It is the picture on a Magic: The Gathering card called Blood Lust. Can't you tell?

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
^Is that in Sarcasm Mode?
Well, then why aren't we seeing the entire card? It's not like EVERYONE here plays Magic The Gathering and instantly recognizes the artwork from the Blood Lust card.

The statement is straight. The question is sarcastic. Made it more obvious, sorry. Yes, terrible image.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
I see the Awesomeness.
Question. How far are we willing to go for this image?
This
◊ was the best one I saw on GIS.
Court Dragon
Well, we do have Vampire Joker, currently on our Nightmare Fuel page for Western Animation, after gorging himself on the contents of a blood bank.
I also snapped a shot of him actually drinking the stuff, if you're OK with the fact that the scene kind of washes out the colors, making it look like Black Blood.
I see the Awesomeness.
I like the thought of Vampire Joker but the image would have to be a lot clearer.
the second Hellsing pic works nicely IMO.
I see the Awesomeness.
Seras 1 is good.
Fight smart, not fair.
By the way... what's the copyright story on all these? Fair use 'cause it's small?
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
"Small"?
As far as I know you should ask permission if it's a fanart or personal thing. But for an image from the actual work, I don't know.
We'll need a more precise image than a person splattered with blood. The Seras image suggests someone fascinated with violence, but not necessarily blood. Maybe this?

That looks less like lust and more like cannibalism or something. What we need is something like one person licking someone else's cut.

Ewww. I think that was what we're trying to avoid here.
This was the original picture on the Combat Sadomasochist page, but it has apparently been replaced with something else. Personally, I think this is the best there is.

Ok, that's the kind of thing I was talking about.

Much better.
I like it.
I'd prefer it to be in color, but then there wouldn't be the dialogue box. Hmm.
Even without the dialogue box, you can still tell that that's blood dripping out of a guy's face in B&W.

Oh, I meant if we took a screenshot of that same scene in the anime. I kinda like the dialogue, but like you say it's not essential.
But a color screencap isn't essential, either.
"Small" as in low-resolution. Also, TV Tropes doesn't make a profit. Was more about commercial works than fan art (etc), of course it's better form to ask permission.
edit: A screencap of the color anime would be better than a screencap of the b&w manga, for sure! But yeah, unessential.

I still like the Seras/Ceras/whatever picture * but on the Naruto pic, is there some kind of policy against adding spot color? Because that would make the image, I think.
There's no real indication of blood there, just some woman leaning against a pinkish wall. Surely we can do better.
