Here we go!
This is amazing. They both look fantastic and I dig all the minor deets. Like Kabal's hookswords, the skeleton in the pool, etc..
I'm really impressed with the BG. You always do a fantastic job on these, whether its fan art, or a fake.
Wish I could do nifty stuff like that...lol.

Someone at MKO pointed out that Sonya looks like a little person, and I can't see past it now lol. Oh well. Thanks for the comments. It was a fun image to work up, I think that came through a bit. And you know me, always working in the little details. I have to tell myself to stop, otherwise it would get to be info overload of the occular type.

Once you told me the page, I looked it up. I read that comment lol. She looks petite, but not midget-esque. Also, is there a way to send pics through notes? Or does everything have to be submitted? I'd like to show you my current piece and get some feedback, because I'm actually doing my own BG for this one! Woah!!

Oh yes Kabal teaches Sonya a lesson, most awesome! It's great to see his classic-inspired outfit, it works so much better than Mavado's leather coat Excellent job on the background too, especially on the shokan statue.

Heh, I never even realized about the Trench Coat until just now.

I guess turnabout is fair play?

Though trading hook swords for a jacket is pretty stupid in a tournament to the death, lol.

Whew, I was sweating the background. I actually worked it up pretty quick compared to everything else, once I got started on it, so it felt rushed and incomplete. Thanks for the !i

I do like the detail to Kabal's face, with the skin slowly starting to rot and peal away~
and the gargle of blood coming from Sonia's mouth is perty cool too!!

Him and Baraka are all I'm waiting for to be revealed. We all know what Sheeva will look like, so that won't be anything momentous I feel.

did you catch Baraka's face in that vid about Xray moves by any chance? personally I'm glad they're sticking with his MKDCU look - face-wise at least

D1u9c7k9 In reply to fedegita [2011-02-11 14:51:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's kind of how I've got him worked up in my own shit. Definitely the best Baraka head ever, aside from Maybe MK2. I just love how the teeth are worked into the face.

FreakieGeekie In reply to D1u9c7k9 [2012-01-06 18:52:32 +0000 UTC]

Know what his teeth were? Fake fingernails painted silver.

Totally awesome art, by the way.
However, Sonya's bust looks awkward, almost as if she's flat with two balls taped to her chest.
But I do like the full-coverage look you gave her.

D1u9c7k9 In reply to fedegita [2010-12-21 23:13:00 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for suggesting it, better than untitled_001

As far as the females go in MK9, looks like they're all going to be scantily clad, whores. The Sindel scan that's floating around looks about as far from an elegant queen as you can get, aside from maybe a bag lady...

IcyColdSephiroth In reply to D1u9c7k9 [2010-12-22 10:16:42 +0000 UTC]

I'm going to have to disagree. Both Sonya and Sindel look fine. I, for the life of me, can't see the huge problem that people have had recently. Please don't use the 'it isn't realistic' excuse. Nothing about MK is realistic, and that's the beauty of it.

On topic, the artwork here is great. I love everything about Kabal. Maskless Kabal is something I've always wanted to see explored, and I like how you have the tube from that device entering his body. The only thing I'd have a problem with is the way Sonya looks, I need my females to be sexy, even when being killed, lol. However, I do suppose the saying 'different strokes for different folks' applies here.

I hope to see more.

fedegita In reply to IcyColdSephiroth [2011-02-09 23:11:20 +0000 UTC]

Realism isn't really the problem. Personally, I think going with the really scantily clad look is beneath MK at this point - it's a just a really easy way to garner extra attention. Sure, that's always good for sales, but I still think it's a low tactic that MK can do without now that it's shooting up in popularity again anyway.

Like D1u9c7k9, I'd love to see Sindel in more regal attire. It suits her character better, being a queen of Edenia and all.

IcyColdSephiroth In reply to fedegita [2011-02-10 19:08:16 +0000 UTC]

It doesn't really matter to me since every fighting game does it. I prefer scantily clad, but that's just my opinion. Who's to say that isn't what Queen's wear in Edenia? Anyway, like I said, it isn't a big deal.

fedegita In reply to IcyColdSephiroth [2011-02-11 06:59:48 +0000 UTC]

hehe good point. maybe skanky clothes are a sign of power in Edenia? It would explain why all the edenian women look that way in mk9 lol

IcyColdSephiroth In reply to fedegita [2011-02-11 11:18:13 +0000 UTC]

See, that's the thing. It's all a matter of opinion. I don't think merely showing skin is skanky at all. Imo, people have a warped perception of what's skanky nowadays. However, I really wish this subject of discussion would die already and people would focus on things that actually matter, like game mechanics.

D1u9c7k9 In reply to IcyColdSephiroth [2010-12-24 00:59:43 +0000 UTC]

While I can agree that '[close to] nothing about MK is realistic', the remainder of your statement is pure opinion. And it's awfully arrogant to post your own feelings while totally dismissing those of others, just because it suits you. Personally, I'd like a much more realistic output from NRS, in regards to the characters' look and feel. I'm all for the over-the-top gore and violence, however I feel that a "Queen" should dress in a more regal manor, same as a Special Forces soldier should show some military bearing, and not report to a fight with her very large breasts barely held in by a vest and nothing more.

I do appreciate the kind komments, and I'm hardly upset when I get negative comments as long as they include criticism that actually assists the artist. However, being subjected to someone forcing their opinion on me as if it were the gospel is quite off putting from my shoes.

Moving on You shouldn't have to wait to long for more, as Ermac should be up within a week. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you!

I haven't seen Sindel yet but I was already irked when I saw Kitana was wearing little more than a piece of blue dental floss. She's a Princess for God's sake!

So far Mileena is the only female character I've seen whose costume I have no issue with. She's supposed to show her body to take the focus off her monster-face. But for Kitana and Sonya (I guess for Sindel too) their characters require more than fighting in their underwear.

IcyColdSephiroth In reply to D1u9c7k9 [2010-12-24 19:00:00 +0000 UTC]

My bad if I came across as trying to impose my opinion unto you, that wasn't my intention so, I apologize. Well, Sindel's costume is more like her MK3 costume and that wasn't very regal either but, hey I'm not really for realism in my video games.
In regards to Sonya, I don't have a problem with the upper body portion. That's actually my favorite part, I think the dark leather looks badass, and if you really look at it, it's like a modified or updated, sexy version of her MK1 costume(which was awful, imo). However, I do understand your desires to see a more realistic version.
