There was once a spidery contents here but a spider has now put them inside coccoons.... Like Shelob did with Frodo Baggins~ Or maybe like those fleshy things in Aliens before the chestburster bursts out of them~ Yep, like one of those things :D

I can't imagine why anyone in their right minds would want you to not be on this platform. (Guess that says something about the minds of anyone giving you grief.) I say do what makes you happy and to heck with anyone who tries to tell you otherwise or gives you a hard time. 🤗
Sorry, I wish I was keeping up more with you (and many others) on our chain. This zodiac series is phenomenal! As I'm a cancer I had to click on this piece. I love the look in her eyes. Like she's daring who she's looking at to come forward and taste her claws. "You want a piece of me?"
Hope that you're having a terrific day today and that the upcoming weekend is even better for you.
Those users who have a problem with you are probably just stupid. Ignore them and post as much as you can. You are incredibly talented and an amazing person.

Hey how are you? I love your zodiac drawings, the theme has a lot of imagination. And the cancer girl is very characteristic. I love your work because you are different, you are unique in your style. Greetings darling!
Ouch.
To start with, let me tell you are my favourite steemian and the face that you are non whale in wallet but whale by heart gives me motivation. I do not know you since a long time so not sure of what makes you say that, but in the last months, all I have known is you are one of those valuable steemian that needs to be appreciated and looked at. You are awesome Spider, I know you know it too, in your heart :)
Ah nice. You've integrated the yin and the crab elements of the sign. I don't think I've seen that before. Very cool.
Cancer's eyes are really beautiful... ((: And then the lobster hands send a little shiver down my spine.
Abit like the Siren.
Can't wait for Scorpio!! ❤️
I've been loving your ladies of the zodiac so much Spider. Looking forward to seeing how you will personify my sign now too.
Just a different perspective on 'branching out' perhaps: From my experience, it can be fun and supportive and helpful in your personal creative development. However, it can also be SO time-consuming. At different times when I've felt I needed to put more energy into another avenue, all of a sudden, it will have my undivided attention for weeks that can turn into months. After that happening a few times, I've been working towards maintaining a more balanced approach.
I'm thinking, but don't know when I'll have time to write it all out, of sharing how I use Steemit as my main avenue and then share to other avenues from there. For me now, the work needs to be the focus and the sharing of it as streamlined as possible. Too much time online is TOO damaging for the whole being.
You don't have to put energy (thoughts, feelings you have to defend or justify) into anyone or anything Spider. Just keep being the delightful artist and being you are. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Such wonderful detail that adds a layer of depth. This is why I don’t draw much when I add in detail it just looks like a mess hehe.
With amazing work like this I don’t blame you for looking for more options. That is the thing about talent it sometimes has to look around for the best place that it can be appreciated to its full extent.
Positives and negatives everywhere you go @veryspider life!
Sketch is awesome, on topic, I cannot create art with a pen, nib or quill no natural talent in drawing or musical instruments, have eyes/ears and always enjoy supporting art work by creatives who do have talent.
Be happy, on or off-line that is what counts.
I give you my trick sweetie : focus only on what and who you want to make exist in your life, the "real life" or the internet one, for anything you will focus on will still manifest and the rest will just disappear, we could say like by magic, but better say by lack of attention to it ;-) I'm waiting for the Libra, my sign 😃 ❤️
''that the damage is done months ago, I have branched out of Steemit and am scaling down on my energy spent on this platform. So, be happy.'' What happened dear Spider? Please, don't let bad and jealous people influence your art and life.. World if full with them, and art is above them all. Art is yours, personal, and there will always be someone not liking it..but still there will be more those who love it. So, please, just skip those '' bad seed'' persons and do your thing.
I've been off Steemit so much of late not by choice but because I've had to do so much more this season for my rental houses. Now I see you might be going to another platform? That's sad, also what is the platform? Maybe I'll follow?
I always worried when discord became more of a thing on Steemit I started to feel bad as what I LOVED about steemit was it had a very early 2000's blog feel and people engaged IN the comments.
I have tried and failed at Discord. I just can't do it. I can never find people on at the right time and when I do it's often people who have started to really connect and you feel like a third wheel, so I just didn't get anything out of it.
I'm worried now when I have the time to be on here more in the coming months will it be even more different? Oh well, I think this IS the downfall of social media.
I just wish I had an online site that was about art and creativity that rewarded each other and just let us talk about fun things like art, gardening, being creative and that was it and there was no outside link to things like Discord. It was just a closed system that you can go in and out of and enjoy it for what it is.
I hope you don't leave entirely. I'm sad that @scrawly doesn't appear to be on here any longer either :/
Love your zodiac series - missed them until now! Funny I caught up at Cancer - I have a cancer moon, but i definitiely don't have crabby claws!! Cancer peeps are homebodies and emotional souls. Thank god it's not the only aspect of me or I'd be a mess!
🎁 Hi @veryspider! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @dswigle!
@dswigle wrote lately about: Maine-Ly A Wednesday Walk On A Tree Tuesday Feel free to follow @dswigle if you like it :)
Oh, those come hither eyes are belying the truth of the matter! Oh, the claws make it rather fantastic! I love it.
Oh, I am a Leo!!! I can hardly wait to see what you do with that!! :)
I'm sorry you experienced a bump in the steem trail here, you have become such a fun read and the interaction is top notch. So few take the time to spend a moment or three.
Oh, word to the artist... don' t make Leo creepy! It just wouldn't be fitting! ;) LOL I couldn't take it !
!tip
What an amazing drawing. She looks pretty with large eyebrows.
Oh wait! What am I seeing? She has claws!

