We have all wondered at one point or another how it worked! When I made this, I wanted to settle things once and for all. I hope people like it!

@@JonahLobeDraws would this also apply to Symbiotes like Carnage who have bonded to the bloodstream? He’s canonically regrown his head at least once that I’m aware of so how do you think that’d work?

@@JonahLobeDraws yeah true. im still confused as to how the rest of his body would fit inside venom, because isnt venom like much bigger than eddie. so how would eddies arm and legs reach the end of venoms arms and legs if his head is all the way at the top?

​@@cobalt82342 when Venom first appeared he wasn't bigger than Eddie

​@@cobalt82342I have two guesses, The first one is that it doesn't fit but the symbiotes feels all of the host's mouvements and replicate them at the same time And the second one (the one I prefer) is that since we know symbiotes can mess with their hosts brain maybe they kind of connect their body to the host's brain, the host's body is still in there and can't move but the host only feels the symbiote like it's his own body

I think Kirby that carnage does this a LOT

Carnage definitely does this, Venom most likely just connects its biomass directly into his eyes so he can see through it. I feel like the movies take the best physiology approach since when transform they are coating their host inside and out, and using their orifices and skin pores to move externally and internally.

@@JonahLobeDraws if I'm not mistaken carnage is the only symbiote that can do that because he/it is his/it's host's blood

i also assume that symbiotes could do that, since it gets implicit a lot of times in comics, and even other media like Spider-man unlimited. It even "makes more sense" in a way. But yeah it probably depends on a lot of factors, mostly the creative direction of the story

I mean this makes sense, in Spider-Man Unlimited Venom and Carnage while bonded to their hosts are able liquify their bodies to travel in small spaces, nooks and cranies like drains and cracks.

Yes exactly Sterling! I’m glad you got something out of it, and that it piques yr imagination! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thanks Jordan! I don’t have much support on Patreon, so I’m not sure if I can continue, but I am glad that you appreciate these videos! Also, The yhing is one of the most influential movies I’ve ever seen.

Thanks so much Bane! Hope you enjoy my other videos too.

Hi Jackipoo! I think Carnage is bonded in a unique way, ie on a DNA level, so there's something *extra* going on with him. And yeah, it's difficult trying to come up with real-world rules that govern such wildly changing subject matter... Hope you get to watch my other vids too man.

Might explain why symbiote muscle density and height vary so much due to the hosts build (excluding carnage due to him being bonded to Cletus’s bloodstream.)

I love this thought process, Aaron. you have watched my other videos I hope?

@@JonahLobeDraws This was my first time watching your videos. I’ll make sure to watch more.

You know, I never watched that! I appreciate the recommendation, I will check it out now.

Day Shift was great, really fun movie, and Jamie Foxx was a delight.

Richard I’m honored that you picked it up!! Really appreciate the kind words about it. I am working on an original comic now, getting Kickstarted in a few months - I’d love to have you on my team then! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I love that Jacob. So creative, right up my alley!

Hi Dominick! Welcome to my channel! It sounds like you're a creature designer - you should *absolutely* watch my Creature Design videos here on KZfaq, they should give you a lot of answers you're looking for.

Such an interesting thought, thank you Benjamin for commenting and subscribing!

Thanks Jacob!!

Yayyy Alvin! Thanks for commenting and watching buddy.

Gonna miss this series, storm was my favourite piece🫡

Thanks Josuke! So glad you enjoy this, this is what I try to do all the time with my videos, I’m glad it comes across.

Thank you Dogs! Experience was long and intense, which is why I wanted to share the journey here on KZfaq. Thanks for watching!

Yessss amazing Pupz! What is it?

Nuno thank you! I really appreciate you watching and commenting.

Thanks so much Frank for watching and commenting! Hopefully I'll be able to make more of these videos, just need a few more Patreon members...

Thank you so much Rafael! I will continue to do so as long as I can!

Thank you Kaien! I believe that’s creativity is essential to everyone, so whenever I create these videos, my intention is to demystify the artistic and creative process, to hopefully help others in their own creativity, art, and world building!

Thanks so much Jesse! Hey as long as you’re following here and on Instagram, I am more than happy. Hope you’re able to get less broke soon my friend! Take care.

My pleasure. Hope you followed - I'm doing Groot soon!

Thanks so much Gilang!! Hoping to produce more v soon.

Thanks Luca! A sense of realism is important to me, otherwise, this is all just magic

Thank you Andrea! Have some cool stuff coming, stay tuned...

My pleasure! I hope you have gotten a chance to watch some of my other videos?

