Now, for what I’m doing differently for this entry: this costume was a part of a year long development process, documented step by step in a pdf, and the package was turned in for a competition at a convention I attended (DragonCon 2021). I wont be describing much of my process here; The writeup pdf can be read by clicking the image to the right of this paragraph. All the detail is there.

Here, I will just talk about my overall experience I had at the convention, post some pictures, and log my build photos. Overall the convention was comfortable to experience in the suit. I had several cooling measure with a helmet fan and cooling vest. However I was not totally free from being drenched in sweat at the end of the night with sweat pooling in the chin, leaking out every time I bent over. I also had to quickly sideline this look after the sole of a boot ripped apart. I believe the boot ripped due to poor curing. When too much UVO pigment is added to urethane, it weakens the bonds between the two part compound. I figured this was the case seeing as the right shoe was much more solid with no visible damage by the end of the night. No worries, I will get this repaired and add more pictures to this page. This may be my new baby but I would not recommend anyone go through this unless you have a large amount of money and resources. You will need to know a lot about casting, sewing, and 3D printing.

I don’t have much more to say that wasn’t described in the log, but thanks to all the love I got at the convention and I hope to fellowship with more of the Spider-verse people out there.
