step 1
In the first part of the tutorial, I'm going to show you how I have reconstructed the spider.Firstly, I have selected the head from the source with the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M), copied into another layer (ctrl+J) and with Free Transform (ctrl+T) i have made it bigger.You can make it as bigger as you want, depending on your image size.

step 2
After that , from one of the spider's right leg and the front part I have created one bigger leg. To unite those two parts you have to use liquify(Filters->Liquify), smudge(r) and clone stamp tool (s).
Now the first leg is done.

step 3
To create another leg, you can use the left leg of the spider and the other front part.You combine them with the same methods from the previous step.Now, another leg is finished.With the same methods you create the whole spider.

step 4
Now let's move on to some details.To create the spider's "moustache" select and copy into another layer a part from the small spider's moustache.Duplicate this layer and warp and liquify adjust it to the big head.Duplicate the original layer several times and using warp, smudge and liquify create the spider's "facial hair" and arrange it so it fits the big head.As many layers as you can.....every detail counts.

step 5
Now let's position all parts of the spider so we can have one BIG spider.
