Description
I haven't kept up well enough to know how they portray Venom these days, but the "living suit" portrayal I remember always seemed a little too obedient to me for the horrific, insidious nature of the symbiote. I wanted to draw the creature as I interpret it -- As an allegory for a profound absence of self-control.Feel like I should've pushed the expression harder. Not sure how I can fix it now
11" x 14", Micron 03 and Sharpies.
Venom belongs to Marvel Comics.

Is he crying? I thought he wanted and enjoyed the power of Venom. Great work none the less.

I just figured it'd sure bring tears to -my- eyes if I coughed up a foot-long alien tongue
I also stirred in a little of my own interpretation of their relationship; that the Venom-entity offers great power and liberation from a regimented life, but a normal person could hardly be prepared for the mental and physical prices that come with living as a host-vessel for a bloodthirsty amoral alien parasite. I don't know if Marvel's ever really approached from that angle, but Venom's a magnificent outlet for it.
