Lolth's appearance

I've managed to track down one Nodwick pic with Lolth in:

though there are others in Dragon. Not sure if they went up online though.

A couple more Lolth pics the way I see her... though I don't quite agree with mammary glands on an arachnid/hybrid

Another drider Lolth

IMHO the necessary trait set contains:
- Dark skin (elf parts & spider parts both)
- Pointy elf ears
- Spidery bits
- Darkness all over the scene

Which specific bits are spidery is open to artistic interpretation. Drider is fine, mostly spider is fine, mostly elf is probably fine too (would have to see).

Might be an interesting twist to have a spider's head on a woman's body. I've not seen that one before, though it's reminiscent of Egyptian deities.

Ettercaps resemble this, but without the boobs.

How about Evil Spinnerette?

Uh... guys? Remember Granma!

Although the first pic is definitely a good render, driders were considered a punishment for failed worshipers thus it seems ignorant to depict Her as such - therefore I always pictured her natural form to be a shapely six-armed female drow with eight spider eyes set above a pair of fanged mandibles; creating an overall emotional response that seems "wrong" to mortal minds, driving lesser beings insane from the juxtaposition.

Reports of her "attractive" form are merely individuals who failed to notice the extra features hidden within her robe/hair when she choose to appear a normal mortal.

Lolth is a spider with a human head. Period. Anyone who believes otherwise shall be tossed into the Demonweb Pit, where spiders will feat upon the juices of their souls for a thousand years.

Actually I really truly cannot take the 1e Lolth seriously, because it brings ~ removed link ~ to mind. Anyone who likes human-headed Lolth, that's what you apparently want.

I'll stick with drider-Lolth, because spider-boobs are hawt.
