It's pretty basic really(somebody is going to hate me for saying that).
The Scorpion sprite needs work. The edited parts need more colors, and the sword on his back doesn't look ''ninja''ish at all.
Actually, Shao Kahn's guts are good. I like them.
The bg, however, is 100% messed up. Wrong darkening technique. Try something else.
overall, 6/10 .

EDIT: oh, I must congratulate you for taking care of the transparency problem on Shao Kahn. I HATE it when people dont even bother to do that.

*Growls at Zentile*
I shall say it, well, actually I shan't, as it's not as bad as some others.
Ok I said it, lol, the phrase is a nice way of saying its not so good, hidden meaning revealed, anyway...

- I feel there should be a little more blood, just a tad. It feels like there's nothing there, in terms of gore.
- As Zentile said, the edit needs more colours.
- As does the sword, it doesn't look quite right.
- If it is MKDA Scorpion, I'm glad you said, as I couldn't tell that from looking. It looks very little like him, you should've tried editing it to look like him more.

Good things:
+ The dark background, well, its the standard paint technique, it looks ok.
+ Shadows are good.
+ Blood you did was good.
+ A so-so fake, pretty good for you.

Keep going as usual, you are improving, but I suggest getting a better program, paint techniques will not feed you for long, lol.

You're back DRF? Well, welcome back, and glad to see you brought a fake with you. I was a bit confused at to what was happening at first, hence my long reply time. Glad you posted a description, that helps out alot sometimes.

I notice you tried to darken the BG, of course you used the Paint way to do it, but its not so bad really. You did what you were supposed to there, of course there are many better programs out there, but the better ones aren't free. The shadows are pretty good, I am pleased to see you working with the minor details in this one. But they see a bit too skewed this time, for my taste, it makes the shadows 'blocky' appearing if you skew to much.

The sprite edits need some more work, the Scorpion in particular. It really doesn't look like MKDA Scorpion, get a render of him, and look at it as you are editing the sprite for assistance, it could be helful. The sword doesn't look right at all, there should be two of them, and that color yellow was just the wrong choice for this. I like the 'guts' of Shao Kahn though, they are quite good actually. Though, that blood 'splat' siiting on the arena floor could use some touching up, and some blood falling down that way would also be a good touch to add. Interesting fatality idea, though, I wouldn't see Scorpion doing this, just my opinion though.

about the darkening,i know how to darken with out the dots now thanks to markthefox for telling me about AOL'S picture editing. so for now it will look more like the game's darkening.this was my first MKDA sprite edit i know i made a MKDA shang tsung but i put alot more work in this sprite edit.-DF
