[[Sleepy Spider]] - Spidersona

Soooooo...

Did anyone else see Across the Spiderverse??? AND LOVE IT?!

BECAUSE I KNOW I DID!!!!

I’ve never made a proper spiderSONA. I made a Spiderverse OC a long long time ago, when the first movie came out; but I never committed to making an actual SpiderSONA, one that was a little more closely inspired by myself as the artist behind the art! Soooo, this was my big break into making a spidersona!! 

His name is Dominic O’Hara(Yes, THAT O’Hara), and his Earth is “Earth1218″. Visually, the style of his earth is all over the place. In the day time it’s pretty normal, a little painterly, mainly looks like the whole thing was coloured with pencil crayon, but at night it mixed in with this really sketchy, messy style to reflect the amount of crime that runs rampant when the sun goes down.The world is set in 2087, far in the future, though the architecture hasn’t changed too too much from our modern day in 2023. Sure, buildings are taller and look fancier, but, the streets are still messy, there is still a huge homeless population, and the world is still a mess with all sorts of our modern political issues. But the biggest one is the split between natural and supernatural!

In Dom’s world, there is a high population of fantasy creatures! Fairies and Fae, Unicorns and Dragons, Elves, Dwarves, Demons, Angels, all kinds of creatures! They mix and intermingle with humans often enough but they still keep a fair distance from one another. The magical folk tend to live in older tech societies in a secret wooded area outside of 1218 Earth’s New York, and Dom tends to travel between the city and the woods to fight crime and engage in magical political movements because that’s what he’s supposed to do.

Dom was briefly married to 1218 Miguel O’Hara, before becoming Sleepy-Spider. They met in work circles and hit it off, Miguel being recently widowed with his daughter, Gabriella, and Dom recently surviving a very toxic relationship. They started off small but after the first year of dating, ended up moving in together into Dom’s small home on the edge of town. They lived together for 10 years before either of them popped the question about marriage, because both of them didn’t feel ready for that. But eventually they agreed that they were ready, and decided to tie the knot officially in the books. 

The wedding was lovely, and the reception would have been even more lovely, if it weren’t rudely interrupted. 1218 Kingpin had a bone to pick with Dom and Miguel as their original contractor at Alchemax after Dom and Miguel left the company due to sketchy deals and a risk of pollution across the planet. King didn’t take their leave very well, so, the night of the reception, he came in, and did his worst. Having everyone in attendance killed, or left to die. That included Miguel and Dom. 

However, whilst bleeding out, a being touched Dom’s soul, gifting him with the spider powers and eternal life to fight the crimes that had done this horrible thing to him. Dom begged for Miguel to be saved instead, insisting he deserved it more than Dom did, but the higher being refused, telling Dom that their choice was final, and that they were sorry for his loss. Dom wakes up changed, and horrified, as the only survivor of the massacre on his family.

He took up the mantel of “Sleepy Spider”, but the Fae tend to call him “Immortal Spider”, and for the last 5 years since his wedding night, he has been New York’s one and only spider person. His powers are a little all over the place. He’s got heightened senses, increased agility and speed. For a 5 foot 4 man, he’s pretty strong, but he gets his ass kicked pretty much all the time. He’s got the ability to grow and retract extra arms and eyes, and he’s got sharp teeth!

He’s got a spiderverse watch, because Miguel 99 ended up grabbing an anomaly that came into his universe, freaking Dom out, but also opening his eyes to a whole new string of him. Miguel gave him a watch semi out of pity for what he’d gone through, and Dom comes and goes as he pleases when he wants. He’s not really a part of the elite teams that Miguel has put in place, but he will help when he can, he just doesn’t take orders from Miguel. He has a hard time being around Miguel 99 anyways, so, when he is around Miguel, he likes to dick around and be a pain in the ass. But he loves the kiddos, Gwen and Miles, Pav and Hobie, and all other young spider-folk. He’s a pretty alright mentor, despite his short temper. He gets along great with Gwen and Hobie, and he likes Miles and Pav’s attitudes in life. Overall. he’s a welcome addition, but he’s not a permanent addition.

He’s a funky fella, and I hope I can draw more of him in the future! But for now, here are some other doodles from his world- Not too too much! But some extra characters and things in his world.
