Bayonetta Sketch (Patreon)

This month's sketch for Mystery Street.  I'm a fan of the Bayonetta series personally, and I hope Nintendo rescues it once again and we see a third game.  I dug the Devil May Cry inspired gameplay and especially Bayonetta herself.  There's simply no other character like her out there.  In a sea of brooding male protagonists with growly voices she stands out as an eight foot tall woman who gets naked to attack and, most importantly, she actually seems to be having fun during her adventures, which is astoundingly rare for a lead in any form of fiction these days. 

Now if only they could come up with a story and supporting cast worthy of her. To me the  two games had the same two flaws: one was that the story was incoherent nonsense, and the other is that pretty much every other character besides Bayonetta is someone you want to slap sharply and often. Still though, they start fresh with each new game, so I can only hope that the next entry will be free of sassy hormonal teenage boys who can turn into squirrels. One can dream.
