Released to critical acclaim with equally impressive box-office success ( $615 million and counting ), Marvel/Sony Pictures Animation’s much anticipated Spider-Man : Across The Spider-Verse is the sequel to the equally fantastic 2018 Academy Award winner Spider-Man : Into The Spider-Verse. It’s an understatement to say that the stunning visuals are the highlight of the film, and Across The Spider-Verse expands and tops the high bar of the first film, showcasing a story that takes place across 6 uniquely different worlds.

As I wrote about in my earlier post on the Visdev Art Of Across The Spider-Verse, the many concept artist/character designers have been proudly showcasing their art created for the film on social media, and most, if not all of them are now neatly collected in this official art book for easy perusal and enjoyment. Running at over 220 pages, the book covers character designs, color keys/scripts, set/prop designs and more. I’ll let the splendid art work speak for themselves –

Now that the art book for #AcrossTheSpiderVerse is out, I wanted use the art featured in the book to talk a little about how we incorporate the visdev artists' beautiful color keys with our lighting workflow. A short thread ! (1/9)- pic.twitter.com/JKYlVr9DJs

It goes without saying that I am very proud to have contributed to the making of this film, and a large part of the satisfaction is because of the great opportunity to work with all the amazingly talented artists who created just astounding art pieces for this movie. This is their book and story. Very highly recommended.
