Blackarachnia (Transformers)

From the toy line-cum-animated series-cum-comic book series-cum-major motion picture Beast Wars (Beasties in Canada), it's one of several Predacons to make babyface turns, Blackarachnia. Trained from screengrabs of the animated series and panels from some of her appearances in the comic series. I did not train her beast mode.

• 0.6 - 0.8 weight plays nicest

• helper tags: feminine robot, mecha, ovipositors or spider legs (though some checkpoints might start adding Spider-Man affects for some reason), pincers, arthropod girl

  • try the tag humanoid hands if you want her doing more humanoid hand stuff

  • she has black eyes in the TV show and red eyes in the comics, though it tends to lean more towards red eyes, especially on 2D-focused checkpoints, so put that in negative if you prefer the show look

  • highly recommend adding tags like 3d or retro artstyle to negative for greater flexibility

• she doesn't really have an "outfit", but if a checkpoint is being stubborn about her head and giving her hair where it's not wanted, i find helmet works for that

  • the show was pretty primitive, so they couldn't really get into fine normal mapping work, but i always figured she looked kind of leathery, and indeed leathery skin tends to work pretty well in checkpoints that can generate faux-3D imagery
