Hey everyone! I'm back and this time with a build for my Homecoming suit! Ever since its debut in the Civil War trailer, I fell in love with it. It would have to be my favorite Spidey suit along with the ASM2 suit. Honestly, I really wasn't planning on making a thread for this until it's all finished but what the heck right?
Fair warning for the people who'll be keeping an eye on this build: I am an art major, and I have a lot of school projects that I'm working on so this will be an extremely slow build.
For this build, I will be:
1. Using a slightly darker red lycra for the red sections (darker to emphasize the webs) and plain white (of course with a pattern to be printed onto) for the blue sections.
2. Having a pattern (provided by the ever so talented Timey Wimey) printed onto the fabrics. I did go on to modify his pattern to better fit my body and replaced the brick patterns on the blues and the dotted patterns on the reds.
3. Puffy painting the entire suit to add texture. I could just go to local printing shop and have the texture screen printed but I like to think that making the suit with my 100% effort would make it a lot more special to me. As you can see in this image, I've tried out a lot of shades of red puffy paint to use on a test print. Using pure red puffy paint just didn't work out since it turns darker when it dries (bottom center left). I even tried acrylic paint and although it almost got the right enough shade, it was extremely rough against the skin (all at the top of the spider). I found it best to first apply a layer of white dots with white puffy paint, leave it to dry for a few minutes, and go over it with the red puffy paint. This makes the red stand out brighter and more vibrant (bottom center right)
So far, here's what I have. I started out with one side of the glove since it's a small piece and when i screw up, I could just that piece. The first pic best shows the contrast between the dark fabric and the bright puffy paint and the other would give you an idea of what the weblines would look like when it all comes together, and the dark fabric was really a great choice since the webs stand out.
I'll try my best to update this thread as often as I can. Thank you guys and wish me luck!
