Well, here we come with another SSM pic, just to give you an idea of where some of my fanfic ideas are going. This one, I daresay, is a little bit obscure, mostly because I'm not really planning to do much with him, outside of an initial appearance. But I came up with a design inspiration and was eager to test it out. So for your viewing pleasure (for lack of a better term), I give you Carnage.

I actually found myself going to a lot of sources of inspiration when coming up with the design for this. Obviously, when you're thinking of an animated series, you have to give some thought to how well something can be animated. And when it comes to Carnage, his original look has just NEVER been conducive to an animated program. I mean, the suit's constantly moving and shifting, there's tendrils and droplets of Symbiote goop whipping around and sloughing off of him. So unless you did him entirely in CG, it would be virtually IMPOSSIBLE to even ATTEMPT. That's why, when he appeared in the 90s series, they never even bothered to TRY.

Still, the question became, how could I come up with a stable design that could be easily animated, but would still retain the spirit of the original design? And that was when a lot of things started coming together. The main thing I came up with, that I really wanted to try, was how his chest looks. It kind of has the traditional goopy Symbiote look going on, but if you look very closely, you'll see that it forms a crude shape. Some thing that, with this generation, has been watered down and diluted to the point where it's virtually indistinguishable from the others. And seeing how it ties in with the rest of the costume, it actually works pretty well.

The hands and feet were easy, taking a lot of cures from the Ultimate Spider-Man incarnation of Carnage (the clawed hands and talon toes were also kind of a nod to Greg Weisman and Gargoyles as well). But at the same time, I still wanted to have that "symbiotic tendril look" to be somewhat represented. But what was a way that would work that would be animated easily? That's when I remembered Anti-Venom and how, when he was introduced, he had spikes and spines jutting out from his shoulders, his arms his legs, you name it. I remember thinking at the time, that was kind of an odd look for him, but with Carnage, I actually thought it would work quite well. So I gave it a shot. Offhand, I'd say it works.

But, as always, don't take MY word for it. Feel free to let me know what you think. And if this should get you interested in hearing more of my fanfic ideas (and hopefully helping me out), so much the better. Either way, look forward to hearing from you. ^_^
