Creative Mondays 52 – Furry Spidey

“What is Creative Mondays?

Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.

So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”

Week 52 is here! I can’t believe a year and 52 designs/illustrations have gone by. It really seems like yesterday that I started out on this idea to get my creative juices flowing by sharing one thing I had been working on each week.

This week had to be a special one and it goes to one of my all-time favourite characters. Although it’s not the normal webslinger as you usually see him as he’s gone a little fluffy! Following a recent tutorial on PSDtuts + I was inspired to use the same techniques and create this little guy. The stock fur images create a fantastic texture which can be applied to any character you can wish up! I can see a whole series of Marvel characters with this technique so don’t be surprised if a few more pop up on this site within the next few weeks.

I’ve been really proud of my Creative Mondays series and when I started I only envisioned the project to last a year. That was the goal I set out for myself and I’ve had so much fun along the way I don’t see any reason to stop! So thanks for sticking with me this far and here’s to another fifty two weeks!
