The Spider-Verse films have transformed the world of animated comic book adaptations, raising the bar for visual storytelling and inspiring countless artists around the globe.

One of them is 16-year-old Preston Mutanga, better known as LegoMe_TheOG. After catching the internet’s attention with his LEGO-style remake of the Across the Spider-Verse trailer—created entirely in Blender—he went on to contribute to the official LEGO sequence in the film itself. Now, he's shared a new project: a custom Miles Morales model paired with a line-work animation test, paying tribute to the film’s signature aesthetic.

Preston’s latest work goes beyond character animation—this time stepping into environmental storytelling. His newest piece is an environment test inspired by the Gwen Stacy construction site scene from Across the Spider-Verse, and it’s a clear nod to the film’s atmospheric concept art.

Rendered in Blender, the test captures the bold graphic style of the Spider-Verse films—layered halftone textures, sharp lighting contrasts, and chromatic aberration effects that bring the frame to life. The scene features Gwen standing in a construction zone wrapped in caution tape, much like in the film, but reimagined through Preston’s own lens.

It's more than just a visual match—he’s beginning to explore how space and mood work together in animation. From the scattered cables on the ground to the glowing sunset pouring through the steel beams, every element plays into the stylised realism that defines the Spider-Verse universe.

And it’s exciting to watch. Yipee indeed.
