A quickie? Looks like someone works at Netherrealm Studios XD!

Honestly, teach me master

I actually want to get with saizero (lol) to create a tutorial for prospective fake artists. Of all the newbies that have come across here, she has impressed me the most and her methods are not complicated at all. You and others would benefit a lot from her "quick and simple" tricks that actually generate fascinating results.

I like it. I don't think Emerald was ever considered a rumor but she seems like a cool character that could fit in with the mythology. Not too fond of Hsu Hao as an actual MK character but the sprite is composed soundly. The action is great but the special effects are too translucent. They need to be more vibrant since the battle takes center stage here. Background is good but nothing spectacular - would've preferred the MK 2011 version of Goro's Lair.

Overall score: 6/10

Of course they are UR! Not like you were going to say anything nice, anyway!

It was a fun fake. I love the hsu hao sprite. It gave me an idea...

I really like this one a lot!


My complaints:

1st (this is a bigger one) - Kung Lao's hanging corpse is defying gravity unless it is glued to the wall or unless there is someone off screen having fun pushing his body to swing left-right lol. His body should be hanging down in a vertical position, not so diagonal. This position would work if the other arm (his right) was still there and attached to the other chain, but since it's not he and the chain should be hanging down straight from that thing they're attached to on the wall. I like the concept though, nice one.

2nd (not so big) - as cool as those life bars look I'm not sure how useful they'd be in an actual game since it'd be kinda hard to tell how much life exactly a player still has left (due to the fading effect between the red and blue colors).

And a possible 3rd complaint - that skeleton lying on the floor in the front should/could be down-scaled a bit. It looks a bit too big this way, unless it's a skeleton of some huge character.


But overall, I like it a lot. I'm diggin' the atmosphere. Good job!

I think the creators of MK1 would disagree.

Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you (some-what) liked the fake.

Either of three things:

1) It is like Moloch's Lair having an opening on the top for light on the walls.
2) There is an invisible torch lighting up the walls.
3) Invisible Light lighting up the walls.

Snip, snip, snip . . .

Great collaborative work guys. Your backgrounds are getting better and better saiZero, and I'm impressed with how the weapons turned out as well. That Hsu Hao sprite is excellent BlackSaibot.

Glad you like my background

I'm pretty sure saiZero made that sprite, as well as BlackSaibot said about his background ^

Do you people even read the credits I spent countless hours writing!?!

Really glad you also posted an effect-less one. The effects are cool... but its nice to get the crispness of this fake.

Emerald's sprite is simple... ninja upper body sindel lower body. But it works! she looks good, appealing to the eye.

Hsu Hao also looks really good.

LOVE the quality of the gore on Kung lao... my only beef is that he is hanging diagonally and since there is only 1 chain... he is flying. And that really draws attention.

Also... really love the weapons. That Kama looks really badass.

Love the background, so fucking gritty.
