Great job in putting this fake together but here are some few pointers: (Only Flaws)

Overall BG: You should have used the Portal from MKII to get the overall idea and from there, start adding the things you want. For example:

You can cut out that building that looks like a Temple and put it on the corner. Follow by the Portal with the Shadow Priest(s). When you want to make a kickass BG, do not hesitate in making the dimensions of the BG bigger. You’d have more room, and it won’t clutter up the BG. Nice effort, nonetheless.

Lifebars: Tweak around with the opacity. Only the red though. Great touch on the fighting style texts. What font do you use?

Sprites: wow on the Noob Saibot sprite. However, add a glow effect around his eyes so it won’t look like one single color pixel. The Smoke sprite is mediocre and that includes he's look on MK:D; so I definitely don't blame you, wink. The Sub-Zero sprite looks pretty cool. Something I could never do.

Fedegita, you definitely made some progress. I give this fake a solid 8/10 for effort and determination in making it. For your next fake, add details in clothes ripping and maybe some few skin gashes here and there with airbrushing.

Nice job. smile

Man, it is SOOO good to hear from you again! I thought you'd left this forum for good or something, cause i hadnt seen you around and you werent responding to my PM's.
I didnt want to take the BG straight from MKII, I wanted to test a few new little things I had discovered on photoshop. But it definitely didnt turn out as good as expected, so live and learn wink
The eye on Nooby did have a glowing effect when i made the sprite on its own but i made the glowing too thick, so yeah, it does look like one big pixel.
The text I used for the fighting style is called Drakon, and I think I downloaded it from www.dafont.com.

Thank you once again for your help. I have made another fake but your return to the MK forum has inspired me to put a little more effort into it. I'll see how that turns out and PM you for advice along the way, if thats OK wink

Thanks, bro. smile

Anyways, I apologize for the inconvenience. I had to make a new account due to characters in my name (§) which CCShadow did not code when making this site. A lot of people were having a hard time PMing me, and I also believe my dragon points were not getting accumulating because of that.

Take it easy.
