This is a illustration I did for the Challengers Assemble Sketch blog, this week the was theme was "re-design Spiderman". Mainly give Spiderman a different look or re-imagining. This version is Pirate Spiderman AKA The Crimson Spider: So young captain peter parker was marooned on spider island ( a haunted isle) by his mutinous crew. While on the island the ghosts of a long dead pirate appeared before peter and they made a pact the ghost would give peter Amazing powers if peter would get revenge for the the pirate On the Sinister Six pirate lords who killed the ghost years ago. So Peter not only learned to survive on the island but was granted Amazing powers by the ghost. Eventually peter made his way off the island and became A mysterious Buccaneer called the Crimson Spider, Using his amazing powers to scale the rigging and dance on deck like a spider on a web, he also has super human, strength , speed,the ability to sense danger, and a dexterity and agility that makes him the master of his blades Venom his sword and Sting his dagger. Think more the sea hawk or captain blood rather than captain jack sparrow.
Lots of cool fun and you can check out other cool spidermen over at Challengers Assemble blog. here is the link [link]
I created this illustration pen and ink and Photoshop Cs6 and Illustrator CS6 for he ship elements.
I would like you to try this again when Assassin's creed IV comes out, with your talent combined with the amble and easily available reference material from the game (assassin;s creed games are always well researched) you should be able to blow us all out of the water. Personally I always wanted to see how a spider could be incorporated into a pirate flag.
