Ok, this is a simple one really. I guess this is supposed to show off Jax's brute strength... but there are a fair amount of problems with this.

First, the shadows immedietely catch my eyes. I am glad you are trying to add them into your fakes now, but these are not good at all. It doesn't look like you skewed them at all, and if you did it was very little. They also seem... blocky for some reason. The blood doesn't show up in the shadows as well. Lifebars are pretty much ok I guess, its not perfectly in the middle, but its not that noticable so you probably shouldn't worry about that.

The ends of Jax's arms look like they need more colors to me, and his left arm looks out of proportion, but that could be just me. Jax's pose for this fatality was well done, but Sonya's was not. She still looks like she is kicking her legs, and the top part of Sonya doesn't look natural either. The blood on Jax's arm is not the same color as the rest of the blood, its too light.

The idea could be better if Jax was holding parts of a victims body in either head, in something similar to his win pose. Just a thought, because this needs more originality to it.

Oh, poor ~Crow~.
Jax's sprite is direct from the game, so I guess the MK Team did do a good job . Think of his chopping fatality.

Way too basic, really.
I'm not keen on this, it is very very simple, and poorly executed.

Lifebars and Backgrond
- Win marks are the wrong side of the lifebar for MK3.
- The background has not dimmed at all.
- MK2 texts in the lifebars.

Shadows
- They are in no way skewed.
In paint go to:
MENU IMAGE > SKETCH/SKEW
Then a window opens up, the skew option is the second one, you should enter about 40%. THEN colour them black.
- Second, line them up properly by the feet.

The sprites
- Jax's is from the game, fine.
- Sonya. Her running sprite? Wha? Either way, an odd idea, and it doesn't work well at all.

Other things:
- The idea is a little naf, and way too simple. The sprites, while in the middle, use up hardly any of the space. Surely you could have done something to occupy the extra space.

Good things:
+ The blood is quite good, not excessive, and works quite well.

Overall, this pic isn't really very good. It's far too simple and has many of the little things (that are almost essentials missing).
Keep trying, check out ]ombat's post at the top of the forum for all the little tricks that I keep telling people. You can do every one of them with paint!!!!!
That link is here.

actually i did skew the shadows to 45% i new they looked odd but i figured its better than no shadows, this pic was for the MKW Fake Federation, and they put me in the leightweight division as u can probably tell , thanx guys ill go check out kombats post agen and fill in the stuff i messed up.

I STRONGLY disagree.
See below:


As you can see BNC (lol) you did the wrong function.
They are both in the same dialog box, so it's understandable.
But others should use this as a small tutorial to the shadows, I think I'll post it in ]ombat's thread.

o i didnt even notice that i did stretch thanx alot

Good Example on the Shadows tim! That is how I make them but I mainly use "Distort", it does Strecht and Skew manually!

Oh, BNC, when are you going to learn?

Anyway, about the pic
it's pretty basic, really.

You pasted all the sprites...I guess it's not really that bad that it's Sonya's running sprite getting ripped appart...
Anyway, you should at least try to make your own blood, but the pic itself is ok.

Same feedback at MKW:
I like the way you tried to make a reason attemt to add shadows but next time take some notes on the game or tell some1 to help you out. I don't like the fake pic that much expecially the quality which damage your fake pic. The lifebars could use more work just add WINS on top of the lifebars and try to get the MK3 or MKT texts don't use MK2 fonts. The screen should be dark since a FATALITY is in action. The way Jax is cutting Sonya could use more detail like his really in action and that goes to Sonya which look like shes not in pain at all.

You should take your time more, and try to get some new programs and try sharemation.com because your "host" ruins your fake pic even more by saving it as a jpeg.

Ack! Ignore that comment I made then, lol. The sprite choice was not good then, I wasn't expecting the chopping sprite... why did you use it if Jax is pulling Sonya apart? Ahh, it was an ugly fatality by Jax in the game itself! A 'pulling' sprite would have been better to use.
