I had started out over 2 and a half year ago to make the perfect Spidey suit. Having never even touched Photoshop up untill point.

18 months ago i thought.. wouldn't it be funny if it had lil' bats instead of bricks.
What started out as a joke turned out to be one of my best creations by far which i'm really proud of.

more pics as soon as i get some sleep now.. lol

Thanks in advance!

Is that just a suit or is there rubber padding underneath?

Hey, Joe-

I'm confused. Are these photos of an actual suit you are working on? Or are these Photoshop manips of an idea for a suit?

Looks cool -btw

I thought i'd go into the suits creation in a little more detail along with adding some info that several people had asked about.

To start with.

That.. is not me in the pictures...
I wish it were.
Its a buddy who is a health nut!... and it shows!
There is No Muscle padding of any kind under it, this guy is just damn well built. Its a Fabric Muscle suit only.
Made of a 4 Way stretch fabric.
Has a Zip in the back for easy access.

For those who haven't noticed the entire suit is covered in tiny bats, in places where you have muscles i have given a 3d effect to the Pecs, Abbs, biceps.. and so on.
Each bat have been conformed to the shape and size of the muscle.
For those of you who have ordered one of these suits, you might be wondering why the color is slightly different than what i had posted with my original pictures.
The reason is simply that when each suit is printed they are all transfered onto a White lycra,


when it comes to creating the suits on the computer, it simply replaces the color. Where as with printing the colors have an actual white base which can make for variations.
Calibrating each image to conform with the printer will change the colors to ie ; working in RGB and printing in CMYK.

The suits more subtle in their shading ( highlights lowlights) and not overly cartoony.
Also the Abbs have been alterd to give a more natural form fitting look.

For those curious if i did offer these. The answer is Yes, a run was offered back in June for my generic muscle suits.
The printing method is called Dye-Sublimitaion. this can be quite an expensive method of printingand finding a printer willing to print lycra can be even trickier.
