Description WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY!


Wow! Here comes a new challenge!!!
I’m not sure how long I spent for this artwork. I’m only able to remember it took me a dead long time~~! It is a new challenge for me, coz the figure of Spider-Man actually I drew by referring a figure from its comic [link] , and then change the comic style into realism style. It’s really a tough work ‘coz comic style has exaggerated some of the body parts, especially the muscles. So I have to refer to an anatomy tool book and change the exaggerated parts into the “right way”. And some lighting has to change also as the form of web-lines on his costume is totally different between the comic version and realism version.


Background: Statue of Liberty
Thanks to for his precious guide to design the background.
Spiderman jump from Statue of Liberty, I think it is a new concept for Spiderman! I got this brainstorm when I was looking for the scenery photo of New York City. And then I just able to recall that Statue of Liberty is in New York! ( Hmm…I’m wondering why Statue of Liberty never appeared in both the series of “Spider-Man” movie. )

Hope you like it!


Ps:
- There is another computer edited version [link]
- You may see my first sketch for this artwork, did by using Adobe Photoshop CS. It really looks different with the final artwork! [link]

I commented lengthily on the computer altered piece, so read that one for a critique. This one, I'm just gonna sit and drool over for a little while.

Thanks. Yep, the costume is the hardest part to draw, as i had to draw square by square. I'm not sure how long the overall drawing took me - it's just a damn long time, haha!

Silentwolfdog [2006-12-03 02:09:31 +0000 UTC]

I love that artwork. But I think the reason why Spider-Man does not swing around SoL is because there's no other building nearby.

I never visit New York but isn't SoL surround by water?

catchmeasifa11 [2006-07-20 08:28:26 +0000 UTC]

interesting question..i wonder why there wasn't a scene of spiderman jumping from the statue of liberty. it almost seems as if there was one just because he jumps off of anything that's super high.

i seriously can't find any mistakes in this drawing, it's absolutely perfect! spiderman rocks.

yctham In reply to catchmeasifa11 [2006-07-24 12:26:06 +0000 UTC]

Nice point! Spiderman isn't just a spider, but a monkey - a naughty monkey which likes climb up here and jump down there. But I still think the scene will be super cool if the camera able to catch Spidey jumps down from Statue of Liberty at this angle; at least cooler than he jumps down from the roof top of UC Davis.

Hehe.. yea, this is the pencil work I love the most currently. Thanks for love it too!

Fantastic pencil work, man. the anatomy is in a great condition, Spider-Man is like one of the hardest character to draw because of his costume and you managed to finish off! Big thumbs up for this, this deserves more than just praises!

yctham In reply to JenniferTehArt [2006-07-05 08:40:50 +0000 UTC]

Haha! Thanks!
Yea, the costume really got on my nerve! The weblines will change their direction when going from a muscle to the another muscle, walaoA~ thus when i was drawing it, i had to keep on visualize the form of the muscle, then only started rendering the weblines on the muscle, crazy lolz... When shading the costume, it was the worst; I had to shade square and square.
'Coz when i was drawing the sketch, i refered to an anatomy tool book. The book is my first art tool book i bought from bookstore; It's my best 'assistant' ever when i need to draw human, haha! But sadly, I still can't remember and understand much of it even though I've read it for years. Maybe it needs time to let it get accross into my brain (*finding excuse*)
