Description
Natalie is the latest "unlucky" discoverer of the Spider Witch's Medallion. The Medallion is forever trying to find a girl who'll satisfy the original Spider Witch's goal of wrath and destruction. It bestows upon the finder all the powers and the form of the Spider Witch, and gives her the Spider Witch's memories in order that she should feel the Spider Witch's wrath and destroy all that she sees. Unfortunately, most of its "giftees" really aren't all that interested in wreaking havoc, with a few outright denouncing the Spider Witch, so eventually the Medallion is "lost" again, and found a few months or years later by the next unsuspecting young woman.
I actually have this weird kind of through-line in the story that connects several TFed girls together, with Candace being the first to discover Ekúshria's Medallion many years ago, and Emily being a later discoverer of the same, and Natalie here being another. Not sure if the Spider Witch's wrath will ever be fulfilled, but the Medallion will keep searching until it finds someone who'll fulfill its goal.
I've been sick lately, so... uh... in an attempt to feel less yucky, here's a girl turning into a drider. Don't ask me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This isn't my best shading; it's mostly just what I could do in one morning while really sick with a cold. But hey, it's finished, and she turned out okay, so whatever, close enough. Maybe ten hours of effort, and drawn as usual entirely with CorelDRAW and a mouse, and now I'm going to go faceplant on my bed.

You know my Bionicle OC would gladly destroy the medallion with either his Disintegration, Fragmentation or Molecular Disruption (Inorganic) Powers.

So, when the medallion chooses a new host, do the previous spider people revert to normal?

Only if they've learned how.
The Medallion confers upon its holder two things: All the power of the Spider Witch, and her form; and it hopes that with those, she'll commit to the Spider Witch's wrath as well. So far, it has not. Some women use the powers for other purposes; some use their new form for other purposes; and some use the powers to even change back into humans. In time, when the new Spider Witch refuses to commit to destruction, the Medallion is lost again, and found by another possible new owner who gains the power and form of the Spider Witch. Someday, perhaps, its new owner will fulfill the Spider Witch's wrathful legacy, and the Medallion will then no longer be needed; but in the interim, every few years, it is found by someone new.
So some use the powers to change back. Some don't choose to. And some never figure out how.

The shading looks fine to me.
I suppose you do know that spiders have claws on the ends of their legs?

Yeah, but they don’t always look good on a drider, so I don’t always draw them. She looked better without, I think.

Great picture and an interesting bit of worldbuilding. Love Candace's picture, so cool to see it connecting to a larger storyline!

i love the picture
Funny enough that sounds like a really fun rp story to play trough. The medallion turning and trying to have the girls fulfill the spider witches wrath.

Not a drider fan in the slightest, but if your sickness is affecting your art, I'm not seeing it here.

Wow! The light sourcing and shading on the one looks amazing! Especially on the magical light emanating from the medallion and the way it reflects off of her spider half. The wind blowing the shredded bits of clothing around and the electrical sparks add a nice post-transformation.
Keep up the great work! Hope to see more Spider Medallion stories and drawings in the future. Your drider girls are some of my favorites.

"in an attempt to feel less yucky, here's a girl turning into a drider"
Please stop trying to sound insane. That's my job.
(Friendly reminder that I don't hate you and to read the entire linked comic before complaining about it)
