Making the perfect Spidey suit

[spiderman5]

That looks great man, you wear it well. I love those pics in natural sunlight. Brings out the best. Thanks for the comments guys. These lenses have the wrong color frames and they arnt accurate, they have the wrong screen, and its just plastic ontop. Thats why they're temps. The final ones will look alot like the ones from the DVD and they will have a real lense, not just plastic.

[spiderfan_ENT]

HEY...orlando..i was wondering if the suit felt on..and why it looks a lil loose arround the neck arms..:S jw..and some of the wrinkling arround the feet..and how r they boots and there support?

[SpidEMC]

The suit is awesome Nayef, also Bryan has more room for muscle growth.:spidey:

You two work very well together.

Can't wait to see you at MegaCon Bry,

[Orlando Spider]

i have some very easy explanations for you my friend

but to answer your first question... it feels GREAT. Light, breathable, stretchy (of course) and it doesn't limit movement.

As far as the neck, that issue will be resolved once we get that face shell into the mask (as the suit was designed for)

the reason that the arms are loose is because tobey had bigger arms than me as WELL as a muscle suit underneath that layer of cloth. This suit is one in the same as the movie suit so it's designed to house both. If my arms get big enough to fill it out that means i'll be as big as tobey was including muscle suit underneath. What luck is on my side... is that i am the same height as tobey.

The soles are light and flexible, feel good on the feet, provide an excellent shape for the 'boot', and have traction *of course*

as far as the wrinkling on the lower leg goes, again... altercation of not being as big as the 'sub' suit (muscle suit)
If work my thighs and calves bigger that should solve all issues.

Concerning all this... the thing to remember is that this IS a [i]replica suit.
thus it will be as big in all the areas as the movie suit. It's one in the same. If you aren't tobey's build, or have a muscle suit, it'll be off (as that is what the suit was made for) UNLESS of course you alter it yourselves to fit.

[Forrest S]

Here are some pics of the mask and lenses i created, the frames were purchased, but how i made the lenses is explained further up on this page.

i know the webbing isnt great, its explained on my earlier post.

[Kuriatey08]

looks good forrest, hows visibility?

[Forrest S]

the visibility is suberb, the only thing, and this is a problem for all lenses, is fogging, other than that, it just brightens things up, but everythings stays visible and clear. when mesh is that close to your eyes, you see right through it. and the plastic is just clear plastic, the cloror comes form the aluminum mesh.

[Orlando Spider]

Hey Forrest, those are some nice lenses... its a pretty good start. the mask itself also looks pretty clean. You said you used the movie pattern? Good job with that. UP next it's a web upgrade and you'll be all set ;) keep up the good work

[StarvingArtist]

Stumbled onto this thread, and had to post a pic of me in my own Spidey mask :)

http://willdrawforfood.com/Spider-Joe.jpg

Decided to go the un-raised webbing and shaded bug-eye lenses route.

[spidey4fun]

I like it!!!!!! Might be the next suit I make. Ultimate Spideman.

[mrnakashima]

Awesome suit Orlando!!

[tspider]

Hey all, fantastic work,
I was wondering if there is anybody out there who can make a classic appearance spidey costume (nicholas hammond style, the ones that were around in 1977), I saw one for sale on Ebay a few moths ago and that went for 600 bucks. I missed that one and also lost the info on who the guy was who was selling it. If anyone knows who he is could they send me an email or if anyone knows anyone who can replicate this type of costume I would very much appreciate any info.
tmackint@bigpond.net.au

[Schuurkes]

Spiderham has one I believe. You should check out his site.

[SpiderAdam]

Wow Orlando that suit is awesome Nayef did a fantastic job.

[tspider]

Hey, thanks Schuurkes, I checked it out and it's awesome, but not the one I want, the one I'm after is just like the 77 nic hammond style and yes I'm a fussy pain in the a.. (so the missus tells me), and have to have that exact one, but thanks for the info.

[Max Jenius]

Orlando, I think you look more like Spiderman than that Tobey guy, with or without the mask. If you can, would love to see some action poses. You must be on cloud 9 after getting a suit like that, I know I would be! Don't stop working on your own suit though!

Spiderman5, please let me know when you are ready to take on a suit for me. After posting those pictures, you mailbox must be full!

[twopinacoladas]

Orlando that looks awesome, I cant wait to see some more pics out side in the city should be very cool great stuff :spidey: :up:

[spiderman5]

Thanks guys I appreciate it. Max you can just email me at superman5080@hotmail.com and ill get back to you with details.