Sorry to hear people are after you. Guess it is some kind of jealousy...I think your content is great and you're great asset to the art community. Not to mention all your great comments!
Great drawings @veryspider I'm glad you still post on here. What other places did you go to?
So glad to see you back, @veryspider :) Cancer has some serious raptor claws! :D
I have no knowledge on zodiac. But I love your art. 👍

My first thought when I saw your post thumbnail - "YAY! Another cool zodiac drawing by @veryspider!"
My first thought when I started reading your post - "NOOOO! DON'T GO!!!!"
I know you said you're scaling back, not leaving, however I hope you don't scale back too much! I completely get how you're feeling, and I know you need to do what's right for you, but I'd hate to see the haters win!
That being said, I love your interpretation of Cancer - the sweet faced girl with the menacing claws really resonates for all the Cancers I know (my son included). And I know I've said it before, but looking forward to seeing Leo - so glad it's up next! 😊 ❤️ 🦁 ♌️

cool art i'm a cancerian too :), i have a doubt what is your zodiac sign @veryspider?
I always enjoy when I get a chance to pop by and see your artwork! We watched AHS, too, so this is quite reminiscent of lobster boy. ;) I am an Aries, so I like your creation of my sign, as well. I used to work with someone who did her own take on the Zodiac signs in a series like this, so it is fun to see all the different ways they can be artistically interpreted!
Naaaa! My dear and favorite spider !
I respect your choice, but I have to say you'll be missed :)
Already said this more than once : you've been someone very inspiring around here, by your support and way to be.
As long as you're fine (and I've read you were in other answers :) ), chose what's good to you, and thanks a bunch for what' you've already done here for everybody ! <3
That said... That's a long road to the Pisces from here... But the best for the end :D
I love it. The eyes say "come hither," and then the claws say "run." Then the mouth says, "come on, you might like it..."
Sorry to hear things got uncomfortable for you around here. It was great to see a post from you. I miss the hell out of you and @scrawly.
Is most of this drama going on over at Discord? Maybe I miss out on all the drama because I've never managed to figure that side of things out.
I was waiting for this one 😀. I like the part of the giant crab and also the lobster association, we learn new stuff everyday! I am going to check out some details on wikipedia, I'm just too curious about that Karkinos story. Thank you for that early post
Wait no no no. Actually, the name of this zodiac came from a GIANT ENEMY CRAB who harassed Squidward when he was fighting with Spongebob and its element is kraby patty.
Okay, history lesson aside xD Pretty much like most people here, I don't know what you've been through and what kind of shitty people you had to deal with because I'm only been active again recently after being dead for a few months, but I hope you really are fine there and not have your mind bothered with it anymore. Because I know bad mood can affect someone's productivity and creativity negatively, so it wouldn't be good for you as an artist (and as a normal spider too of course), right?
It's like, for every fish that loves Spongebob's kraby patty, there's always one Squidward that hate and think it doesn't matter. When you do something that publicly matter, especially on the internet, there will always those people who won't like it and shit all over it. But remember, there are also those who will be nice to you too. Didn't think Spongebob could be that deep, did you?
Anyway, I love this Lobster Girl drawing. She looks sweet but also dangerous and fearsome. I hope I'll still be around to be able to see more of your zodiac arts until my zodiac :> and to join whatever contests you do that I could write about.
I don't know what the situation is, but I will say that it is a normal part of life, dealing with the negativity of others. If it's a question of one or two people not liking what you are posting, or expressing that you are being over-rewarded for your posts, then that tells us more about those people than it does about you.
I enjoy seeing your posts, and I adore your art, especially your line style. I think 'earning' on steemit is as much about engaging with other people on the platform as it is about posting quality content, and I think you do both.
I think the bottom line is that it's your blog, your posts, your rewards, and you should be able to do what you like, as long as you aren't being rude or intentionally hurting people.
It's a shame to hear that you've had issues here. I do hope you will choose to spend more time here rather than on other platforms, because my brief interactions with you have been delightful. To me you are the first person on Steemit I've really engaged with the most, and the fact that you've encouraged me is valuable. Your early conversations with me are a large part of why I've continued to persist with posting on Steemit.
Thanks veryspider!
As always you always make your art looks so wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us and have a great day!

