This fake's main purpose was to get some practice at doing my own special effects and basic sprite editing, but at a detailed level. I transformed MK3 sonya into MK1 sonya. it gave me some good practice on shading. i then made MK3 subzero into a more respectable-looking ninja. i never liked his unmasked uniform to begin with so this was fun to do. venomark and bs thought itd be a good idea i take my sprite editing a little at a time. i think the idea came to help me. we'll see what u all think about it too.
I'd like to throw a shout out to BS for giving me a lot of pointers on how this can be achieved. it was so easy and it turned out so cool (in my opinion anyway).
Rain effects:
- it was as simple as drawing slanted lines with the paint brush tool. then smudging it, and then sharpening it and applying an opacity (a little see-through). i drew maybe 10 lines (first the bigger rain drops with less opacity to represent the "closer" rain and then the smaller more transparent rain for the drops further away)
Ice Shield:
- draw a circle, and use the flood fill tool with a transparent gradient; this will give it a "circle" effect.
- i used marble paint brush to draw the outer effects on the globe where the rain is hitting the orb.
Clouds:
-A mixture of the clouds from MK2's evil monastery, MK4 props, and MK1 clouds. use the burn and dodge tool to make areas lighter/darker.
Lightning:
- I cheated... and used PSP's picture tube tool. I guess ill have to practice making my own lightning, hehe
The Arena is "Buhdda's Bridge"
here are my sprite edits. I did them 4 times lol

First things first. Sonya is pretty much spot-on (wow you even removed her hideous earrings) except the gloves and the lack of here forearm braces. I suck at drawing hands, I know, but it would have been nice to see you at least try. If it turned out THAT ugly that the fake would have been ruined, at least show your attempt off to the side. I think having both gloves and the brace would have looked awkward, so I can understand your exclusion of the braces. Great job drawing the skin on her ankles. The shading looks good. One other complaint is the blurriness around her crotch (the black part).
The stage probably wasn't your focus, so no surprise it wasn't your best or most creative. What makes the arena so eye-pleasing are the choices of color; particularly the blue backdrop. The clouds look fucking flawless.
The special effects are awesome. I can't compliment the rain drops hitting the ground since I know you took them from MK4... but the rain itself turned out better than I had imagined. Awesome job. I just fear though, that they kind of flood (lol pun intended) the image with too much. The "haze" around the globe is a nice touch but it doesn't make sense that it's on all sides of the globe where the rain isn't touching it (notice the angle of the rain).
That aggressor font looks sexy. Or is it just me? Sub-Zero's new costume looks cool by the way.
You should move on to MK4 sprites. They're pretty basic and easy to do. You've done Fujin already, so now do some more. Just please don't resize MK4 skins into your sprite edits.
Did you notice she is too close to his ice orb/shield? Watch the MK Movie again.
EDIT: Hmm.. with that said, maybe the whole haze thing on the globe is my misinterpretation. I thought it was drawn there to represent an effect of the water hitting the orb.
Logic now comes into play: wouldn't the rain drops freeze and start stabbing Sub-Zero to death?
sorry to ruin all the fun.