[inkmonkey]

Bryan, we're waiting for new :spidey: pics....
:)

[Orlando Spider]

Hehe, sorry guys. My Camera man got sick before we were going to go out so that plan flopped unfortunately.... hopefully it will happen soon. Just keep your fingers crossed, life is busy! ;)

First of all, your mask is the bomb! I read somewhere, where the RainX product sold to keep auto windows from fogging up may do the trick. It's the one that comes in the yellow bottle. Anybody had experience with this?

[SpiderAdam]

Forrest S,

Do you know the company or brand that makes the cooking guard with that mesh? Those lenses look fantastic.

[superpower]

Orlando,

You lucky dog you.....OMG is that sweet. Hey man I'm going to be in the Orlando area from Jan 26-29....Any chance of us hooking up so I can see that bad boy???

[spiderfan_ENT]

HEY SUPERPOWER..i hope u get a chance to go down there to..to see the suit..do u think you will be on msn tonite:) we can talk more about mysterio..ect

[superpower]

I'll do my best around 8:00 ENT.....I really hope I can check it out too...

Please Orlando...Please please please please...ect.......

[Forrest S]

SpiderAdam, i just looked and i must have gotten rid of the label that goes over the handle of the splatter guard, but if you live anywhere near a K-mart, they should carry the right one. DONT get the Martha stewart one, its too silver, plus its alot more expensive. get the generic brand from K-mart, it should be made from aluminum mesh, and be shaped like big circle with a handle, and the color is a greyish-white. from the kictchen utensils isle. Thanks for all the compliments guys.

[Schuurkes]

Does anyone how the back spider is constructed? This one from brad is the right shape, ok. But how much should it be raised? Same as the webbing? And should the sides of it be black or also red?

http://users.ncable.net.au/~mcdowall/s1.jpg

[spiderfan_ENT]

Hey everyone..Greats mask's Forrest & Starving:) Im not to shure about the exact thickness im guessing half a cm..0.5 cm correct me if im wrong every1:) but i have a question since alot of us are either costume makers or designers and comic lovers. I have just finished the script for my film Spider-Man (The Final Act). I am soo to be starting storyboards soon. The story involves of Dare Devil, Mysterio, King Pin, Dock Ocks Tentacles, And a pumpkin bomb. I know this all sounds random. Spiderman 5 is making my spidey suit, and superpower is making my stunt suit. If any1 has any info on hwo to make..or geta dare devil suit, and baton , pumpkin bombs, replica ock arms..movie..or comic...? If you have any info and are able to help please IM me..or emaill me at schwenk_zygote_pills@hotmail.com thanx guys & girls:)

[Orlando Spider]

For both of you, mainly you ENT. Contact Ludakris

I'll see if i can find a link... but at least you have a name now.

Schuurkes, its beveled like the webing and has black sides. I used the real pattern for mine and the correct measurements as well. So those pics should help u out. Ill have it posted in a day or 2. its drying in the mold.

[spidey4fun]

Here's some nice looking front and back spiders!!!!

http://users.ncable.net.au/~mcdowall/Front&back.JPG


:)

[urbandc_spidey]

Very nice, what technique did you use to make them?

[brado]

Hi guys. While I've been reading these boards for months, this is my first time posting. I'm in the process of (trying) to make my first Spidey suit and the biggest snag I've run into is the eyeframes. I'm not interested in buying any because 1) the only thing I see available are movie style (which I'm not aiming for) and 2) I'd REALLY like to do everything myself (point of pride). Currently I'm using 6mm PVC to carve and sand the frames to shape, then priming and wet sanding smooth. The rigid mold materials I've tried at this point which include UltraCal 30 and Super Sculpey (boiled to hardness) seem to want to chip around the edges when I try and release the positive. I'm making a 1 piece mold and using a release agent. The Flexible mold materials I've tried at this point which include mask quality latex and alginate seem to want to shrink and curl. I would like to have the frames flexible, so my intent was to use several built up layers of latex to fill in the molds (maybe that's not the best idea). There's obviously a ton of talent and thousands, if not tens of thousands, of hours of work represented on this board, so I'm hoping someone can help me out. Specifically, my questions are:

What have you found to be the best molding material, and why? (I will also be using this material to mold my spider(s))

What have you found to be the best casting material, and why? (I'm hoping for something flexible, but who knows)

For those of you using urethane resin(?) frames: Are they flexible at all? If not, did you cast them flat and then heat bend them or did you cast them curved?

Do frames typically have a recess in the back to set the lens? How are you typically attaching the lens to the backside of the frame?

Basically, any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

[Orlando Spider]

Good questions man... and welcome to the board.

Molding and Casting is something I still have to learn... but there should be a few guys on the boards that can answer your question.

