Made my first oc! Spiderverse brainrot hitting hard. As a Ukrainian I thought it would be really cool to make a Ukrainian spider woman inspired with traditional clothes! So here is Nina!!!
- Her web shooters are organic!! Ignoring any physics etc. that might make it impossible for her to not be able to shoot through clothing uwu
- She grew fangs after getting bitten, but she grinds her teeth in her sleep, so they quickly became blunted again. She’s technically venomous but has no real way of implementing it
- Before moving full-time to the spidey HQ, she was an entomologist (studied and cared for bugs for a living) at the Central Park Zoo from her dimension. Rather than being a zookeeper she worked “behind the scenes” in a lab.
- One of her favorite little spiders was the one that wound up biting her and making her a spider woman. She forgave it, thinking it was cooler than it was scary, and snuck the lil fella out one day as a pet (so as to stop it from biting and mutating anybody else)
- Named the spider Pine (Pine + Apple………)
- Apple took up aerial silk classes after becoming a spider person because she wants to look cool and graceful and whatever with her webs. Surprisingly, it works
- This is still only a maybe, but I think she is from Earth-0609, because of fucking course she would be
- Btw she eventually does move to HQ permanently because she accidentally stopped her canon event (still TBD)
- She was brought into the spider society when this happened by Miguel. He was notified of her world collapsing and had already been observing her in secret as a possible recruit
- When he showed up, she was sitting on the roof to one of her favorite skyscrapers, eating falafel that she stole from her favorite food stand and crying while watching the chaos unfold around her lmao. She knew she couldn’t stop it so she just let it be
- Miguel was all “you need to come with me if you want to live querida” and Apple was all 😏 at him calling her that, but didn’t reveal yet that she speaks Spanish
- (He helped her stand up and she almost fell over because she’s tiny and he’s strong, so while still holding his hand Apple was like, “do you always sweep spider women off their feet or am I just special?” to which he was basically like “damn I should’ve let you die”)
- She’s a polyglot (well-versed/fluent in several languages) but hides it at first to try and get The Tea from Miguel/other various spiders to make her new home more entertaining and palletable
- Gets on well with Hobie because of the chaos she accidentally causes by being a hopeless flirt and a little shit. Gets on well with Peter B, Lyla and Jess even better because they love the playful bickering that they get to see when Apple and Miguel are in a room together
- Her suit, like Miguel’s, can fabricate itself on and off. It’s not a hologram exactly, though — think of it like Danny Fenton -> Phantom’s transformation. Like she presses a button on a bracelet or something, and her suit replaces her clothes
- Rather than being all pixelly etc., the suit looks like it’s someone peeling/unpeeling an apple, with a wavy/uneven cutoff at the edges when the suit is only partially on/off
- Gets chastised a bit because plenty of spider people think her big comfy scarf is inefficient
- Valid! Because it does get her stuck in certain spots she’d rather not be in, such as being yanked back by it or getting caught on things
- BUT Apple finds uses for it to spite them (I.e. ziplining with it, using it on citizens as a partial safety net while they’re falling, or a blanket in cold weather or whatev, stuff like that)
- Another reason Hobie likes and respects Apple is bc of her commitment to the goddamn scarf against all odds lmao
- Probably in her early-mid 30s but can be a bit childish at times
- AuDHD because of what somewhat-self-insert OC would she be if she wasn’t ND???
The impact Spiderverse has on art and artists is INSANE. Everyone is drawing, everyone is CREATING. From colour studies, to the art style studies, to making sona influenced by the movies' character designs. AI generated images are nowhere to be seen, and I hope they're going to stay buried in the uncreative pits they belong in... the world is in balance.
Miles knows ASL and even tho it's the Insomniac version of him Imma headcanon all versions of Miles know ASL because that cool asf!
Marisol communicates solely in ASL. She's Italian-American and LOVES pastels and hearts.
In deaf culture they use light to alert and get others attention so I wanted to incorporate light into her fighting style. She uses flash bombs and the main part of her suit, which is based off of the Mirror Spider's reflective back, can blind temporarily enemies. The eyes of her suit allow her to see in the intense light and are very expressive (an important part of signing).
She's not fully flushed out yet and this is only the 2nd iteration of her design so she will definitely change in the future. But for now I want to figure out what her face looks like and draw her with clothes over her suit because she does so all the time.
[Image ID: The first image shows a full-body reference of a Chinese Spider-person. Both the back and front are shown. The design is a play on the word 'China', as their body resembles a porcelain vase. Their body is mostly white and is adorned with blue floral patterns and has red highlights like the spider on their chest and on the tip of their toes. A blue dragon winds around their right arm. The description reads, "Cursed by an ancient spider spirit, this Spider-person now lives eternally within her own suit. It is possible to crumble the suit and escape, but it will regenerate around the inflicted individual."
The second image displays a more in-depth depiction of how the suit works. As the person throws a punch, the dragon on their arm moves along with the movement. The description reads, "the dragon swims through the procelain surface and is a sentient being itself. It sometimes moves along with attacks."
At the bottom, the face of the character is revealed. They have asian features and red eyes, along with moles on their nose. They have short hair that resembles a pixie cut. Next, the same illustration is shown, but with the character grimacing behind their mask. The mask is breaking apart, showing a portion of the character's face. The description reads, "the 'porcelain' can shatter when it takes too much damage. It will take time for the suit to regenerate." /.End ID]
