April 2 - Crab

"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

~ Theodore Roosevelt

It is said that during the battle between Hercules and the giant hydra, a crab pinched Hercules on the foot.

It was not a giant crab. No weapons, no assistance - it wasn't poisonous. It wasn't exceptionally fast, it wasn't even purple - there were no visible advantages at all.

It was a normal crab - and instantly obliterated.

Whether it was sent by Hera or simply joined the fight uninvited, the gesture didn’t go unnoticed. Hera honored the crab's sacrifice with a place among the stars as the zodiac symbol.

This design is from the Isopresso YouTube members tutorials - having built his other crabs it's interesting to see how he is able to construct the more stylized shape of this one.  I felt it sort of looked like the zodiac symbol when done.
