WRAPPING Things Up With A Surprise Ending !
The finished artwork you see here has a surprise ending! I documented step by step in previous posts the whole process of how and why this handmade illustration came to life. I took macro photographs of many stages along the way and the links to each phase are provided below.
I saved the best surprise for last so enjoy this post my Steemian Friends!
I wanted to share some of my favorite Behind the Scenes photographs here! Before I get to those, let me give you some references to what I used as inspiration for the style behind this original artwork of mine! I go into a bit more detail in one of the earlier phases linked below if you are interested to know more.

THE GRAND FINALE
My hat goes off to the hard work, precision, and high degree of skill it took for this next portion concluding our Amazing Spider-Man art series! All credit for the strong finish here goes to @ArtLover! I want to give him a special thanks and my eternal gratitude for collaborating with me to make this .gif file come together as well as it did.
Taking each of the photographs were hard to line up precisely, even with a framed border. So, I am sure it made his job that much more difficult layering the images. This gif file basically summarizes the whole process. So, without further ado, I present to you one of the proudest art collaborations I have done so far in my life! I truly hope you appreciate our hard work!
FEAST YOUR EYES UPON THIS!

@ArtLover's blog is full of interesting and creative digital art. His multimedia talents and character creations are definitely worth checking out! As you can see here, he obviously ROCKS at making gifs too! Some of his posts are tutorials which may help if you are an aspiring artist!
This is why I love Steemit! This is what community is and does! This collaboration has edified and uplifted both @Artlover and myself. I want to share some of our private chat setting all this up... who was reluctant to post his full gif on his own post!
ArtLover: I am not including the Full Process GIF result (in his own GIF post) respecting the hard work and dedication put into this drawing.
Me: I saved the best for last was YOUR GIF. I want you to be proud of making art with me.... it's OUR ART, OUR COLLABORATION synergy remember!
- Synergy = the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements, contributions, etc.; synergism.
Me: Even if we both don't get high payouts... i don't even care. Just figuring out how to be better and have higher quality and having fun and creating art with friends!
This is why we are here!ArtLover: Think about if we were neighbors...
Me: We are neighbors building a garden here together bro right... now!
This truly is to me what Steemit is all about! I am happy to be a part of this platform and look forward to building and growing together with you all! The art community is ever growing and I am happy to have connected with and made such good friends along the way. I have a feeling this is just the beginning for many of us! Thanks @ArtLover for lending your mad skills to helping a brother out and for sharing your love of art and kindness!

I have been mentally formulating my mandala/sacred geometry surreal abstract piece that you inspired me to do. Got a lot of art to work on and get the ball rolling! So many ideas, so much to do, and so little time! Thanks for stopping by bro! Lot's of things slip by me on my overcrowded feed. I need to go through my following list and weed it down to those I actually interact with or that have content i like. When i first started I followed EVERYBODY
Keep Up the Good Work and Steem on My Friend! Thanks for the email too! Sorry to hold things up hahah

I know what you mean! I learnt early not to follow everyone, but still, my feed is also a bit overloaded ;P ... The problem right now for me is bandwidth. I often run out, and even unfollowing people apparently uses bandwidth, lol.
I'm really looking forward to seeing that Mandala design!!

Sorry to hear about the bandwidth issues. As the platform grows there will be bigger bandwidth issues... but hopefully by then, we will all be super Powered Up!
I am having this concept of 3 in one... but still marinating on it! =)

Wow, this is brilliant. Nights like tonight, when you introduce me to Bob and then I find this brilliant post makes me very glad to be alive! Thank you @castleberry, you are very inspirational.
