About the artwork

At one point I see the vegetation moving in several places not far from me, and then I see them...
They are terrible predators, a strange evolution, a mix between lions and spiders, with strong jaws, a wide-spectrum eye, and several multi-functional legs.
Now I understand why the hexagiraffes kept away from here and why the ostriches are always in rapid movement.
And now I also understand why the few Cyclopes who survived these terrible beings went crazy.
The exploration ends here, I go back as quickly as possible, I don't want to end up the same way.

Subject: Mission Report

I just finished the exploration of the third planet of this solar system.
I can confirm that in the remote past there was an advanced civilization, but not enough to avoid the climatic catastrophe that made the surface of this planet practically uninhabitable.
There is no longer any trace of this civilization, except for some fragments, but not enough to advance any hypothesis.
On the planet there are some small areas in the subsoil where animal and plant life has taken refuge, evolving until it no longer has anything similar to its predecessors.
In conclusion, even on this planet there are not enough clues to understand whether it is the homeland of our ancestors.
I proceed towards my next destination.
End of report.

"Spiderlion" features a distinctive graphic style that combines abstraction and stick figures through vibrant and expressive techniques. It employs gestural strokes and flowing black lines to highlight the character's hair and shape, drawing inspiration from Jean Dubuffet and CoBrA artists. The bright color palette includes yellow and brown for the hair, fluorescent green for the torso, and dark blue and gray for shadows. The title implies a fusion of a lion and a spider, evident in its spider-like mane and legs. Digital methods produce translucent areas and diverse textures, embodying an art brut style alongside contemporary digital illustration with dynamic forms.