[superpower]

Welcome Brado,

Well here is how I do it.

For sculpting I use an oil based clay. This will peel and clean out of the mold easily.

For molding, it depends on what your going to cast. For latex castings you can use ultra cal like you're doing.

For casting I would go with slip cast latex (mask latex). It is much easier to glue than urethane and the price isn't to shabby.

Here is a set of frames I pulled from my mold earlier this week. They still need fine trim work and paint. But frames like these can be done using the materials I listed.

Sorry for the quality it was taken using my camera phone.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c76/Superpower1976/eyes.jpg

[brado]

superpower,

Thanks for the quick response. Is it a safe assumption that you're leaving the clay in it's soft, uncured state when you create the mold? Are you placing it on a piece of glass or equivalent and pouring your UltraCal into a box around it? And finally, how are you building up thickness on your latex (air dry, hair dryer, poured all at once with some kind of drying agent, etc.)? Thanks again!

[superpower]

Yes the clay is soft while molding. With an oil clay they never harden so you can use them for many many sculpts.

Yes again. I usually have my peice on a sheet of plexi glass then build a wall using clay.

For building up the peice. I pour a layer in, let it dry for about six hours, pour again, dry six hours and repeat until the desired demension is achived.

Here's the spider that I pulled for those eyes aswell.

[brado]

Thanks Superpower. Here's a photo of 1 of my PVC positives (about .25" thick with rounded face). I'll give it a shot scupting them out of clay this weekend. If anyone has any other advice I'm open to suggestions. Thanks again!

[Orlando Spider]

wow man, that looks great! very smooth....

[SpiderAdam]

Brado,

If I were to cast those frames, I would make a mold out of silicone. (a firm shore hardness) And cast them in flexible urethane rubber that has been pre-tinted black. You can get everything you need from www.smoothon.com They have product descriptions on tutorials on molding and casting.

[brado]

SpiderAdam,

Thanks for the input, I'll check them out. Have a great one!

[ngoc]

hey guys im young and i decided to make a alien sympotite suit but have no where to get all the stuff and make it i only know how to sew it on anyone have venom frames and the big white spider it would be nice to get some help on this little project

[AME]

To ngoc-My idea:

Draw the design of the big white spider on a big peace of drawing paper (minimum weight: 120 gram). After you finished the spider, cut it out and paste it on a piece of sail (if that's the right word...). After that, press is in clay. Then remove the spider a pour some liquid rubber into the clay mold (after the clay is dried of course). When the rubber is dry you can paint your spider white and when the paint is dry--You have a fresh raised venom spider for the back of your venom suit.

If you don't want it "that" raised, simply don't press the spider that deep into the clay.

If you don't want it raised at all then you can just cut the spider out of a piece of white stetchy fabric.

**Remember to only paste the raised spider on when the fabric of the suit is streched. Ask somebody to put the suit on... or you could buy a mannequin and put the suit on that. Whatever you do, do not paste the rubber spider on the suit if the fabric isn't streched**

[ngoc]

http://www.spidertim.com/bsuit.html ok thank for the info on how to make the spider ame, but like spiders tim black suit im not making like venom kinda complicated ill be adding a muscle detail and try to find someone who sells the frames and material if anyone could help me with some sites be appreciated.:spidey: :)

[spidey4fun]

Hi All, Im thinking of using the dye-sub process to make a Ben Reilly Spiderman suit. With the same muscle shading and brickwork pattern as my current suit. But....I need some good pics of the Ben Reilly suit. If anyone has any send me an email or a link.

That would be cool to see S4F.

Currently I have a new artist working on the Story Board for the new Trailer we want to do for Knight Seeker in the Spring. I will keep you guys informed.

It's great being able to network with different people on this project. Bryan Rogers aka Orlando Spidey is still my main concept artist, and I love his work.

A quick sample of the new Artist's work we will be fine tuning it. Also Knight Seeker doesn't wear a watch, still looks cool though. The artist's name is Ian Ranney from Kansas City

awesome, stick with that artist, because even the rough draft is lookin sweet. I cant wait until the finished product comes out

[The Man Of 16]

I think Ive searched every single website on the internet looking for how to have stretchy paint, lol. My paint keeps on flaking so I think it's about time I asked the professionals on this one. So guys, how do I make stretchy paint? (Where can I find the supplies? Or where can I buy the stretchy paint?)

What material are you painting? Latex?

[ngoc]

Guys i need help what should the big white spider front and back be made of since its huge? and help with some people who sell frames and the good stretchable material for the suit :)

[The Man Of 16]

What material are you painting? Latex?