@@JonahLobeDraws sure did

Thank you Tacos! 🙌🏻

Hooray thanks Meanboy!!

Thank you - that was my task with this book! Have you gotten a copy yet? Or have you watched my other videos??

Hi Frofrozzty! I imagine it mostly blends into the clothing, or hides underneath the clothing, but yes, I imagine a part of it goes inside the host. It's also conceivable that it might wrap around its host very tightly and replicate the appearance of their skin, so that they look just like themselves but are just a little thicker in the waistline?

In the comics it would look like clothes.

Chris thank you for watching and commenting! So glad I could feed your mind with these videos. I'm hoping to make more, but I have very few Patreon members at the moment. Would like to do Hulk or the Skrull next if it's possible.

Thank you Jimmfy for the follow and comment! Welcome to the channel.

Much love Mike, thanks for watching and commenting!

Theirs a few interesting abilities Venom and Carnage show the Klyntar are capable of which just adds to them. The alien race has a bootleg form of Spider Sense because they don’t have eyes in the traditional sense. They can essentially see through every inch of their body and so can react to something behind them so long as it’s within “view”. They can also share information with their host but while working together they can share information with others as well. Cassidy used Carnage to implant the thoughts and feelings and memories he has of every kill he ever committed into his psychiatrist which drove him insane getting a peak into the mind of a super powered serial killer.

That's awesome Broomer. It's sort of like spiders or octopuses, they have extra senses built into their skin.

My pleasure, Alexander! Have you watched my other videos yet?

@@JonahLobeDraws Have really enjoyed watching your other videos-my personal favorite is of Wolverine’s anatomy. The dynamic pose, thoughtful approach to blending the finer details of the character with a creative life-like anatomical realism brought the character illustration to life.

welcome Nora, so glad you enjoyed this and welcome to my channel. As to your question, I think the symbiote itself consumes what's eaten, not the host, as human's stomachs are not nearly as... adept or voracious... as symbiote stomachs.

I’ve heard someone speculate the way they eat in the ultimate universe. They theorized that the suit ground organic matter down until the nutrients were small enough to be absorbed by and and through the hosts skin. Disgusting! Lol

An interesting question. While I'm loathe to say that these two organisms truly become one - as that would defeat the whole idea of them being separate entities - I would imagine that the Symbiote would be capable of "pulling the person apart" using enzymes and proteins (while simultaneously preserving their psyche and protecting them from any pain) and carrying it within itself, using its own systems to keep everything everywhere alive. While in this state, however, I would imagine that the Symbiote would be hugely weakened - since it's forced to subvert its normal physical routine and re-route its own systems to become life support - and that the human host would be essentially "asleep" and almost completely unable to react (as its own brain has been dissolved). After the experience, the Symbiote would have to rely on its physiological memory of its host to "put them back together again," most importantly the neurons in the head. This probably wouldn't be difficult for the Symbiote, however, as they're used to perfecting shapes, even upon just seeing them. What do you think Swordsman?

@@JonahLobeDraws Aside from the host being asleep, (as it doesn't mesh well with what shown in the comics themselves) I really like the idea you proposed and it would help balance out the power creep that has had happened ever since symbiotes became a weird hybrid of cosmic and supernatural ideas. (though I do love Donny's run and some stuff from Al's run, I honestly wish Venom would've stayed street level) Also them being able to hold onto the psyche/brain itself is a nice logical extension of them being able to hold onto a host's soul if their bond was strong enough and the idea overall gives a nice unique spin compared to other characters with healing factors like Wolverine, Deadpool or even the Hulk.

Yay thank you Skellybobs! I’m glad that my thought process is so useful to you, as you know, I think the best fantasy is all born from reality. Stay tuned for more on the comic!

Much love I super appreciate that! Hope I can do more too - if you’d like to join my Patreon fam I’d love to have you!

Yayyy Demetris you’re amazing, so glad you picked up the book! If we ever meet I’ll sign it.

I looked for it. Where can I get it?

@@joshreichert6564 lol Josh it’s available wherever books are sold! Try Amazon or Barnes and Noble. Or are you looking for a signed copy? You can pick up one of those from my Big Cartel store

I just now bought book from Amazon. I wanted a signed copy, but the cartel store was sold out! 😢 just glad I now have one to read & see your amazing art up close 😊 TY.

@@philcamacho127 Sorry about that Phil! I just made more available, but I'm glad it's coming to you regardless. Hope you love it bro!!

Yeah that’s definitely one direction we couldve gone! Marvel didn’t want it

What about the symbiote's ability to absorb items into their bodies like a pocket dimension? Could that be used to explain how they eat things without it going into the host's body?

