Welcome back . And good to hear your rite of passage to the real world is going smooth.

Can this image get any more sexier? I'm simply in awe on how amazing it looks. By far one of your best. The editing on Kang knocks what I originally had going on my last fake. Had you darken the BG a bit, the acid effect would've stand out more but that's just my opinion. But everything is well put together. Nice job .

I love the detail in that Liu sprite and the stage is awesome. Great work.

Great to see you back, even if it's just this once and we don't see you weeks/months at a time. I can't find the motivation or even the time to finish the two fake concepts I showed you. Don't let that stop you from contacting me (shit, Illusion still does).

I applaud your best efforts to create a realistic battle scene (as far as the shadows are concerned). You did exceptionally well except a "minor" detail. The shadows for the arena props don't match the shadows for the arena wall. We should see Shang's throne chair "skewed" to the same size as the center "window."

I like the mix between the two stages, I never realized how well those two kind of go together. Nice job. I also like the use of Kang's animality to "recreate" the golden dragon statues. I would have never thought of using that as a prop. Clever. MK2011 Shang Tsung looks pretty good. Although Kahn's chair fits with the stage, but for some reason I don't like Shang in it (probably because his arm position does not match the arm rests).

The fatality itself isn't the most original idea, but the gore effects on Liu Kang's body is done quite well. This is a lot better than the edits you did on Shang when Kahn ripped out his soul. You've made quite some impressive progress during your hiatus. The acid puke looks improved from the original prop, not sure what you did, but it was a good alteration.

I like how you used MK1 reptile and mixed in his reptile head from MK2... and it's nice to see player 1 getting his ass kicked by the NPC.

Send me your blank stage so I can add it to the fakes website.

Thanks guys. =)

Im glad u pointed out the inconsistency with the shadows BS. I never realized. i guess shadows should be the last thing i do instead of prop by prop during my progression.

Sweet.

Oh man, that Shang sprite edit is fantastic. But it doesn't compare to the sheer awesomeness of the Liu Kang acid edit... Brutal, gory, brilliant. I'm a little confused as to why you used an MK3 Liu Kang sprite and an MK1 Reptile sprite, but that's a nitpick really.
