      @johanna-kim @Chip-Valecek you could splay the toes a bit. That would make them look spring-loaded for action. The muscles might need more definition if you want to be in keeping with the modern day taste in ultra-cut exaggerated muscles of supers.

        Here is where I am at with Venom so far. Going to take a few days off on it while I work on my "Music" piece. Then this weekend I will work on Riot.

          @chip-valecek I like c but I feel you need to show tension in his hands also

            @chip-valecek I like the ooze on it. The chest and upper arms need reworked. Too much mass and the chest area needs reworked. You are also missing a back leg. I feel the pose is too dog like.

              @michaelmattocks Thanks for the feedback, the back leg is there, just cant see since it is dark. The bottom of him will go deeper into shadow. My process it to paint the local values and define the forms before I add the shadow and light. Once I finish Riot I will add that in. I do see what you are talking about with the chest. I will tweek that when I get back to him.

                I am late to the post, this looks fantastic, I have a 4 1/2 year old son who loves venom! We lost his figure under the couch once for a month and we all went crazy looking for it-Good Luck!

                  Face looks great! You can tell that’s what you want to be the focal point! What about creepy lighting reflected in the body? I love the subtle background. Totally going in the right direction with that. You’re headed in a great direction. Can’t wait to see it evolve.

                    Well here it is, all finished and submitted. I hate when I get to a point in a piece and the fire dies down for wanting to work on it. Usually I can just put them aside and come back a few weeks later and I am excited again. But I had to get this finished and submitted.

                          I just scrolled through all the submissions. I know I won't be picked, there are some amazing work there. All I can say is at least I tried.
