Speed Drawing Mini Ninja Concepts #2

I've been working hard the last few weeks but not a lot of new 3D work to show so thought I would post some more speed sketches,these were based on the Mini Ninjas Wii game and done in second year of University as quick concepts for an animation.Each took 15-20 mins using Photoshop / Wacom.Some more of the concepts can be seen HERE .

HR Giger Species / Old artwork

A few months back I bought 'species design-by hr giger' the art book showing the process behind creating 'Sil' the alien lead on the film Species,I had wanted the book for years but it was always a bit pricey but I did have a old issue of Cinefantastique magazine showing the details making the creature.
I thought Steve Johnson did a good job bringing the creature to life and he mentions in the magazine that he was upset the films lighting was rushed as it meant that Sil's transparent body was never seen properly.One scene which I thought worked perfect was the underwater alien sex scene,created using strobe lights underwater it only lasts a few seconds but that was enough for me to want to draw it.
I was 15 when I drew this from memory,its gotten a bit damaged and dirty over the years,I never did finish it I think because I ran out of the blue pencil I was using!.

The original is about 1 meter x 1 and a half meters big,
I found it pretty crushed and tried to flatten and photograph it.

Painting

This is my first painting done with a Wacom tablet from about a year ago,I switched after my Trust tablet broke.Took a little practice to get used to using Wacom but sped up my work a lot,this was a quick practice painting I did.Could use some blending and clean up.

Speed Drawing Mini Ninja Concepts

 These are some quick drawings I did last year for a university project,I created around 40 concepts for a 3rd years final animation which was inspired by the Mini Ninjas game.I had a look at some images from the game and Japanese art / Samurai images then tried out some different styles,each image took 15-20mins using Photoshop and Wacom.