Yup, Im using liquid latex. But I'm thinking of changing to foam latex. It all depends. But if you have advice regarding a specific kind of latex or urethane, please go ahead and explain. It may persuade my decision of switching.

[superpower]

Well for latex all you need to do is get some water based acrylic paint and mix it into your latex. Run that mix through an airbrush to paint your peices.

[The Man Of 16]

is it possible to get silver acrylic water based paint? and when mixed with liquid latex, will it even stretch or will it crack? What are the ups and downs of this.

Also, thanks for your help.

[superpower]

Yes you can get it in silver. No, it wont crack, it will stretch perfectly with the latex. There are absolutly no downs with this, it mixes perfect. The ups? Well it's everything you want in coloring latex peices.

[The Man Of 16]

Awesome, couldnt have done this without you. I appreciate it.

[SpidEMC]

Eric that looks really good. I cant wait to see some with Seeker in action. Sorry for the late reply about the back spider guys. Here are some pics. Also here are some pics that were requested from me to show the stretch of the latex and smoothness of my molds. This is an older peice with the wrong paint color, but it gives the idea.

German, well first of all I'm sorry to hear about your licence and job. I hope everything will work out for you.

Secondly, I'm sorry about your suit. Did you use a water based acrylic paint?

I have never had that happen and I've made quite a few suits.

[SpidEMC]

Spiderman5: thanks for the compliment, and your spider and webs are on the money!!

Schuurkes: Thank you also, very much appreciated, also I am glad your still reading the Knight Seeker Novel, I have been having some great feedback about it.

I'm a little confused.. Should the top of the web be silver or gunmetal????

[Kuriatey08]

more toward silver but a lttle gun -metal, i think...

[spiderman5]

Hey man, its actually supposed to be a metalic graphit color. If you read my post, I mention thats the old paint I used. Thats the only peice ive ever painted with that paint. Everything else youve seen from me is the correct color. Thats just an old peice I had lying around to show the stretch of latex.

[Spiderblonde]

Hey all. I live in england, and am interested in purchasing either a venom style suit, or the symbiote spidey one.

[Spiderblonde]

by the way spiderman 5, do you reckon you could send a load of that stretchy web stuffymathing, i would pay.

[ngoc]

hey spiderblonde welcome im about to start on a alien suit of my own when im finshed ill let you know

[spiderman5]

spiderblond email me at superman5080@hotmail.com and ill give you some info on them.

[Spiderblonde]

cool, by the way, ive emailed you. sman5

[The Man Of 16]

What would happen if i were to add latex paint into the liquid latex?

[Kuriatey08]

youd have less strechy latex when it dried, It would depend on how much paint you add to it

does anyone know ludakris address zip code city plz email me or put on board :)

[Spiderblonde]

I know nothinG¬

[Orlando Spider]

that's something i'd ask ludakris himself for dude

although i can tell you he's australian?

Putting up personal info like that on a forum is a no-no

What do you need it for anyway?

[ngoc]

im buying some stuff i just need his 5 digit zip code only i have the rest

[AME]

I agree with Orlando Spider...

[Orlando Spider]

If you're buying stuff from him he should've given you his address anyway, although i couldn't see why if he was sending them only to you.

Also, if you're buying stuff from him, you should have his contact information. In which case... just ask him?

[ngoc]

your right just wanted to know so i can ship the stuff out he kinda took a while to reply replyed today thx so no mistake for me next time

Same here dude. And you know we are going to be in Orlando ripping up the town in suit during MegaCon :spidey: :bomb:

[SpiderAdam]

I need some advice. I have bought the pattern on disk. I have an appointment to meet with someone in my area who does dye sublimation. I need to supply my own spandex material for the sublimation process. Is there a certain blend I should look for that works best in the dye process? Should the material be matt or shiney? I know there are many online sources that sell lycra or spandex. Does anyone have a recomendation based on their own purchase experiance?

Thanks,

-Adam

[Orlando Spider]

I believe the one my suit is made with is a nylon/lycra blend. go for matte

I'll find out... when's your appointment?

[SpiderAdam]

My appointment is Thursday. This is just an innitial meeting so the printer can see the pattern and give me a quote. I won't have my material by then but I want to tell them what blend I want to use and make sure there are no problems. I hope to order the material at the end of this week or the beginning of next week.

Thanks,

-Adam

[Orlando Spider]

yeah, be careful. Which pattern did you get? there's a really good chance you'll have to modify it a bit to make it ready to print depending on who's you got.

