Cinder Fall RWBY By Civene On Deviantart

One fond pastime amongst artists is to imagine not-Curiosity characters equally those who stop upwards sharing space with the Venom symbiote. Can you imagine Blake Belladonna with Venom?

Artist vanerchest did but that with this portrait. Blake already has some impressive abilities and a semblance that allows her to literally go out her decoy cocky behind.
