Amazing Spider-Man #671 

model: Nefreteri Tomalo

additional editing & composite work: Tony Davis & Edgar Delgado

based on Amazing Spider-Man cover art by Humberto Ramos & Edgar Delgado

While this image is not Horror related, it still stands as one of my favorite pieces of work I have done. I debated about including it on this site due to it not adhering to the “horror” genre, but not only am I extremely proud of, it also has a great story to go along with it so in the end I decided it was worth displaying here with the rest of my work.

I am a huge Spider-Man fan. Always have been. I am especially a fan of Spider-Man artist Humberto Ramos and Marvel colorist Edgar Delgado’s work. So upon first seeing the cover they did for Amazing Spider-Man #671, I knew I wanted to attempt to recreate it. This was an exciting shot to attempt as it was the result of a collaboration with a group of people I was proud to work with. First off I must thank my awesome model Neffy, who really did an excellent job essentially transforming herself into Mary Jane as she appeared on the original cover. I think there is no questioning just how great she looks in that outfit nor how well she fits the bill. Next up I have to thank my pal Tony Davis who is a technical wiz when it comes to photography and Photoshop Tony was responsible for the compositing work on the shot which lead from green screen to brick wall. An extra special thanks to Edgar Delgado, who took time out of his busy schedule for believing in my vision based on his work and to get involved in the project by digitally painting in the Spidey symbol onto the photo. It was definitely a privilege and an honor to collaborate with one of my favorite artists. Last but not least I have to thank my Mom who was responsible for creating the spidey top that Nefreteri is wearing in this photo, without that, this photo doesn’t work, so THANKS MOM! Overall this was definitely a learning experience in that there were so many people involved, however it was worth it once the end result was complete. I have since showed the image to Humberto Ramos and the current writer of Amazing Spider-Man Dan Slott who gave it their enthusiastic thumbs up. Slott went so far as to ask that I submit it to Marvel for inclusion in a future issue of Amazing Spider-Man. So That I did. Hope you guys enjoy checking out this photo as much as I had creating it.
