>>10094210Looks like I'm gonna have to teach some of you faggots about comic book panelling.
The characters that are portrayed in black, have blue accenting to emphasize the musculature and tone of the body. If you tried coloring a character in all-black in the old comics, you'd have a blob of blackness with no definition.
The only exception to this is pic related, when Venom is clearly defined as a blue symbiote with black shading. If Mafex intended their venom to be McFarlane's, then they've failed quite miserably with black instead of blue.
Thankfully now we have modern comics where it's possible to shade black without relying on two-tones.
>>10094213If anything, this proves my theory about line-work, shading, and definition being important to discern in a work. You've clearly not opened a comic book in your life, so maybe stick to playing with your 5 dollar figures and let the real nerds talk.
>>10094215>They gave it a shade of blue like Venom's, didn't they? And the soles are blue, which doesn't translate well.Cel-shading is always a risk with figures. The reason it looks so shit is because the shading on the figure is airbrushed. So you have subtle hints of blue in a predominantly black figure and then a jarring blue on the soles. If Mafex did cel-shading throughout the figure, the soles wouldn't look so jarring.
