Description I was not so enthousiastic about the Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 announce, but it made me wanna finish an old drawing started one year and a half ago. So here we go with Ryu and dragon sword, Ayane and her twin Wakizashi and Momiji with her odd Naginata.

At first there were only Ryu and Ayane on the pic, I added Momiji recentely (given she did not exist yet at the moment of my first sketch). I did not feel like changing Ayane's costume to her NGS2 one that I don't like at all. She looks too much slutty. And her boobs' size has increased horribly! It is as if she has been influenced by Sonia or Rachel!
I don't get why she should wear such an outfit because she gets more important in the game. I liked her first NG costume which fits well at Ryu's side. Plus Ayane is supposed to be discreet since she spies a lot. But this costume is anything but discreet. However Momiji looks decent.
For both of them, I think that it was really stupid to add great heels to their shoes.

I'm happy Ayane et Momiji are the new playable characters and not Sonia. At least a good thing. And Marbus is back, that's awesome XD!
But I'm so angry that this is only for PS3 players. With the new boss and new weapons, it makes me think that NG2 has been released too much soon, it would also have deserved to have these features. Nevertheless, it shows that Ninja Gaiden will go on and that's the important!

About the drawing, I did not want to make Ayane look so young, but it was not so egregious ont the lineart. It is crazy to see how much difference can appear between lineart and final piece coloured. I'm pretty much deceived. Have a look at the sketch version which is way much better for Ayane: [link]
When I draw Momiji I really thought I was drawing my character representing myself, they so much look alike ^^'

I've never played Ninja Gaiden Sigma but I've heard indeed many problems compared to the original Xbox NG. I've never played DMC neither, I'm not able to compare them, but I do agree with you all the same.

At least, it is just Ninja Gaiden sigma 2, a real Ninja gaiden 3 would be better (I hope it will, because without Itagaki and numerous TM members, we may wonder if the game is not about to fall down).

If Sigma was a glimpse to what's in store for Ninja Gaiden in the future, I'd rather see the series end here.

Though, I can see a pretty awesome ending for the whole shebang. Itagaki said NG2 will never be ported to PS3, if it was, it would be a loss of face for everyone involved.
We can all agree that the dude is batshit insane, so it wouldn't really surprise me if he ended up going postal at the Team Ninja offices. Whacking off limbs left and right and finally committing seppuku to top it off.
Any other way to end Ninja Gaiden just wouldn't do.

Lucky you! I have no friend living next to me that own a PS3!
I don't like neither Ayane DOA2 costume you're talking about, which is not accurate at all for a kunoichi as charismatic as her.

nice work!
I like the surprised expression on Ryu. it makes me laugh since it makes me think of how suddenly the two girls are forcing their way into his game
and you are so right about Ayane's suit. I was like WTF?! I just hope there is a second suit choice for her and that it is more dressed.. what I don't get is why make her boobs so F*** large.. there was no reason for doing that! and they had already made a new suit for her in the ng2. why could they not stick to that one? even Momiji got a boob lift... arg!
I giggled when I saw Marbus in the trailer.. I thought of you and Grugonk right away.

Such boobs suits characters like Rachel and Sonia, but Ayane is a thin kunoichi, such huge boobs must be heavy and would probably more disturb her than anything else.
Her NG2 outfit got also a little slutty but were still decent and nicer.

Be side our pervert thoughts, Marbus was so funny to beat, his atacks were hilarious XD
Have you seen in the trailer one of his horn is broken, as a proof of the previous fight between him and Ryu ^^

I didn't spot that before no..
looks like he has some other scars too. I think we are in for an interesting story twist with Marbus.. perhaps I was right about him in my fic then?

feh.. with boobs like that Ayane could nearly have used them as weapons.. and that's not a good thing if you ask me..
