SPIDER-MAN: Brand New Day Tribute

With my upcoming character art masterclass now up for pre-order, I wanted to use this piece to experiment with a few ideas I’ve been developing for it.

I really loved the latest Spider-Man movie and wanted to do a little tribute, while also trying out a more stylized-realism direction than I usually go for. I ended up using a bit of a hybrid approach, mixing 2D comic-inspired elements with realistic lighting and detailed textures, plus an outline that picks up the colors around it instead of just being black. Obviously had to include my signature cel-shaded render as well. As for why the Japanese... well, I've been studying the language for a while so wanted to put it to use!

Hope you like it!
