Oniko: Samurai Texture Reference

The final character sheet for the samurai characters in Oniko (2026). Due to modelling and rigging limitations, we had to use the same model for both, and only distinguish between the two in texturing. I worked with the director to design these subtle differences in colour, and painted this texture sheet to be used by the surfacing department. For the surfacing of Oniko, we were going for a very stylised look, heavily inspired by Arcane and Blue Eye Samurai, so I kept these in mind while painting this reference.
