 Okay, we're we're rolling. We're good. We're gonna get started Damn, it's been a while since I've done one of these and it's also because like I don't Upload all the time. So it's like weird for me to get in. Hello. Okay. I'm gonna start being formal now Welcome to this is like episode three. Yeah, this is three because the last person I had on was What's his name Noah? So hello, welcome to I I I'm still not used to this I'm still not used to doing it, but this is um the spider bite cast and now I have one of my Favorite cosplayers on my recently gained mutuals ATX spider. He makes really cool shit and I Want to be frank. I think the first time I saw your work I was I was absolutely amazed and I think I I think I'm not alone in that because you make absolutely stunning work and I think You your most popular suit is definitely like a it's like an eye catcher and it's I like I love seeing it It's are you saying that the most popular is the advanced? Yeah, the advanced suit is I I think that's the one that everyone knows you for but I feel like Despite that one being the most popular when you go on your page and look at everything else. Everything else is just as good. I Think the advanced suit is only the most popular because like it's the most Like it looks like the real thing That was my goal. No one else was doing it. Oh, yeah I I wanted one and so I just I made it. Oh, yeah Do you how how extensive does your background in sewing get because you just don't you don't wake up one day and just like make an advanced suit That is true. The advanced suit was the fourth suit that I made so I started with the The scarlet spider You know the cane suit right and before that all that I really done was made an Obi-Wan tunic, right? Which frankly, I'm not If I were to do like finish right we want to possibly I would totally scrap and start start from the beginning, right? But I don't know I just I spent a lot of time doing research Those early days because I bought Bought from one of those like Aliexpress type companies I bought my right ain't suit and I thought you know what I can do better and So I did something dumb and I went straight to buying really expensive fabrics. Oh Yeah, like so the cane suit I started with parallel life studios. Oh Jesus so I was just like If I mess up it's an expensive mistake. Yeah But I didn't I used McLean Krieger's tassel two pattern and Just changed the colors modified it seemed to work out. Oh, yeah, and then then I made two classic suits and those both helped advance my skills and Finally the advanced suit, you know, I was just I was determined. Yeah McLean was I'll say go on. I was just especially because T-Jack was making his emblem right and you know that the opportunity struck. Yeah McLean was the guy who made that really good amazing spider-man one suit, right? Yeah, so McLean He rest in peace. Yes, just he made a really awesome Tassel one and Tassel two pattern. I don't know if he was the First but he was definitely like one of the pioneers. Oh, yeah, in those suits And you know, he was really influential in the cosplay community. Oh, yeah suits to everyone He also used to run a YouTube channel. I didn't actually find that Until recently, but you know, he was apparently really influential in a lot of people. Yeah, I only I think the only reason I didn't Really like follow him very much was because his Instagram was very like void and Like that's where I mostly like see all my spider-man friends doing content So I wish I you know, I wish I really took that time to know him better But rest in peace. He was a legend. He made it feels almost like Small to be like, you know, oh, he made an amazing suit or whatever But like I I thought it was absolutely phenomenal, but like, you know, I Thought I I he made some good stuff and you know, I hope I hope there is somewhere out there that he's Feeling better and you know like a whatever. I'm not gonna get into that, but he his work was phenomenal Yeah, no, we're talking about spider-man not existential like I don't know whatever So the so the first costume you ever made was your cane suit Do you do you have like did you do costume design in like high school because like that for a first attempt That was amazing. Like I one of my questions I wrote down to ask you was like, what was one of your first ever costumes? And it's actually Astonishing to me that the first thing you did was the cane suit Well, so remind me to send you a picture of my Deathstroke costume that I made that I made in high school, right? Pepa cura and resin and actually Okay, so background on cane right time to make Canes suit because I'm from Houston, Texas, right and that is where Cain was for you know the comic run. Yeah in 2012 He was trying to get away from spider-man and he was going to Mexico and then he just got caught up in things happening in Houston and so as a Houstonian and a Texan it was really special to have a Version of one of my favorite characters in my hometown, right? I don't really feel like Texas gets its Representation in pop culture It has representation. It's just not the same as obviously places like New York and California, right? and so it was just really fun to get to see that and But you know and So before that while I didn't make many costumes I did do a lot of stuff I you know my dad kind of instilled in me this Sense of if I if I want something I can probably make it right so it started I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal right decided that I wanted Bullwhip and learn to make you may okay wait So you made a bullwhip. I Made a great number of holy fuck That that was that was my business early in in high school. Jesus And and then after that it was right Like you're like a jack of all like so is There anything like you can't make like what cuz