I'm having a good deal of difficulty in making the Venom black and blue at the moment...can anyone give me suggestions? I'm finding it hard to combine the appropriate "blackness" of the symbiote with it being a) blue and b) significantly lighter in some portions.

If anyone here has been utterly confused by what happened to your thread, it was merged with another. I hope I am able to clear away any confusion. I wish to notify any moderator right now to please not do it again, but instead to notify that the tread would be closed and to continue the conversation in the other tread and include a link to it.

So is the guy who wanted a Venom .gif just gone now or what? I was kinda hoping for his input on the color scheme.

hey feceman!
could please you make me one of carnage
but with a black and dark purple color scheme

I could, but I'd need a Carnage .gif/picture to work from. Find the one you want, and I'd be happy to give it a shot.

and also one which is mostly black with red streaks

The animation automatically sped up; I'm not sure if you want it that way, but I can change it back if you don't. The red-to-black and vice-versa one is going to be a lot trickier.

EDIT: Shit, it's going to be a TON harder to do the second one you wanted. This one is going to take awhile unless I find a miracle way to do it.

Which programs are you using, FeceMan? I could possibly do it. I'll go through and take a look at it. It might need to be changed to CMYK, as I said I'll take a look and see what I can come up with.

in the words of Rob Schnieder:

"YOU CAN DO IT"

I'm still working on it, and I found a way that makes it easier than I thought.

why doesn't spiderman have a mouth when he's wearing the symbiote suit?

would venom have web powers if it didn't attach to spiderman first?

To answer your first question: just because.

To answer your second question: no.

Here's one I ended up with while messing around; wasn't sure if anyone liked it:

Because Spider-Man is not devious. The grin that both Venom and Carnage wear represent their devious ways/intentions.

The likely hood of that happening is very doubtful, but it could happen considering that the webbing is generated by the symbiont's own mass. But the answer is probably no because the symbiont may not have given Venom the web ability had it not been motivated by its obsession over Spider-Man, as well as Brock's obsession over Spider-Man.

but doesn't toxin have a mouth?
he's not evil is he?

by the way, thanks feceman

Toxin is the second good symbiote in Marvel.
First being Hybrid.

I think it's pretty much been stated in the comics that the only reason that the symbiotes have the ability to produce webbing is because they attached to Spider-Man. Expanding on this, one could say with some certainty that the knowledge of producing the web fluid was 'absorbed' by the symbiote, who then altered its form and certain areas of its genetic code.

However, the symbiotes have shown an ability to do things similar to what Spider-Man's webbing makes him capable of by extending tendrils and the like.

Yes but then How is Carnage capable of Changing the shape of his limbs. One might suggest by willing it. so then if the Host wanted to swing like spiderman could he not do what Carnage does?

Ok, come on guys.... try reading whats been posted throughout these forums. All of this stuff has been covered. All Symbiotes have the ability to form weaponry and whatnot out of their material. Whether they do it or not is up to the host. The Venom Symbiote can shoot webbing due to the fact that it was linked to Spider-Man for a while, who wanted it to shoot webbing. Yet, every other Symbiote in the Marvel Universe has shown some form of "webbing" mostly just using tendrils as a substitute.

The mouth bit is a representation of both the host and the Sym itself. The mouth usually symbolizes the deranged thoughts and whatnot that either have. In Toxin's case, notice the absence of a mouth when Pat is in control, due to his nobility and all for justice and what not. Yet Toxin does have a mouth to show he's more primitive, morally, and whatnot.

In the 90's show, I believe that Baron Mordo basically says that each symbiote bonds to its host in a slightly different manner, which is why Venom becomes massive and extremely muscular whereas Carnage remains lithe and wiry (this, of course, is also affected by the inherent differences in their bodies and artists' renditions, but, more often than not, Venom is rather bulky while Carnage is not).

Lasher grows Dr. Octopus-like tendrils out of his back, Scream has her prehensile hair, etc. The symbiotes are all different but similar. To answer your question: I believe that the symbiote certainly could form its hands into weapons like Carnage, but I don't think that Brock has ever wanted to do so. And, yes, the symbiote could perform an activity similar to webslinging if it wanted.

Just as a side note: it's retarded how each symbiote spawned is stronger than its parent. Especially with someone like Toxin, as it just gets ridiculous, especially with a good guy.
