Not really Reikahn as we remember it. More like Armageddon's Reiko.
In case you don't know, Kahn is in his MK Shaolin Monks attire.

I promised to saiZero that if she made a decent fake, I would too. Since she made a pretty good Fujin sprite, I finished a Reiko concept I had started.

I'm not too proud of the straps on Reiko's arms or his gloves. This is the FIRST time I did a shadow in an official fake, and probably the last. This is also the first time I try to do draw my own health bars... and also a last.



I don't have much progression to show those who are interested in how I sprite edit, but here is what I have:


and Just for fun, a little before and after animation...


My only regret is not having the entire week to have completed Reiko.

This is great BS. The comparison animation really highlights how much work was put into the Kahn sprite. Reiko turned out pretty sweet as well, as did the lifebars.

Nice one and cool to see Reiko. His pants, boots and cloth look great and I also like the special effect applied to the charge move. I'm just a bit put off by his waist, I think I'd look better if it were a bit slimmer and his overall skin color a bit more tan like in MKA.

Definitely a good effort but not really digging the re-sized Kahn model. As already pointed out it looks a bit awkward, especially around the waist/abdomen. A faithful reproduction of the MK4 stage but everything looks a little too fake/sanitary. Sorry but the helmet charge effects could use a lot of work. They look too static and don't flow around dynamically. Special move effects should have an element of randomness that capture their unpredictable "bursts" if you will. 2/5

I really wish they had gone through with the "Reiko is really Shao Kahn unmasked" story instead of "Reiko likes to sneak into the throneroom and wear the helmet"

Fucking Midway...

But Reiko is puny compared to Shao Kahn. And let's not forget Kahn's demon face under the mask. If they had gone with the "Reiko is really Shao Kahn" story, they would've had to bend over backwards to make it plausible. Or just use the "It was Magic!" excuse again.

Given that Reiko is a general in Kahn's army, I think their way worked out better; with him looking to take the crown for himself.
Sweet. I didn't even notice Kahn was edited until the komparison image. I like this. The glowing effects seem like blocks instead of round rings.

It's not magic, Reiko hides his demon face behind his deep goth eyeliner.

That's why Sindel's hot, and not a gross reanimated corpse/zombie, and how MK3 Shang stays young after failing Kahn in MKII.

Yaaaay finally a new fake from BS grin grin

I frickin LOVE ur fakes. Even tho there's so much editing it still looks believable and not out of the realm of mortal kombat.

I know the edits on MKSM khan is not as extensive as reiko, but can u show some edit progress on kahn cuz it was obvously more than just changing the color on his samurai-like armor. I love the addition of his glowing eyes!

Reiko looks great. But like others pointed out his waist needs work. Skin is hard to edit, I know LOL. U did a good job on his arm straps I think. His gloves r a lot better than ur MKDAquanchi gloves/hands so its obvious u improved.

I like special effects bcuz theyr obviously ur own creation and not something pre-made that u just pasted in there. I wish ud teach me special effects cuz I dunno how to make them on my own.

The stage looks fine to me. Then again ur the one who taught me arenas so maybe I don't see as many errors as some one else.

I really wanna learn how to create armor too. I have a great idea I've always wanted to do but I can't get it to look good. sad

I'll be more than happy to help you with the armor. I'll dig through my fake directory and see what save files I have of Shao Kahn and post them up. If that's not enough help just flood my email like you always do. wink

There's not much to say, saiZero... I followed the same process as Reiko.
Drawing outlines where I want. Taking color samples. Drawing different shades of that color sample. Sharpening areas to create shading/depth in some areas.Botta bing botta boom.

His shin guards were already created for me lol. All I had to do was manipulate them (and draw my own knee pad looking thing on the top).
^ That's how I do stuff too. Sometimes I make parts seperately. My worksheets aren't so orderly. Mostly cluttered with copies of stuff so I can try different things without losing the pieces I like.

I didn't mean to demean your edit, I didn't notice cause it's not a drastic change, like sleeves, pants or sandals. Kahn is Kahn, red with bigger spikes. It's a quality edit, that's Shaolin Monks' version, no?