like this is all when you say you made lightsabers you mean like you've made Like LED stuff Yeah, so the lightsabers I You know I get the the metal hilt's right and then I install the electronics in them to make them You know, okay lightsaber things. What can't what can't you do? I'm figuring that out. I haven't made an armored cosplay Going back to Deathstroke and like where I was in high school When I was little and like pre-high school. I was really into spider-man And then middle school high school Totally lost that right and honestly kind of forgot about it until about halfway through college Right, just kind of forgot that I liked spider-man, right? And it and it's you know, I was really into Halo and I I played the Arkham games a lot in high school. And so I Was more interested in making you know armored cosplay, right? Surprised that's way harder to get into than so right. It's flashier and a lot of people You know, they that's what they want to do but you know, I I can only imagine if I had You know remembered my love for spider-man and cotton into this hobby earlier. I can only imagine where I'd be right Because I mean how early did you start I I started about like six years ago. I made my it's right there That's like the first to echo Stop that was the alarm for when we're supposed to start when we started like 15 minutes early Yeah, that's the that's the first suit that I still have. It's my first red and blue one But I don't have my other two. I made like a crappy 2099 and then a black suit But then I made the red and blue one and that is the only one that I still have and I just sort of keep it up there Nice. Yeah, it's a wonderful decoration. Yeah I don't have either of my first suits that I mean The the cane suit I sold to fun for spidey and what beautiful cinematic Okay, yeah, I know I know that guy. I've seen him. I haven't seen him, but I've seen his stuff You know, yeah, yeah and then the other One that I sold It was my sit my first classic suit. I sold that to a guy named CJ boss to right Right, I even sold my third one. I sold the classic right the classic was the red and blue one with the like the blue wrist It kind of looked like the one from the TV show, right? Because you said I I noticed you recently sold that one I did recently so that that was a gift right from Empty Spidey or Amari. That's his name Friend of mine that was a suit that he actually commissioned from amazing spider lab. Oh long time this was You know pre them getting into fancy screen printing and such and Yeah, I just I did some fixes on it Send it on its way. Just cuz I you know, I've got I've got a lot that I want to do Right and like I have a new classic. I have the blues for a classic that I've been holding on to for almost two years now, right and You know, so I'm gonna get that one done that will be kind of my go-to You know and then I've got like ideas for doing the all-new all-different suit, right? Which ever I told you my plan the all no, you have not told me the plan for that. I'm very hold on. Yeah, no keep going, okay? So call me crazy But I want to take the original concept art by Alex Ross for the all-new all-different suit, right? And I want to make a pattern where the wet lines are Seams and where it isn't highly made up of just little wreck tanks that no, that's crazy talk. That's like Okay, no go on go on Well, no, you're right. It is crazy top that would easily be the most work-heavy Costume I've done right well when you actually look at like Alex Ross's artwork or even the the version of the all-new all-different that's in the PS4 came like the webs are kind of Indented right and so I feel like doing it with seams would be the only way to do it the proper I suppose But that like that sounds crazy as hell Yeah, that would be a lot of work. I will probably try and do a just a mask See how that turns out. Yeah See if I want to keep going with that, right? So we'll see. Yeah you you recently I I um I follow somebody on tic-toc Philadelphia spider-man and we recently we recently became Mutuals and he you made an absolutely phenomenal classic suit for him. Let me put down the time stamp so I can put it on screen, but you made a Absolutely phenomenal classic suit for him and you are your commissions are closed, correct? They are and that has to do with life being so busy, right? Oh, yeah so brief aside, I'm a grad student study valiantology and the next So it's it's November now November to March is probably gonna be really crazy for me, right? And so, you know, I'm just making big moves in my career But also I I do actually have two commissions that I will be working on during this crazy period One is a custom spider-gwen for Bianca Bella cosplay. She's An Australian cosplayer and really great person. So are you sipping shipping it out to Australia? Oh, yeah Well, so I'm actually shipping a duo out to Australia Being the custom spider-gwen and then I'm shipping out my new Playstation 5 spider-man 2 advanced suit. Oh god. We'll be making that for a Christian Pilaroni I hope that's how you pronounce that. I'm sorry. It's not Christian But Yeah, I'm gonna be making him the new advanced suit from the trailer for spider-man 2. That's exciting I'm very excited it I Have yet to I Guess with the advanced suit I was kind of the first person to do it to that level of detail, right? But I've never been like one of those people who's like First out the gate with a cosplay right like You know around the time that one division was coming out spoilers for those who haven't seen it One does new starlet witch outfit at the end like someone had made a cosplay about within three days. Damn Yeah, I was it was insane And so that I've never been able to do that and obviously it's been months since that trailer was released Right. I'm not gonna be