This is my submission for :icondragonscholar: Seventh Sanctum Villains contest. I liked it better before I started it, but I won't complain now.

Evil Name Generator: Ragedeath the Skeletal
Dark Minion Generator: Wicked Children from the Deathsphere

I forgot to write the 'wicked' part of the minions in the drawring. I feel so asshammed. But I don't care. It took me four hours to figure out the letters.

the silver paper came from a Nordstrom ad, and the stairs came from a Disneyland ad, in case anyone wonders.
Ragedeath and her minions (from left to right: Candy, Twinkle, and Butterflies) are inspired by supermodels and Sarah's dog, Spice. Greyhounds are such funny-looking dogs (their butts don't touch the ground when they lie down!). And since I adore Ryuuku from desu noto (engrish, hah hah aha aha) I wanted to give Ragedeath ugly leather pants as well. Perhaps the interest in s&m had a hand in it as well, but we will just ignore that.

Ragedeath the Skeletal is the villain in a hypothetical political rock opera. She is a genius ex-political scientist who, at the rise of fascism, was thrown in prison for speaking against the government. She nearly starved to death there, but, being a genius, managed to escape and went underground, where she genetically engineered an army of 'Wicked Children from the Deathsphere.
The Deathsphere is her nickname for the fascist government, and the Children appear emaciated as an example of the oppression of the proletariat by the govt. Their bones are so sharp, just bending to get the morning paper causes such chafing of their bones against their skin that they just start bleeding, and the tight pants don't help. However, the plus is that they are vicious weapons, and the Children can shove their chests in your face and stab you with their ribs, or grab you by the arm and puncture your wrists with their metacarpals.
Ragedeath went crazy in prison with her hate of fascism, so now she is trying to erase government flat out and spark a peaceful age of anarchy, which we all know is impossible.
I wrote a song to correspond: here

Heh, I love the pose of the one sitting down. And the phrase from the Disneyland ad behind Ragedeath adds a nice bit of irony.
