If you remember from MK2, Baraka's eyes were a nice soulless black. However, as he has progressed on into the world of MK6 his eyes have changed from a nice hellish raven color, into the glowing balls of evil that they now are. My question, which do you prefer?

Here is (what I believe to be the first fake MK6 pic) my rendition of Baraka with black eyes.

He looks like a baby with black eyes in that pic, he looks more evil with his yellow glowing eyes.

What if they were black most of the time but then they glowed yellow randomly or when he did a fatality.

I prefer the yellow eyes, Ed Boon(or the artist who did it) is a genius I think.

i would want the eyes to be just yellow and no pupil.
Side by side, the yellow eyes call my attention more.

Honestly, I love the way you made those black eyes look.

It's just that, they were always supposd to be red! Every sketch of MK2, especially the official MK2 comic, shows that Tobias envisioned Baraka with red eyes. It's just that in game, they were covered by shadows, perhaps because they are sunken into his head. (Common result of inbreeding, maybe the mutants do that in Outworld. Or maybe I'm looking too deep into the story here.).

Regardless, I think the black eyes you gave Baraka look the BEST - I just don't see a reason for his eyes to suddenly change color at this point.

I like the yellow cat eyes. Gives the character more life (than just black). He looks like Sauron's demon soldiers from Lord of the Rings.

the black eyes make him appear like he's dead... like someone did a fatality on him... the yellow in his eyes indicate that he is alive...