doing exactly that. Right. Um, but I I do Hope to do there, you know, I will probably end up being the first doing that suit. Oh, yeah And fun reveal. I will actually be making a digital pattern for that suit that I will be selling. Oh, I Actually have a question about like patterns cuz like You you use you use a lot of patterns for your work, right? relatively, right What's the question when you when you make these when you make these patterns like I've asked you this before via dms Because I've had people because I'm doing commission. I've had people come to me about using digital patterns When when you get a digital pattern How do you like physically? Like just think of how you've done it in the past like with a specific example How have you gotten that pattern like physically to use? Because when you use for those who don't like so and do like this amount of costume stuff till it's level You you get the pattern and then you put it on your fabric and then you cut it out over it How do you get that pattern? like Tangerbly, you know what I mean? I Literally just print it out on standard printer paper and then cut it out, right Do you do you like because like it's obviously like a small piece of paper? You like glue all the pieces to get or like tape all the pieces together, right? Good God, and it's a long tedious process and frankly I hate doing that, right? And so that's actually part of the reason that I'm going to get into making my own patterns Actually, there are a whole lot of reasons for that, right? But I'll get into that a little bit When it comes to working with a digital pattern So I obviously work with colored fabrics, right? And I you know many people listening. I'm sure are familiar with this, but for those who don't know most spider-man costumes are what's called dye sublimated where this dye is printed onto Just white spandex and so let's say you're making a red and blue spider-man costume Well, the red and blue are going to be on top of white fabric that's one of the techniques that they used in the rainy spider-man films and It's how most spider-man cosplay is done and it's great. It can provide some really fantastic results But one of the issues with that is that when the when the fabric stretches it kind of washes out You've moved some of the details some color and so These you know nowadays More and more spider cosplayers are moving to colored fabric because they like that really saturated look That's part of why I did what I did When I decided to make my own right because I wanted those more saturated colors And and it's good that like print costume and hero's time They're starting to provide that service right because I feel like we're gonna see some really good innovation But otherwise well Kai it's up to people like you and me to You know work with those fabrics. Oh, yeah Anyway, so yeah, that was a that was a long history on patterns now when I get a pattern That's like that for the dye sublimation. I Will just take it into photoshop split the colors, right? So I've got like my blues my reds. Gotcha, and then I'll print them out after resizing them, right? And as for resizing them, that's just kind of the best fit Spandex generally can stretch about 10% and so some recommend that you shrink your patterns 10% Once you've matched it to a person's body. I don't do it that much Right do a do as best as I can. Yeah How much do you like spend on a suit average because like I've Like for example, if you wanted to make like a standard red and blue spider-man suit What how much money would you generally drop on something like that because you buy like expensive ass fabric? Well, if you're if you're asking how I would do the very expensive one like fully printed It would probably be Well, this will estimate I would say 250 on fabric Jesus Christ and then like 50 on zippers and paints and other supplies Then we'll just a lot of whole hundred for emblems and so my god So we're a 400 then we're gonna get a really nice space shell 550 So there you go. I mean it looks good It looks good. Well, and I wouldn't sell it for that because it still takes me No, of course not 50 hours to put it together. Oh, yeah But you know more and more I'm actually kind of learning that it's it's not Necessary to Use those materials It is in plenty of cases like so I'll show my symbiote fact. Oh boy This is a beautiful piece that a custom piece that I have from Parallel life studio, but this is what I'm going to using my black suit and so hopefully right. Oh, yeah blue Right and I did this because I'm I'm really like basing my symbiote off the work of Tottenham Farland And the Secret Wars cover where right like you see here when it's in light It's blue and when it's you know in dark. Yeah So this this right here is a case where screen print is like necessary, I couldn't really get this book with anything else, right? But then also so This looks off because no no No lenses, right. This is my my ps4 Just right and it looks fantastic matches the suit looks really nice. Oh, yeah, but my temporary 1602 Oh is on just Standard with this on standard spandex, right? Let's see. We're there. Yeah, there you go Not used to this no face shell thing. I like no face shell. I Do too, I'm going to try and Make it work better, right? But this looks just fine. Yeah, this is you know standard spandex no texture. The webs are Their path painted but I'm actually wanting to Start making kind of a line of What I'm gonna call stunt masks Cuz I have you have you worn Obviously you've worn cosplay to a con, right? Yeah, like you want to have masks that like that look good Because like they have the face shell in it, but you also want to have like the mask that you can just pull off Exactly. Yeah, exactly. So I I attended my first con this summer and it was fantastic, but