Making the perfect Spidey suit

[SpidermanC]

well if were going to be able to help her find the perfect suit :)
we need to know what were lookin for!

[SlyGuyTtjn]

I'll let it slide. She's nice, and I'm sure she can handle it..

Anyways, I kinda would like to see what Camias would look like in a symbiote suit.

Camias- Are you going to alter the chest a little? (Not hitting on you.. lol) But it'd be cool if you did, like change the symbol a little or something.

[Nfox]

Camias, so long as you aren't too, ummm, top heavy, I'm sure the standard pattern could be modified to fit your figure relative easily. The waist would have to be pulled in a bit, but that can be done after it's printed, based on how you sew it.

Personally, I would love to see a more feminine costume though. Any ideas what you would change on the normal costume to make it more you?

Nick Fox

[SpidermanC]

i wanna see a venom with boobies :)

[Nfox]

Here, since it seems like there are some really desperate guys here, who want to see Spider-Man with breasts, I took the liberty of whipping this up quickly:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v419/FoxyMcFox/Picture1-1.png

Now that you've seen that, I hope you'll leave poor Camias alone.

In all seriousness, Camias, what is your body type? That will go a long way towards determining what you should be going for.

Nick Fox

[SpidermanC]

now wait just a damn minute.
how am i desperate for asking the same thing you are!
im not the one giving spidey boobs in photoshop lol

[Nfox]

I never said whether I was counting myself amongst the "desperate" group...and I may have said the same thing, but I said it in a more tactful manner (So long as you ignore the picture).

And don't disrespect the fine art of the Spidey-Boob Photoshop, it is an ancient art passed down through the ages.

lol dude, thats the first time i've actually laughed on this forum.

i dunno nick fox, it is kind of hard to imagine a woman inside a spider man costume, especially with a bulge in the.. uh... lower region.....:yay:

[Nfox]

I was going to do away with the bulge...but I thought it looked funnier. I would suggest a semi-custom pattern for any females who don't want to look 3-dimensional in places that they shouldn't.

-Nick

[SpidermanC]

yeah..how bout u take out the bulge. the manly sholders, the beastly legs..

and we got a spidey-woman.

he's got the feminen pose down tough.

[BaldisEmpire]

Check this out. Apparently it's a costume over a statue. What do ya'll think?

Also, everyone, there are at least 3 Jessica Drew costumes on eBay right now, for the madam. They're like $50.

thats the movie statue for spiderman.

its cool if you jsut want it for looks in a room, but you cant wear the costume.
the hands at in that position permanently, and youll break half the webs trying to get it off the manniquin. the modifications to the suit would cost you jsut as much if not more to jsut buy a costume.

Actually that's from Spidey 1

oops :]

[young-nyc]

i do agree knowing the body type would definitely help out on selecting what's best.


well he's a little update i made to the existing picture Nfox did.

BEFORE

AFTER
http://users.erols.com/young.kim/sgirl.jpg

slimmed down the arms, legs and shoulders and gave a little lift on the chest area.

[SpidermanC]

you guys can stop working your way around say boobs, she said it twice, i dont think she minds. :)
on that note, i do believe BOOBS might present a problem for raised webbing.

nice picture young.

[drew8899]

Here are pictures of the blockbuster statue suit that I took off and wore.. the webbing was ok, but the glue to hold them down was very weak, and arm was sewn tot he body right above the elbow... overall it I paid a good price for the statue and seeing kids smile and get all excited whent hey see spiderman made everything worth it.

[SpidermanC]

did the webs stretch at all?

[drew8899]

The webbing barely stretched. and the webing was pretty thick, definitely not as rubbery as rubber urethane. it looks pretty good from a distance but there is a lot to be desired from the suit... considering that it is from a statue though...it is good.

[Kojack]

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the positive feedback on the suit so far! hopin to get the rest of it together, lenses and all by tomorrow.
To answer ur question SlyGuyTtjn, I drew the silver hexagonal pattern with typical metallic markers that you would find in an art shop. They're not even fabric pens, just normal markers though I'm thinkin when ive finished everything I'm gonna spray the entire suit with a fabric protector to make sure it doesnt wear off. You're very right Spiderv1c, those hexagons took ages!
Also, I've been takin pics along the way since I begun the suit, so if any1s interested I'll upload them, ideally it wud be in a kind of step-by-step format.
Its amazin what you can do with a zentai... if you have the patience ;) vbmenu_register("postmenu_11792579", true);

[young-nyc]

oh man that looks great..
i might have to get a set of your spiders on my suit ;) hehe


webbing? did someone say webbing???

[SpidermanC]

i ordered a pair of brads red&blue suit spiders :]
should get here sometime early next week

[fettster]

looks great brad, have you had the sybiote back spider done too?

[spidey4fun]

SpidermanC...they'll be there on Tuesday... I'd be guessing.

fettster..As far as I can tell the back spider is the same as the front..only bigger. Yes I have a larger mold as well. Just didnt cast one yet. Does anyone have a clear picture of the back spider, I'd like to confirm my back spider?? If need be I'll get another mold cut.

