Idea I had for the look of ermac''s power... as an "invisible" arm kinda like Elven Lied...

the stage I kinda ust made up to go w the rest... and the kitana sprite I made for fun... not great but I had fun makin a "darker" kitana... her thighs look fat tho... I'll try to fix that...

its all made out of Mk1 stuff and GIMP...

Nice way to contribute to the topic.

To add the pictures, upload it on either ImageShack or Photobucket

Copy the link after the pic's been uploaded, go to settings and on the signature settings, use this code:

[img src=http://www.website.com/image.jpg] and replace the [ ] signs with < > instead. click Save settings to save your settings and a confirmation screen will come out.

As for the concept, it's okay, the stage isn't that great imo but the way you made a darker Kitana is good, yes the thighs need work.

I don't like the background, but the sprites are excellent.

See I like this because, one it's a good idea, and two there's alot of little details within it. This piece holds your interest and keeps you guessing, which is a good mood to set for a MK1 Ermac fake. Good stuff

I find the backround platitudinous, the sprites aren't very special, though I fancy them for some reason. LOL! tongue The invisble arm is very likable as well.

3/5

As above, but nothing thats outstanding in anyway.

Btw, it is Elfenlied. Not Elven Lied, or Elvenlied, but Elfenlied.

wowzers!! srry for the typo!!!

anyway... the point i wanted to make was the look of ermac's powers... insteead of the crappy green mist...
the stage I made just not to have an in-game BG... i made it plain cause I kinda imagined it as a kind of etheral training ground... kinda like the time chamber in Dragon ball... and its function was pretty much to look good w the Ermac effects... I would like some more feedback on the idea of the effect itself and how ppl like it..

Haha, I hafta admit I kinda like the green mist, but not the way they do it in the games - ultra cheesy.

Anyhoo, I like what you did here - particularly the dark Kitana! Infact it's probably my fave thing about the pic, esp if you fix up her thigh. The idea is cool though I'd say make the effect used for the telekinesis just stand out a little more, not too much, but for the first few times I looked at the image I didn't even see it confused.
Perhaps I glanced over it a bit too much or something tongue.

Nice stuff though smile.

Good work Truck Driver... I mean Kamionero wink

You've edited both your sprites and their poses very well, something thats hard to come by these days, and they are both spotless. They look almost as if they were taken straight out of the game! (meaning they're not awkward or unrealistic or nothing)

As for the background, if simplicity was what you were going for then you've succeeded. However, I personally do not like it. The ground looks too cartooney (like out of a 16 bit sonic the hedgehog game or something) which really makes it look awkward against the realistic clouds.

Also, I wasn't entirely sure what on earth was going on at the start but then when I read your msg I had one of those "oooooooooh" moments. It's an interesting concept, very old school (no special effects for telekinesis, just a corny pose and a bad actor getting hurt wink ) and you've delivered it well.
Now if you wanted to make the background more real, I think it would look cool (and add to the fake's concept) if you had something like a Buddha statue or Shang on his chair there with their faces distorted to emphasise the trail of telekinesis.

But otherwise its a superb sprite job with a less-than-superb background and a sweet concept. 3/5.

The Mileena sprite is amazing and the icy hand is good, but the background is really horrible.
