In the running for poster of the year, Japan’s art for Venom featured a profile view of the title character that pulls straight from the source material – especially that of the works of former Marvel artist Erik Larsen. As previously reported, Larsen was the artist who amplified Todd McFarlane‘s creation by adding a Thing-esque tongue to Venom’s already grotesque look. The Japanese one-sheet is horrific, showing plenty of teeth to go along with the Venom’s now-famous tongue.
Yet, as cool as it was, something wasn’t quite right. BossLogic took a stab at the art and jacked up the look by lengthening the symbiote’s tongue to better fit the comic book he was born from. As an added bonus, he also gave some love to Spider-Man by injecting the web-slinger into a fresh piece of art with his arch nemesis.
Give it a look:
The japanese #venom poster was KILLER.
I added some slight modifications to it. So hype for this movie! @VenomMovieJP @VenomMovie @SonyPictures pic.twitter.com/SXCie6NjhD