Gee..they didnt put much work into that spider!!

[matthooper]

Gee..they didnt put much work into that spider!!

People are always surprised when they see some of the screen used stuff up close. The back spider for SM2 was the same way. I think a thicker spider on the back would look awkward on screen.

Also don't forget that it has been beat up due to use on set.

[young-nyc]

oh man that back spider used for the screen looks pretty bad :(

[matthooper]

oh man that back spider used for the screen looks pretty bad :(

It's not really fair to judge it this way. The piece is cut off from the suit and unstretched. It looks totally different when it is part of the complete suit and worn by Tobey or a stuntman.


Plus, like I said, it's been beat up over months of shooting.

[SpidermanC]

anybdy got an upclose of the red back spider?

[spidey4fun]

Well mine is the same as the front spider only bigger and not quite as thick.

i know what you mean,
i'm just commenting on it's present quality...
and it reaching $5k :wow:
i guess movie memorabilia fetches a lot of money.

almost makes you want to put stuff on ebay and make a fake certificate..hehe..
i'm sure that's been done before as well though :csad:

oh btw on another note,
from looking at all these black suit movie props on ebay,
the brick pattern doesn't seem at all raised or silk screened...

anyone else notice that?
it makes me think that it might not have been raised to begin with, maybe it's just lighting that makes it seem that way?

It is, it all depends on the lighting. The light has to hit it just right.

You can see it raised on some of the pieces. Just go to the closed auctions on the black suit pieces. Depending on the light, you can see the difference.

why does it cost sony $20,000 to make spiderman costumes?
i think there suits are kind of cheap.

[matthooper]

That is just the cost of the printing. That 20K doesn't factor in the time and money going in to the design. Plus the hours and time of construction.

[SlyGuyTtjn]

QUESTION...

(Sorry I've never touched one, or I don't know what utherane is..)

Are the Spiders (symbols) like bendable, or like rubber? Or are they rock solid, and hard?

[Spiderv1c]

J-J-Ju-JUST THE PRINT!!!!:wow: Bloody hell a whole costume on ebay
(if it were to be sold)
Would cost people loads, i mean one small ripped peice of ,lets say, the leg is worth 5kish..
LOL the funny thing is i feel sorry for the poor sucker who gets it. To be honest ..what would you do with a small ripped peice of blue fabric??? :huh:

Vic

[SpidermanC]

hang it on your wall, and know you have more money then you know what to do with . lol

but im sure the people who buy that see this forum and go "a full costume? who cares. its not the real deal." lol

and i've never touched urethane either, but im sure it cant be in a permenant "hard" stage, because it would make very bad webbing. im guesing [from videos i've seen] that its just like latex, but a little bit stiffer.

[mclean.krieger]

the easiest place to feel urethane is your cars air filter. Its hard structure is made of urethane. Probably not the same consistency, but urethane none the less. Learned that on "how its made" : )

[Spiderv1c]

lol thats kinda funny...

'hey whats your spiders made of??'

'Oh just my cars air filters..'

lol:D

[SlyGuyTtjn]

Haha. Well I was thinking about buying Spidey4Fun's Symbiote spider, but in the pictures they look REALLY hard, or metal like.. idk.

[inkmonkey]

Urethane is just a type of rubber. It cures a lot faster than latex and comes in different "shores." So it can be very hard or very stretchy depending on the shoreness. I'm not positive but webs are probably around a 30 shore I'm guessing.

[SpidermanC]

well i bought a pair from him. ill tell you what i think when i get them =]

[lloevs]

I goe surfing and a girl I go with there has one Spiderman wetsuit...just like thes comic

[spidey2001]

Hey urethane take ages to dry, about 1 day to two days, Liquid latex can take anything upto 15- 30minutes to dry. a full cure for anything though takes alot longer! and again it all depends on thickness of the cast and type of mould you use also.

[inkmonkey]

Hey urethane take ages to dry, about 1 day to two days, Liquid latex can take anything upto 15- 30minutes to dyes. a full cure for anything take alot longer!

Depends on the thickness of your mold. And relative humidity when you're casting. Latex takes a whole lot longer than 30 mins if you're casting something of any thickness because it has to air dry. Urethane is a chemical reaction from mixing A and B.
Urethane is used in making Bat belts for instance. It is used over latex because latex would take forever as you would need to do several thin coats in order for it to dry correctly. Urethane doesn't need to be done in coats. So in that way it is faster.

But sounds like you've maybe dealt with both before. I have not. Just going from what little I've learned from casters. So I will not argue. Thanks for the correction.

[inkmonkey]

Sorry, see you edited your post as I was typing mine re: thickness of cast.:cwink:

I was also gonna mention that urethane may be the favored rubber for webs due to its tendency to not shrink like latex and it tends to be a lot stretchier if done in the right shore.

[BaldisEmpire]

Also don't forget that it has been beat up due to use on set.

No no...
The Spider is stamped into the cloth from the back, and it's slightly thicker than the surrounding cloth. But when part of the whole suit, and thus applied to one's back, it stretches and looks great.

