Hi All, I've been a member of a few boards but most members have been located in the US. I recently joined the Supernova Forum and was told of this board so here I am. I've been working on making the perfect spidey suit for a little while now and thought some of you might like a look.

Oh! That really is awesome!!! Am I right that you've made 'shadows' by painting certain areas to create the toned muscle look. (If you are REALLY that toned.... wooooo!) wink.gif

Are you planning on doing any other superheros?

Woah man thats an absolutely fantastic costume I am WAY impressed! As Cat says are you that toned or have you incorporated muscles etc into the suit to make it look that way. That is a brilliant brilliant suit! I would love to see that one in real life. Are you coming to the ball?
I've made a Wonder Woman costume based on the 1970s Linda Carter TV series and I only have a small image of it unfortunately but it pales in comparison with your spidey suit

LOL...It's all me....not really. My design is printed into the fabric so anyone wearing the suit has instant muscles....no painting required...but I must give this warning...wearing the suit does not give you any superpowers..LOL.

Am I working on any other suits? Umm...I should be..I've guys asking for 2 or 3 other superheros but I'm kind of a perfectionist and havent finished this one yet.

Oh wow! That's just so awesome!

Are you planning to go to Sydney Supanova? There's quite a few of us going there, and we'd love to see your costume in person wink.gif

I love superhero costumes, and it's always great to see more in oz smile.gif

What other ones would you do once you've perfected spidey?

The technique I use to make my costume allows me to put a lot of detail into the print. So basically any superhero suit that has lots of detail. I've had a few requests to do Superman, Cap America, Flash and many different spidey suits. Other guys have requested body suits to go under their costumes. The the orginal Batman is just grey..but I can give it a pattern and muscle def to further enhance the final look.

Am I going to Supanova...not sure yet.

Here's a pic of the Black Alien Suit that Spidey wore in the comics.

Hey Spidey, it's good to see you made it here! As I said on the nova forums, this costume is absolutely amazing! I would love to see other superheroes!

It would be wonderful to see you at Sydney supanova if you can make it! I'm planning a WonderWoman costume, but it won't be done til Brisnova next year happy.gif I'd love to see a group of superheroes, there seems to be a resurgence in the popularity of comic book heores!
