleipnir".
If you don't know about Sleipnir... in Norse mythology, Sleipnir is Odin's eight-legged steed, and the greatest of all horses. His name means smooth or gliding, and is related to the English word "slippery" (cheap Wikipedia copypasta).

Technical data... at first, I was drawing it in only one layer, like some of my last submitted works. But doing this, was really difficult to give it an appropriate atmosphere. So I remembered "Siegfried", a comic book that ~Etbaal shown me not so long ago. This gave me the idea of change the style of the entire work, drawing it as a colored comic or something. To improvise a style for a contest entry is risky, because it can be wrong, or people will dislike it... but hey, it was funny.
Everything was done with Adobe Photoshop CS3. As always, no pencil sketch, 100% tablet.

Cruel invento donde los haya... escalofriantes pedazos de plástico condenados a sonreir hasta que se les borre la cara o el perro se los coma.

Lo del perro está bien, piensas que Fenrir anda suelto, y todo cobra sentido. Pero ver cómo los muñequitos siguen sonriendo durante el Ragnarök, no encaja...
