    Before the big reveal, we added the Earth-42 style of inking and splatter to these shots so the world felt different, but not so much that it would be obvious to the viewer. One thing you'll notice is that those heavier ink lines are added to Rio, but not Miles since it's her

    Earth 42 is dark, with criminality rampant. It’s look has a noir aesthetic where colors recede into blocked up shadows and the inking style is heavy and gritty, obliterating light. #AcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderMan #SpiderVerse

    The Vulture was a complex, fully rigged character. Our inking team created multiple layers of lines, many hand drawn & interpolated, married with parchment paper, flip book effects, paper edges & incredible lookdev! #AcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderMan

    One of our most complex and challenging characters in Spider-verse was Olivia Octavius. Her elaborate hair groom was a beautiful achievement by our CFX team, as well as the multi-layered, simulated cloth that she wore. #SpiderVerse #IntoTheSpiderVerse #Imageworksvfx

    I'm rarely speechless but this completely blew my mind and I COULDN'T WAIT for people to see it! Many artists collaborated to create this, but I'd like to highlight Craig Feifarek's brilliance in lighting and comp, Nideep Varghese animating, and Arthur Muller, Srdjan Milosevic &

    In the sequence where Gwen returns home, we pushed both the water color painting & the graphic style of her world, colliding them together to drive home the emotion of the scene #GwenStacy #AcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderManAcrosstheSpiderVerse #Spiderman #SPIDERVERSE

    Our FX team worked tirelessly on this film; smoke, fire, explosions, ink lines, spots, dark matter, chaos!!! And that’s not the half of it! #AcrossTheSpiderverse #SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderMan #SpiderVerse

    So proud of our texture paint team for literally painting miles and miles of roads and sidewalks! We studied all types of areas in New York, from residential neighborhoods to streets and avenues in Manhattan in order to be accurate! #imageworksvfx #SpiderVerse

    Where to begin with Margo…one of our most complex characters, Spider-Byte has so much going on she required full meetings for the entire team to figure out how we’d create her! I’ll dive in…#AcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse

    Hobie Brown rarely looks the same in any two shots, and almost every time you see him he is a new rendition of colors, paper edges and textures. This particular shot was animated by Saul Latorre Sebastian and lit/comped by Joan Pons Bueno #AcrossTheSpiderVerse #Spiderpunk

    Every shot has a story behind it. So many talented artists work together and collaborate everyday to bring those stories to life. Animation is cinema. #SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderMan #Spiderman2099 #SpiderVerse #animation

    A big challenge in the 2099 style was simplifying our look down to paper and line work in distances from cam. We treated each shot like a literal painting built up from the canvas adding shape & motion lines and colored paint strokes based on lighting #AcrossTheSpiderVerse

    Miguel’s visual style starts with brush strokes that repaint and deform, then heavily inked form shading, facial lines that redraw for structure & performance, solarized shadow color, and outer silhouette lines. Then there’s his suit fx.. #AcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderMan2099
