Hey sir, met you and Olivier at NY Comic Con--great work

I think your figures are solid, great sense of weight--be careful with tangents (lines that seem to flow into one another that shouldn't)--for example, Kane's right thigh into Ben Reilly's ass, or Kane's flowing hair into the spider symbol at top

Having tilted the spider symbol, you've allowed for little lines to cut in and out of the figures and endanger the clarity of form: at Ben's right palm underneath the fingers, and at his right thigh--it's accurate to the shape of the symbol, but distracting in those places

There are minor anatomical issues--Kane's right hand seems to be crushed, broken toward the little finger; it would be nice to open up the hand, show each finger independent of one another, a cleaner silhouette (reads easier from a distance); in addition, the way Peter and Ben cross feet is great, but obscuring Ben's heel behind Peter's makes his foot seem flat, like a flipper

Ben's extended arm is easier to read than Peter's arm, enclosed within the shape of his torso
Inking Peter's arm will be tricky, mostly because you've delineated the rest of the image so completely that requiring of an inker to draw with ink instead of trace will seem sudden, and an inexperienced inker will probably screw it up; you can help by defining the shape of his forearm and the line weights of the hand, the fingers, which will go a long way to communicating to the reader exactly how the arm is built (not to mention the inker, who is going to make or break the pose, based on the handling of that arm)

I like the way you weave blacks along a figure to create that shiny, muscles-under-spandex look, very cool; however, when pieces of the same material overlap, and your blacks contact one another, they are want to create a pattern that can potentially conflate the form

Squint at the image, relax your eyes, and see if the areas where your blacks overlap are the clear shapes that will communicate the bend of the leg, the arc of the torso, the underside of each arm--see if the patterns you've created ever merge and form shapes that might distract from the underlying structure, shapes that you didn't intend
Reconsider how the light source is hitting the figures, how ink might change things (depending on the competence of the inker and the tools used)
If there's anything that feels a *little* off, listen to that instinct

Ultimately I really love the style, I love the idea of the piece, and I think your execution is professional--It's up to you where you go from here

I hope none in the above feels caustic, or unsubstantiated, as that's certainly not my intent--I'm nitpicking a confident, well-considered image that caught my eye because overall, it works

Cheers,

Matt Triano
