New year, new animation. I had some free time, so I decided to make a quick animation based on Rain. It's not really my best work, but I do like how the background ended up looking. The shadow priest are from MKII Tsung's ending and everything was ripped/edited by me. Feedback, please.

I've always been a fan of you old school fakers who don't shit all over MK with photoshop and whatever other editing tools you can get your hands on.

I love it illusion! Always been a fan!!! grin

Where's the other dudes theses days? MinusZero, VenoMark, FatSatan, BlackSaibot, Slelica, etc?

I like the background, I like the fataltiy concept, the one thing that I'm just going to question is why are there lines near Kano when he explodes? After the organs and bones fly everywhere, they leave behind lines.

The background is awesome, you did a great job with it, I especially like how smoothly the clouds move during the fatality. The fatality itself is nicely done, though I do wish you had put in the FATALITY text (I liked how it was done in MK2, so I'm just picky). Is this a sign that you'll be making more fakes/animations this year?

That's true, I think a lot of people think fake pics/animations have to be riddled with special effects. Simplicity is the key. Thank you smile. And you forgot several other veterans: MKRocket, Sub-Zedox, evildevil, Hydro, SaiBot and MaxDam. Most of these artists just moved on with their life but there some new artists that are also a threat haha. Ain't that right, fedegita? wink. Blacksaibot is still my mentor, however it's been a minute since I heard from him.

Thank you grin. And honestly, I don't see no lines that you speak of.

Thank you sir. I didn't want to include the Fatality text 'cause for some reason, I just wanted to keep it traditional from when you lose against a hidden character in MKII. And I will be making a few animations here and there. It's just a matter of coming out with a hot idea. And of course, if I have time wink.

I love the background. The Shadow Priests from Shang's MKII ending are such a good fit here. Nice editing!

I don't see any lines, can you do a screenshot indicating where they are?

Some very talented animators, whenever I make animations I try and use the old school methods as well.

I agree that it's a great background, you did well with the shadow priests.

Although technically concept fits Raiden more than Rain (since he can only summon lightning from above rather than conjur up electricity), I'm much happier you used Rain so we get the whole "secret character" MKII vibe (no bias or anything here!).

Oh and super congrats on making this look like an authentic MKII ani/fake. Simplicity's definitely the key and it's much more effective to use MK props well rather than going for the photoshopped look. I'd love to see you do more of these old-school animations.

Must be your browser or something else, I don't see any lines either.

I like the fatality mucho. Simple is always better than a cluttered up screen, with extra, unnecessary effects.

If you want to borrow an idea of mine, Illusion, I've had it hanging out in the back of my mind for a long time, I just don't do animations. PM me if you're interested and I can story board it or whatever. Maybe even do some editing for the sprites if need be to update them, make them work.

Thanks ya'll for the feedback. It means a lot smile. Anyone is free to either PM me or post their ideas and I will make them as animation because I don't do fake pics no more. I still want to reach the level of old school artists that put animations on the map: TimsMK, }{ombat, Jordanman and Flash-Crash. Damn, I miss the good old days wink.

Hey illusion,

Just wondering if you were inspired by the classic fakes. I found this online, it must be 15 years old:



Fakes like this were almost magical because they were done at a time when it seemed almost impossible to do (at least to me) because of the scarcity of sprites and tools. There are a couple of them out there that have certainly inspired me.

LOL! I was looking for this fake when I was drafting my animation. Great find man. I remember I saw this fake at some site called, "Reino de Mortal Kombat" but the site does not exist no more but the fake stayed stuck on my mind for quite some time. Let me know if you got some more hehe wink.

omfg I missed out on this thread while being banned....

2011? Shit this thread makes me feel old. Ah crap I'm 30!

I miss the golden age of MKO's fan art forum...
Holy shit, I remember seeing this! Why the hell didn't I comment on it? I love Rain...

"Now prepare to return to Outworld"
Nice touch, like previously said, good old school secret fight vibe.
Which is the secret fight though, and who's the unlocked character, Kano or Rain?

Fantastic. Great to see you're still killing it. Y'all were a large part of MKO, even if many of us didn't give you proper credit. You and the others are the lords of the Fan Art Submission Forum.

In memory of Prince's death, I WAS going to do an animation.
I came across this on DeviantArt.
I love the thought of palette swapping the MKII ninjas to purple, so that really gave me a bit of inspiration. I hate their UMK3 design, and MK1 has limits compared to MKII.

I was going to kind of recreate this but I didn't have a way to end it, and I wasn't going to make him explode. Plus it was like days after the news anyway, so I just let it go and made a Raiden animation instead.

Hey, nice job, 2011 illu§ion. How did I not comment on this back in the day?
Anyway, digging the SNES sprites and MKII Rain! 9/10.
