I think its pretty good, although perhaps could use more hair?

In fact, its very good. But, whys he eating a person? Giant T I guess? Hehe.

Thats what scared me of spiders when I was little.

make a puddle of blood coming off the body to make it look like he's been bit a few times already!

It sucks beyond imagination, dude. Don't quit your day job. ;P

Seriously, it looks pretty good. I'd like to see the finished product.

Looks good so far ... But the fangs don't look good... At least, IMHO that is, they are just too well, straight.

Looks like a promising start for an art project. I would be tempted to make the human a little larger to increase the image's readability and for a more compact composition. You'll get more drama and action in the image if you move one or two of the tarantula's legs into a non-symmetrical position.

Just my thoughts. Stick with it and thanks for showing us.

You have already had enough compliments so I won't go there. I need to pick on the fangs. They should be curved inward more. They kinda look too straight down, if you know what I mean.

Thanks everyone, yea i really don't like the fangs ethier, i worked on them and drawn and erased and drawn and erased so many times it just made me mad so i stopped and left that so i wouldn't just stab the paper with my pencil, but i will try to get them looking more T like, the whole fact that the fangs are just straight out is pretty bad, but i need them to be showing, but i'll work on it :) Thanks everyone, yup it's free hand... I actually took a picture of my G. rosea eating a cricket and just kind of used that picture as a referance, but i'll see what happens with TRYING to make everything look good. Everything said helps me make it look better, so pick it apart and say anything you think looks weird. Thanks again.

Alright, if you really want to hear some negative things about it ... or things that could be improved ... here I go.

Lefgt hind leg isn't showing completely
Right 2nd last leg isn't showing completely either

Maybe this doesn't have much to do with the picture ... but let some blood flow :p

I too thought the fangs don't look right, but a non t person won't be able to tell the difference.
