jimhines's Jig the Goblin series (soon to be out in omnibus form), Smudge the fire-spider:
The two not-flaming images. I wanted to get a few of these, just in case, because as soon as the flames went on they weren't coming off. Notice all eight eyes (which I maybe should've made black, and also placed them differently, but they took long enough that I'm so not re-doing them now) and the pedipalps or possibly fangs in front! Notice the four-legs-per-side! ...Notice how it looks rather more like a mite than a spider, argh =_= It gets better, at least?
FLAMING SPIDER! (Well, he has been spending rather a lot of time with Man-Spider Amazing, The lately...) Featuring standard front and side views, with bonus "attempting to look out the window to maybe see bugs to catch and barbecue" view!
For my first attempt at making fire out of yarn, I think he turned out reasonably well. I've since simplified the process a bit (pretty much down to "just brush out the yarn and twist the ends, maybe mix a couple different colors"), but I'm still pleased with it.
His pattern is available here, with (slightly outdated) tutorial on how to make the flames included.