Worst thing was Trying to get the mask with the face shell like on and off It was just hard. Oh, yeah pictures, you know Would have been a lot smoother if it were easier to slide that on off and so I'm gonna I'm gonna try and You know make a bunch of dice up with versions of masks, right this You know like print the texture of this Mm-hmm onto a mask like this that can just you know easily be put on taken off, right? Just to make life easier. Oh, yeah No, I've always been more of like a mask guy And I mean I guess it always kind of works for me because I've got like that sharper jaw line Like the only thing that doesn't look good in my mask is like my ears and shit But like I I could not imagine like wearing a face shell every time I put on a costume Like it just feels like a pain like I I have a face shell put the I bought it off of Amazon because like I I Just didn't want to go through all the bullshit of like this is like a it's like a Miles Face shell that I put like put black plastic dip for the lenses on and I I've already tried putting it on. I don't like it. I don't like it at all Yeah, I'm not a No, I know I have not put any foam in it that is actually I will probably good Yeah, I will say that's important is making sure you've got you know Like I like to buy shells from Matthew Delacruz FUDC on Instagram And so he his lens slots are kind of They're pressed into the mass right so if you put foam around those that really helps with the uncomfort You've got like the little wings on the end of the lenses poking into your forehead. Yeah So I will say the phone helps But you know it You're right that a Just a fabric mask will always be more comfortable right a face shell. Yeah Do you do you like do you ever have you ever like designed your own original spider-man costume? Or do you do you just make stuff that you see? the closest that I came to that was actually with my cane I Some I can't remember how far along my designs got before insomniac games revealed theirs, right? but I you know, I did a version that had details like You know like the the MCU suit so I drew out a version of The cane costume that had you know the bands on the arm and other things that you know, the MCU suits have right And I also you know messed around with doing webbing patterns Because I I did know that The cane suit needed to be more complex than just red and black right You know, I knew that probably wouldn't translate to real life all that well But then insomniac games saved me the trouble and just revealed theirs and So I loosely based mine off of that. I will say that I Within the next year want to do my second Cane suit and make it as close to a replica Insomniac games version as possible. Oh, that would be cool Yeah, well and again wrapping H town. Yeah so Actually, I have a fun plan for how I'm going to do the zippers on that one, but there will be no zippers on the waist, so You'll I'll use Just keep keep an eye out. I I always do bro. I love I love seeing what you're doing It's like you you always have like some amazing shit in the pot like I haven't seen a single one of your costumes that like I wouldn't love to like Like see in person like I always think you make amazing stuff consistently Do you have you make amazing? I I? I Will say every now and then I make a pretty good, you know I make a pretty good thing every now and then Not everything I make is you know too amazing or whatever, but yeah I think one thing I realized about commissions was that it's very dangerous because I if I make a Goods like is Unfortunately, a lot of my best creations have been commissions Because like that's when I've just started using this like outsourced fabric that I bought from like other sources and When I made that ultimate spider-man suit The customer was really cool about it. He was like yeah, you can wear it and you can like you know Go out and do a photo shoot with it I fell in love with that costume and I was so upset that I had to sell it, but it's with the it's with It's with Christian and he he looks good in it and I But man, I like when I finished that suit I was like fuck I love it and now I have to give it away, but you know yeah, I did but it was you know It was an absolutely phenomenal work well, I know I know the the feeling of commissions and Like you know, we talked about the suit that I made for David Philadelphia spider-man that you know That's a that's a very good suit or You know I I've received Offeries for both the advanced suit and the miles suit that Some could say I were you know Stupid for not taking them thing is those suits had Well, so I took those suits and The spider-man right that I made to Houston conical is it mm-hmm and entered the Cosplay contest and you won Yeah, didn't I did not expect That right because I saw the competition And it was phenomenal You know there was this eight foot tall work like a ten foot tall Venom Well the fat there was you know so much incredible stuff a fantastic Wanda and Agatha cosplay And the judges decided they liked my stuff. Oh, yeah so I'd you know I just Also big big shout out to Rumpelstilts team who made a Very sailor moon cosplay who she and I were actually Previously in the ultimate online cosplay championship as sewing finalists together And so we we did that one and then we did comic-palooza Kind of sheer coincidence That was really fun So anyway, she's awesome makes really good stuff. If anyone is looking for neat non-spidey stuff Actually even has a spidey costume How did we get here? Oh, yeah, right so costume contest that contest is the reason that I'm not going to sell Right any of those three Would you would you be willing to like tell like what the highest offer you got for the advanced suit was I? Don't know if that's appropriate. That's right. This is your podcast No, you can