NG Crimson Beginning Concept Done!



Wellll, I finally finished it. My cell shaded concept of what I think the next Ninja Gaiden game should be like. I've been trying to just get quality work on here just to give prospective employers something to prove I'm worthy, so I could have spent a little more time brainstorming the concept out. But all in all, I'm pretty satisfied with it. 

The idea behind the game is that Ryu is in his younger years, completing his master training and first becoming familiar with death. At first he is understandably hesitant about taking another life, but in time learns that sometimes it is the right thing to do for the good of his people. Oh, and there's some kind of curse or something on his arm.. that'll do something..

Work Doodles

My job at Bose is boring.. Really boring. So I draw up some quick doodles from time to time. Probably about 15 minutes each? Done in pen

New Fun Style!

Just experimenting with different styles in photoshop. More so the coloring style... I know the sketch is boxy, that wasn't my focus in this one.

Must fix Ninja Gaiden

Well, Ninja Gaiden 3 finally came out... And anyone who was a fan of NG before, now isn't. It got horrible reviews and is nothing like previous NG games. So I'm trying to make up for it by creating a new Ryu. Here's the beginning of the sketch.

Aladdin's Creed!

Fun little sketch I thought of, I'll probably tweak it a little but it's mostly finished.

Seriously calling it this time.

Something was just bugging me about the painting still, so I went back in and tweaked it a tad.

Callin it.

Moderately satisfied with this one... I'm getting better and more used to digital painting but I want to study light more.

Digital Face

I'm working on bettering myself in digital painting and trying to build something of a digital painting portfolio and just "finished" another side project. I'll be doing several more of these to better understand light and the face structure.