[BaldisEmpire]

Young-NYC, sad to see nobody's buying your suit. If you still have it by December, I will buy it (because I'll have the money from working all summer).

[young-nyc]

i know it's pretty sad,
having almost 3,000 hits and not one bid,
but to tell you the truth, i think it's because they are all waiting for the last minute since i have no reserve price on it.

I don't know where you're getting your information, but the Spider-Man 2 dvd clearly shows them making the back spiders out of a rubber compound, not "stamped" into the back. I'm not sure why they would have taken a step backwards for the third movie. As far as I know, movie 3's back spiders were rubber as well.

maybe they took an extra steps to tell the public thats how they do it..but they lied to us! just to throw replicators off track =-o

could be possible, cause they clearly dont want us to have a full spiderman suit.

Nick Fox

No, it's still a cut-out Spider, but it obviously looks heat-pressed into the costume. That's why the edges curve outward, like they're beveled. But the bottom part retains its shape, so you can still tell the Spider is 3D.

And also, don't think that all of the costumes are made the exact same way. Of course, some costumes are made just gluing things on, but some have to be very stretchy, as with this one. There were like 17 suits on the set of the first movie, and over 30 for this last one.

[SpidEMC]

I have been away for a little editting Knight Seeker 2. But I wanted to say as I am catching up, Spidey DR nice suit you made there. I am glad this board was a good tool to guide you as it was intended to be for all who come here.

Well back to Knight Seeker for me guys

[Camias]

i dunno nick fox, it is kind of hard to imagine a woman inside a spider man costume, especially with a bulge in the.. uh... lower region.....:yay:


Hah! I love the photoshopped spidey with boobs! I'm not quite body builder material but I'm defined with a woman's shape and toned. I think the black suit with a nice spider stetching out towards my boobies would be very cool indeed. I want to modify it but stay away from the comic book spidergirl costume. Just not crazy about that one at all.

The bulge in the crotch would definitely NOT be there...just the two bulges in the chest-al region!

You guys are a hoot!

[SpidermanC]

well im not sure if theyd be HUGE bulges. ;)

[kj_shortie]

hey everybody, i got my webs for my suit today. i bought them from nayef and should have my suit completed soon. i am going to put up some pic of the suit with the webs on it in the next 5 mins. tell me what ya think.

[Camias]

So, if any of you fellas have recommendations, I'd listen. I contacted Brad and he got to me really quickly. I'm a shorter gal, about 5' 3" with proportionate shoulder hip ratios with the usual tapered waist...but I do have the female shape so I thought the black would be an interesting look. Especially if I went for the Spidey 3 symbiote look. I'm approximately 120 pounds. I would probably need a customized suit to fit my measurements since most of these are made for men.

[kj_shortie]

ok heres my suit with nayef's webbing. it looks really good!

let me know what ya think.

http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb287/Kevin_Shortie_Jones/

[Nfox]

Camias, one thought I had for a custom female Spidey suit was to extend the front red taper down further and thicken the pointed "belt" section, but instead of directly connecting it to the legs, have it overhang like a short little skirt. It would add a feminine look, while staying very true to the spidey look.

The other thing that might look interesting is either exposed hair (Semi difficult when the rest of the mask is closed) or an exposed mouth. Both of those get away from the look of the movie costume more, but could be interesting if done right.

-Nick

PS: I hope that made sense.

Hey Nick,

I like your idea of the thicker belt section...I'm all about the feminine look whilst maintaining the sharp Spidey look and feel. I think I have a visual understanding of what you're saying. Any photoshopping ideas, if one is bored and wanting to be creative, would certainly be appreciated. I would love a suit to wow folks at DragonCon. Just purely something different and yet still retains that spideyness to where people have no doubt who I am...or attempting to be.

Glad you're sucha sport, with Young-nyc, and others:cwink:

My idea, (Not a perv.. trust me) but for the symbiote spider, I'd make the slanted legs, bend around for a more circle shape for your chest. I'm the kind-of-person who thinks that'd be cool/unique, but I'm just throwing it out there..

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p71/Chadman_05/PC_SM_023.jpg

See, you'd have to have the legs come out more, and then bend around for a circle shape.. Up to you.:woot:


EDIT: Two circle shapes, not one.. To make it more feminine.

You all are throwing out some really great ideas! I followed the links to these eBay auctions and, while I understand movie props get banged and are probably less budgeted with so many being torn and ripped, and they are, in themselves, quite something to behold, I think some of the costumes I've seen on this board are truly amazing. And to add to that, I must say, I like this concept of yours.
Hmmmm, I say...much to ponder.

[SpidermanC]

kj i dont think your links work.

[Nfox]

I just quickly toughed out a short spidey-skirt concept. Anyone on here who knows what a perfectionist, will kknow that this isn't up to my level of quality, but oh well. Here is the rough concept, minus boobage:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v419/FoxyMcFox/Picture1-2.png

It could work for a symbiote suit as well, I just don't have any readily available images of the black suite to edit.

-Nick

[SpidermanC]

oh now cmon, we need the boobage! ahah

[iceman911]

I cant wait to see you pics.