no you can you can you can not but if you if you if you're feeling bold And you want to say it people can guess in the okay There are comments there. They're comments sometimes this this channel like This is my most popular channel, but it's funny because it's not even my main one And I spend like the most time on my other channels, and I like My animation channels my main one, but I'll come back on this one every now and then and see what people are doing and like If I leave it alone for like a month, I'll get like a lot of like activity on it, but Yeah, people can guess so I mean if y'all are open to do that you can do that um No, go on well, no, but I just totally know what you mean about like selling off your work and Also on the note of commissions and mine being closed So I actually kind of am moving away from them just because there's a lot of stuff that I want to do and not Everyone is going to commission that kind of thing. Yeah, I am currently talking with someone about miles Miles's new 10th anniversary. I like okay. This is a hot take. I like that one Yeah, I I think it's good. I Didn't like it like first cover art that they drew that was the like semi realistic Thing where he was just jumping. Yeah, I Felt like that particular art piece Lacked any structure, right? And so there wasn't You know, there were no recognizable shapes and I feel like that's an important part of a superhero design. Yeah, that said The actual concept art that's that's much more 2d and shows that it's very obviously a jacket on top of a You know standard spidey costume That I like. Oh, yeah and so you know, I Would love to get to do that costume because I would be able to design that big old hoodie Yeah, I think old jacket. It's like a tech wear thing. Yeah. Yeah, and like I've already thought of you know So my 1602 I have right here. Oh Lord This actually taught me how to do like draw strings And so I was just you know, I learned how to do draw strings specifically for the pants, right? Yeah, let me see the back. Yeah Yeah, I love that this thing was painful. Haha. I love it though. It's so good very It was a lot of fun. Oh Yeah, new skill draw strings which I would then go and apply to the new jacket, right? Or like all the buttons that I learned to so I another one that I would like to do over the next year is Spider-man war Based on the shattered dimensions version. Oh, yeah, I Know I if I if I could change one thing about the new Miles tech wear suit I know like the cannon reason that like he doesn't Spoilers for anybody who hasn't read the comic I guess because like Apparently he okay, so this is like hot off the heels of like the clone thing or miles was like, you know what? I'm gonna get cloned whatever and Peter was like, no don't do that. And yeah Yeah, no, I'm kidding. But like he gets cloned and Miles is like, I don't want to wear my old costume anymore. It like just feels wrong But I I still wish miles like had a similar mask design Like I wish he almost like I wish he kept the mask from his first costume I because I feel like yeah, yeah, because it's more recognizable as miles because I feel like It's all you're almost prone to make the mistake that like this is this like cane or something Because like I feel like the mask is literally just canes man Like and I get that like, you know, it's hard to make a new spider-man costume nowadays Because like it's either Peter Parker or it's either somebody else completely different And you don't really know and I feel like a good thing for miles would be to Make it so that you can tie it back to miles strictly from the design Which you already kind of can because like it's like street clothes and like You know like fashion wear, but I but it's a hot take. I like it. I think it's good Do you have any hot takes about any spider-man costumes? Like what are some of your guilty pleasures or like controversial favorites? I Don't really like the big-time suit That's a that's pretty hot thing. I Yeah, I mean and it's kind of funny when I when I tell you that that's actually going to be the next big project that I do After I finished the symbiote suit I'm making time. I hate it. I'm gonna spend five hundred dollars on fabric nah Will it's the lights that scare me. Oh, Jesus. You're gonna like do like the Someone's done that before have you seen Marvel becoming when they made the velocity suit for what's his name Aaron? Yes, their model and it was castle corsetry made the actual suit Right and yes, they did well. I think I can do better I Will say go check out So Remy Domino cosplay They're a cosplayer out of Louisiana who mostly does Bakugo from my hero academia, right, but they actually made These fantastic light up costumes for Bakugo and Deku in the new movie like they are You should put a picture on screen. That's it. Let me your phenomenal time stand And so seeing that work That is really what kind of you know when I was looking into different methods that I could use for the big-time suit And I found their work You know that would made me realize. Oh, this could actually look really cool Mm-hmm And so real quick The reason I don't like the big-time suit is because the primary color for the lights is green Right, I don't think any spider-man costume should be green. I think it makes it work I said I didn't like the big-time suit very much until the ps4 game, but I think it makes it work Well, it's if it were like I like it when it's red Mm-hmm, and I'd like I've seen some edits where it's more like a sky blue And I really like that. Oh, yeah, and so I you know, I'm planning on making my RGB and fully programmable, right You know, I will be able to do the accurate green right including like the eyes the eyes are also gonna be oh, yeah, okay And so this this actually gets into Why I've been choosing