IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
	
	This is my second entry in the IRTC, haven't entered in over a year. Its
kind of ironic that I decided to enter in this round considering I'm only slightly
scared of spiders :-P Anyway, I came up with the idea for this image shortly after the 
new topic was annouced. I was kind of going for a Leonardo davinci style but due to
time restraints I unforutnetly had to change the helicopter blades. it was originally
going to be a cloth covered spiral like in the drawing by Davinci. I wish I'd had more
time to work on it because the pad texture in my opinion dosen't look very good, it
gives the impression that the bug is hovering slightly above the pad.