You'll also (if it goes through), want to do several SMALL test prints of the pattern to make sure the colors come out the way you want them...adjusting the color levels on the machine as you go to achieve what you want.

also keep in mind that different kinds of fabric accept the colors differently. Red on lycra (if the same colors are used) could come out purplish on milliskin.
Adjust as needed :) I'll find out tonight what fabric mine was made with.

Look at the head piece. If it has brick pattern on it, enough, it's probably ok and you can let it print. Else you'll have to modify it with photoshop first.
The spandex should stand 200 degree celsius, so very important is that there is no nylon in it. Ask the seller of the fabric if it can stand the temperature. Best to find a printer that has its own fabric.

I'm having a lot of problems with my own suit, nothing I can't help though, but my post will be a bit delayed. Few more weeks!

[mark]

orlando those pics look awesome. who made the suit?

[ngoc]

it was superman 5 he did a great job nice photos orlando cant wait to see those city pictures

[SpiderAdam]

I got my pattern from orisisflower off of ebay. The colors look good in photoshop and there is a brick pattern on the mask but not as dark or other parts of the suit which as far as I can tell is similar to screen shots of the movie suit. If I need to do some photoshop work on it. Its not a problem. I was going to take different sections of the suit and print tests to make sure I like he colors.
Initially I was planning on ordering white matt miliskin 4 way stretch spandex from stretchouse.com, but it looks like it is mostly nylon (80% nylon, 20% spandex). I am having toruble finding spandex material that does not have nylon in it.

Thanks for the advise everyone.

The US PostOffice has a web site to calculate International postage. Check out: http://ircalc.usps.gov/

Just fill in the fields with the specific on your package. If you do not know, just take a guess.

Correction, my suit was printed with a Lycra/Cotton blend

Thanks that is good information. I've heard that cotton blended lycra doesn't hold its shape as well as regular spandex. Does anyone know if this is true? Then again If you don't wash the suit and only dry clean it, I wouldn't think it would matter? I talk to my possible printer tomorrow and I'll see what he suggests I use. Thanks again Orlando Spider. I hope my suit looks half as good as yours.

[spiderfan_ENT]

HEY EVERY 1:)..excited to see those pics Orlando:), for some reason the suit looks brownish, it must be the light..or camera..cause ive seen nayefs pics.but. w.e:P lol do u think u could take some close detailed pics 2 some time..of the soles ect:) thanx ..o yah guys people who are trying to make a Doc Ock suit..heres an o.k one with a good budget..

Hi Orlando.... awesome suit. What is your height if you don't mind me asking?

[mark]

does anybody know where ollie is. i want to know the progress on my suit.

Hey Zinje, no problem..... welcome to the boards :)

I'm 5'7,... about 145 lbs. (last time I checked anyway)

[Zinje]

Hey Zinje, no problem..... welcome to the boards :)

I'm 5'7,... about 145 lbs. (last time I checked anyway)

I would probably look like a tubby spidey guy wearing a suit like that. I am 5'8 165 lbs. I was asking because i'm getting a suit made.

[The Man Of 16]

Man, you guys are short. I'm 6'1" and weigh 180, skinny too.

[spiderfan_ENT]

Haha, yah shorties, not even spidey hight, but same with me im toooo big to be spidey( i still wear my suit) im 6'4- 6'6 and skinny like 190:S

[Zinje]

What was Tobey Maguire's height and weight in the movie anyways?

[Orlando Spider]

Tobey i believe is 5'7 or 5'8 and probably weighed around 150, of course, he looked heaver in the suit because he also wore a thin muscle suit underneath to bring out the muscle definition.

BTW, the forums' alittle slow right now, what's everybody been up to?

I've been stuck at home alot unfortunately with a car accident that occurred last month (FINALLY getting my car back this week), also had an incident with a car break in (my friends car + both our stuff)... alot has been piling up. Some good news though, i'm just about finished with ANOTHER of my projects.

What prograhm do you use to make these?

I use Photoshop and a CAD program called Rhino. The suit designs I make in photoshop using the same technique I developed for the Spidey4fun suit and the webbing and logo I use the CAD program. Then combine the two in Photoshop to finish.

And I've had a quick go at the Venom ....

I am currently working on my pattern getting it ready for dye sublimation. I was thinking I might need to make the patterns slightly larger since I am 6 ft. tall. I am skinny only weighing about 160 lbs. Have any of the taller guys run into the problem the the spidey costumes beign to short or will the spandex stretch enough to fit me? Also on my pattern there are two little red strips with the brick pattern. I'm not sure what these are,I can't figure out where they go when putting together the suit.