a lot of the projects that I have lately It's because I'm trying to learn new skills. Mm-hmm. I You know, I feel Like I've kind of you can always do more In developing certain skills and like I'm planning on doing another red and blue suit But with that red and blue suit, I also want to design my take on web wings, which you have so graciously I I that's a little too generous. I I don't I Think my web I I feel like I could find a way to do the web wing No, I feel like it no, okay Cuz it's almost impossible with the way that like I think it would look cleanest to do But I'm sorry go on I because I feel like the most optimal way would be to sew it on the inside But like you can't really do that because it bunches up really uncomfortably when you Like you know what I mean cuz like I would I thought the best way to do it would be to embed the web into the seam But when you like okay, so my web wings are cut out like at a 90 degree angle and they're sewn at This part and this part is sort of hangs out So if you were to embed it into your seam you'd flip your suit inside out So and then when you're sewing this side part you sew the web in like that But the thing is is when you go to do it on the arm. I feel like It would bunch up uncomfortably and it wouldn't come out how you want it I did think of something. What if you could like cut the web like so you have like your right triangle That's your web wing if you what if you like cut it down the middle and then like I don't know I don't know but I'm I'm just pitching But let me help you out right what I think my solution to this issue is Mm-hmm. Don't have the web wing all the way in the armpit Have it mostly on the arm right mostly down the side would have a little Unconnected portion where the where the sleeve seam connects with the torso Then there's this little space up here. It can even be so small that no one would see it right And You know then I mean yes, it'll bunch up, but you know it's not gonna be in your armpit Right between your arm and your side rather and so I I feel like that way Gets around a lot of the flexibility issues right as well and Just allows for You know more creativity in design and so I I'm gonna try a few things But that's that's definitely something that I want to do Why anyway, so so getting back why I mentioned this right New skills are just I find them to be more fun to develop Right, you know I want to do Spider-man you are because it's different right You know I want to redo the mask for 1602 so like I'll still have this that I can take to you know actual events But then I also want to do so on On this costume the red bits are actually made of linen right it's it's linen for the red and then blue velvet And so I want to do a mask out of this linen, which has no stretch at all Design a spider-man mask with zero stretch right You're probably gonna need a zipper for that And then the extra challenge is keeping it historically accurate, so I might even want to do Kind of placing it up. Oh So I'd be interested. We'll see how it goes. Yeah Technically the You know if you really wanted to do a historically accurate Kind of thing you could get one Yeah And that seems like a big time investment. Oh, yeah Liam you want to see me roll an ad? Yes, I Sponsor myself. Hello. My name is Kai from the probably spider-man channel and I make costumes. That's very apparent buy a suit from me. You fuck nice shot I'm doing commissions I will list the prices over here I'm essentially just gonna do a short little explanation about how my commissions work If you want more information because this video is probably not gonna provide you enough with it I just need to give you the initiative then you can check out my story highlights because I'm gonna put a highlight on my story I Already have one, but you can see everything you would need to know about commissions from me anyway So for the base price, which is the $150 suit price that is the base that is the base You have to build what you want off of these bases the first base price, which is 150 you can get a jumpsuit Which is built off of a of a zentai zone body suit and I can do whatever you want with it So it will be made out of just basic spandex and if the design is not too complicated We can stay at the basic jumpsuit tier So essentially what that means is that you will get a basic spider-man costume that doesn't have a complicated design All right, the design is the one that you choose you choose the design and I make it You're not just getting a classic spider-man suit unless that's what you want Number two, this is when I start to assemble the suit by myself completely The number two option includes one use of fancy fabric Which means one of the fabrics in your costume will have some sort of texturing or detail on it like this I what I will not do is I will not paint on texture The texture will be bought onto the fabric because if it is painted on I cannot guarantee that it will stay together And stay the same quality for as much as printed fabric can the four in the second Fuck the third option the third option is the $400 option the $400 option will get you Two uses of fancy fabric all for your costume Which means you will get two fabrics with special detailing on it that will be on your suit If you want more than two we can talk about that, but it will cost more Again, if you need your spider-sona designed if you need a spider-man costume for a fan film that looks legit I will put all my work on screen you can bam bam bam bam bam whatever you can look at it Here's my work You can message me on Instagram. Okay, I only take PayPal. I only take PayPal Okay, we can negotiate about anything else, but I would I would prefer PayPal over anything else I Will the main way of messaging you will be on Instagram Unless I state