I wanted to sort of re-invent the tackiest character in mk history... and i chose nightwolf... who had cool powers but a really shitty look... the native american cliche in the blue spandex didnt roll... hahaha
so i decided to kinda go w the Arikado style from Castlevania, the demonn hunter in the suit, and i think it looked cool. The BG is some kind of mountain temple/castle, again following a castlevania-like aesthetic, and the enemy demon guy i wanted to have a Devil's Advocate kinda thing... like satan in a suit too... and it went well w the nightwolf (I think)
The BG isnt all that much, but i tried to keep it clean and nice, even tho its not anything too original...
Also, i wanted the action-shot intead of the "round 1" type of fight so i didnt add lifebars or timer.
anyway.. hope ya like it!

I don't. While I find the background and effects visually appealing, I have many cmoplaints.
The demon's legs and feet seemt oo disproportioned to the body, and he's shooting lasers into the grond instead of at Nightwolf. I see a hatchet a stake, and an I don't know what, all too big, and taking up too much space, for no reason. You can't even tell it's Nightwolf except for the green glowy effects, where it could be a hippy Ermac too. I also felt the demon didn't look demonic enough. It looked more like Superboy using heat vision. So I guess the big picture is taht there's too much going on with no explination, 2/5

Looks like Eric McCormack shooting lasers at Lobo.

Still looks good, though.

Yeah, I think the Hatchet, Stake, etc is supposed to be kind of a ghosting effect for the Hatchet like its swinging with the movement of Nightwolf's Arm.

I give a 3.5/5 for Originality, Time, Effort, Explanation of why, and choice of SubZero as a Fire-Eye shooting Demon. :)

PS, so when are you going to make this into a full blown continuing webcomic? Nightwolf: Chronicles of the Demon Hunter Hahah, J/K

I notice most of your fakes you attempt to come out with your own concept characters, and for that, I will give you credit.

The problem is how obvious the sprites are. Nightwolf and Sub-Ze...ehhh...I mean....The Demon guy both appear to have the same color suit. I'd just left Nightwolf alone unless you would've added his alt. costume. The demon guy in the air looks a bit awkward as though you just slapped it onto the BG. Perhaps a shadow underneath would've looked more convincing.

I really don't like what the demon guy is shooting from his eyes. It reminds me of Kano and Cyclops. The detail of the tomahawks and how the bean is craving the floor was a nice touch; great job on that.

The background is a bit dull. Colors don't seem to match. The sky is just too plain. Make it more "MKish" besides messing around with the colors.

Nice effort, nonetheless. It's nice to see some people still contributing art on this site.

It looks like the demon is making a big trail of lasers that will eventually hit Knightwolf. Look at the lasery stuff on the ground behind the laser.

You can't really tell it's Knightwolf besides the fact he has long hair, and the axes he is throwing look way too big.

Everyone seems to have said everything... I just thought that Nightwolf was fighting Superman in a black suit.

u got it right w the Lasers, they are movin towards him! finally! someone gets it
srsly... not that hard

And its a good thing he doesnt look like the ussual nightwolf, thats the point, since he looked like shit before.

and YES, u can tell he's sub zero! so!?? just cause u cant tell who the sprite used to be doesnt make it good! when u retouch a sprite too much it looks shitty, like he doesnt belong in the game.

And Nightwolf's axe is huge cause its an energy axe... why cant it b big???

Hehe, yeah. I guess maybe they are still trying too hard to ground this custom in a MK world and not the CUSTOM world as it should. I still think a short story comic of this would be funny. Maybe a 2 parter? part 1 enter the castle etc, meet demon. Part 2 Fight and win (or lose). :)

I agree only I think this could be taken further to make quite an interesting comic series.

As for the image itself:

- The background, although I don't really like it much, kind of fits the mood of the image.
- I don't really like the edits. I take your point that it doesn't matter how much it looks like Sub, but at the same time he doesn't look like much of a demon either. It's more the design - both characters look like they're out to a trendy wine bar rather than fighting in a mountanous arena!
- I love most of the effects though. The actual laser is ok, but the trail is great. But for me - the energy axe steals the show and I'm seriously thinking of ripping this move off for MK Karnage tongue.

Is Nightwolf wearing a tie? What's that red thing near his attire? Both fighters look awfully formal to be beating eachother. Besides the great effort in making your own sprites (using default ones) and your own background, I think there's a bit of too much going on at once. 2.5/5
