Concepts for project "Ninja"

The character is one of multiple bosses in my friends game project "Ninja". You can follow the development of Ninja here: http://ninjadevelopment.blogspot.fi/

I started the process by studying wild boars a bit and then translating their physique into a bipedal design seen at the start of the first page. The design needed to be iterated towards a more chunkier look and something more appropriate for 3D modelling purposes. The final two images are closer to target, but still under development. The gear is a bit on the generic side at the moment. The games main character silhouette is there to give perspective on the size of the character.
