My favourite Spider-Man villain/antihero - Venom. Always loved his twisted character from the comics, animated series and Playstation 1 Spider-Man games I used to play all the time as a kid. Wanted to portray him in my own horrifying light and took a lot of inspiration from deep sea fish. Also had to pay homage to Dan Luvisi's amazing Venom piece which I've always loved. Thanks and let me know what you think!
