It all started after I finished high school back in 2004. Not knowing what to do with my life, I decided to take a year off and see what happens. Much like Halloween, in the Netherlands we celebrate carnaval where people dress up in just about anything. I had decided I wanted to dress up as my favorite Marvel superhero spiderman, but exactly the way he looked like in the 2002 Spider-Man movie. Spider-Man 2 was about to hit theatres and the spiderman hype was at a peak. No such thing as the avengers movies, iron man or the dark knight at the time, it was all about spiderman :)
Sadly there was not much I could find on the internet of my liking, and I ended up with a spider man costume kit made by Spidyfan43. I finished the spiderman suit and although it was not quite at the level I had imagined, I really enjoyed the process. So I made quite a few more of these spiderman costumes, until I reached the point where I decided to have a go and make my own design.
There was so much I wanted to change, yet I did not have any skills at the time. So I bought a sewing machine and started sewing all over the place. I trained myself in photoshop and illustrator, so that I could make designs for the costume pattern, the webs and spiders for the spider-man suit. After a bunch of spiderman costumes my work eventually resulted in a fantastic looking suit in 2007, which can be seen in this video I made with my aunt's handycam in the living room :)

The response was fantastic! Not only was the spider-man costume very close to the original, I also managed to create great durability so that the suit could be worn over and over again. I believed I had made the perfect spider man suit. Guess I was wrong...
Ever since 2007 I have been slowly developing the spiderman suit, making minor imrpovements here and there. I started studying media and film design at the art academy. During this time period I was unable to spend as much time and funds on new developments as I had liked to. Yet I did gather a lot of knowledge and at some point I knew exactly what had to be done to take the spiderman suit to the next level.
So, when my studies were over, I decided to spend the entirety of 2014 on making the spider-man suit exactly the way I knew it had to be. With the help of some designers I made the amazing 3D printed face shell, which is such a crucial part of the spiderman costume. But also we worked on a completely new pattern, new web designs, new spider designs, new eye frames, new convex lenses, new mesh lenses... Basically every part of the spiderman costume would be re-built from scratch, but this time on a much higher accuracy level.
I will never forget the day all the developments came together for the first time. Seeing all details work together on a single spider-man costume, so much perfection and beauty, it truly was worth the 12 years I spent on it. I hope you enjoy as much as I do!
