Culture Kicky Nikki

Been sitting on this one a little bit. Colors by

You might've seen something similar to this by my good friend a couple of weeks ago.

We were playing around with a few design/outfit revamps amidst my OCs and we came around back to the rarely seen Nikki, a bit of a modern-themed ninja type who isn't necessarily the 'nice' type of gal either. You might've recalled her from a variety of normal sketches (and one tickle pic) in the past.

After bouncing a few ideas around, Scam came back with a delightful spin on Nikki. A spunky, dare I say 'punky' variation of a ninja that has an attraction to Japanese themes and culture. As he put it, think of Final Fight/SF Alpha's Sodom sorta. Or at least, how she patterned her style of dress with the 'punk schoolgirl' twist amidst all the other ninja-y stuff.

Anyway, the pic here is my attempt at drawing Nikki in this style. And of course, she's quite a kicker.

There are still a few details/areas I'm trying to decide on what looks best for the design...

Once again, was responsible for the bright, flashy colors on my linework here. He even added some cool glowing neon signs to get the design ideas across more.

And also credit to again for coming up with the majority of this concept for Nikki. I also feel compelled to give props to his fanart of this design with the character, so you can find it at the following link: [link]

...so, perhaps people want to see more of her? Hm?
