I created this image to experiment with Maya's powerful fur plug in. I wanted to create a image of a wolf spider that almost violated the viewer. I wanted the image to evoke either fear or respect for these creatures. Almost giving the viewer 2 choices, run away, or lay down and cuddle with it....
I borrowed a specimen of a wolf spider from the local Natural History museum, this really helped with understanding/identifying the anatomy and fur patters/colors. The image was modeled in Wings by a fellow modeler, and I performed all lighting/texturing/rigging/posing. The image was rendered using mental ray, and touch up work done in photoshop.

Great ! nice one. have you applied the fur object per objects or it is one mesh ? I have a lot of trouble with fur on a character, the seams are a nightmare cheers -

thanks for all the comments. fxnurbs, I applied the fur on a per object basis. yes, it is quite a pain to work with, especially getting it to flow in the appropriate direction. I haven\'t animated it yet, i\'m sure that will open up another can of worms. :)
