SP//dr (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse).

Here's a crop of SP//dr's final design. I worked closely with a Terry Park (a senior modeler at Sony Pictures Animation) to create this guy.

It was an awesome collaborative process with Terry in which we'd throw ideas back and forth - he with models and I with paint/drawing.

Here's a front view to illustrate the size of SP//dr compared to Peni Parker.

There were many rounds of loose sketches done over a 2 week period to help arrive at the final design. Here's a sampling of those drawings.

At first I just assumed that it would have a head (like the original).

These drawing are more insect-like than arachnid. They're reminiscent of a grasshopper or mantis.

You can see just how massive I'd envisioned this thing. But I was quickly told to size it down. The scale in this drawings is ridiculous.

In these drawings there's an anti-ballistic smart-glass sphere that Peni would have sat in. They could display data, project holograms or even an entire holographic set of controls.

Odds & ends. Miscellaneous pieces drawn in hopes of finding a theme for its surface panels.

More bits and pieces. The drawing on the left influenced the asymmetrical paint job in the final.

Extra limbs.

Expressions I designed for SP//dr's dome head display. I wish I knew how to make these into actual emojis.
