The Legend Of Kage-Retrogasm 2018 Submission

My submission for the Retrogasm 2018 game art competition. The goal was to create a character or vehicle from old games (PS1 or prior) as if it were to go in a modern day game engine. My choice was to recreate the main character from my favorite game from when I was a kid (back in 1986!), The Legend of Kage, by Taito, which was a 2D side scroller in which you had to kill an army of ninja's, monks and an evil boss in order to rescue a princess. This is my modern day rendition :)
