Ohhhh snip snap, it's time for another edition of FanArt Frenzy! In case you didn't hear, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was unsurprisingly the top earning movie in North America on its opening weekend. Ever the opportunist, I figured now was as good a time as any to feature some fanart of the old webhead. While I mentioned being glad to showcase a character from DC Comics last week with Cyborg, I'm more than happy to make Spider-Man my third Marvel feature after Captain America and Moon Knight. Enough babble, let's go ahead and thwip our way into some Spidey art:
Instagram's Ben Washy conjured up this lovely pencil rendition of the now-ubiquitous Amazing Spider-Man 2 promo shot. Nicely done!
Daithi Joyce PT of the Twitters delivered some much needed Mysterio love, with a bonus bit of old school Carnage. Spider-Man has quite the cast of rogues and it's nice seeing fanart cover the whole spectrum.
So uh, this piece from JTMellecker is a bummer, but an important part of Spider-Man history all the same. It's interesting: Gwen Stacy's demise has been portrayed in fanart form more than you'd think. I'm not labeling this as a spoiler since the story was first featured in the freakin' 1970s. Come on now.
Let's take the mood to a happier place with this fun cartoony take on Doctor Octopus from Tiago Holsi. I could easily see a design like this being featured in some sort of oddball Spidey cartoon and I totally love it.
Instagram's nekodesu30 is a promising artist that can make even a standard portrait sketch look exciting! It helps that Spider-Man has quite a rad costume design to begin with, but creating a cool portrait like this is no easy feat. There's an energetic feel to the lines that I really love, especially those that fill in the background.
You can't do a feature on Spider-Man fanart without showcasing a bit of the Green Goblin! This is from Hannah McMullen. I like the interesting overhead perspective used here: it conveys a nice sense of motion. Green Goblin be glidin' for days.
Let's close out with a sketch of the costume from Superior Spider-Man. I really like the somewhat old school art style used to portray a newer design. Check out doodlerscott on Instagram for more!
