MK2 Fake (Baraka Slicin' Sub-Zero) My FIRST!

05/03/2004 03:55 AM EDT

Artist's Remarks:

This is my first attempt at a fake ever. I used the MKWarehouse and Photoshop 7. Took me about an hour and a half. Tell me what ya like and just wanna slap me for doin'. Oh yes, the fatality is supposed to be something that would happen if, say Sub jumped above him. He sliced him in half while he was in the air. And BTW, his arms are motion blurred to give the effect and kinda show what is happening. Enjoi!

Hehehe! Poor Sub's!!

It's not bad doode! I think you could have done more with the bluring effect of Baraka's arms. I'm sorta luke warm about the background. Those pillars and the wasteland don't seem to mesh well. But like I said it's not bad for your first fake.

Rating: 3/5

Good job for you first fake. I like the fact that the screen is not cluttered with too much going on. The cut job looks good on Sub. And not too much blood, another good thing. Now, I dont think the pillar belongs in this background. It looks out of place and the timer should be counted down cuz as of right now the round is just starting. But other than that I think you did a very good job at your first fake. Just practice some more on the little things and you'll be fine. 3/5

Wow, I'm suprised it's finally up. Anyways, the counter is at 99 cause like me, I always turn the timer off. The towers are there just too add more to the background, which I thought fit in decently. Anyways, my edits are as follows:
*Blood on Sub.
*Purple moon in background.
*Towers (obviously).
*Blood on Baraka, for "realism".
*Shadows.
*Statue behind Subs' legs.
*Grass on lower part of towers.

I believe that sums it up.

You forgot that when digitizing MK, the team made sure there was no blurring in any shots.
Other than that, fantastic job for a first timer.

I added the blur effect to give a "feel" to the quickness of the fatality, and a feeling of movement that you cannot otherwise get out of a still image.

It OK. First I think you should have used your own background. These have been used alot and arent very original. The pillar thing you added in the back doesnt look very well. Sub-zeros upper body in the floor looks really good, but his lower body attached to barakas blade doesnt looke very well. I also dont like the blood above baraka. Overall nice attempt. 3/5

For your first attempt at making a fake pic, it's not bad man. I see some effort put in into this. I like the blood and Sub-Zero's pose a lot. Couple of things like you mention:
No Wins
Screen should be darken because it is a Fatality.
I see purple airbrush on the screen, which isn't very nice.

Other than that great job. Keep em coming.
/Edit: Sorry, I didn't know that was the moon. You might want to make it bigger and maybe hide it behind the "buildings".

Sub's sprite looks great. The blood on Sub's upper torso is great. The blood above Baraka's head is out of place though. The timer should be below 99 as well. The only other thing is Baraka's legs should not look that "uniform"

great fake i like the idea,

if you want me to get picky i will.... ok

*life bars are to high the timer should sit above the life bars

*the timer needs to be below 99, (even if you turn the timmer off this is a fake, looks lazy)

* life bars are draining the wrong way!

* win icons should be closer to the end of the bar

*screen could be darkened

other than those few picky things its a great fake, i really like the chhoice of sprite on the upper half of sub-zero.

This is quite nice, I like the effect on the floor and what you did with the Sub-Zero sprite.
The shadows are kinda weird but that's not a big problem, everything else in the pic is well done, good job. =)
