Venom

...40 hours later...IT'S DONE.

It's been a while since i've drawn anything MARVEL related, so, I wanted to challenge myself with taking on Venom, and holy crap on a cracker, did I ever! It took me 6 hours JUST to do the sketch and line art. Then..obviously the rest is coloring, blending, blurring, making the goopey parts on the skin and the drool, putting detail in the tongue and teeth, etc. I followed 's tutorial for doing the details in this one and used some of his photoshop brushes as well, as I wanted to make him realistic while still trying to keep some of the comic feel.

I stepped WAY out of my drawing comfort zone on this one (realism kicks my butt every time, hence why it took me so long) but, that's how you grow, right? I am extremely happy with how the mouth and tongue came out..and I can definitely see places where I need some improvement. I'm sure I could add more detail to the whole thing, but some parts were just..not turning out how I wanted, and i'm scared i'll end up over doing it, end up hating it and scrapping all my hard work. Besiiiides, I can always save some ideas and do up another one sometime.