Hi Guys

Firstly, I have to say I am completely blown away by the quality of the suits being made here. There are so many genuises / artists among you its a bit daunting for the mere mortals like myself! A life long spidey fan, since my dad brought me some epsiodes of the original series on VHS to cheer me up after an operation, its been with me ever since.

I would love to have the skills any know how to make a suit for myself. Especially one like those made by Ollie and Nayef (OVDH and Spiderman5?). True class gentleman.

One thing that I was wondering. Has anyone put together a list of links where one can go to buy spandex, urethane etc etc? A getting started list for the novice like me? I have a long way to go, but I really wany to own a good suit!

Irish Spidey.

Nonetheless, it's still an Amaaaaaazing suit, and i'm not done yet. It'll be 100 % again soon :)

Orlando Spider, I have just been reading back and looking through your amazing pictures of various costumes, what can I say - outstanding work!

Do you have your own personal site with pictures of the costume, I would be very interested to see your expert techniques.

Wow Ollie your red color is so bright. I am about to get my pattern dye sublimated. I hope it turns out as bright as yours. Speaking of getting a print, does anyone know if $0.89 per square foot plus set up fee is a decent price for Dye sublimation. So far it is my lowest quote.

-Adam

[Schuurkes]

Awesome Ollie! I am working on my carnaval outfit too! It'll be a full suit with crotch zipper and separate mask.

I finally finished my first suit!! It really took me way longer than I expected, but I wanted to be fully satisfied. Here are a few pictures, which are all made in full daylight. Even though I like the pictures, I think the real thing looks a lot better. I'll put on the suit myself (this is a mannequin) this weekend and try to make better pictures. Anyways... Enjoy!

Hey everybody! Long time gone, but I'm back and up and working on costumes again. I'm looking for an old friend from this board from a few years back that helped me by supplying me with some buckles for a Superman belt. I think his name was "Sam" but now I'm just not sure. He worked with CAD and was able to produce props and prop pieces using a machine that cut them out. If this sounds like you...LOL PLEASE get into contact with me. I've got a new project that I want to try.

Thanks everyone,

Schuurkes,

I also think that the lenses look great.

I like the spiders on the front and the back. I noticed that the one on the back was missing in one of the photos.

I'm looking forward to some action poses of you in the suit.

Garry

[manyplentyMr]

http://server3.uploadit.org/files/Schuurkes-spidy8.JPG

Hey your Shcuukes your pattern looks really nice. Is that one of the originals with the missing bricks. I can't tell. The red looks nice on it. So do the lenses.

Hey guys i'm not that new. I have been following thread for some time now getting hints. Everyones doing a grand job! speaking on the lenses would anyone be up for a trade for these type of lenses?

[Kuriatey08]

hey shuurkes, did you use tulip paint for you webs, or what? they look really good, especially if you did use tulip.

[urbandc_spidey]

Hey Schuurkes,

The suit came out great. Were you able to use the back spiders? Your photo skills are on point too. I thought that was you, not a mannequin.

[General_Grievous]

Schuurkes, that suit looks amazing, I particularly like the webbing, it looks so clean and vibrant, it almost shines off the fabric.

You would probably know this, but was there a difference in the lenses used in Spidey 1 and 2? In 1 it was established by Acheson that they were Oakley-type lenses, but I'm sure modifications were made for the sequel.

In close-ups of the mask in Spider-Man 2, the lenses look much whiter and less reflective.

[Schuurkes]

Hey,
What I used for the lenses I explained months ago several times. Still, it’ll be hard to copy them, because you’ll have to find exactly the same material. The lenses are not dependent on the light that shines on it. They have a white appearance anyway you look at it.

I attached the back spider only a few days ago. It was the only thing still necessary and most of the pictures were made when it wasn’t on it yet.

My pattern is not the original one. Obviously I used the tkcomics pattern, because that’s all we have, but I completely redrew it. Only this took me 100’s of hours, but it was necessary to achieve what I wanted. I found the tkcomics pattern way too dark and completely unusable. You can see that I changed the pattern especially on the upper arms. If you want clear brick pattern on the tkcomics pattern, you’ll have to darken it that much, that the arms aren’t red any more but appear black. It’s the same at the belly.

The webs are tulip, right. If you take all your time to apply it and don’t rush yourself it can be applied really clean.

Thanks for all the compliments!!
Yuri

[SpidEMC]

Hey Yuri, you did a fantastic job. I can't wait to see you in the suit and taking pics. Its the ultimate thrill ride :spidey:

[spiderman5]

Suit looks good Schuurkes, make sure to post pics of the spiders you recieved from me.

[Schuurkes]

It seemed that I had to put the white balance of the camera on daylight, when making daylight pictures. These give a much better view of the real colors.