The boobage takes time...time I don't have right now. Feel free to do your own edits if you really want to see some chesticals.

Sorry not yours nfox but kj shortie's i couldnt get the links to work and i really wanted to see them... i didnt even think nayef was still selling webs

I saw KJ's images while they were up. They looked good. KJ, where is your print from. The colors looked nice and bold.

I just quickly toughed out a short spidey-skirt concept. Anyone on here who knows what a perfectionist, will kknow that this isn't up to my level of quality, but oh well. Here is the rough concept, minus boobage:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v419/FoxyMcFox/Picture1-2.png

It could work for a symbiote suit as well, I just don't have any readily available images of the black suite to edit.

Very nice, Nick! Wow.....

[young-nyc]

u're still young,
keep drinking milk and hang upside down, :woot:

thats why i cant buy it =[

[SlyGuyTtjn]

You all are throwing out some really great ideas! I followed the links to these eBay auctions and, while I understand movie props get banged and are probably less budgeted with so many being torn and ripped, and they are, in themselves, quite something to behold, I think some of the costumes I've seen on this board are truly amazing. And to add to that, I must say, I like this concept of yours.
Hmmmm, I say...much to ponder.

Thanks, I'll try and do a rough sketch, or photoshop, and post it for ya. :woot:






Funny how when newbs (guys) ask for help we rarely help, or even other members.. But a girl.. BOOM. Four guys helping her. hah :whatever:

[young-nyc]

woah hold on there,
how do we still know she is a girl?
could be a ploy to get some ideas out of us.. :P haha

[Bardiel]

Hahha Young if shes not....then "He" must wear a spidey suit designed for a girl....:heart:


woah hold on there,
how do we still know she is a girl?

[Spiderv1c]

lol..hey whats wrong with that??

Just will stand out a bit more
...certainly will get people having a secound look ...A womens spidey suit with a boldge lower down:)

Thats a good point i have seen some guys get there heads bitten off for asking to many questions
Or told to read the other 600 odd pages if they want to learn something.

[BANEparkour]

CAMIAS; I have a spidey4fun suit. Someone mentioned above about having to have a section out of the back of the mask to accommodate hair. Well, i have hair down to my shoulderblades/mid back, and all i have to do is tuck it in and zip the mask over as normal. You cannot tell that I have long hair, and mine is quite thick , not fine and stringy. So, the mask may not be as much of a worry for you if your hair isn't excessivly long.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know what material OVDH uses on his suits? and what material he is now using for webbing, I know he has used tried several types of webbing materials, but which has he found most useful?

[SlyGuyTtjn]

Not a girl, so I'm not helping you.. lol:woot:


I really dunno. sorry. Good luck mate!

[inkmonkey]

OVDH uses urethane for webbing. I've heard he may get into foam latex though. Don't quote me...

His prints...I'm not real sure. Miliskin or 4-way stretch lycra probably.

wow, i applaud, are you going to use a face shell? post pictures when you are all done. Did you do the webbing yourself? love the gun metal reflection of the spider.

one question: my print is on its way, and in the upper part of the costume, near the spider where the arms go, how do they attach on their, and what is the part on the very top of that same part?

i bought the webbing from nayef and i might end up getting a face shell.. i really like it! umm..well its kinda hard to explain. it would take hours to write it out.

[Spiderv1c]

Where did u get the pattern??
It looks great.:woot:

thanks for the comment. i bought the print from a guy on ebay.

And (if you dont mind me asking) where did you get your spiders from they shine well in light ....

hey great guess! you got it right! thats him! i bought the print from him and i didnt want printed stuff on my suit so he just made me a print with only black guidelines. i bought the spiders from nayef. they are gunmetal color just like the colors of the webs.

[Spiderv1c]

lol ,I didnt know he did that....
Wow i may buy one of his prints know, hmm..
but my sewing skills will most proberly ruin it.. :(

First I will be needing to place some money to the side tho,
if im goin to get a spiderman costume, hopefully i will be able to conatct nayef for some spiders:D...

Thank you for your help

Vic

[young-nyc]

the suit looks really nice.
seems like nayef's stuff made your suit stand out that much more :)

can't wait to see it completed.

That Ebay print isnt bad! way better then i thought it would be!

[kj_shortie]

hey i should be getting it sewn in the next day or so and then i'll start adding the webbing to the suit and i'll post pics. also the good thing that i like is that i bought a suit off of ebay and nayef's webbing fits. oh yeah and guess what guys! i will be buying the black suit from the same seller off of ebay soon and i'm gonna buy some more of nayef's webbing and then i'll post pics of the black suit with urethane webbing. it will look great! does anybody agree?

[SpidermanC]

i do.
kj, what did you ask him when you bought it? did u just tell him you wanted a print without the printed webs and spiders? or did you have other things u specified?

[Kuriatey08]

allaboutme's prints look good, but once they're actually sewn up they're not all that great, colors are good, but the fabric is not nearly as flexible as it should be, It stretches good horizontally across the print but the vertical stretch is not good at all. For those that are thinking of buying a print, I'd say go for a spidey4fun print . Allaboutme looks good, but doesn't really function well. But thats just my opinion from comparing it to other prints.

