First, use some nippers if you have them, and remove the webbing from under Spidey's armpits. A knife would work too, but I found the nippers to be safers and easier. Then take Dazzler's guitar and glue it to Spidey. I've tried two different poses, so pick what your favorite it. Holding the guitar overhead, or off to the side! You'll need to cut off the guitar from Dazzler, and chop down the part of the guitar where her "explosion" is on the neck. Once that's cut out you'll have two guitar pieces, which you'll just glue on either side of his hand so it looks like he's holding it. Then the last thing is to create a few head spikes. Any debris you have lying around could work, but I used the underarm webbing and chopped tiny little triangles out of them. Three or so spikes is enough, and they're aligned like a mohawk, not all over his head.
Painting wise, I did NOT prime here, I saved much of the red upper body and the color of the guitar. What I'd do first is outline his vest in black. Take a look at the mini pics or some comic art, but it's a pretty normal vest. Once you have a black outline, you can plan everything else out. Use black for his wristbands. Outline a little white-ish "W" in between his vest, where the blue of his costume meets the red behind his vest. Spider-Punk is mostly blue his just his head and upper torso being red. Since his vest is sleeveless you'll need to use the same white to bisect his arms as well. Follow the pics. White around his ankles to be the border for his "sneakers."
Once everything is outlined, then you can paint proper. His vest is a darker gray. Blue for his lower half and bottom half of his arms. Touch up any red as needed around his head and upper half of his arms. Also do red for his feet under the white ankle line.
Details: Use white for the toe of his shoes, and two lines on the top of the foot for the laces. Grab silver for his head spikes, and also for some tiny dots on his wristbands (Also spikes, but these are too tiny to mod).
Then his spider-symbol. Do a black "Diamond" ish shame for the body. His spider looks more like a tick than a normal spider. Do four thick legs off of each side of the body, slowly. Then give a tiny brushstroke downwards off of each leg to finish. Then if you're feeling spicy, use a white to add the letters to his back. F at the top, N on the bottom, S on the left, and M on the right. Make it as tiny and spread out as possible, since you want to leave room to make the "X" in between the letters. I HIGHLY recommend doing the letters first as it's easier to fit two lines between letters, then to fit 4 letters around 2 lines.
