He Awaits at the Top

06/24/2014 12:06 AM EDT

Artist's Remarks:
This is my drawing of Shao Kahn from MK II's arcade ladder, but with some of my ideas mixed in with the classic look. I added some bone growths to his jawline and elbows to give him more of a brutal look along with a cape to give the pose a dynamic feeling. I will do a colored version separate from this one. ****Please comment if you rate!!

That is one sexy Shao Kahn. It just shows how much his MK9 outfit sucked! XD

Awesome job, as usual, EK. ^^

Well said. Couldn't put it any better, actually.

You did great work here sir. I was curious if that was facial hair as well as bone growths along his jawline and chin?

Thank you all very much!! I'm glad you all like it.

@Jaded-Raven
His mk9 costume kind of grew on me, but I did hope they woul have used the costume in the cg trailer.

@UlcaTron
The spikes on his chin are bone growths too. I designed them to look like he had a beard though.

The colored version of this will be submitted soon. I hope you all will like that one as much as this version!

Super bad ass indeed. You should've made him crushing a Skull with his hand but that's just my opinion

. Nice job.

Thank you very much! I wanted to keep the pose close to how Shao kahn looked atop the MK II arcade ladder.

Actually my fave villain is Shang Tsung. I know weird right. I like to draw Kahn just cause he is interesting character to draw. I checked out you animation and it looks great!

Pure bad ass!

I would have liked it a tad more had his pose been like it was in MK2 (fist up in the air). Still, this is great.

Any chance of a colored version?

His right (our left) bicep and forearm muscles should be toned down a bit, though. They make him look disproportionate.
