When designing The Lizard for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Insomniac Games explained how they drew inspiration from nature to create the reptilian antagonist. According to a blog post on the PlayStation website by Insomniac Senior Art Director Jacinda Chew, the team used actual lizards as inspiration while creating Curt Connors’ alter persona in order to preserve a feeling of realism while still paying homage to his comic book roots. For our investigation, “we examined a lot of lizard skin,” Chew stated. In reality, lizards have extremely dry skin, which is a problem. The majority of individuals who observed our lizard originally remarked that “he’s not slimy enough.” However, I believe it is a reference to how people often envision a lizard to look. Although he has lizard skin, it is more shinier than what you would see on a genuine lizard.
We also gave him spikes, Chew continued. Because certain lizards may have a soft, cuddly appearance, I wanted to find real-world examples of lizards that had a more ancient appearance for design inspiration. I was searching at references that were spikier, snake-like, and more aggressive. We also desired eyes that have a more animal appearance. When cats are awake at night, their pupils enlarge. We gave him those sorts of eyes, which appear smaller in the presence of light and are actually responding to it. We spent a lot of effort figuring out how to do it on the PS5 in real time. The design of The Lizard in Spider-Man 2 was based on the comics, but Chew also discussed how the Insomniac crew added its own touches to the enduring character. When considering a Marvel character, “the first thing we always do is reference the comics,” Chew added. “And then we work with Marvel to add our own twist to it from there. It may result from the gameplay or the storyline.
A distinctive feature of The Lizard’s design that sets him apart from his comic book persona was impacted by both the gameplay and story. “Chew remarked, “There’s a more traditional Lizard, which has the lab coat, the trousers.” He is human-sized and smaller. Additionally, he can talk to Peter. However, our version of the lizard is in every aspect leaner, meaner, larger, and greener. He has no garments on, and he has no longer any humanity. As a result, we are unable to speak with him. That is a significant difference. We are aware that viewers are interested in seeing Lizard in his lab coat before seeing what transpires and how he grows. We enjoy leaving players clues by scattering breadcrumbs.
For the benefit of any gamers or fans who might be concerned, Lizard will occasionally be spotted in Spider-Man 2 sporting his timeless, recognisable lab coat. The Lizard’s newest, more horrific appearance will try to give the character a more lethal and horrifying interpretation that draws on his animalistic nature. “Lizards really move quite subtly; they are not that frightening. In the comics, Lizard is more erect and bipedal, making it seem more human, according to Chew. He is bipedal but yet needs to keep part of that lizard appearance, which is why he has that curled back. His movements are intended to convey a fast-feeling but ponderous pace. A lot of credit should go to the animation crew for capturing such strength, power, and speed.