Hey, I need some help so I can post in better quality. How do I make pictures smaller in size and bytes, without losing too much quality? What I do now is just scale it 50% in paint, but this really takes a lot of pixels. If anyone can tell me how, please PM me!

This is the same suit, colors look different now.

http://server2.uploadit.org/files/Schuurkes-post2.JPG

This is the mask of the suit I'm working on for carnaval. I'll have to speed it up because I only got a few days left. I painted the eyelenses, so they aren't black any more, but very dark gray.

How much?

I love your pics and your suit of course :eek:

[SpidEMC]

Is he off his webbed rocker :)

good luck, and I hope you get a ton of money for it :spidey:

[General_Grievous]

I'd love to buy one of those babys! I too hope you get all the moolah you deserve for such a fantastic suit.

Here's a low tech yet simple way to restrict photo size but manage to keep the quality, simply copy the normal photo into Word or another DTP program and then size it down using Word's tools - drag in the corners to make it smaller.

Then when its the size you want, press PrintScreen (PrtScrn key) and copy this into Paint.

The image will be a screen shot of the entire desktop, but then you just edit this so it leaves only the picture.

Hope it helps.

[Schuurkes]

Hey,
I really couldn't say what I want for the suit. Any price I ask won't be enough to earn back the costs I made for it. I think the only option is just to put it on ebay and sell it to the highest bidder.
For those who asked, your length should be between 5 feet 8 inch and 6 feet 2 inch and shoe size must be between 10-12 to fit. Your waist should be 'normal' sized.

[superpower]

ENT, Hey man. I'm finally back from limbo. Sorry, my wife was in real bad shape for the last few weeks after loosing her Grandparents. I'll be logged into MSN and watching for you.

EMC, Again, I'm finally back around and am still very interested in helping you out on that suit. I'll be looking for you also.

Schuurkes, Wow. That suit looks amazing. I can't beleive you have the hand to do webbing with puffy paint like that. My hats off to you man. The colors on your suit are also eye popping. You better set that reserve up pretty high my friend. As for you eyes, well, spot on aswell. I'm going to have to go fishing through the pages to find your tutoral. If I remember correctly you said they were tint, shinethrough, then platic rite???

Superpower

P.S. That shot of you crawling like you are on a building is one of the coolest pics I have ever seen.

[superpower]

I SWEAR this is the last OT post i'll ever make on here!!! I'm just too excited about having finished this though! :) :) :)

Orlando, That suit rocks. I really like the way your boots turned out.

Sorry we didn't get a chance to hook up while I was down in Florida I was really looking forward to seeing that Spiderman5 suit up close.

[superpower]

I thought I'd try make some other suits. Ben Reilly, Flash and others. But I wanted to create a muscle print I can turn in ANYTHING. So here's a start. A blue suit with brick pattern. A starting point for the Reilly suit. I'll make a plain blue one next.

Hey no problem man, I would've liked that, but between business at work and not having a car (i had a minor accident with major repairs) i just never got the chance :(

Also, Schuurkes, Your suit looks great man! An excellent job well done :) I agree 100% about the TULIP paints... they can look GREAT with a steady hand and careful plotting and time spent. It looks good... i bet it'll be very durable for a loong time. good 'crawling' stance as well, btw.

BTW, guys... today i had the most amazing time with my suit! I did a birthday party for a young boy who was just turning 3 :) I'm gonna be posting up some choice pics in a a little bit. Admittedly they're kind of cruddy, but that's because the mother didn't know how to use the camera.

They'll be sending me the ones that they took though, so it should turn out better.

[Orlando Spider]

Alright guys! I'm back home for the day, (it's been a long one)
after issues with e-mail this morning and getting out at a more rushed pace than comfortable, getting the the party, breezing through it, getting home, going to work, and then settling in for the night finally at 12 a'clock... i'm BEAT!!
Nonetheless, I'm 100% confident that the party was a success on my end I got there ran up, had pictures taken, then proceeded to go around the park with the 3 yr. old birthday boy. I pushed him on the swing, went down the slides with him, displayed my acrobatic semi prowess (haha, right) mingled with the kids and told stories, and then finally sang happy birthday and stayed for cake (which i couldn't eat .... darn attached masks) and then made my depart (much to the birthday boy's dissapointment,.... to which he began to cry) Until i assured him that he'd see me again one day (very possible if i ever did a friend's of their's party) and whished him congratulations on 3 successful cool years of life, he was content and ran off to play with the other kids.
I had a blast, and i'm pretty sure everyone else did too . Now i did bring my camera for some pictures, however it's kind of a tricky camera and i don't think the mom quite had figured out that the focus was manually done... so some of them are quite blurry.... but here are the good shots for now
Hopefully they'll send me better ones that they took of their camera. If you want to see all the pics i have so far go here..

