Artist's Comments

A while back, :iconstriffle: ran an art jam where we created a super-hero team called 'The Solution'. Here's the link to my entry:

Now it's time to bring on the bad guys - naturally enough called 'The Problem'!

Here's my entry - long time viewers of my work will already know that I have a bit of a thing about spiders - so when I think 'scary' - I think spider! My Next X series had a spider-villain - :iconshaylinn: coloured some of the covers and has this one on her DA page: [link]
So, following my arachnaphobic theme, here's my villain - Colony!

(He was going to be called 'Spiders-Man' but good sense prevailed at the last moment!)

Frighteningly Excellent... :D
:iconstriffle:
That sir, is fantastic! Disturdbing and wonderfall all in one :)


Oh, and there was a Spiders Man in the Earth X series wasn't there?
:iconkostmeyer:
Was there? I never read Earth-X - the art looked horrible - did he look like this? Pesky copyright infringement! lol

Anyway, thanks for the :+fav:! Disturbing and wonderful - there's another potential title for my autobiography....
:iconkostmeyer:
That's going to be the title of my autobiography, I think!
:icondedwyre:
Aww, Spiders-Man...that would have been a great name.

Why do you keep using that word? I do not think it means what you think it means...
:iconkostmeyer:
Apparently taken! Still, I think from looking at this guy, we'll call him whatever he wants to be called! Thanks for posting!
:iconnetizenron:
That's just creepy ...

That's a brilliant name and a truly creepy visual. The extra webbing strands are a really nice design element, too. And nice job working in the Problem color scheme. You don't really notice it at first, but he totally fits with the rest of the team. Fantastic!
:iconkostmeyer:
Thanks Gene! (and for the :+fav: too!) Creepy is definitely the vibe I was going for! Given a bit more time, I might have tried to get a bit more definition on his body - having the spiders follow lines like muscle tendons - but I reckon this still works pretty well. And yes, he only uses spiders which fit in with the Problem's colour scheme!
:iconkostmeyer:
Creepy is definitely the word of the day! Well, he is a villain, after all!

Thanks for posting!