Have you boughten one from allaboutme?

KJ, How long did it take for you to receive it once you bought it? and i bought the same print about 3 weeks ago, i' am having a hard time getting a hold of him and i keep asking him for a shipping update and have yet to hear back from him. seems like a nice enough guy but i would take it with a grain of salt, their are similar negative feedback points left for the very reason...:csad:

[kj_shortie]

i do.
kj, what did you ask him when you bought it? did u just tell him you wanted a print without the printed webs and spiders? or did you have other things u specified?

i sent him a paypal invoice and he told me to put "Red Version 1" in the subject so that way he would know which way to print it. that was the name he just for only black guidelines and nothing printed but let me tell ya that the guidlines are really hard to see.

hey this is the first print i have ever bought so you might be right. i was going to buy one of spidey4fun's prints but i seen his only ebay. and i dont know if i will be wearing mine so im not so worried about how it stretches just the way it looks but when i buy the black suit, i will probably go with spidey4fun's because the guy on ebay told me that even the black suit will have black guidelines and i had a hard time just trying to see them on the red suit so i know it will definitely be hard to see the on the black print. and by the way, spidey4fun's black print comes with silver guidelines. a whole lot easier to see. so if you want to be able to see the guidelines on your print, i'd say go with spidey4fun prints! here's a pic of spidey4fun's black print with silver guidelines and the other pic is the red print with black guidelines.

the print you see in the pics is from him. i got it in about 4 days. i always called him. he doesnt ever respond to emails but he is really easy to get in touch with him on his cell.

any body know if ollie sells individual prints?
or what the chances are of getting ahold of him :]

ollie sells the whole suit as well.
a lot of his pictures were used to run fake auctions on ebay :(

Camias- So I did a quick thing on photoshop to show you my idea.. Came out different, than I thought, but it was quick..
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p71/Chadman_05/WOMANcopy.jpg

I only did half to show you the difference.... I had to lower the Spider too, to have the leg wrap around.. The long leg looks too long, but that's what I came up with .. Any ideas?

[brado]

Hey all! Just wanted to pop in and post a pic of the prototype spider for the suit I'm (still) working on. Couldn't find the motivation to sew tonight so I figured I'd bust out a spider and then procrastinate even more by getting on the internet. Damn you internet and your siren song! Anyways...:whatever: here it is. Keep up the great work guys (and gals), a lot of really nice stuff up lately! :yay:

It's a rush job on my part, but is that similar to what you were aiming for?

-Nick

[Kaizer104]

As I'm reading this thread, I'm definitely learning more what it takes to make the suit. I was incredibly inspired that something simple could come out awesome (zentai suit upgrade posted earlier). So again, I'll give you guys a look at what I was talking about prior.

editted to my idea

Since my last post, I got a little bored and decided to develop a better looking concept for a female spidey costume. Tell me what you think so far:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v419/FoxyMcFox/Picture3-2.png

-Nick

[SpidermanC]

it sucks [=
lol jk. thats pretty sweet
but if she wants to do the skirt idea her webbing (if decided to be urethane) wold cost alot. for the molds and stuff.

and shes need to make sure to only sew the top part of the red skirt, because other whys it might be hard to move around in a skirt thats half connected.

[Kuriatey08]

Have you boughten one from allaboutme?

I bought 2 of those smaller prints he had on ebay, and he uses the same fabric for his normal size prints, so they'd be the same stretchyness.

[BaldisEmpire]

It's quite interesting that Camias is getting all the attention lately. She's like the 3rd female ever on this board, haha.
You can feel the nerdy testosterone through the computer screen: "A girl! We sweat from excitement!"

[Nfox]

I actually have a special lady myself, but for some reason I can't get her into spandex...damn! Plus, I just love having an excuse to use Photoshop, not that I need an excuse, or even a reason, it just makes me feel better about myself if I do.

-Nick

[BaldisEmpire]

thanks for the comment. i bought the print from a guy on ebay.

*squeals like a schoolgirl*
ZOMG I have that print, too! It's gor-r-r-rgeous!

...

But seriously, it is.

[BaldisEmpire]

But thats just my opinion from comparing it to other prints.

I disagree, sorry. :oldrazz:
Allaboutme's prints are 4-way stretch lycra, they are great. His seams, in my opinion, are relatively weak compared to other things I've seen, but other than that, the colors are bold and the suit flexible.

[Camias]

Snicker!

I must admit I've never received so much attention! You men are wonderful!

The suit concepts are all well done. Nice to see fellas appreciate the female form so well! :)

I have to agree perfectly! Nick and SlyGuy did a fantastic and creative job of coming up with a concept that I would happily slip into. Esp. if it were black like Vic suggested. Wow is right!

Well Spiderv1c, that looks good. I gotta see what it all looks like together. That seems to be Nick's department. Just a quick photo shop image anyone? (Like real-life image, because we gotta what it'd look like sewn up)

[Spiderv1c]

Lol well I guess wen it comes to 'Girls' its kinda everyones department lol

But you and Nick and you do make a gd team indeed!

