See What Green Goblin and Web-Shooters Almost Looked Like in SPIDER-MAN Concept Art by James Carson

 Check out Spider-Man concept art by James Carson!

The most controversial change in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films is the use of organic web-shooters instead of Parker's homemade mechanical shooters. But the concept made it all the way to the prop design phase first trailer before it was dropped in favor of organic web-shooters.

Marc Webb in The Amazing Spider-Man restored the comic book's mechanical web-shooters and many fans were relieved. The other controversial change was using a static "Green Goblin" mask instead of a face. I already showed concept art of a prosthetic Green Goblin mask by Miles Teves and now I'm sharing unused designs by James Carson.

Concept art by Carson shows some other ideas for the Green Goblin costume and designs for the mechanical web-shooter and the web-shooter that grows from Peter Parker's body.

James Carson is a professional concept and storyboard artist who's worked on Hollywood blockbuster movies like X-Men: First Class (2011), Tim Burton's Superman and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).
