"XIAOLIN" Warriors

Here's some ancient warrior spirits I did for XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN. We had no guidelines, only that they be from different cultures & eras in time. Here's some that I came up with:





This was an extra design I didn't have time to finish. Too bad; she's kinda cool.


Any of you XS fans who also like toys (and there might be one or two of you...) should be on the lookout for the new XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN action figures , available at a mega-store near you. Take it from someone who used to draw them, the sculpts are really good, plus they come with cool little accessories.

These here are some crazy warriors. I like the African mask notes. Too bad they didn't use the Athena warrior, she is cool!

z0mbi and Brian: You guys called it-- among all the other reference material I pulled, there was a picture of a doll of the Holy Grail Black Knight. "It's just a flesh wound."

Cecelia: For the most part, I work in TV, but I am currently on a movie. What movie? That's for a future post....

Yacin: Quite a compliment! Your stuff rocks.
