Overview
This is a gallery of released Ninjago concept art and prototypes.
Many artists who have worked on various Ninjago projects over the years have posted their contributions online. In 2010, Bjarne Hansen illustrated the concept art of scenes from the pilot episodes and Rise of the Snakes, later posting them publicly to Blogspot.[1] Anne Hofmann also released concept art on the same website.[2][3] Ignasi Tudela shared several early concepts as well.[4] Former Producer Tommy Andreasen also posted concept art on his X page.
The images on Concept art need to be organized.
