This illustration was done a couple of years ago for my brother as a Christmas gift. At the time, it was beyond my knowledge to properly color the image digitally. I didn’t know anything about channels or levels, or how to isolate colors within the computer. Now, after the experience and brief instruction that I have had with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator I felt as though I could come back and revisit this piece. My real intentions were to fix the colors first and foremost, and then noodle a bit with things to create a stronger composition. Originally, I think Spiderman was too pinkish for my liking, and having been able to look back and think a little about it, I felt the lenses in the claws of Dr. Octopus (yeah that’s supposed to be me) should be a different color besides that red. That way there is more contrast between the characters and more emphasis on Spiderman himself, and less to draw the eye away from him. The version I have now is much much closer to what I had originally intended. I still have some issues with it though (anatomy mainly) and I will probably have another crack at it one day. Maybe another Christmas some time…
