The Sensational Spider-Man (Ben Reilly) by Colton Worley

I absolutely love Colton's work. While he's not published and perhaps not the most known name, I've been getting some pieces on and off over the last year or two. It's clear that he's inspired by other great painters, not illogically by Gabriele Dell'Otto. Yet, I think he puts his own spin & style on the characters and composition.

The vibrant red, contrasting with the softer city background. The shading and lighting. The heroic, yet spider-like pose. Big fan of it all!

I specifically asked for this heroic "on the wall" pose - knowing I had an idea for a more dynamic piece, as well. It's a bit of an homage to the cover-quality commission John Romita Jr. did for me of Ben Reilly.

Size is 11x17 on canvas and this was painted with oil paint.
