Fat Ninja

Taking my initial sketch of our swashbuckling archnemesis I went to work on this (which is a partner piece to another pic of the Fat Ninja that I’ll post momentarily). I was particularly pleased with how well his face turned out. He still needs a name.

So, I decided to work on sketching out a foe to face off against the Fat Ninja. I thought what better foil for an obese ninja than a slim pirate. This is the first sketch I put together. I don’t have a name for him as of yet. I am open to suggestions.

I almost abandoned this one entirely early on. I had a lot of trouble with his left (your right) arm’s positioning.

I decided to try and draw Marcus Fenix, the hero in Epic’s Gears of War. The undertaking was nothing short of challenging. I think it turned out well, but doing all the detail work really helped me appreciate how stunning a game Gears is, visually speaking. Let me know what you think.
