I got in touch with him recently and he shared some tidbits on the designs for the film including why he designed the web-shooters using bicycle parts and helping to design the "iconic suit." he also sent me some high-resolution images of his work.

"Concerning the web shooters, It had always been an issue with me how he could produce an infinite variety of web configurations with one push of a button. After discussions with the production designer, J. Michael Riva, I based the new web shooter nozzle with that of an actual spider." Natividad said.
"All have several 'spinnerets' which discharge the web for a respective function. I visualized there to be three or four independent nozzles which can intertwine the silk to form rope or construct a wide net, ect... It wasn't fashioned after a specific species of spider in this case.
"Ultimately, the web shooter hardware was to be constructed from items accessible to Peter Parker such as watch and bicycle parts."

"Conceptualizing a new Spiderman suit was the next challenge. Under the direction of costume designer Kym Barrett, we set out for a month or two exploring several departures for the character. However, after due diligence, it was time to combine some of those elements with the graphic of the iconic suit.
"Everyone felt that too much of a departure would upset the fans, so the evolution would be in the details and textures."

What do you think of the illustrations? Does it make sense to have the spinnerets?
