My kontest entry was the 5th revision. Originally it was far from the masterpiece shown. The stage, I tried making it from memory/the far view screenshot on MK Warehouse. Here are the steps of my horridly chaotic creative process. I may show the worksheet for Cyrax/Sweettooth. I don't want it getting resized.
Everything is made from MK1-U3 props, all 2d, no renders/resizing/google pictures.
As per what I percieved the stipulations to mean: a 3d era MK character vs any non MKvsDC videogame character, in a 2d representation of a 3d MK stage. No fancy pants Photoshop witchcraft.
All edited in MS Paint.
Rev 5, Kontest Entry
The finishing touches that went from lazin' to blazin': wall reflection added, cracks added, blood drops added. Final FPK Entry
Rev 4
Hand drew better gears after watching gameplay on YouTube. Added Sweet Tooth's knife, but this pose makes the stomache showing look like a shitty rectangle.
Rev 3
All the floor gears were crappy resized edits of the tip of the Cyrax chest chainsaw I made years ago.
Rev 2
I couldn't make out the bg at first, so I made shitty pixelated resized Cyrax parts to fill in. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking with these.
Rev 1
The gold is from a dragon logo from Armageddon screenshot. I used them in my 2nd Puzzle Kombat fake/name tag banners that never took off. I made the 2nd revision, cause I realized they were part of a render, thus disqualifying then supposedly I thought.
Chamber of Artifacts/Glass Machine/Red Dragon Temple
Chamber of Artifacts Gears
The floor, I initially made a couple years back, but nobody cared. I failed to notice I made the grid with wood planks. Must've been too dark too see at the time.
The glass color is from the lava in UMK3 Hell. I redid the grid with colors from the MKII Armory pillar base.
The wall is based on the MKII Tower, the grey ceiling is the from the middle walkway from the MK1 Warrior Shrine.
The rune stones are MK3 stage ascention rubble, the yellow wall inset/rune paint/flagpole/doorway is Cyrax pallette.
The red flag is edited MK1 champ ribbon.
2013 Sprite edits
Human Cyrax is made from:
MK3 Kano, MKII Jax/Shang, MKII Scorpion/Smoke kneepads.
Bombs are edited MKII Scorpion/Smoke kneepads. Saw is edited from UMK3 Scorpion's axe
Sweet Tooth is made from:
MK1 Raiden's pants
MK3 Kabal's pink blast is spot pallette
MK2 Kang torso edited into my Masked Guard spries, crappy clown face hand drawn.
MK3 Kabal's campfire is pallette of hand drawn fire, edited from Scorpion head in my Final Confrontation fake.
MK3 Kabal's forearms
MK3 Jax' boots, edited brown for my FFVII SOLDIER sprite edit
Human Sektor is made from:
MK3 Kano

Nice of you to share this with us. It's interesting seeing you go through the various stages of completion.
I've seen some pretty bad Human Cyrax sprites in my day (all so very unoriginal, and some quite shitty). This is honestly the best 2D one that I have seen.
Your arena has quite a bit of work put it into it and I was (still am) impressed. I can't wait to see more from you man.

The arena is a WIP, I'm still trying to make the lower floor, and the green gem.
Fix up the gear center. I know the symbol above the door is supposed to be the same as the MK4 Shaolin Temple, the circle maze looking design.
I'm not happy with how Sektor's facial hair turned out.
I love how Cyrax bombs turned. I tried to emulate the glass jars filled with yellow liquid. What are these called in Diablo II, Fulminating potion?

Thanks for sharing Tetra. A lot of work clearly went into the final kontest entry.
While human Sektor's face and hair are a little iffy, it still turned out to be a pretty solid sprite edit. I hope you'll use him (or some variation of him) in a future work.
