Goliath Phalangium Opilio (big ol' daddy long leg)

Made this unnaturally large daddy long leg! God help you if you happen to stumble upon this thing in the woods. This monstrosity has a leg span nearly twice the diameter of a large serving plate. It comes out of irradiated debris to eat big toads and small mammals.

This is my first organic asset that I have textured in Painter. It was a great learning experience, and I can't wait to do more creepy looking stuff!
Initially I didn't plan to put this thing in an environment like this, but after using debris generator and some bits and pieces of arch models for the foliage; I couldn't resist trying to make it more cinematic.
In addition to my typical modeling/texturing/rendering process, I took a stab at creating a basic rig to control the poses. I was pleased to be able to finally comprehend a little more about rigging.
