This was done for the This Week Jam, a weekly exercise where participating artists draw a character chosen at random at the beginning of the week, from a pool of previously submitted ideas from the members as a group.

It’s the ever-popular, slightly-over-exposed, and always thirsty Nazi-hunting Bloodrayne.

Bloodrayne is one of those characters that just seems like it was generated automatically, without the need for human design input. Like the software developers built some super-computer and put it to work parsing the design problem of generating a console fighter that would have the maximum fanboy appeal, and after twenty minutes of computation, it spit out… Bloodrayne. I’m not knocking the character: in fact, they exercised a fair bit of restraint in her outfit, going for dark leather instead of something more obvious, like fishnets and chrome pasties and I don’t know, Elvira-but-miniskirted… in fact, some of the elements of her design I thought were pretty cool, like the whips of leather attached to her hair…somehow… by iron rings, or the lace-up leather corset… but I never did get into the game, myself. Since it’s my fate to be a Marvel Zombie since childhood, I had to throw in a reference to the good old days of spandex Nazis, Marvel style, which in this case means Baron von Strucker losing his head…
