NICE!! ILIKE IT!!!!!!! 5/5... seriously..
I love the arena... it would really be a cool deathdtrap...

The fatality idea is kinda nice, a bit confusing at the beggining, but nice.
The concept for the arena is cool, but the fake itself isn't well done.

I like your idea, it's a kool looking fatality.

And I like how the screen zoomed out, so you can see more of the action like in the Samurai show down games.

It works well with this fatality.

MS paint isn't very good for editing, but if you got you hands on photoshop, or some more advanced program like that it would help your fakes to look better.


Ideas for improvement:

1= The background portal is too pixelated. You could increase the pixel count on that image.

2= Since there is lava everywhere, things should be illuminated by it.
Examples= The bottom of the bridge, the bottom of scorpions thrown, there could also be an orange light on top of the bridge instead of that Violet/pink it has now.

3= Where are they? If they are in hell, they should be in a cave you shouldn't see a portal or the moon.

If Hell is another dimension then what you have is OK because then it doesn't have to be under ground.

4= The hands coming out of the lava should be at different heights, so they aren't all exactly the same distance out of the lava. That would just make it look more realistic.

5= The blood looks pretty good, but maybe have more of it spraying away from the tornado.

6= Smoke needs a shadow, so does the tornado.

7= Make the outer edges of the tornado blurry.

8= Make some parts of Baraka's body transparent, so it looks like the smoke is overlapping him, but not completely. So it looks like part of his body is in side the smoke and part of the same body is sticking out of it.

9= If the smoke is spinning that fast, you wouldn't have the puffs visible, instead, they would blend in to the smoke and be looking like the real tornado.

10= You might experiment with more smoke effects, like have some of it spiraling around smoke's body and some of it spinning a little further from the tornado, like it's coming in to it.

11= The screen should be dark.

These are all things you can do pretty easily in Photoshop.

most people dont know how to do all that blood...

You talking to me?

If so, all it takes is practice, if you get stuck ask questions.

All the suggestions I posted are very easy to do, you just have to know how to do it. That's what we are here for.

I should be getting my other cpu hooked up pretty soon so I can get a better paint program to use (dad doesn't like me installing/d/ling stuff on this cpu.) I'm pretty excited to play around with more advenced image editors, you can definatly expect to see more fakes/art in the future.

Also, you said that I should increase the amount of pixels in the background, is this possible with MS paint? I just used the backgrounds at MK warehouse which are really to small to be used as BGs, once I get my other cpu hooked up I'm going to d/l mame and just rip backgrounds.
Also, I've been looking through the free hosting/image edit thread and I was wondering, which of these image editors has worked best for you?
