"Kaiju" Spider / Warweaver | Kulipari - An Army of Frogs

The Warweaver, a monstrous arachnid of kaiju proportions used by the spider queen Jarrah as a walking throne and war beast. The Kaiju Spiders design went through multiple modelling iterations before it was handed to me in mid 2024 to create a few concept art options in order to fully define its design identity. My first design was intended to push this difference, being the thinnest of the three and utilizing elements of lightning, magic, and deep sea life heavily. It was also meant to be closer to a literal throne with Jarrah sitting atop the spiders thorax, the rows of comb jellyfish esque tentacles framing her body and the legs devolving into arcs of arcane lightning. The second design took elements from one of the previous iterations of the spider which utilized vortexes of black smoke and ash that congealed into the body, taking it a step further by having Jarrah animate the bones of an ancient spider using necromantic magic. The third design I decided to take the term "Kaiju-Spider" more literally, making a true monster of a spider intended to be the bulkiest and most aggressive of the designs while still retaining its regality with the deep purple and golden trim.
