Description
Wire work motivated me to finish a partial project that's been sitting idle for six months. After writing some Ninja Gaiden tools, I got Ishtaros done right away including the rigged whip, but Nicchae sat unfinished. Spent the last couple of days getting Nicchae finished up. I think these two are my first finished custom rigs. There are no skeleton rippers yet for Ninja Gaiden Sigma, so I had to work from scratch. I did use DOA skeletons as a base, but since these two have way different proportions and extra body parts they did take some extra effort. I did go the extra mile though and even rigged wings, horns and head claws/or whatever they are. I'll demo that if I think of a good pose or animation somehow.

I'll probably add more fiends or enemies to this piece as I work on them. I've been wanting to tinker with some art ideas with these two for quite a while, but there has never been much for resources or interest. I was surprised that even on the 2D side there is almost no content here on dA, and I find that surprising given just how much wacky stuff there is here. :-/ I guess for know I'll cross the finish line first for earliest 3D incarnations of Nicchae & Ishtaros Fiends of Creation/Destruction from Ninja Gaiden Sigma. I would like to eventually add them as adversaries for the XCraft project, but that may not happen until I get some more assets done.
