Bloodletter Borderlands Fan Art

This year, while teaching a course on "Prop Modeling and Hand-Painted Texturing for Games", I created a prop inspired by the Borderlands Bloodletter. The goal was to bring the lessons to life while showcasing stylized modeling and texturing techniques.

Since I taught two classes, I ended up with two versions of the prop—each with its own unique take on the Borderlands aesthetic.

Which one do you prefer? I’d love to hear your thoughts! This project was a great way to explore creativity while helping students develop their skills in game art.
