I’m aiming for a futuristic/hi-tech ninja type of secret agent. Thinking it will have stealth camouflage like the Major in Ghost in the Shell or the ninja from Metal Gear.

Most likely be a male (easier for me to model :P). He’ll be wearing the “old school/traditional” ninja uniforms but underneath will be his bullet proof light weight armor. He’ll use throwing knives, small daggers and swords to complete his tasks as they are quieter than a gun!

Likely field of expertise is assassination and gathering intelligence.

Thinking the scene will be on a hi-tech rooftop area (bar, restaurant, casino, high class business meeting type of place).

For the environment/setting of the scene I’m thinking of going with a futuristic rooftop area.

Thinking of a place for very important people / high class business men. It’ll have a bar area and dining area for sure. Still deciding about a gambling table of some sort and private area for the business meetings.

Going for a very crowded look, with many people eating and drinking. Probably going to have some sort of villainous business man and have the ninja stealthy gather intelligence or assassinate the target.

Not 100% sure yet, working on the set in 3D should have some stuff done later this week and hopefully get some camera angles and stick figures to block in the action :D.

cowboy bebop is an excellent place to look up inspiration. I can’t wait to see the first concepts.

This concept is having the secret agent ninja in the elevator having disposed of his target. The elevator reaches the roof and the doors swing open. The ninja sees the light shining in from a helicopter and understands he has been caught and turns on his thermal optic camouflage, ready to make his escape.

This concept depicts the ninja going straight out into public. Ready to assassinate his target on the rooftop gambling area.

Any tips for a composition would be appreciated. Originally I wanted to have it be a crowded place but I’m not sure if I could pull off an environment plus more than 1-2 human characters and textures in the 2 months that we get :(. So I’m trying to come up with scenes that would have limited number of people and objects in the shot.

Anyway I’m going to be working on a few more soon. Have to finish up my VFS demo reel first, as it’s due this Friday and graduation is next Friday…almost done with my year here.
