Hi i really love your designs you made in all spiders!!! I really how you draw Blackarachnia! Do you have a full character sheet of their design by any chance
Aww thank you so much for kind words!! They boosted my productivity and inspiration!
AllSpiders' Frame Headcanons:
Their spider bellies are incredibly soft and elastic, to the point where they often cuddle together, using each other's bellies as pillows. Despite that, the spider abdomens are a mix of thick armor plating and metal, making them extremely difficult to pierce.
They have fluff almost all over their frames. Elita has a thin layer of soft fur that emphasizes her elegance and agility; but ironically enough, Sentinel is by far the fluffiest of the trio, making him appear much larger than the other two. They often joke and tease him about it.
Instead of producing silk like the rest of them, Optimus produces very thin carbon nanofiber cables, which are much stronger and more durable (that's actually a thing, u can search it up).
Their optics can zoom in and out independently, making it seem like they're watching multiple things at once. They tried to get rid of this creepy habit, but eventually realized it's too difficult to unlearn and is actually quite useful in hostile environments.
Even with such advanced optics, vibrations are far more informative than sight to them. They can easily identify someone by the sound of their breathing just outside the room, for example. That's also why, when they arrive on Earth, they instantly hate rain: it overwhelms their sensors by creating thousands of overlapping vibration signals. In general, they dislike loud noises and become overloaded by them rather easily.
Their frames occasionally produce quiet mechanical clicks that sound like insect chatter. The sounds become more pronounced whenever they remain completely still & silent for some time.
While in stasis, their frame parts (servos, legs, mouths, etc.) occasionally twitch due to calibration routines being disrupted by the organic parts of their frames. Because of this, Optimus and Elita have secretly saved plenty of videos of Sentinel making funny movements and faces in his sleep.
They all have a strange, slightly disturbing fascination with collecting shiny objects, with Elita being the biggest magpie of the three, ofc.
I really loved @crispy-art-on-fire 's take on OP's and Sentinel's designs so much it inspired me to these bunches. At first, I wanted to draw strictly to the og's designs, but u know how it goes for an artistic mind; you pick a color, create one line after another, decide to make some hue saturation differences, then color balance tweaks, then play a bit with blend modes, and here we go…
