craptacular spiderman

crikey just realised there was a major screwup when i sent the final pages for the spiderman pages last month. Was rushing to meet the deadline before the trip to france so when the request came to resend the files in 400 dpi i must slipped up somehwere down the line.

the image on left was the intended final art, the one on the right i sent at 400 dpi, which is really an earlier WIP version.

some of the pages they finally used weren't even given the halftone treatment in photoshop.

A really bad screwup on my part

More Spidering

A couple more pages... the first has some robert crumb influenced imagery...



and the second an attempt to emulate the look of an old original art piece... hopefully for reasons that explain themselves in the story :p the book again is:

MARVEL ADVENTURES SPIDER-MAN #50



From a more distant past, with clear Phil Haleness:

Spideyman!

Just before the trip to France got a chance to do a short Spiderman story written by Roger Langrige... I'd forgotten how much I liked reading those stan lee- steve ditko stories as a kid but doing some reading and research for the story really brought back memories of Mysterio, the Vulture and that whole sick crew...



Both Roger and Me wanted to do a homage to Ditko I think, plus that feel and look of old comics so I got some advice from Matt Hollingsworth on how to get that half tone effect on photoshop (filter-pixellate-color halftone)plus that yellowed paper look (scan, rubber stamp, use as multiply layer)... and then there's the Spooky Bank!



The whole thing was a wee bit rushed but I hope it turned out ok. Does everything a spider can! :p

To appear in MARVEL ADVENTURES SPIDER-MAN #50
