This venom fan art below was based on allentotingski.deviantart.com 's unfinished sketch.

Didn't put the logo at the chest coz it's too distracting for me. :)

***********************************************************************************
Here are a few relevant tips for digipainting stuff like this:

-As Brad Rigney would have it, I used color dodge, textured brushes, smudge tool, and accented edges to make this image.
I used accented edges to darken edges to make details feel like they're really embossed. I do this on a duplicate layer then I erase the parts where the effect looks bad.

- Flipping the canvas horizontal is already a common practice to check for mistakes but this time, flipping vertically proved to be very useful especially for hands.

-Be careful of specular highlights. Try to simplify forms into simpler shapes like spheres and cylinders before you decide on where to put the highlights.

-Rim lights again to save your ass!
