So, here's what this is. Let me explain...I have this problem where when someone tells me I CAN'T do something...I end up going nuts and not sleeping for days until I do it.
(Me trying to make a small, movie-accurate working web shooter is a prime example of this phenomenon, which I have dubbed "Potts Syndrome," ) Well, I decided I wanted to at least attempt making a comic-style spider-man costume from scratch. I had it drawn out last night, and got really hyped about it! So I asked my grandfather (who I live with) to take me to Hancock's fabrics so I could get a few materials, I found this gorgeous felt/spandex fabric in both blue and red, it had such a cool look to it, definitely unique. Then, I heard these words.
"Josh, you want my opinion?"
"Yeah, what?"
"You can't do this...it's too complicated."
You can't do this...
YOU CAN'T DO THIS...
So yeah... now I HAVE to do it.
Here's the way I see it...if Peter Parker can make a nice, high quality suit from scratch, I can. And I will keep trying until it kills me.
Here's my inspiration. I'm going with a classic sort of Bagley/Ditko blend, which should look a bit like this picture I drew a while back...
And, well, there you have it. This is the first post I will be making. I have to go back and GET this fabric, because I was rushed out soon after gramps delivered his fatal blow. So there's the start, we have a drawing of a costume, a sewing machine from the 60s, and a teenage boy. Same scenario Peter would have had. Simple as that. Many of you are following my web shooter designs as well, so it would be nice to see this all play out if it works, have a costume made from scratch, and a web-shooter made from scratch, all done in the garage. Updates will be posted with any amount of progress, I'm sure of there's something I need help with, I have the community here to give advice.
If this can't be done, tell me so I can make sure it happens even more.
