I'm a broke cosplayer pursuing their dream of being spiderman.



What I've bought so far:
Red sweatshirt
Carolina Blue Sweatpants
Carolina Blue Long Sleeve Shirt
Goggles

I was cutting the sleeves off the sweatshirt and I think I'll use the fabric for the mask (which I know a lot of people do) and the cuffs for the webshooter band. I'm also going to screen print the spider because I think it'll look more accurate than marker.

Im thinking of using http://angelusdirect.com/collections/paint/products/firered-paint to possibly paint a pair of water shoes. I need to look more into it but I have been wanting to try it out for a while. It's a heavy duty acrylic paint thats designed for painting sneakers.

I have also been time lapsing all of my build. I'm not sure if I should post it all at the end or bit by bit. I redid the pockets for screen accuracy so I think that's some of the most unique footage I have so far. But as someone who has sewing experience, then I think I might have a good take on that stuff.

Do it bit by bit so people can advise you if anything's "wrong". Any pics of the progress BTW?

I do have some! Here is the altered pockets



I need to take in the sweatshirt and I think I'm going to create seams in the sides from beneith the armpits, even though the sweatshirt didn't come with seams there. From my reference pics I think it is screen accurate to have seams there, I would love if someone has noticed this if they could let me know. I'll post the goggles after I go home for spring break and have access to my tulle and EVA foam.

Here is my timelapse/tutorial for the altered pockets. Hope it can help someone!

I had to draw the spider symbol on with sharpie because I couldn't find screen printing emulsion anywhere and I didn't have the time to wait. I'm a little disappointed in how it came out, but it could be worse. I also took in the sides of the sweatshirt to be more fitted like it is on Tom. I might fix the sleeves, because they look too big for my body now.

These are the goggles

I'm using the extra fabric from the sweat pants to pattern and draft the mask

Lucky for you, the actual suit only had a sharpie'd on logo.

Jeez, I'm glad I went through that hassle. I thought it looked like a screen print texture (faults of being an printmaker, you want to make everything about printing).

I just painted my webshooter parts and I'm in love with the paint. I used testors enamel paint, which I had to paint model cars. It was sorta a last ditch effort bc I don't have a form of transportation and the con is this weekend. I made the parts out of thick craft/Eva foam. https://www.dickblick.com/products/testors-enamel-paints/?clickTracking=true&wmcp=pla&wmcid=items&wmckw=01037-3710&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-uzVBRDkARIsALkZAdnCCY_QnOIUZNdfeNIJpr03LLuCwTmnuyXpQrFO0Sx4b0n7r_NSLpYaApj1EALw_wcB

Con was this weekend! These are some pics. I ended up finishing some of the hand sewing on the train. Definitely some things I'll need to fix for the long run, but it held up well for the whole weekend.