There are so many cool spidey costumes out there.. Part of me wants to get one.. but the other part wants to kill the part of me that's thinking about spending that much money on a decent replica.

I've had ago on the symboite costume ...
You wont belive how hard it is when you have only just downloaded photoshop cs3 and want to change the colour to black! lol its not even black its grey if the (blue) area was grey and the (red) black that may look better...

sorry Nick for copying your work:csad:

[Nfox]

I've had ago on the symboite costume ...
sorry Nick for copying your work:csad:

Don't worry about it. I haven't had the chance to modify the design as per some of the more recent suggestions, so I'm glad someone could. Plus, it's not like you're stealing it to profit. This is a community and a community should be about sharing, and building on everyone's ideas so that we all get the benefit. So feel free to take and modify anything I post, so long as you turn around and give it back to the community free of charge.

-Nick

PS: I'm a little busy right now, but when I have the chance, I'll update my design to try to fit some of the more recent suggestions.

PPS: Spiderv1c, have fun with Photoshop, it will quickly grow from a hobby to an obsession. I hope you don't like free time. :-P

[SpidermanC]

i feel like such a noob. everybody's doing all these photoshoppings and ive done nothing. yet i have a brand new macbook, which is designed for art and animation. lol :[

[Spiderv1c]

Lol..

Nick: Thanks I just know some people who may get annoyed if i take there work and it all gets into an argument .. Photoshop is unbelivable hard do understand what is whats lol. This may be hard to describe as an answer..(most people say trial and error is the best) but..how could I get the spider on there?? You dont have to answer..My best bet is to just experiment ....

Vic

[SpidermanC]

my bro does 3d animation, he just got into an art college for his work.. i MIGHT be able to talk him into doing a pretty decent full 360 view for you guys to see. doubtful, but ill ask =]

[Spiderv1c]

That would be awsome, Ask him then if he says no.....






Say its for a girl:P

[SpidermanC]

i wish ollie and schuurkles would give us something to talk about again.

Here, I just roughed out a female version of the symbiote costume. I haven't had time to attempt the webbing yet and it's still a little rough, but I think you get the idea. It's based on the suggestions and drawings of everyone so far:

Hah. After that, alot of pervs would like you to tingle their pumpkin bombs with your spider sense until webbing comes out... hahaha..
Sorry.. I'm 15 years old. That's funny to me.:woot:

Glad youlike everyone's ideas/contributions though!

[SpidermanC]

haha sly i thought it was pretty creattive. and funny.
im 15 too. nice to see im not the only 15 y\o who can blow money on spiderman costumes :]. the few friends ive told are like holy @#$! ur spending that much on a costume!

im like duh :]

[Nfox]

Oooh la la, Nick. That's svelte, sleek and sexy all at once. You are quite the talented one...

Thanks, but it has been a collaborative effort thus far, so I can't take all the credit (I only claim the skirt concept, which I think may be partially borrowed from The Power Rangers). I've always loved working around the female form. I used to paint a lot, and I swear there isn't a more perfect form than the female body. Being able to take that, and try to incorporate elements of Spider-Man's costume, which is obviously masculine, is really a fun exercise in design and creativity.

If you have any other suggestions, I'd be more than willing to whip up another design quickly to incorporate them.

hi all, the cd arrived today.

im at work now so ill check it out later today and see if this really is the real deal

[Spiderv1c]

lol...

I still cant belive you spent $100 for a cd.

But hey if it looks nice and rich then you could always get it printed:D

Nick nice job on the suit.. ( I was thinking , Right after an atempt of doing that, How the hell did he do that???) lol you are truly talented on photoshop!


To be honest he proberly made photoshop lol

[fettster]

I didnt pay $100 for a cd, i paid it for whats on the cd!:cwink:

its worth what someone is willing to pay and $100 for the original patterns is a bargain

lol...

i managed to open part of the file at work (these computers are crap).

on face value it looks legit but i have to get it home and open it in photoshop so i can pick it apart before i can 100% confirm it.

[Nfox]

Well, I'm looking forward to hearing what's what. Personally, the pattern looked too dark to me, most likely as a result of unnecessary color correction. I thought that might cause the blue bricks to drop out. From what I've seen, it looks real. The main thing I'm interested in is how well it will print. Luckily, you are no stranger to printing, so I'm sure you will be able to tell us whether it is worth it or not.

from what i have seen, the colours will need some attention but thats no big deal, all i have to do is match the colours to my existing file and as long as the detail is in the pattern, it will print fine.

[SlyGuyTtjn]

haha sly i thought it was pretty creattive. and funny.
im 15 too. nice to see im not the only 15 y\o who can blow money on spiderman costumes :]. the few friends ive told are like holy @#$! ur spending that much on a costume!

im like duh :]

haha ok good. Well yeah I get the feeling that my dad thinks "You're too old for this. You're driving soon, save money" But I worked hard for this, and I'm gonna make a mask. lol. My friends will like it.

