I have had another attempt to visualise the design of the robot spiders, I tried to go more retro with the concept of these spiders inhabiting a 1950's world that the characters are going back into. I basically used the turnabout sheets as the main inspiration for the shapes and structure but I discarded the pod feet as Dayle advised me that  they looked tacky. I feel this concept has come along way to my first attempts and that I starting to express the robotic as well as the spider form. I think I might make some tweaks to the design of the mother because I don't feel as happy with it as the design of the baby. I have included progression stages below.







@ Dayle and Sean, If there are any further thoughts or problems then please comment, let me know what you think as well
