2000-ish illo for ICON motorcycle helmet
Added 2019-05-02 16:00:03 +0000 UTCBehold, an illo that I did for an Icon motorcycle helmet design, featuring inks by me and colors by my buddy Ryan Kinnaird. The ultra-stylized face with "MNI" (minimal nasal indication) hints to me that the image dates back to the early 2000s.
I churned out a bunch of different roughs for so-called "cute anime chicks" to go on the side of the helmet, including a proto-Ninjette character (with a notably more pronounced chest, of course)...
...and a generic "girl with gun(s)" design:
I'm fairly sure there was at least one more variation featuring a strongly Chun-Li-ish "kung fu girl," but I can't seem to find it right now. I'll keep looking, folks!

Ponytail? That's a twintail expression if ever I saw one. Also, the proto-ninjette is MY favorite (no boots, you hear? >:( ).
