Goro

2011-04-17T22:11:00.001-07:00

This is my take on Goro. I originally tried to work with the idea that he is described as being half dragon, but after a few sketches I decided to use the face and body style, which I always really liked, that appeared in the 1995 film. I added a few bumps and ridges to his face and made the legs a length that fit his elongated torso a little better. As for costuming, I decided to go with a gladiator look for him. Something about his character and personality made me think that look would work for him. The equipment was inspired by the series "Spartacus" along with other equipment and costuming I found in searches on-line.

The Avengers

2011-03-28T22:16:00.000-07:00

Another pin-up for Megacon 2011. I used the Ultimate Marvel designs of Iron Man and Thor. I went for a more Kirby inspired Hulk. For Captain America I went with a more modern looking military uniform incorporating the color scheme of his usual costume.

X-Men: First Class

2011-03-28T22:14:00.000-07:00

This is a pin-up of my designs for the original X-men I did for a print at Megacon 2011.

Raiden

2011-03-28T22:05:00.001-07:00

This is a redesign I did of Mortal Kombat's Raiden. I know the name Raiden comes from the Japanese thunder god, but I decided to use the Chinese thunder god, Lei Gong, for inspiration. Because of Mortal Kombat having a lot do with the Shaolin monks of China, I went with Chinese mythology. Lei Gong is described as having blue-green skin, claws, birds wings, a beak, and carries a hammer and drum. Now, I kept him human looking but liked the idea of the blue-green skin. The clothing was inspired by an image I found of the god, plus other Chinese styles. I did my best to mix the two ideas so that it would still resemble what most know Raiden to look like, while also being an original, interesting take on the character.

Liu Kang

2011-03-28T22:04:00.001-07:00

Here's my redesign of Mortal Kombat's Liu Kang. For this design I pretty much just went with the classic Shaolin monk look for him. I kept his more typical red and black color scheme though to keep him somewhat recognizable.

Sonya Blade

2011-03-28T22:03:00.000-07:00

Considering Sonya Blade is supposed to be a member of a Special Forces unit, I wanted to move her away from the spandex and leather and into something more military looking. I understand that she is only wearing an underarmour sports bra here, but this would only be while participating in a tournament match. I plan on working up an image of her in all her SF gear later on. In case you're wondering, the camouflage pattern here is called multicam. It's the current pattern being issued to U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

Johnny Cage

2011-03-28T21:49:00.000-07:00

Here's Johnny Cage. I went with the idea that he's a UFC fighter-turned-actor and is participating in the tournament to prove that he still has what it takes. So, I went with a UFC look using the typical black, red and blue color scheme he's often seen wearing.

Kano

2011-03-28T21:47:00.000-07:00

For Kano's design I went with the idea that he is a terrorist or mercenary, considering the U.S. Army is after him. I tried to give him a look that didn't stray too far from his original idea and kept the light tan, red, and black colors he is often seen wearing.

Scorpion

2011-03-28T21:46:00.000-07:00

Here we have everyone's favorite undead ninja, Scorpion. I used the face mask and belt design seen in MK vs DC. For the rest of the uniform I used more "traditional" ninja attire and added some samurai armor, mostly because I thought it made the design look more interesting.

Sub-Zero

2011-03-28T21:43:00.000-07:00

So, here's my take on Sub-Zero. The mask is influenced by the MK vs DC Sub-Zero. The shirt is in the style of the character Iron Monkey from the movie of the same name. The protective gear is similar to that of riot control gear. I have him carrying two chinese swords on his back because any assassin should always have swords. Considering his Chinese background, I tried to incorporate elements that would show that, like the shirt, swords, and designs on the protective gear.

Reptile

2011-03-28T21:39:00.000-07:00

For Reptile I went more with the animal, rather than the more human look for him. I obviously used an iguana for reference, and shortened the nose a bit. I was going to use a raptor, but the iguana just had more interesting features. The costume is modeled after some Mayan and Aztec reference that I gathered. I figured I would give him a jungle look considering his place of origin.
