Bionicle MOC: Anansi The Spider

Description

About the MOC
Anansi is a small(literally) build I did while waiting for parts to arrive and not wanting to get too ambitious with a project. The name Anansi comes from West African Folklore making this particular spider male(poor little guy). In the world of spiders that sucks for him. Good thing he's currently the only spider in my collection, but I'll feel really bad for him if Arachne ever comes back around. Interesting fact, females are the dominant sex in the spider order and females often feast on the males after mating.

I like how I got a Crab when I tried making a spider, and got a spider when I tried remaking an ant. I guess that means I should try and make another crab to get an ant? :confused:
After building Snip by using the Natalie Breez mask I wanted to continue the theme which is what lead to the incorporation of the Furno 2.0 skull top and his XL counterpart's mask. This use of HF masks as body parts may turn into a series for me. I certainly would like to keep using these fairly unusable masks in interesting ways.

Here's some spider icons just because there's no actual bio for this little dude, he's just a kinda cartoony, kinda creepy, kinda cute spider. :P

:iconjumpingspiderplz::iconspiderplz::iconspidersstamp1::iconspidersstamp2:I don't actually, I think there's generally nothing pleasant or friendly about spiders and generally am creeped the hell out by them.:iconspiderwebplz::iconspiderglompplz::iconmccavespiderplz::iconmcspiderplz::iconcutespiders1plz::iconcutespiders2plz:Again I'll have to disagree :iconshudderemoteplz:

Gah, I'm creeped out by them too. Okay, First off, the legs are very... Arachnid-like. Very flexible and sturdy, but also very thin. I'd like to say that you stayed true to the body style of a spider. And to be honest, I find this a very good Mini-MOC. The detail on the masks give it a Black-Widow kinda feel.

Okay, now the only thing I don't like are the eyes. They seem a little too big to Anansi's relative body size.

And I totally agree that spiders are scary.

But, it seems very original, you've got a good technique, and It's creeping me out as I type this, so five stars on impact!

As a side note, Anansi's my favorite of your Mini-MOCs. Keep it up, Dave!
