Hey! This is a costume thread. About Spiderman.
After that strange intro, welcome. Here it is, kids. A classic comic costume (a little alliteration) With my own Chase Calloway touch. I recently finished and wore my costume to a big convention here in Ohio, and it went incredibly well. A good number of people thought it was AntiVenom, but most knew it was "2099" Spiderman. Either way, it was great. (Shamless plug => http://www.therpf.com/f78/2099-future-foundation-spiderman-costume-226657/ )
So now, it's time to tackle a comic based Spiderman costume. To try looking like a much prettier, or movie-esque, version of Ramos' Spiderman. I chose his because it's absolutely my favourite version. I love the eyes most of all, which I've already made. But of course, I'm taking a lot of liberties/inspiration from the amazing movies. Of course, all of my costumes have pattern/texture like the first Amazing Spiderman. It just catches the eye and at conventions, that's what it's all about. And it just looks awesome to me, and if I'm happy with it, then perfect.
So! Lets talking about the features of this costume. I have a plus zipper arrangement, which is the best in my opinion. Two zippers that wrap around the waist, one that goes down the butt, and one that runs up the back. The Amazing Spiderman 2 movie does this but without the butt zipper. When I tried that, the waist just couldn't fit over my buns, so a butt zipper was required. Glove zippers, a zipper on the back of the head, and a pocket zipper are there too. Now I just need zippers for the boots and my crotch. Also, I decided that the middle and ring finger shouldn't have red sections on them. For some reason I'm really proud of this. Literally I got the idea to do this, which inspired me to even make this costume in the first place. Kinda crazy, I know. xD I was originally going to do a SpiderGwen+Miles Morales Spiderman costume but that'll have to wait.
I'm also deciding to go with the Amazing Spiderman chest/back symbols and an uneven web pattern (Like my edge of time spiderman, but better) Also, the mask on this one is attached to the body. This is a huge change for me, so hopefully I don't mess it up too bad. I do plan on trying to make replica comic style web shooters to wear under the suit (If anyone has recommendations for that they are welcome.) I hope you guys enjoy seeing the progress of this build. The next big con is colossalcon in early June, but I'll be working on another costume at some point so I can have two (The aforementioned SpiderGwen/Miles costume). Here come the pictures!
You can see how the zippers meet up in the back here.
I messed up a bit on the pattern. The red stripe on the arm is supposed to be smaller and shoulders more angular, but easy fix.
Now, I get a lot of questions about how I sew these suits together, so ask away! I don't make threads about my journey just to be rude to people. There are a few.. secrets of mine, so I don't have total copy cats, but there's not much I can really do about that. I tell you guys 95% of everything. :* Thanks for looking, everyone. I did draw up a plan of the costume, but I'll upload that later.