otherwise I will provide you with process Pictures of your suit. I will provide you with any info you would need to know about the costume It usually takes me about two weeks to create a costume when it's your turn in line. There is a line There is a queue you have to you know After we've started negotiating your costume Then you will be put in the queue and you do not have to pay until it is your turn in line And we do half and half payment so it means once it's your turn you give me half of the payment You give me the money Okay, and then I use that money to buy your materials and Then once the suit is done, and I'm about to ship it off to you You pay me the rest plus the $16 shipping and then it is sent off to you. I Right now. I'm only comfortable with doing shipping within the US if you are in the US That would be preferable if you want to negotiate with me about shipping anywhere else We will figure it out, but I mostly deal within the US. Thank you so much and um We're gonna get back to the podcast with ATX Okay, I was expecting because I I just I made like a short little like ad for commissions that I'm gonna put right here That's the meme, but I'm gonna cut this part out. So Yeah, I can say like You can say anything and it will be gone. I can say disappear fighter man lotus doesn't excite me and No one will hear anything That was sarcasm. Oh my god. Okay, you scared the fuck out of me. I was about to be like what? All right, I'm gonna come back. I'm gonna come back from the ad. No, I'm putting that in I'm putting that in No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. All right. Oh All right, we're back. We're back from the ad By the way, it's something I forgot to mention that video. I made this mistake once I'm never making it again if you can get grounded by your parents I'm not making a suit for you Okay, that's that that's it. Like I recently did a suit for this kid I'm gonna time stamp it so I can put it on screen All right, 45 07 2099 I made a suit for this kid and I just finished it and I DM'd him over and over again. I was like, dude, where are you? Are you gonna pay for this suit, right? And his stepmom gets on the Instagram DMs and is like hi, he's grounded. How much do I own you? I'm never if you can get grounded. I'm not making you a costume. I'm sorry. I don't care like a Straight up straight up if you can get grounded. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. That's it You could get parental permission. You can get parental permission. I forgot to timestamp the ad. It's fine Oh The What was I think is that the suit recently that you like totally finished the commission and then had to sell it They're kind of like 29. Yeah, I tried to auction it off here. I have the Yeah, I have the I saved the the reference. I print it out. Oh, that's a sick reference. Yeah I I keep all my old references in this book like I have my my strike force references I keep I just keep all the references that you know people give me for their costumes in here It's just like a big old book of stuff. I've done. Oh all right, I So I'm gonna get so with like the last like What like 14 minutes we have left because I only want to keep you for like an hour what are What is some okay? Do you have like a favorite onscreen spider-man and I know this is like murky water That everybody loses their minds, but like I do this every podcast okay, I do okay and Of the of the three primary options. I feel like you're gonna pick some bullshit No, I'm kidding. No, all of them are decent, but like I feel like you're gonna throw throw I'm a Toby guy. Okay. There we go. I think that has to do with my age Mm-hmm Spider-man is the first movie that I remember seeing in theaters Specifically, I remember Watching Norman turn into the green up goblin and kill that guy and That like scarred me. Oh, yeah But that's yeah, and I just He resonates the most with me right I will say when I was an angsty team You know, that's when the amazing spider-man came out and that was really well timed because I really liked and still do like the amazing spider-man and it it was You know, it was the perfect angsty teen spider-man for angsty teen Liam Believe it or not, I still have not watched the amazing spider-man you have not seen that movie I have never seen that movie. Nope. What I've do you like know what happens like the plot? so I have watched like more hours of video essays on the movie than the actual right like I've seen it broken down and I've I Maybe I've seen the whole movie. I've just you've just never seen how God intended Well, how Sony and yes same thing So and then I Guess I'll give my controversial screen opinions. I really liked Tom in Civil War And then he kind of lost me for a bit like I and I I will say I enjoy I enjoy Right Tom spider-man. I have a lot of fun with the MCU movies. It's just he doesn't resonate with me in the same way Yeah, most other spider-man do right and I find for me the the main thing that I like in a spider-man is That he's kind of doing his own thing. Yeah, and and like He works by himself to a fault, right to the point that So ps4 does this perfectly with the whole Mary Jane getting into dangerous situations and him feeling like You know, he has to rescue her You know, he he's so used to working by himself that it leads to problems, right And so then when other people You know step up to help him and he actually accepts it like that's yeah very satisfying to me And also resonates with me Because I'm not really that used to accepting help right But I really appreciate it when I get it. So, you know, and I just in so Tom's Spidey We'll say the end of homecoming did that well And and I enjoyed like the high school road trip aspect so far from home, right the You know, I enjoy it again. Like I said, I enjoy it. Yeah, doesn't