Keep Dylan Brock away from Miles

I don’t hate Dylan Brock. I think the idea of a kid who hates Spider-Man but loves Venom to be fun. I like how he is and honestly, I have nothing against him except how he was born but again, that is not on his character.

Just keep him away from Miles.

Now the Spidey-Office(which Venom is apart of. don’t get it twisted) has been pushing legacies of everything Spider-Man. Of course there is Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen. Those are the obvious ones. Then you have Starling.

Tiana Toomes. Granddaughter of Adrian Toomes and arch enemy of Tombstone. She has been sort of Miles’ Black Cat except she is just a more ruthless anti-hero than she is just bad.

Spider-Zero who is essentially Madame Web.

Her job is to watch over the Web of Life. She goes as far to say that after the first one was destroyed, the new one needs to be taken care of by the new Spider-people i.e. not Peter Parker Spider-people.

Kraven’s son or clone of Kraven.

Who looks exactly like Kraven but without the suicidal tendencies. Kraven killed himself again after yet another Hunt, but this time he had the decency to pass on his legacy to his son.

Ana Kravinoff, Kraven’s Inhuman and self-renounced daughter.

Billy Connors or Billy Connors’ clone since the Lizard ate his son and had to clone him because Slott said whoops.

And Normie Osborn who was already taken over by the Carnage Symbiote. And he is the grandson of Norman Osborn, son of Harry and Liz Allen. He is the heir to Alchemax. And he is essentially Norman Osborn Jr.

And mark my words. There probably will be some girl or boy or someone coming out of that Black Cat book who Felicia is going to mentor or some shit. Superior Spider-Man appears to be ending soon and that conclusion seems to be that classic Otto is back.

Now you may think I am tripping but this has been accross 4 different books in under a year. And within that year, Dylan was created. And then all of the sudden Sleeper shows up. And both Dylan and Miles get roped in Absolute Carnage together. In fact, Miles was literally only solo other character outside of Eddie’s Venom that has been involved with Absolute Carnage for three issues. Everyone else has given the issue only 1 even fucking Amazing Spider-Man.

And I will be real with Venom fans. I don’t think it’s any coincidence that, in a period where there is no way Anne and Eddie could have had sex, Dylan was conceived through dubious means such as giving birth via Symbiote bonding. Cates created Dylan for a reason. Cates was the only writer who featured Miles Morales after Bendis left Marvel and his last issue with the character ended until Miles own book came about. That Dylan is around the age of Miles just like Normie just like Billie and just like Tiana. Mayday or Annie May ain’t even the twinkle in Peter’s eye yet in Marvel 616 yet. Miles getting transported to 616 in a rather crude way. And suddenly the majority of Spider-Man’s rogues start having kids around his age and shit or their kids have powers or are in positions to have powers?

Billy has been in Spider-Man for as long as his father and now he gets his father’s Lizard powers? Normie was created over 30 years ago and now he suddenly starts being crucial to the storyline? Kraven has always been...fruitful but now he suddenly has two heirs to his name that would look at Miles and say it’s destiny or some shit. Dylan’s hamfisted origin turns to a writer just quickly and hastily trying to create an foil to Miles with a ‘here, Eddie for no logical reason has a kid too.’ Then you suddenly bring in the other symbiote child of Venom and Eddie that isn’t evil? Vulture now has a granddaughter and as soon as the Web of Life is destroyed, there is a new one with a new watcher? Naw. Spidey-office, this is not a coincidence. It is purposeful.

How to draw a fist! 

hope this tutorial helps, anon!! a lot of this is a result of experimentation and seeing what looks best based on your picture. what i’m essentially doing is relying on the overall “mood” bg colour tie everything together cohesively by putting the local colours over it on the “soft light” filter. the other changes i do, such as the blue light on him and the flavour elements are all based around making it more cohesive, e.g. the glow from the pool is all over the background AND the subject, instead of just the pool, pulling them together, if that makes sense! 

of course this also relies on having some sense of what a realistic version of your scene would look like - for this comic i looked up “pool scenes night” on google to gather references i could take the colours from, and looked up lighting references for the way light would hit a face if coming from the bottom, stuff like that.

the other example is from a commission i did: 

in this case, the lighting situation has a lot more light, and isn’t as atypical as pool-at-night lighting. so it was easier to rely on my usual method of colour layering, i.e.

local colour on multiply (as opposed to soft light) 

monochrome shading on normal

again, experiment experiment experiment! hope this helps!
