Cosplay Designs and Photo Edit by @wens.1998
A cosplay collage that pays homage to 2012’sThe Amazing Spider-Man #700cover, originally composited by Pascal Garcin, this image, much like @wens.1998’s own take on the piece, features art plucked from across Spider-Man’s decades-long fight against evil, withthe cumulative design collated together to form a close-up of one of Spidey’s white spider eyes. Using Spider-Man images for the red part of his mask, Venom ones for the black, and a variety of characters from Spidey’s past for the white, @wens.1998 takes the challenge of recreating this cover head-on, resulting in something truly spectacular.
Mimicking Pascal Garcin’s cover nearly perfectly, @wens.1998 similarly layers the red sections of his piece with images of him in full Spider-Man garb, with the black areas populated byblack suit Spider-Manand Venom, and the white parts more so using pictures of Peter Parker as well as other Spider-Man-related characters. Giving fans multiple close-up views of his highly-detailed poster to swipe through,it’s clear that this piece is the pinnacle achievement of @wens.1998’s prolific cosplay career, with more great projects and creative collaborations promised in the months and years to come.
Spider-Man Cosplay Collage Is an Impressive Homage to an Iconic Comic Cover
Explainingthis incredibly impressive piece of art took almost two years to develop, assemble, and complete, @wens.1998 goes on to explain that he used over 200 individual images taken from hispast projects cosplaying as Spider-Man, a mind-boggling feat for any creative to take on, keeping @wens.1998 in good company with the original artist of the cover this particular cosplay image was inspired by.Spider-Man’s 1000th issue is just over the horizon for this iconic wall-crawler, so here’s hoping it comes with another exceptional cover that @wens.1998 can use to continue to expand his live-action cosplay universe.
