Assassin Spider – My Dark Take on Spider‑Man for a Fanzine

A fanzine dedicated to Spider‑Man’s many outfits inspired me to create my own version — a sinister, lethal anti‑hero called the Assassin Spider. Here’s the sketch and the idea behind it.

The sketch below is part of a fanzine dedicated to the many and various outfits of the Amazing Spider‑Man.

I came up with the idea of making a version completely opposite of what I believe Peter Parker is.

My approach is more sinister. A “what if” — Spider‑Man became as brooding as the Punisher, but more lethal.

An anti‑hero I named the Assassin Spider, who wears an outfit similar to the ones from Assassin’s Creed.

Process

I pencilled the sketch, scanned it, and placed an orange‑red colour as the background, giving similar colour tones to the outfit.

I hope you like it.
