Create poster artwork for the upcoming film, Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Here's a thank you statement from Sony Pictures to all the creators:
# LET THERE BE CARNAGE
There’s only one way to describe this year’s Venom Fan Art Contest: MAXIMUM #CARNAGE.
With thousands of artists submitting from over a hundred countries, there were simply too many incredible works of art to choose from. Your art has inspired us in ways we did not expect. We knew Venom fans were talented, but we didn’t anticipate so many complex and badass pieces of art to come in.
The biggest fan of your work remains our very own Eddie Brock @TomHardy who delighted in sharing some of your art on his Instagram and loved getting to judge the contest again this year.
As Tom finalizes picks for the winners, we would like to thank you for making this year’s contest a wild, bloody, savage success.
With love and carnage,
