Description

This is my 2nd and main entry to :iconbarrelex:'s Return To Scrapworld Contest.

Bio
Arachne is a reincarnation of The suffering It is unclear to the survivors what exactly happened but it is known that a more resilient mind took over The collective," transforming the male suffering into a female queen. Shortly afterward Arachne assumed control of all scrap zombies in scrap world. Any scrap being that has not broken free from the collective is under her control. Absorbing all six of the piraka gives her the abilities of each element and their powers which reside in each her legs. Like with the suffering, her consciousness resides through out her body by having more than one mind to transfer to. Arachne traded raw power for more speed and sharpened her mind beyond that of the suffering. Upon constructing herself she found roodaka's old body, liking it, she absorbed it and recreated it. Some say that it is Roodaka that took over the suffering, Some say that it was krikka seeing as how there are traces of him, but most survivors are skeptical.
Warning to all survivors Contact with Queen Arachne, while isn't automatically lethal should be avoided. Only toa or titan class survivors should approach Arachne. While dangerous, she is a valuable source of information, and alliances. Your death could mean the salvation of your village.

About the MOC I am submitting her as she is now because I wanted to get something in before the dead line, and will be heading out of town before the deadline. She's not done, but if this is what has to be judged for the contest so be it. The initial concept came from as ~MapleMaster puts it" staring too long at one piece," in this case, the toa Lhikan Mask from the Battle for Metru Nui play set. The bottom of her abdomen features the black Dume Mask from the Tower of Toa playset, then her thorax is built mostly off of the blue Thock mask from the Piraka strong hold set. The initial concept was to use these large masks somehow on a MOC. I'm happy with how those all got used. When I finish her I will add a lot more masks and other faces to really flesh out this "mask" theme. With her human body I took special care to make the color scheme consistent. As stated above it is a slightly modified and recolored Roodaka body. I also kept the back mandibles from the suffering. That was a very important element of the MOC to retain. This was a very tough MOC and I've still got a considerable amount to go if I want to finish her to satisfaction.

Update I added a little more armor to her legs, plus put a Lantern(Modified from ~wolfbossx's version ) and "Matteo-nette" in her other. I made the puppet Matteo for no real reason, other than that's how it worked out as I built him. I wasn't able to get her to stand on her legs so I put makeshift stands under her to raise her body off the ground. This is my final version of her for this contest.

Thanks for Faving, commenting and what not. :D
