ArachNed SPLAT by bowrll
Original art by 
bowrll ! Give her praise here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1598829/
This is a new icon for me, done by bowrll. Just one of the 'Fling-Splat' series where the commissioner's character is thrown up against a plane of glass and slides off.
You might think that since he's a spider, Ned here could climb up the wall, but not that smooth glass stuff, oh no! ::P
Anyway, it's super cute, like all of bowrll's work, and she did a great job on all Ned's colours/patterns. I love it.

I am a snake, first and foremost.
But I also have shark and spider characters! As seen here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1581721/

Ned is by far the cutest spider I've ever seen in this fandom. Always fun when I see him!
I may have missed this in other posts of yers, so I apologize if the answers are already publically available! What species of spider is Ned? N' what's the inspiration behind his unique abdomen pattern?

Ned is meant to be an orb-weaver spider, although his black and white look is closer to something like a zebra / zebra-back spider, which is a jumping spider.
Although, really, I just wanted to make a totally black and white character, and also a spider, since I had seen some that had this alternating black/white pattern on their legs.
The abdomen pattern, though: aside from how I have seen spiders with intricate patterns on their 'butts' in general, the inspiration for Ned's itself came from a calculus text book. There was this mathematically-generated fractal art on a math book I had in high-school (stuff like this: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BTiZD7p_oTc/.....resdefault.jpg ). When I ended up designing Ned's pattern, I went looking for an image like that, and found one. I mirrored a nice spirally part of it to be symmetrical, and then turned it to be greyscale, and slapped it onto his behind.
To put it another way: Basically, I thought 'I can't design something so crazy as what I feel like I've seen on spiderbutts, but I bet a fractal thing would be a good fake way to make such a thing' so I went looking. And the math book was the only reason I even knew fractal imagery like that existed.
