Post your comments to my submission here.

I first submitted this fake to the mk5.org fan art, but since I waited my ass off and in the end it wasn't uploaded, I decided to post it here myself.
It's a remake of a fake I did a very long time ago, which sucked. I like this one, even though the Reptile sprite is terrible, I was more worried about the bg, as usual.

EDIT: Props to TimsMK for turning my fake into such a super fantastic jpg. Thank you, Tim. Oh thank you. HAPPY NOW?! Jesus.
[edit: PLEASE resize your images and cutdown the filesize if you decide to link here again...the dimensions warped the forum layout, and the filesize is a bit much for dialup users to wait on. Thanks.]
You already know me loves the background.
Definately reminds me of the movie.

So:

Well, as it's a movie thingy, no need for lifebars, fair enough.
- Yes, you are right, the Reptile edit is a little off par with the Kang one, which is pretty decent.
- Try skewing the shadows less, and make it match the light source, i.e. the fire thingy in the background (i.e. the shadows would be coming towards us).

Good things:
+ Loving the background, ncie props and as usual, you managed to turn CHARACTERS into props, lol.
+ All put together nicely.
+ Reminded me of the movie.

Yup, as usual another nice background, and the fake trails behind it a little, lol. Nice work.

sad, I can't find the Kung Lao. Oh well.. I'll keep looking but I thought I should go ahead and post.

Yeah, the BG is fantastic. The only real issue is the lighting problem that has already been mentioned... and perhaps the way the back wall switches textures around the prop, but other than those things, it's great. Very reminding of the movie BG, not that I've seen in lately.. but that's beside the point. Even if it wasn't based from the movie, its still a nice background. Liu Kang sprite is pretty good, no obvious flaws I can see. Reptile.. well, you know. Using a solid color as you did will do that.

About the submission problem, I believe your image was too large. Its about 581KB, and I believe the limit is 350KB.

Looks like a leg is coming out of the left side of the prop to the left of the battle sequence. Thats the only thing I've been able to find as of yet.

Ok, then that must be part of Kung Lao on the RIGHT side of that same prop... or then again... maybe not.

Horrible sprite editing. =( Damn. You've done way better than this before man.

I only like the window, the rest of the background doesn't really "fit" with the MK backgrounds.

NO!

I wanted the lollypopp! waa! sadfurioussadfurioussadfurioussadfurioussadfurioussadfurioussadfurioussad

















Anyway, the background does indeed look nice and it does remind me of the place in that part of the movie. The actual sprites themselves aren't that bad and I didn't really mind them. Other than that, I give this pic a 9 out of 10.

The sprite editing is pretty horrible. So is the background. It's boring and the texture is repetitive. Shading is inconsistent on the "rocks" or whatever they are. The fact that Liu Kang doesn't have a shadow is odd, as well. I'd give it a 1 out of 10, just because I've never seen anything like it before.
