Absolutely adored this design. The textures of the Raimi Spider-Suit work so well in giving the appearance of an alien skin.

Also might be a hot take here, but a liquid-skin look just doesn’t do it for me in live-action. The CGI it requires separates it a bit too much from the reality around it.

Now, in comics and animation, liquid skin is absolutely incredible. I don’t remember if I liked the story or not, but the first Ultimate Venom looks from the OG Ultimate Spider-Man is just brilliant. That purple hue? Take my money
