Spider-Man: Miles Morales allows players to make full use of the character’s web-swinging, invisibility, and Venom powers, all of which can give players some excellent screenshot opportunities. One Spider-Man: Miles Morales fan took their in-game photography a step further, though, as a screenshot was adapted into an amazing piece of art.
Much like Marvel’s Spider-Man, the Miles Morales-led spinoff has a deep photo mode for players to explore. With several lighting options, filters, and backgrounds to choose from, players can capture gorgeous shots whenever they want to inside the game. As such, it makes sense that some excellent Spider-Man: Miles Morales screenshots could be used as a basis for an art project, though anyone looking to recreate their photos will have a hard time competing with art_of_dano’s creation.
Though the artist does not show which of their Spider-Man: Miles Morales screenshots inspired the art piece, it must have been quite the capture. In the artwork, Miles Morales can be seen posing as if he was about to shoot his left web-shooter, indicating that the photo was likely captured mid-swing. While it is certainly cool to see how the game inspired this Spider-Man fan, the artwork itself is even more awesome — so much so that it is hard to imagine that the piece was created with only colored pencils.

The piece from art_of_dano depicts Miles Morales in his classic suit, with the black and red outfit being given a blue hue that adds to the detail of the art. The expert shading is impressive enough on its own, but the texture work takes the image to a new level, as the dots on Spidey’s gloves stand out greatly when compared to his glossy eyes or the web pattern on his mask. With the artist air brushing a white square onto the paper before drawing Miles, the use of perspective and angles to make it look like Spider-Man is leaving the page is incredibly well done.
This is hardly the first post from a creative Spider-Man: Miles Morales player, as different kinds of art have been shared thus far. Aside from drawings like this and photos like the ones that inspired the art piece being shared online, some fans have created Spider-Man: Miles Morales skin concepts. With the latest outfit design showing what a Miles-themed version of the Spider Armor Mk. 2 would look like, the Spider-Man fanbase is clearly made up of some talented individuals.
Seeing art_of_dano’s post receiving so much praise is great to see, as it clearly would have taken plenty of effort and time to create the artwork. With Insomniac’s next Spider-Man game likely still far away, perhaps more artistic gamers will dust off their colored pencils to help kill the time.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales is available now on PS4 and PS5.