( I also included a story about the creation of venom and the origin of spiderman's 'black' suit)... which they liked
(BTW, if i left out any additional info... this is a generic message i've been leaving on all the boards, i'll answer all the questions i can!)

whooo inally some outdoor pictures i bet you those kids are happy

[ngoc]

your photo bucket album link isnt working but all i need to see is that one posing of shooting out webs

[Orlando Spider]

Link should work now
:up:

[AME]

Those are nice pics!
But I was wondering... where are the zippers??
cuz I'm making a suit of my own.

[Schuurkes]

The zippers go where they normally go, from the arm pit down the sides and below the belt.

[AME]

hey thanks
I really didn't know anything about the zippers. just that they were there.
Do you know where I can find a tutorial on how to add the zippers to my suit?
Because mines is "very" strechy so I made is "very" small (just enough to fit me fit comfort). So when I add my rubber webbing, it would look like the original one ^^
But anyway, do you know to how to add zippers to a untreched suit? otherwise I'll just have to move on to plan B...

[Schuurkes]

Hey AME, make sure the fabric is stretched when sewing on the zipper. You can do this by pulling on the point, where you end the seaming. :S I don't understand my own explanation. Just make sure the fabric is stretched, by pulling on it while sewing. Good luck!

Hey Schuurkes. Just curious. What type of material did you dye-sub onto?

www.spidey4fun.ncable.net.au

[Schuurkes]

I really couldn't say. The man who owns the printer I work with has a supplier who completely understood the fabric I needed for this and just sent me what I needed.
The fabric is normally used for this he told me:

I'm not trying to bring you down or anything but my suit is also being made with a small budget. And it still looks pretty accurate. i guess it all comes down on how you're spending you're money and how creative you are. To back myself up I'll post some pictures of my suit in the near future.

[Kuriatey08]

hey inkmonkey, your eyes look pretty good

[Kuriatey08]

my first costume i made basically sucked, so yeah, you just gotta make a few, trial and error to see what works out ther best

[inkmonkey]

Oh yeah, I'm learning lots. I know full well it leaves a lot to be desired. My goal was to make it with the lowest cost possible. Kind of a challenge to myself. I could easily spend a little or lot more and it would be more accurate. But my goal here was lowest cost and movie-style (but not too accurate).

Always love to see pics, AME.

YOU COULD CRAP IN YOUR HAND, AND IT WOULD BE "LOW COST".........IN FACT, IT WOULDN'T COST YOU A DIME. BUT, WOULD YOU WANT TO WEAR IT OUT IN PUBLIC? :confused: :O

Sure...why not? The general public does not care. And how many Spidey-suit snobs from SHH am I really going to run into? ;)

I didn't really post this to be cut down. But that's what this board and thread has really become. I can now understand why some suit makers left and don't post here anymore.

Kuriatey, thanks for your kind words and encouragement. Wish there were more of you on the board and fewer TWITs.

[Schuurkes]

stop this, plz no replies..

[spiderman5]

Hey guys here is an update. This is my most recent print. Its on great fabric. This fabric really brought out the colors the way it should. It is very saturated and looks great under flash. The last fabric didnt look good under flash. Im also working on my new webs. The urethane is fused with the paint so it will never come off, no matter what. Here are pics of the print. I took pics under different lighting to give you an idea. The ones with no flash and no lights, just sunlight, are alittle dark because its getting dark here, but tomorrow ill take some under sunlight. They always look better under natural light.

These are pics with the lights on and the flash on:

Can somebody PLEASE post or send me some pics of the printed suit patterns like above? It's not that I'm lookign for a free one for an actual costume but I just need some good JPEG's of the suit pattern to map my 3D Spider-Man suit with it. It's for my movie. The current mapping is to blurry so you wouldn't see the brick patter on it. The pictures don't need to be big because I ain't using it for an actual suit, just for my 3D Spider-Man model. Check this website for further info: www.freewebs.com/amv-ve/

[Orlando Spider]

Nayef!!!DUDE! Looks great!! :) :) :)

InkMonkey, i hope you don't that we're all twits on here.

I think it's an admiral thing you're doing there.... most people don't have the money to buy these nice suits. Good to see someone experimenting with what's available (although i'd just buy materials for and make my own suit)
Good job. Looking foreward to see it when it's done.

[spiderman5]

Thanks bro. Thought you would like that.