I think that is what happens with Carnage because they are a perfect match, but pretty much everyone else is still inside with the symbiote being a suit.

Thank you! I would have loved to go deeper, but I did not want to sound preachy or anything

Thank you Tilt! Hope you enjoy the rest of this series too.

Thanks Dragon!

Ooh I love that thinking keratin teeth!! I would totally believe it

Thank you so much Oggelicious!! I really appreciate your support, and I’m so glad you like the book. I am kickstarting my own comic book later this year, stay tuned!!

Wasabi thank you dude!! I will keep a lookout for you on Patreon. 🙌🏻

I think there is no substitute for studying from nature! Everything I learned about creature design, I learned by looking at real creatures, and drawing them as best I can. Look up images of animals online and try to sketch them, both their gesture and their details. 🙌🏻

@@JonahLobeDraws thanks for the feed back I’ll try that out.

I be like this thought process! I agree, it could’ve gone either direction. But in that case, wouldn’t they essentially just become one single organism? And would never, ever have to separate, or even be able to?

Symbiosis involves two beings complementing each other, but remaining as independent beings, not just merging into one,

@@ogs5276 right, precisely

@@JonahLobeDraws yeah, but when they are forced to separate due to external stimulation like sound or heat, that would make sense for the two of them to experience immense pain like they do, if Venom was just covering Eddie's body like a suit, the separation process would be easier

@@EUDESTROYER true!! Though I think they’re still psychically connected, so that’s a good part of it

Much love Rana! I try to do this in all my videos, hope you've subscribed. And I give lots more detail on my Patreon!

Thank you Filipe! As I’m a creature designer by trade, this definitely ended up as one of my favorites to draw.

That would be wild! In case like that, they would almost just become one single organism, right?

As the symbiote and the host fuse, the symbiote literally envelopes each part of the anatomy, hence why the "Venom" form increases the host's size. When the mouth rolls back, it's literally sliding off of the tissues off of each cell. The teeth, permanently changed, but it doesn't matter, because the symbiotes regeneration ability replaces them within the host, and the host's very DNA is realigned to leave behind what was there before.

my thoughts also

I would’ve loved to go this route! Great analysis here. My only question with that is then… why ever separate again? If the human has to get genetically/physically melted into the Symbiote, aren’t they just one singular entity at that point?

Carnage and his host are one of the same. Carnage is bonded directly to blood, not the body, this is why Carnage is red, the red is blood. Carnage is also able to shape shift his entire body due to the unique bonding. Sqy shoot a cannon ball at cletus. His chest could just shapeshift a big hole for the ball to go through and both the host and symbiote dont have to take the impact. Or say sqeezing down into a noodle to escape through a drain.

@@hathynhighley8548 you are correct! They are truly bonded on a blood level…

Yay Dahec I hope you love it my friend! If you're curious as to what else is in the book, please hit me up on Instagram.

He is in the book! If I get more Patreon supporters I can do more videos.

@JonahLobeDraws Cool, I will probably buy it because I am really amazed by the illustrations.

Hmmm good question! Well I think they can breathe through their skin all the time, but they'd need more for their hosts. Maybe there are other slits/holes in the skin of other Symbiotes? Symbiotes usually have a mouth or mouth-like area, maybe that opening provides it?

Glad you enjoyed that Guyver bit, I hope you watched and enjoyed the other videos too!

Me too graves, thank you. Would love to have you as a supporter on Patreon, that will help make it happen!!

Thanks Jay! Hope you enjoy my other videos as well. Art is part of what I do, but a big part is also world-building, which I think can interest lots of people. My favorites to draw in the book were Iron Man, Jocasta, MODOK, Man-Thing, Rocket, Jean Grey, Cable, Hulk, Abomination, and a few others!

I think they can breathe through the Symbiote, but on the spider-man suit it was only like a millimeter thick, whereas venom is at least six inches thicker. Would need actual holes for ventilation aye?

@@JonahLobeDraws You really have thought of everything 👀! Great job man, and amazing art as usual.

@@guyinyourphone7426 thanks Guy!

Thanks so much Kendi!! I really appreciate you watching and commenting.

Thanks so much Butt! I’m certain you’ll love the book. I want to continue the series, but I need a couple more people to chip in on Patreon…

Me too buddy!! Welcome home!

Flattered trace! Thank yourself at home, my friend, stay tuned for more

Thanks Eft! I think it's definitely both: their psychic connection is probably the most powerful part of their bond, but their physical connection is a close second...

Yay Sanchez, welcome to my channel bro!
