This is a fake I did recently ( lol i got a load of free time these days...), and as you see there are a couple of flaws in it ( I couldnm't do the name bars since they will be covering the head of Cage... so try and not comment on the lifebars). Can you comment on it and please give me tips etc on what should I have done better?grin... thanks. PS: I got the idea from one f Aculeus' works. SO basically e inspired me for doing this fake with ermac.

I won't rate it, just point out what's weird.
Ermac's too orange, when he should be red.
Ermac's shadow at his fee is terrible; make it an actual shadow, not black scribbles. The thick black scribble over his head is also useless.
To the right of the picture, I can see that you left some random lighter patches; get rid of them, as it makes it look like you did this in a rush and didn't bother finishing to shade it.
You used upside-down spikes on the bridge... That's not a problem, but the fact that the shadows on them are inconsistent isn't good; use the same spike over and over again, don't use random ones.
The green "power" around Johnny Cage doesn't seem consistent either, particularly around the torso (not enough on top, or too much on the bottom). Overall, I feel that there's too much of the "power" around him.
Also, this concept looks too similar to UltimateRyu's Ermac fake.

OK, the platform, spiky bridge abomination, whatever the fuck it is, looks repulsive. Johnny Cage is unsightly too, he is very dark and the energy around him is deformed; better yet... disfigured.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but Ermac is orange. Even if he is orange; he doesn't look shaded enough. BTW, Ermac is red.

The backround has some opacity of white on it, which makes me wonder why, and there is smudges on the backround. WTF!? I thought you were trying to make a fake, not a signature.

There are no shadows and no lifebars. I won't mark you for lifebars because in some fakes, they are not required.

This all sums up to 2/5.

It's fine to bump fan submission stuff.

I miss fakes...

Orange Ermac? It seems like you were more like playing with PhotoShop with this one. Cool effects nevertheless. A member from Finland? I must be the Finland's equivalent of Reptile in Mortal Kombat Online nowadays. We're a small nation though.
