KRIS ANKA ADAPTS STEGMAN FOR ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE!
A BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK AT STEGMAN’S INCLUSIONS IN THE MEGA-HIT MOVIE!
We here at KLC PRESS were thrilled to see our founder and CEO RYAN STEGMAN’S designs for Spinneret and Spiderling appear in this summer’s Across the Spider-Verse, and we were particularly excited to find out that artist and designer Kris Anka made it all happen!
This week, Kris revealed an inside look at his process for bringing the characters to life in the film, and the ways in which his designs aligned and deviated from STEGMAN’S!
It’s a fascinating look inside a movie bursting with amazing designs, and we hope to see more of Ryan and Kris’ work in Beyond the Spider-Verse, as well!
