Hello, Alien Art Hive/Splinterlands community!
I'm very excited to take part in this week's Splinterlands Art Contest (Week 334) with my newest creation. Drawing inspiration from the enigmatic and powerful beings of the Splinterlands universe, I bring you the 'Fungus Flinger.
About the Artwork:
Arachne Thug like a monstrous spider-humanoid hybrid, blending fantasy and horror elements with a vivid and chaotic color palette. The creature has a skeletal face with glowing red eyes, surrounded by a crown of twisting, horn-like appendages that enhance its demonic presence. The fusion of human and arachnid anatomy is executed with a grotesque elegance, as the upper body retains a humanoid form while the lower half transforms into a multi-legged arachnid nightmare.
The exoskeleton is richly detailed, covered in organic armor-like plating with intricate textures and shading. The combination of red, green, yellow, and purple creates a psychedelic and otherworldly aesthetic, making the character feel both mystical and menacing. The jagged, sharp limbs and piercing claws further emphasize its predatory nature.
The red gemstone at its chest acts as a focal point, possibly signifying power, control, or magical influence. The dark cloak and spiked shoulder armor add to its regal yet fearsome appearance, making "Arachne Thug" look like a formidable entity within the Splinterlands card battle game.

About Arachne Thug
The venari and scavo made their homes and livelihoods within the Realm of Silence. They carved a trade from the precious metals that they mined. They collected rare tubers and fungi to sell at markets and feed their families. The two races lived a semi-harmonious life together.
That all changed when the arachne entered the dark tunnels.
Enticed by the enormous caverns and bountiful food supply, these spider-bodied fey soon expanded their territory. They had no care for the Realm's other inhabitants other than as slave labor or hunting sport. The venari and scavo were pushed closer to the surface, terrified of their spidery nemesis and their webs.
The arachne rarely came to the surface until the Chaos Legion arrived. They didn't side with the invaders but simply used the war as an excuse to expand their hunting grounds. Now, they roam the land near their burrows, killing for the sheer pleasure of it.
Warm regards,
Ruhina
