For my redesign i looked at the source of inspiration of the shinobi series, and i found i wanted to take it in the exploitation martial arts movie style. like sonny chibas "the streetfighter"

sonny chiba himself was directly used as source material for revenge of shinobi, chek it out

This is looking good so far. Although the comp is currently over, I hope you will continue working on this one, because he is shaping up very well. There is one thing that if changed, I think can be an improvement. Right now, there is an illusion that he is extremely short. I think it might be because his arms look too long and his head looks slightly too big. Perhaps lengthening his legs could fix this, or correct the size of the arms and head. This aside, I am liking how everything else is coming together.

thanks for the input
yeah i kinda didnt get round to fixing the strange leg problem yet i think if i lengthen the right leg and even it up with the other a bit more it shoudl look a bit more in proportion will update it soon with a much better version!

(with eyes!)
