I've always been a black suit Spider-Man fan and two years ago I threw together a cheap Venom costume to go with my brother's Spider-Man suit.

After that, I wanted to do a more defined and original take on the Symbiote suit for Spidey.
After seeing Grampsee's AMAZING Symbiote thread ( http://www.therpf.com/f78/spider-man-symbiote-suit-build-210215/ ), I knew I wanted to go in a similar direction, but with my own take.
I looked at the Spider-Man 3 suit and found this concept piece:
A couple things I love about this concept -- The organic web lines and the bluish-purple hue.
THE SUIT
I looked at dozens of Symbiote styles in the form of print files. Then I looked at the completed suits at websites like ZentaiZone. The styles range from Comic, SM3, AS1, ASM2 and Custom black suits.
Ebay ended up being my friend as I found a file that had three key things --
1) The Spider had to attach under the arms
2) I wanted muscle shading
3) I needed fine details such as honeycombs. This would make puff painting easier.
I bought the file and had a local place print it and sew it together with a detachable hood and U-Zip. It came out very snug and fit well.
(The lighting makes the suit look purple)
ADDITIONS
I bought TJack's custom TASM2 frames that are a little bigger and pointier than the normal TASM2 frames. Those should give me the look I'm going for.
For a Face Shell, I've been making my own custom shell. I started out with U-Mold from RadioShack.
I kept heating it and shaping it until I was comfortable. Then I've been filling and sanding it for the past couple of days.
This is a quick look at it with the mask on it.
(I still have some work to do.)

Updates on puff paint and dying the underside of the suit coming...
