Ultimately, the filmmakers wisely decided to stick with the original 1990s comic interpretation of the character, and the film succeeds because of that.
However, conceptual design is about bringing in new ideas, sometimes to win, sometimes as a stepping stone to a better vision. There are 10 items here venom Concept art created by some of today’s most talented artists. Some choose to stay true to the source material, while others veer to something completely different.

david masson
Marvel Studios concept designer David Masson perfectly captured the spirit of Venom in this pre-production, bringing the character’s most famous physical features onto the canvas, particularly his mouth. and the iconic tongue.
The overall design of Venom will change slightly due to the filming of the 2018 hit movie, most notably the height of the facial structure, but the serrated and blade design will remain the same. Great shot.
Jared Krichewski
Jared Krichevsky has worked on some great character and creature designs over the years, and his portrayal of Venom is both abstract and macabre. While purists may condemn this part of the concept for being so different from the original material, it really tries to steer symbiote design in a unique direction.
The upward symbiote sequence is a great highlight and this extends to Venom’s eyes as well. A row of crooked, jagged teeth helps convey the notion that the characters are disconnected, making it nearly impossible to keep them together from a psychological standpoint.
Matt Millard
matt millard has some venom There are concept designs in his collection, but this particular piece looks like it was taken directly from the pre-production pages of the 2018 film. Urban setting goes a long way towards the sale of the film’s horror film noir aesthetic.
Venom’s posture and appearance feel streamlined and authentic, with realistic proportions and some exaggerated parts like the hands more prominent. The refined, rounded top is a far cry from Venom’s traditional oval shape, but it’s an excellent first-class concept design.
Ivan Dedorf
Ivan Dedorf appears to be working on an abstract version of Venom in the real world, not Venom in the comics. Here, De Dove paints Venom’s spider chest badge on his symbiote, giving only the faintest hint – perhaps of a Venom/Spider-Man confrontation.
In terms of scale, Venom appears to resemble his comic self, but his symbiote’s usual criss-cross and criss-cross texture makes the creature feel more alien than it’s represented. of the host itself.
Brent Hollowell
Brent Hollowell puts a full emphasis on Venom’s tongue in this conceptual design—perhaps a bit too much. Overall, Venom seems to stand out, which fans of the series are sure to endorse. The shape of the eyes, elongated jaw, and rows of teeth give it a more realistic feel.
However, the unusually long tongue somewhat distracts from the impact of the shot, perhaps to make the creature look more intimidating. Either way, it’s an excellent piece of concept art.
logic boss
BossLogic is no stranger to great fan art and concept design, and his take on Venom is interesting for a number of different reasons. It’s one of the few pieces that features Eddie Brock in human form, along with a white website launcher in his hand.
The artist focuses on the real subject—Eddie Brock by Karen Lutz, who seems to be pulling the symbiote out of her face. It’s a strange role taking on a character that keeps turning back and forth between silence and eerie horror.
Ian Joyner
Ian Joyner decided to go in a whole new direction for Venom’s interpretation, seemingly mimicking the character’s appearance in a parasitic life form. The beaded eyes do not resemble the traditional comic book version of the character, nor does the mouth open with rows of vertical teeth.
While it remains questionable whether this concept design will be approved for a movie version of the character, it’s a way of imagining Venom more suited to the gruesome horror genre than a monster. Interesting sci-fi objects.
Landis Albion
Landis Albion swaps Eddie Brock for Peter Parker in the scene where it tries to rip the symbiote from its body, which could be a direct nod to the original comic book plot. Peter’s face of pain mixed with fatigue showed that the symbiote was winning the conflict.
The symbiote tear on the suit, especially on the arm, is an interesting highlight, suggesting that Peter is doing his best to get rid of it once and for all. The background includes an ominous web in a dark environment, adding to the creepy element.
DNEG
DNEG (formerly Double Negative) is one of the most beloved animation and visual effects companies in the film industry and their concept design is eye-catching in their own right. This particular shot is part of a concept series created for Venom, in which Eddie Brock clashes with his symbiote.
With a traditional drawing style and glossy wax ink to distinguish humans from aliens, Venom’s facial elements match its broken alien physiology. Simple yet so effective, it deserves a comic book cover.
Zahid Raza Khan
Zahid Raza Khan for Venom is Hollywood Venom monster In this particular concept design, there is a rounder, more animal-like head with a prominent open mouth. His explanation removes many of Venom’s teeth and focuses instead on the physiology of the jaw, which suggests an extremely powerful bite.
Saliva and tongued tongues help sell the look, but the protruding chin tongue is a new element that hasn’t been seen before. Viewers know it’s Venom by the Lovecraftian Gothic chest badge.
