Now that the contest is over... here are my concepts/ideas I created

While I was bashing my face against my keyboard and working between 4 programming assignments and the contest fakes, I was actaully jumping back and forth between ideas. Since I'll be taking a considerable break from 2D Art I decided I may as well post what I had come up with. It's actually a lot.
I was surprised to see how many people couldn't have guessed that the unfinished was mine despite me having to drop out early. I got the impression people thought I sat around and picked gold nuggets from my nose the entire time, but whatever.

(excuse the JPG quality... I normally save it as PNG but it'd be a hassle for people with slower internet connections)

Here are some ideas I was playing around with in the beginning:






Here were my "original submissions:"





What my fake was supposed to be like (with proper sprite edits and special effects, of coruse):



Here were some possible stages I was considering for my fake:

























These are "huge" so click for bigger resolution:

The Shang Tsung soul steal looks wicked. My favorites of the stage ideas are the Lava Pool, Kahn's Tower, and the Destroyed Bank.

the destroyed bank and the nether river are the best, i really like the concept for nether river, i just strikes me as cool
I like these ones. The soul steal ideas look good. The finished version of your fake looks better, but I'm still a bit lost thanks to the green waves by Quan Chi, and the sky confuses me. Is that a wave(water) or the sky/reality being ripped apart by the portal?. Also, lol at Quan's face.
I like a lot of the stages. Some though, look too PS for MK. The Wasteland Bridge, for instance. I don't know if it's the color, but the whole thing looks blurry or blended together. I also like your Nether river idea. I have a similar one myself, that I need to finish. I like the Destroyed Bank, New Portal 2(DA's?), and The Lin Kuei Lair(nice candles) the best.

Wow I'm surprised you like Kahn's Tower... it's actually one of my least favorite that I made.

Hehehe, this looks either like Scorpion's going to get struck in the groin, or like he's farting energy at the cyborg. tongue

But good work with the images overall. I like the Wasteland Bridge the most.

This are pretty good, XTREEMIST. I seem to notice that yours fakes are heavily influence by Fred MK Hoax such as Kahn Tower and Ice vs. Scorpion. Were you planning to use this backgrounds for your mugen project? Looking at your Shinnok/Quan-Chi vs. Lui Kang/Raiden fake makes me wish you would've gotten the time to submit that for the contest. Actually, i'm surprise a lot had the idea of adding Shinnok and Quan-Chi in their image. I kid you not, the original idea I was aiming for in my image was an MK4 Reptile teaming up with classic Reptile holding Shinnok while the giant snake rips his torso in half. On the floor, you will see Quan Chi in a pool of acid. I didn't want to make my make too clustered so I simply went with one-on-one action of classic Reptile vs. Shinnok. Good job.

Yeah, I know it's all green and stuff, but I like it in a way for that reason,it makes more sense with the way you have the stage setup. It looks dark and creepy, like Kahn's secret room where he's gaining all these soul powers or meditating. Maybe some green glow around the lanterns or some lighting somewhere in the room would make it look more dramatic and less flat.

On and off for a few years now, actually. I haven't done fakes in over a year about... realizing my potential in creating a MUGEN game due to my programming "skills" kind of brought me back from the dead. But the time it takes out of my day not only takes away from school but other essentials of life *cough* girls *cough* but hopefuly this summer when I'm stuck in my little office for 8+ hours a day doing damn-near nothing, I will have the time each day to hopefuly get back to things, if not 2D, my 3D work as well.

Oh yeah, and yes Fred has a GREAT influence on all my fakes.
He's the reason I got into fakes.
Then MZ gave me a few pointers and back stabbed me.
After that VM was the one who yelled at my constantly... and back stabbed me too.
Then DarkDuelist aka KungLaoAncest aka Kazukilao aka RaginIceSoulX aka VirtualSpirit666 aka (god I dont know how many aliases he had) he helped me some more with photoshop effects. He hasn't back stabbed me. Still talk to him too.
