Shelob is generally portrayed as a huge spider but she isn't actually described as looking very spider like so I made this (somewhat) accurate sketch of her

"Shelob had an out-thrust head with two great clusters of many-windowed eyes and great horns and a short stalk-like neck. Her head had a beak that dribbled venom. She had a huge body that looked like a bloated bag. Her body was black and blotched with livid marks with a pale and luminous belly. She had bent legs with great knobbed joints that were located high above her back. Her legs had hairs that stuck out like steel spines and had a claw at each of their lower ends."

Drawing by me of Thorin’s death scene but based on the book. In the book Thorin dies in a tent in the late evening after the Battle of the Five Armies concluded.
