Description

This is a present for a friend who has a son who loves Spider-Man. I usually incorporate fantasy themes in my work, so this is stepping into a new genre for me. I'm used to conveying emotion through the face, and that wasn't an option here, so I studied the source image to really get the body language right.

This is an entry for DamaiMikaz's Comfort-break challenge.

Howdy! I'm from ProjectComment's Weekly Commenting Project :) also, it seems my "m" key is having difficulty so if you see a word missing one that's why


First off, congrats on going outside your comfort zone! That can be quite terrifying (hence why I tend to stay in mine), and I think you pulled it off nicely :) Since you mentioned in a response below you went off the 90's cartoon Spider-man, I thought I'd take a nosey to make a comparison with that. The overall composition in comparison feels nice, the similarly colored lines creates a good effect in resembling that style :) I think the colors are good, and the tinted highlights show a good knowledge of how to create the differences in lighting.

Just a couple things related to the styling and anatomy that I'd like to point out :) arms are incredibly tricky, especially when dealing with a different style. Overall, that spiderman seemed to be a bit more muscular then he appears in this, perhaps using more rounded lines on the upper arms would help allude to the bigger musculature. On a similar note, the muscular groupings on the viewer's left arm feel just a little bit off. I can see you're trying to show that biceps and triceps grouping, but from this angle, I think the outer piece of that arm could use a bit more shadow to show the clear difference :) Or.. wait, but the style... I don't know, just, you might want to take another look at how they did the arms. The shoulder blade, though, I think needs a more definite, darker shadow at the base to show that it's the shoulder blade sticking up and not something going on with the top of his shoulder. The red is I think almost exactly the same color as his outfit in the show, but I think the blue might be a smidge too bright. Lastly, I think the chin is a little blockier in the show, but that might just have been the angle

Overall, great job! Keep up the great work and have fun :)
