Shinobi 3 Fan Art WIP

Shinobi 3 is one of my favorite games on the Mega Drive and I have been thinking about how a specific stage ould look in a 3D space for a long long time. The stage in question is Body Weapon, a stage that combines a number of the things I love from 90's pop culture. Ninjas, Bio Weapons, Body Horror, and a stunning atmospheric soundtrack.

First pass Brain Tank

Figuring out how to light the glass

I couldn't resist pushing the body horror a little more with the inclusion of skull fragments. I like the idea of these enlarged brains breaking through and consuming the bones!

Experiments with procedural shaders in Arnold
