Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon: Fan art

Goemon from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, A.K.A Ganbare Goemon! Originally meant for Retrogasm, I got a little too busy to submit for the contest, but got back around to the project and finally finished it. In that time I learned a lot as an artist and I was able to apply a lot of lessons and even experiment a little bit along the way.

Mystical ninja was one of those games I rented from blockbuster as a kid alongside Chameleon twist and Megaman legends. My goal was to give Goemon a faithful redesign akin to what Pit got for SSBB and Kid Icarus Uprising; Something more detailed and mature, but still possessing the tone and spirit of the original.

Tri count - 48,281 (1,790 tris for Kiseru and Ryo)
3 sets of 2048's (Skin, hair, body) (Gear 1 set of 1024's)