[SpidermanC]

lol my parents keep asking, are you sure you want to spend that much money.im like..nooo? ive only been interested in buying it for like 3 years. i cant be to sure. :P

brad! i got yor spiders today =]. that was alot faster shipping than i thought! they look great too. i have to admit tho, theyre alot smaller than i had expected, but then you think about it and realize that there actually perfect size. i guess i just always though they were alot bigger.

anyways, if u guys want to see them ill be happy to take pictures.

[Spiderv1c]

Hey all,

Has anybody heard of Gorilla Glue??

And if so do you use it to glue your webbing??

It's said to be the 'toughest glue on the planet'

Thanks Vic

[SpidermanC]

NO! do not use that stuff. when it dries it expands everywhere into a very hard "foam" looking glue. and u have to chisle it away almost. i used it on a clay project to glue a peice on that fell off after being fired and it totally ruined it.

[BaldisEmpire]

Haha you guys are 15, that's ok.
But me, I just got my high school diploma and I still run around Millenium Park and in Downtown Chicago on weekends in my Spidey. People love it, I do it for them. My family thinks I'm messed up, though.

Anybody else here from Chicago?

[iceman911]

Yeah I know what you guys mean. My parents 100% do not support me. They think i could use my money elsewhere. I am like you dont understand... its Spideman! hey spidermanC post some pics of you spiders... oh yeah im 17... not too far ahead of some of you guys

Iceman911

[Robotchicken]

im 15....my family thinks im wierd too...all i have is a mask :P

i wanna make a suit though...can anyone give me a small tutorial and a list of needed materials? thanks!

ive ran around my school and played dodgeball in my mask though....the elementery kids love it! :p

somehow i manage to still have a reputation...but thats probably because i could own anyone who gives me lip...lol

[iceman911]

Well the materials you need all depends on the level of suit you want to make. Lets just say you want a movie accurate suit. You are going to need a print (I would recommend Fettster... thats who i am probably going to go with) then you are going to need webbing, eye frames (Fettster's are amazing looking), front and back spiders (spidey4fun has started making spiders are they look great... he said he might even make webbing soon), and some form of shoe sole. You will also need minor things like zippers, glue, and a sewing machine. Hope that helps.

Iceman911

[redsleighdown]

Well soon I will the be the new owner of Young's suit woohoo!

Anway, thought this was an interesting idea: "Venom Attack Suit" (http://cgi.ebay.com/Spiderman-3-Costume-Muscle-Suit-Black-Venom-Attack-Suit_W0QQitemZ270128331844QQihZ017QQcategoryZ60361 QQcmdZViewItem)
especially if put together nicely with urethane webs and some 3d "symbiote" goop.

heres some pictures of the spiders. i have to apologize in advance if the legs arent quite in the accurate position, there very easy to move so i just kind of mesed with them, i put the [front spiders] top legs striaght. im not sure if ill keep them like that or curve them like the 2nd movie. and also, my camera sucks so it doesnt really show how smooth and clean the sides,cuts, and detail is, sorry. :(

oh ! and i had an idea, more for the movie though, but anyways. i thoguht it would be cool if the costume sort of became one with spiderman in the next movie, and the back or front spider kind of shrivled up based on the amount of energy or health he had during a fight. =P

[Robotchicken]

can i see some examples of his work?

[SpidermanC]

can i see some examples of his work?

most of fetters stuff is on his website

http://www.rmfx.co.uk/RMFX/spiderman.htm

thats his spiderman sutff atleast.

[iceman911]

Robotchicken if you want to see a completed Fettster suit go to page 621 and you can see how someone used his print. It was there first suit and it looks pretty darn good. The eye frames are also Fettster's (A little out of place though) and the webbing was done with acrylic paint.

Iceman911

[fettster]

ok, heres my verdict.

the pattern on the cd is good, very good! it is not however, the original digital file.
It is in fact a scan of a printed suit, if you look at it in its true pixel count, you can actually see the weave of the fabric, also there are tiny bits of masking tape holding the suit down and finally, i found a tiny crease in one of the boots.

what i can tell you is it appears to be a scan of a sony suit so it is accurate and it has the full brickwork throughout the blue sections.

the colours of the suit are horrible, i think that i you printed it the way it is now you would get a brown and purple suit, i have fixed that now tho.

it will print fantastically, all the detail is there but please dont buy this pattern and think its ready to print, it still needs alot of colour correction and tidy up.

hope that helps some of you.

all best

Well, it is now officially on my wish list. If I didn't just buy myself a brand new digital video camera (Panasonic AG-DVX100B) I would plunk down the cash right now. I hope the seller keeps putting the pattern back up on Ebay so that once I am ready to get one, I can.

Cheers for letting me know:woot:

hey Fettster will you be selling that print once you have printed it off and adjusted it abit more , thats if it needs adjusting:)

One point (i really dont know when) i will be contacting you.
Just my money is goin down hill as ive just bought an anitvirus system (thanks spidey4fun for telling me), a laptop, and photoshop Cs3...

[spidey4fun]

I thought I'd have a go at doing another back spider for the black suit. Rather then just using the chest spider and making it bigger..which looks a little skinny. This one has the body of the back spider from the red/blue suit but with the black suit shape legs. Which one you think work better for the back spider?