I'm a Cancer and I love this art. It shows some personalities and aura of what I thought Cancer will show. A little to hard to explain how it actually felt but I hope that you got me :P
Well...I slightly wonder what platform you are branching to so I can continue to read things there. No hard feelings, this is just a platform and it's natural for people to hop for a better one :)
Be happy, as you said!
Oh cool that's my sign! And I still don't know what to do on my birthday :-0
Hello, @veryspider! It is unusual to see Cancer in the female image. 2 persons born under this sign are my husband (a bearded man, lol) and my ex mother in law, but she looks rather a turtle ))
Glad you are fully back to Steem. But ... what damage did you mean? Seems I missed something important
I'm always happy when I see you post. ^_^ this is my star sign! Often Cancer is depicted as soft and weepy so I really love her expression here. I'd think twice before taking her on! xo If you scale down, we'd be sad but you should do what is best for you. If you need some support in response to whoever has been troubling you, it sounds like there is a lot of love for you here. Be well my friend. ❤️

@acidyo has a fine taste for art:) Keep on posting Spider a lot of people enjoy seeing your artworks:) Cancer looks cute and menacing with the claws, i like it:)
What? People don't like you? You don't need to pay attention to those bitter human, I love all your works, and I believe they're more.
Just as always your drawing so outstanding and breathtaking. I love the way you draw the eyes
I'm really glad that you've branched out (because we all know what happens if you stash all the eggs in one box/basket XD). Much less glad that you're scaling back efforts here, unless you meant with the sheer volume of community stuff you were doing because honestly I have no idea how you work and draw and do THAT much community stuff all at once O_O I'd miss your posts and comments and our occasionally ridiculous conversations ;-;
And on that well don't worry if you didn't have the time or inclination to look into the crypto-related shenanigans:) I was just trying to show that it's actually easy even for people like me so you won't have any problems :)
Cancer looks like she's about to make shit real with those claws and that face XD She facing off Taurus or the two of them about to take some people down?
@acidyo is right, and I love seeing your art, @veryspider. It’s long been some of my favorite work on Steemit.✍🏻
No libra yet, Saving the best to last I see! I'm not sure what happened, but sad to see you're scaling down, on to new adventures perhaps. It's difficult investing so much energy into something, I find that I am spreading myself thin over platforms, projects and day to day living. I have learnt something new today about the zodiac signs and enjoying the art!
Dear @veryspider, I hope that you are doing alright. Please don't stop posting or scale down your time and energy here (except in the event where you need a break/more time to yourself) because someone don't like your content. There are many of us who love your content ❤
Regarding the artwork, at first I thought she looks delicate but then after checking the second picture I found it a little creepy due to her hands 😨 however, it is very creative to add a touch of the story to the drawing by combining the soft looking girl with claw-like hands =)

I'm enjoying this series of drawings. I'll be keeping an eye out for Libra ;)
Whoa @veryspider ...
"... I don't know what to tell you but you'd be happy to know that the damage is done months ago, I have branched out of Steemit and am scaling down on my energy spent on this platform. So, be happy."
... stopping by to visit one of your posts and read this?! Not sure what this means or what is behind it, but I was saddened to read you have "... branched out of Steemit and am scaling down ..."
Do you have another post somewhere that discusses what is troubling you? Not that it is really any of my business I suppose, but I was concerned, as I have always enjoyed our interaction.
I hope all is generally well with you!
Hey I am a cancer :) I like the lobster girl. Kinda reminds me of the book Geek Love which I enjoyed. Also in the immortal words of Taylor Swift (I may be paraphrasing here) haters gonna hate just shake it off. Shake it off. :)
Hello @veryspider. It is so nice to see this work of yours. By the way, my zodiac sign is cancer and my birthday is coming up! What date? That I would not spill. Kidding aside, I hope you are doing great.

I agree with @acidyo. If someone doesn't enjoy your content they can proceed to fuck off. The content itself is just a medium to connect to people. That's where the real value is. This is the internet. It's not difficult to find artwork at every level imaginable, but what's rare is finding REAL people that you can connect with. That's what you specifically are incredibly good at. Keep doing you Spidey :) And using the #palnet tag :D
This one is a little scary. Sometimes I imagine my relatives or coworkers are hiding their claws.
