Couldn't get this thru submission so I'll just post it here. Whipped it together one evening. Any ideas for improvement/critiques are welcome:

The BG is a blah! I've seen better from you. Nothing really goes together especially the color.

The Durak sprite looks cool but I would use the burn tool a bit more in some areas of his body.

The blue on Durak is a bit solid. Use different color hues.

But the concept is pretty sweet especially how you're introducing a new character to MK.

Great job.

lol, Durak from Journey Begins, i like his usage

PROS-
-Durak's head is reminiscent of the MKMovie Goro
-I like the blood effects on Goro.

CONS-
-The background is not great
-The Blue sash on Durak's waist is too... simple.

overall i like the idea, 4/5

Looks very cool! I agree, the background is a little loud in color. And maybe a bit more blood from the decapitated head? But hey, I couldn't doing anything remotely as good as this! Great job as usual, dude!

Ah Durak from MK: the Journey Begins, long time since i thought of that movie. wait wasn't it spelld Duroc/k? anyway, nice design for the head but Jiro's kinda right with the belt being a little solid. And i like this guys story: he died cuz he had the heart to save his little brother(Goro) but his little brother doesn't have the heart to save him

Never heard of Durak in my whole career of MK fanalism, but him ripping off Goro's head in a beautiful background is already a plus. I'm doing to dig deeper into the story of this Durak dude. This overall fake is civilized. 5/5

Durak (meaning idiot in Russian) was Goro's brother in the comics. Basically, Goro killed him over a basic brother's quarrel and became the sole heir to his father, King Gorbak's (funny name) Shokan Empire

Nice sprites and blood. The background looks like a one minute Photoshop job though....use clouds that pop out more, and put some more stuff in the background....mountains, temples, dead people on sticks, flying dragons, whatever, and lose the lens flare. :)

Background is offensive, but I really enjoy the rest. I love simple fakes and Durak is a simple but cool design.

It's been a long time since I really stopped by MKO, so I will make a conscious effort to not be too rambley.

Fedy.. I've seen better from you. I'm not disappointed by any means, I just know you have better talent and better eye for things than what you've conveyed with this.

First of all, the background reminds me of something I would have done around 2002-ish... It's bright, distracting, and really takes away from the whole image. Now, if say the background had more a night-like appearance and minus the solar burst thing, it would have been solid. I think Mortal Kombat is more suited towards the darker environments--personal opinion, just saying.

The Duroc/k sprite also concerns me. I realize you don't have much to really work with, but it seems blurry and undetailed in places. The blue sash thing is completely off putting as well. Too bright and undetailed as well. The face and head I would have considered to be a good start... it just needed some polishing. I also would have preferred a little more personality for Durac/k in terms of attire, but given the source material I can't really complain.

The rest is solid. I would have liked to see more emphasis on the gore, but it's not big thing since I feel you were going a little more realistic in those terms. One other thing, I would have liked to see more of a customized death position, but once again, just details.

Overall, fairly decent, but I would have dug it more if it had more of the little things and a tad more polish.

I know you can do great things, I just want to see it all come together.

I don't know what you're talking about guys, the background is great, to me it represents a luscious sky where a cliff battle maybe ensued, Durak looks good, it's a simple change, but an effective one. It would have been cooler though if you had them deadlocked with weapons.

It's the standard fake with a walkway prop over-laying a filtered background. Throw in red eyes and a darker hue for a new character. Insert a moon or two for good measure. Good idea, poor execution 1.5/5