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j7/Spidey4fun/Samples/SampleBack.jpg

or the one of the left below?

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j7/Spidey4fun/Spiders/Black.jpg

:)

[Kuriatey08]

I think the new one w/ the spman 2 spider body looks a lot better.

[Darth Takeo]

I think the new one w/ the spman 2 spider body looks a lot better.
Agreed.

I like the graphic conceptual idea. Only alteration I would suggest is making the 4 lower legs a bit longer.

I actually really like how it looks in the PS3 videogame. It's a bit more exaggerated larger in size I think but it makes for a good look:

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2007/123/reviews/932030_20070504_screen020.jpg

[SpidermanC]

yeah id say make the lower legs longer

[lloevs]

http://i10.tinypic.com/4pucms6.gif

[spidey4fun]

I'll see how much longer I can make them. But I think that's about it. Any longer and they'll be touching the belt. Unless I change the scale of the body and make it smaller. But the idea was to keep the body of the spider the same size as the red back spider.

[SpidermanC]

brad, have you considered for the back spider, getting it printed off on material like they use for baseball numbers and names for jersey's. and then you could hot press it on?

it seems more accurate for the black suit. atleast looking at the one on ebay posted a few pages back

[spidey4fun]

The Urethane Spider and printing process works well enough.

[Crimson Spider]

the new one. i personally don't think you need to lengthen the legs, but either way works.

[Spiderv1c]

I'm likeing the r/b back spider but the only thing that bugs me is the legs....As someone as has already said the legs would need to be longer...

Vic

[fettster]

hi all.

Im getting alot of pm's from people asking me to copy the cd i got and sell them one.

In my opinion,this is similar to re-casting.

what are your opinions? is a copy of a cd that the seller hasnt worked on fair game? or should i protect the seller and say no.

[spidey4fun]

Good Question.... I'd say permisson is needed. He's dropped the price from $750 to $100 so more people could afford it. Who knows how much he paid?? But I'd guess more then $100..so he'd still be hoping for more customers.

Oh... and to make the legs longer I'd need to make the body smaller or they will be too long..and onto the belt. I'll re-scale a little and see how it looks.

He doesn't own it either. It's really Sony's intellectual property if it's real. Even if he did clean it up. Legally he doesn't have the right to sell it. Which means he has no rights to it's ownership.

Re-sell it if you want. Technically you shouldn't either, but I doubt Sony will care.

[SpidermanC]

lol i bet sony does care, they go ape over there spiderman costume. considering they always make ebay take down spiderman costumes and such.

[young-nyc]

[matthooper]

Yes, but we're not talking about the costume itself. There have been hundreds of CD patterns that have been sold. I haven't noticed any that have been taken off.

[Mad Cow Ink]

MATTHOOPER is right. Besides, the suit pattern has never been available as a legitimate sony product. That means all the patterns are rip-offs. As far as the re-cast comparison goes, re-casting someone elses creation is wrong:cmad: and it degrades the detail of the original cast, producing a lower quality product. All you would be doing is transferring a full quality digital file that wasn't created by the seller to begin with. :yay: Go ahead and sell it!

[Nfox]

I would be interested in a CD from you, Fettster, so long as it came pre-color corrected. Since, as we've both noted, the colors are off.

Like everyone keeps saying, it is not his creation, so you and he have equal rights to sell it.

Nick Fox

[Mati]

I would be also interested :D

Is it possible to get brick pattern ONLY that could be printed with plastisol on fabric? Any ideas?

[Nfox]

I would be also interested :D

That would have to be something you would have to do yourself. The easiest method I can think of, short of creating your own brick pattern, is to create your own red/blue pattern with muscle shading (It has to be 99% accurate) but no bricks and use it as a layer under the pattern. Then change your blending options on the top layer to "difference." That should effectively pull the bricks out, but it'll still be a lot of work.

If you modified it yourself, so it doesn't print brown and purple like you said, and removed the creases, then I say resell.

on the topic of webs. does anyone notice that his webs have diffrent depths?
they seem to have a gradual level of elevation coming from the center of his mask out?

anyone else see what im talking about, or is that just me?

Thats an interesting Idea S.C it could also be an effect of lighting, or photo shop it is a promo picture. And if there is one thing i have learned from props. They always look better in posters and on film then in person.

[wakekid87]

it is the lighting, it is just a shadow, at least that is my opinion

[SpidermanC]

it could be a shadow, but idk.
if you look in alot of face pictures it certainly seems to have a gradual level of elevation.

[Nfox]

It has long been known that the web height varies over the entire suit. I remember it being discussed a few times, many hundred of pages ago, when a few people wanted to know the proper web height. The response they got; there is no ONE right answer to the web height question.

So, there you have it, it is not an optical illusion. If you think about it, it makes sense. Having high webs over his face would look weird, and if the webs were that flat all over the suit then there would be no reason not to just print them on as the effect of web depth would be negligible.

-Nick

[spidey4fun]

Nick's correct. :)

[SpidermanC]

good to know im not going blind :)

anyways, brad since your on, i was wondering, would you suggest painting the sides of my back spider black?