resonate with me as much Yeah, but I am very excited for no way home. Oh, yeah, not just because In fact, no, it's not because of the possibility that Toby and Andrew will show up because I'm not getting my hopes up for that I'm just very excited to see You know Doc Ock and Goblin back I'm excited by what Tom Holland's actually said about the movie which is that If they were to make another Spider-Man movie the characters would be in a very different place From where we have seen them, right? That's exciting to me. Oh, yeah And so I'm just I'm very interested What happens right when you when you said earlier that you enjoy Toby because of your age because like you resonate with like, you know, I Usually I feel like if you're gonna go for the age pick You're gonna go for the one that that is always left out I never see anybody talk about him, but Peter B Parker is my favorite on-screen Spider-Man He's my favorite. He I know it technically doesn't count, but he was on a movie screen. So it counts for me I love him so much. I think Hit because all these Spider-Man have sort of like silent arcs a lot of them Like as bad as the movie will get there's like an internal arc that isn't really spoken of that you can see going on and I think Peter B Parker's is my favorite because He just wants to go home. He doesn't want to deal with this anymore He wants to get to you know, he wants to get back to his like sad depressing life, but then he's like He just realized that like I don't know if I can do this anymore So he doesn't want to save the universe like the reason why he wants to save the universe isn't because he You know wants to sacrifice himself to save the world for the greater good. It's just because he doesn't want to live anymore He's like Miles Miles is like that one spark of hope that he has but once Miles isn't like ready He realizes that like it's over. That's it. There's no more So when he wants to leave himself behind so that everyone else can go home, it's not because he wants to save the world It's because he wants to not do it anymore. He gives up But then Miles finally comes back Right and Miles has been Sort of imbued with the knowledge that some of the knowledge that Peter B Parker has given to him and he finds this hope again He like he's he's so excited like he's He's like he's like a perfect example of like a depressed spider-man Going through stuff because he's always flipping back and forth He's always like relapsing and falling back into his things And that's why I love Peter B Parker so much because he's like I want to go home I don't want to go home. I want to go home. I don't want to go home He does this when he's like when he first gets there. He does this when he gets to the collider He does this he so when he gets there He's like I want to go home when Miles can't do it He's like I'm gonna die when Miles shows up He's like I can do it But then at that last scene where he sends miles off to fight the kingpin He's like I want to die But then Miles like kind of gives him that spark of hope by showing him Like one of the things he taught him which was like the kick move and he's like I can do it I love him so much and I was a little bit upset when they only recently confirmed that he would be in the next movie And I was like he he wasn't gonna be there in the first place Yeah, no, I Would have just imagined he needed to be there. I love him. I And you know what I Hope that more people talk about him and I hope that I Mean, I know what people are asking when they say like who's your favorite spider-man and just talking about yeah But I do hope in the future Not only that people can be a little more Nice with sharing their opinions, but also that they bring the other Characters to the table like yeah Or even you know, who's your favorite miles? Yeah, I diverse or PS4 all spider-person a question about it Yeah, yeah, I Interested to see where where PS5 goes. Oh, yeah And then I mean inevitable Sony or MCU miles, maybe yeah Maybe I Will have to see what they give him because they've given a lot of miles stuff to Peter Peter I'm see you Peter part, but I just realized I remember seeing a tweet once that was like man You guys just want spider-man to be miserable. You're upset when he's all happy go like and I'm like if it means Peter be Parker I want him miserable all the time Give it to me, bro. I love him so much. He's like nobody talks about him except for me And it makes me really upset that nobody loves him as much as I do Keep spreading the good word Yeah, oh Man, I actually went as Peter be Parker to my local Comic Con about like three years ago Barefoot yeah Yeah, I did the Peter be Parker barefoot like I wore the suit I wore the sweatpants and I didn't have any shoes on and I like everybody I've seen I saw other Peter be Parker's there, but they weren't as committed as I was My suit might not have been the most accurate because I wasn't wearing the right mask because I didn't have one But I I won I won that day and everybody else lost because I was the most committed I too wore Peter be Parker at a con But that was just because I was so wiped out from Saturday, right did a comfort cosplay What was the wait? What was like the base suit? Was it one that you made? It was the one you were talking about with the blue on the right. Oh, okay. I see. Oh Man, we're almost yeah, no one day. I will design a comfortable Spider-man costume. Yeah one that is like You know, this isn't gonna happen. What? Enough like recycled Lululemon like shirts. Mm-hmm. I don't know if you've ever felt that no That stuff Right, so if I drew that newest by these two That would be comfortable and go to bed in that Yeah Alright, we're almost at the hour mark here. I know you got something to do in like 10 minutes So I'm gonna let you go Liam.
