Even though I specialize in drawing naked people, whenever I present a well-known character I try to incorporate as much of their costume as I can to keep them recognizable.

But man that gets tough with superheroes sometimes. Their one-piece costumes leave pretty much one option: they need to be ripped strategically. I thought about leaving her whole mask on, but decided that with her clothes all torn up, we needed to see her smiling mouth to keep things looking consensual.

Speaking of the costume, I've always thought Spider Gwen's design was pretty brilliant. The simple addition of a hood worked wonders on making the traditional featureless Spider Man mask seem more feminine, since it sort of mimics a hairline. (I recall similar visual trickery in the old animated Robin Hood movie, where they added a long head-dress to Marian, an anthropomorphic fox, to simulate the look of long hair.) I'm not terribly familiar with her character in the comics, my understanding is that she comes from an alternate reality were Gwen Stacy was bitten by the spider and not Peter. Sounds like a neat concept to me. I'm sure like many, I'll get more familiar with her when that Spiderverse movie comes out.

I actually started a Silk in up once, I kept messing up her costume until I got frustrated enough to just start over with a new character. But maybe I should give her another go sometime. :D

Gwen & Miles. Gwen & Cindy Moon (Silk).

frank barry

Wasn't there already a Spider Woman? She used pheromones or something? I remember her from the Ultimate Alliance games and that's about it.

Reinbach

She goes by Spider Woman in the comics. Spider Gwen is just the title of her book.

Angelo

Ghost Spider does seem to fit better. Now that I think about it, it's not terribly prudent for superheroes to be dropping their real first names lol.

Reinbach

You know they're calling her Ghost Spider in the new series on Disney XD? Looking forward to it since they got Chloe and Ming doin voiceovers in it. Awesome pic sir! Marvel does keep shakin things up more then DC these days, that's for sure.

Crowsims

Thanks!:D

Reinbach

You really out did yourself with this one, such perfection and attention to detail!

Bob Fink

Yeah that's the part that always freaks me out. Mainly because there's no outline to them- it's just red-on-blue. Obviously easier on a computer these days, since you're not using real ink to lay down the outlines :)

Not a fan of the hairstyle myself.

Angelo

nice!

Reinbach

Dark stuff indeed! :o

Reinbach

Oh no never thst grimdark but kind of like how ultimates 1 went from "hey were forming a team" to "Hank nearly killed Janet in a domestic spat"

That black guy

Yeah I really enjoyed the game. I just beat it this past weekend. One trophy away from getting platinum.

Angelo

From what I hear it couldn't be worse than Ultimatum lol.

Reinbach

Yeah, downside of drawing alternate versions of a character I'm unfamiliar with I suppose. I can't help but project what little I do know. Plus I may still be coasting on some Parker bias because I just finished the PS4 game and it was my favorite thing I played all year.

Reinbach

It's not extreme tragedy but it's like "Hey this is going good....no wait"

That black guy

This is an alternate Gwen though. She’s nothing like the one Peter dated.

Angelo

Oh yeah? I only saw this costume in the image searches I did. Is her other costume drastically different?

Reinbach

Guess I can't get past my old fandoms. However much they change the relationships in the new comics, Gwen will always fit with Peter to me.

Reinbach

Yikes. That's a problem I have with most alternate universes in comics. It's like the minute the writers aren't held to maintaining the status quo, their first instinct is to veer towards extreme tragedy.

Reinbach

:D

Reinbach

It's not so bad. Though the webs on her especially took forever.

Reinbach

Thanks dude! :)

Reinbach

Really hope you take on her Spiderverse look at some point, I love what they did with her in that so far.

Paul

Should’ve had Miles instead of Peter. Still a great pic though.

Angelo

It's a very solid series though somewhat depressing, it feels like one of those gritty what ifs but if they kept going and some things got better but also other things got worse (for example uncle Ben doesn't die in .... But Peter who Jealous of Spider-woman/gwen, who he seemingly doesn't know is gwen, tries to become a hero like her and becomes their version of the Lizard and seemingly dies in Gwen's arms after they fight.)

That black guy

NICE

alex baker

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!! Brilliant choice in breast size, here- dead-on perfect size, but still a more natural, “missile” shape. Man that costume is amazing... seems almost impossible to draw, though.

ScuzzBucket

Great work! You really did a nice take on Spider-Gwen
