BLOODRAYNE (videogame) illo for PSM's 2005 swimsuit issue (Patreon)

From 2005, here's one of the better illos that my buddy Ryan Kinnaird and I did for the Playstation magazine PSM, created for the "summer swimsuit" feature they ran back in those halcyon days of yore, which boasted art by a whole bunch of different comic artists. The bikini-clad character, here, is vampire chica Rayne (and friends) from the third-person shooter series BloodRayne. 

Below, a rare color rough for the illo, done with Sharpie markers and red pencil:

Next, my inks (as I rarely bothered to scan the initial pencils, back then). Note that odd line across Rayne's shoulder and cheek, which shows where the two separate bitmap scans of the original artwork didn't quite line up correctly:

And my color guide for the piece:

And, once again, here are Ryan Kinnaird's colors for the piece:

I was only rarely satisfied with the many illustrations I drew for PSM, as they mostly seemed to go astray from initially promising rough sketches. (Nonetheless, you'll see them sooner or later as I grow desperate for Patreon content months down the road.) This really is one of the few such pieces that actually worked out to my satisfaction.
