This fake pic was done by Jordanman and myself for the mkwarehouse kontest w/ some simple rules and guidelines at thats what fake pics are all about (sort of grin )

"No existing MK props, bg's, sprites, and effects can be used unless edited. Even the blood has to be original. This is going to make it hard for you copy and pasters out there. I think it will be interesting to see what people come up with though. Guidelines are as follows.
-The fake must have an original character doing a fatality.
-It must have original life bars, timer, and rounds won icons.
-An original character must be the victim.
-An original background must be used.
-Original blood effects must be used.
-Only one fake from each team.
-The team may only have 2 members. No more. No less.

I clearly got disqualified for using a MKDA Scorpion when the rules where "original character" I guess I misunderstood. What I did was make the background, and sprite (yes I did made the sprite) so I was done I send the fake to Jordanman and his made the background blue(which looks better) the sword and the original character which is Scarlet whick was better than are first idea of making a Lara Croft sprite tongue so I pick Scarlet because what better way to end the rumor once for all than to make a fake pic out of it grin

For all those wondering where did I get the Doom tectures, just pm me and I'll be happy to give you the link. I notice that theres a lot of people that are new to fake pics and there not die hard mk fans so they wont know who the hell is scarlet:

"In very rare cases of Mortal Kombat II fighting, the game will glitch and the female fighter, be it Mileena or Kitana, will become a red shade. This is very reminiscent to Ermac in Mortal Kombat I. This glitch is far more common in the hacked arcade version of Mortal Kombat II, called "Immortal Kombat".Along with this glitch, many other errors can occur, such as scratchy sounds or connection errors. The name was the same as the fighter chosen, but, due to influence of a recent fan art submitted to a magazine of a red female ninja with the name "Skarlet", the name remained."

[A note to Jaded-Raven.... I konw this is painful to look at at wink ]

Good job Jordanman, happy to be your partner even tho your probably pist off grin SHINE

Hmm, ok I like this.
This is definately the best work that either of you two have given out.

However, there are a few little things...grin.

- Lifebars are pretty cool, but what is that "thing" in between them, it could use a few more colours. The "glow" effect, doesn't glow much.
- The glow effect around the win marks doesn't glow much either,
- No shadows?
- Parts of Skarlet's skin look like they have only one colour.
- There is a lack of blood imo, just a few more drops would make it look a little better.
- Scorpion doesn't really look as if he's "grasping" the sword around it's handle, or something.

Good things:
+ The Scorpion edit is very good, I like that alot.
+ The Skarlet edit is pretty cool too (just beware of those colours I mentioned above).
+ Everything in the background fits together nicely, along with the sprites.
+ The blood that's there is pretty cool too.

Definately the best thing that has come from you two, and nice fake smile.

...If that's Scorpions MK4 sprite, you did a "kinda" good job on it. But I'm sorry to say that the so called Scarlet sprite is not very well done. She looks too much like Meleena or one of the two female warriors (Jade & Kitana).

The blood and gore effects could of been alot better, I'm sure of that. As for the stage background, I think it's awesome. But since this was a finisher you could of added the "FATALITY" text to it. My rating for this: 3/5. I'm not saying this is bad, so don't get it the wrong way. You just could of done a little better. So keep up the good work smile.

Oh... And next time, use the .PNG Image format, it's a whole lot better. Plus your picture would have more quality viewing to it.

Just FYI: Scarlet is rumor pallete swamp of all the female ninjas, I didn't add FATALITY because the fatality is berly getting peform (I think)I didn't host the pic Jordanman did, but thanks for the positive and honest feedack.

Im not sure if im still going to make the Scarlet fake pic redo like the last 1 I know some of you might remember.

Ok, well I am a Skarlet fan, so I think its pretty cool. But why did you use a 'C' on her lifebar instead of a 'K'? Oh well, its only a small detail, and it doesn't really matter I suppose.

Anyway, the background ok, its a bit simple, but its still pretty good. The gate looks pretty good in my opinion. The lifebars I like, but is that thing between them the timer? It and the win tokens don't 'glow' much, if you used Paint, you needed to use more colors there. Is that the shadow? It looks like Smoke peeking out from around the tree in MK2. And I don't see one for Skarlet at all.

Scorpion's sprite looks pretty good mostly, though he doesn't look like he's exerting much energy holding Skarlet up on the sword. Skarlet's skin does look one colored around her stomach, and er.. backside, lol. One question though, whats that thing behind Skarlet's lifebar?

Overall, its very original, and thats always very good. It is the best fake either one of you have produced though, good job.

Alright, Skarlet sprite needs work on the colors, the lifebars are very nice, the bg is nice, the scorpion edit is nice(though he looks kinda short, and that is by no means an mk4 scorpion!). overall, a good fake pic, probably the best both of you have ever made.
