crap didnt work...nvm..it did now

It didn't work before because we don't use the image tags here, we use html, EDIT: but I see you have got the hang of it now

As for the fake, this is pretty good and creative.

- The only thing I can think of that is absent are the win marks, and shadows. They would improve this pic just that little bit more.
- The wins text for Scorpion is a little bit left of where it should be.
- Screen hasn't gone dark for this, which could enhance the glow effect.
- The timer is interesting, but I would think a standard timer would be better.
- Finish Him? Well, I think he just has, it should either say fatality and ermac wins or nothing really. The fatality is in progress, not finished or just started by the looks of it.
- The glow effects are red, which is a nice idea, Ermac being a red ninja and all, however, it closely resembles the blood which could be confusing to some people.

Good things:

+ The idea is pretty cool.
+ The blood work is excellent, not excessive, and not slapped on either. Excellent work with that.
+ The glow effects are pretty good.
+ I quite like the way you did the lifebars, it's a change, but it's a good change (just remember those win marks!)
+ Excellent choice of sprite for Scorpion, and the spear is organized VERY well with the sprite.
+ You have obviously put a fair bit of thought into this.

Good fake from you here. Keep up the good work .

thanx

Well it still isn't working for me, a red X is all I see. Says the owner has exceeded their daily usage when I copy/paste from properties. I'll check back in later and hopefully be able to critique this.

crap crap crap!@!!

how about now??

Nice...

Great job! It is WAY better then mine!

True to my word, I have returned .
Ok, either you fixed it, or it works because its a new day. (A side note for you, your signature and avatar also were red X's when I couldn't view your fake earlier.)

Ok, I must ask, did you do anymore editing on this after tim already critiqued? The screen seems to have darkened, and in his post he said it hadn't. Oh well, maybe its just me, after all this is the first time I have seen it.

Anyway, this is very good. I like the idea of Scorpion's spear being used to defeat him. And having Ermac do it is fitting, considering his powers. But the spear seems to straight after in goes through Scorpion, though Ermac may be able to direct in in a straight line like that.

Sprites are excellent. Great pose choice for Scorpion, it actually looks like he's suprised and is trying to prevent this. The 'red glow' on Ermac's hand was a good touch, rather than making no edit at all.

I don't really know if I like the text used for the characters name, bigger than I am used to seeing, but its not so bad I suppose. The only thing you forgot is win tokens for Ermac. And shadows for both fighters. The "Finish Him" text isn't really needed, I think nothing there would suit this fake fine.

All in all, its original and well executed.

thanx

Well, whaddya know? Lol. The screen was most definately not dark before, looks like this has been changed.
However, this dark effect is not correct.
- The lifebars, timers, SPRITES!!! and other texts do not go dark. What it looks like you did is make the whole picture dark, and then add a red lighting effect over ermac's "orb".
- The red lighting effect is a good idea, but it pretty much provides the only way to see the picture, as the rest is extremely dark.
- Basically, it's a little too dark, and hard to see (or at least on some computers).

Just make sure that only the background goes dark with it, and make sure that the characters do not go darker as well, because that makes it extremely hard to see anything that's going on then.
You see, the dark background would've made the glow effect look more impressive perhaps, but if the glow effect and the characters have gone dark as well, then there's no real difference .

Careful with this in the future, though it does add a more serious, and evil tone to it (just don't overdo it later ).

Good, I haven't gone crazy after all! Like he said, I think you just quickly darkened the entire thing. Darken the background, before you place your sprites, lifebars, etc... into the fake.

Great idea, looks good too. People like to complain about fonts and missing elements from the game but really none of that stuff matters that much. You've come up with a great idea and executed it well.

If your going for an MK:DA effect increase the light around Ermac and Scorpion leave everrything else darkened.

So how do you do that? If you are using PSP or PS then it's easy. Put all the different elelments on different layers. Adjust each one individually until you get the right brightness. If your using something like MS paint then that's going to be tough and take plenty of patience. Have an idea of what you want before you begin, add each element onme at a time and adjust them as you paste them into the image.

Take it easy

Complain? Its called a critique man, there's no complaining or harm involved.

k, well i would have made the bg dark before i started making but yall told me i should have done that after i wwas one and i really didnt want to remake it. and i though everything goes dark except the sprites, that includes the life bars and text. but i might be mistaken.

Nah man, the only thing that does dark is the background.
Think about it, in the game, lifebars and sprites are placed ONTOP of the background.
So when they darken the background, they would have to write extra code to darken the lifebars too, which wouldn't make too much sense .
It's just the background.

oh k, i just was thinking that the lifebars and names and stuff go away in DA, and the sprites stay to do the fat. i just coul;dnt remember.

Thats pretty cool, i dont really know what do say about it. 3.5/5
