Mortal Kombat movie concept – Sheeva

josh — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 03:49:02 +0000

Next Mortal Kombat concept. I wanted to tackle one of the non-human characters next so I went with Sheeva. One thing I’ve felt the character has lacked over the years is attractiveness and sex appeal compared to the other female characters in the series so the goal was to make her far more easier on the eyes and even a bit more alluring.

Oh and before anyone asks the face isn’t of anyone in particular, it’s a mish-mash of ladies, so this woman doesn’t exist.

Mortal Kombat movie concept – Sub Zero

Been a while since i posted anything, so I thought given it’s Christmas I’d continue with the Mortal Kombat film concepts and do old fan fave Sub Zero. This went through several variations as I was having trouble figuring out which direction to take the design, ultimately I settled for a slightly more modern look than what we’ve usually seen.

Mortal Kombat movie concept – Kitana

Haven’t done one of these for a while. Apparently a new Mortal Kombat film is in the works so in honour of that I thought I’d create a couple of possible character designs. First up Kitana who’s look I’ve based off her outfit in the latest MK game.

Wonder Woman Sequel Design

Well it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything so I figured I may as well do something new. As some know I’ve done Wonder Woman designs in the past, but I’ve never done anything beyond a film one concept. With the recent trend of superhero suits getting upgrades in sequels I figure I might try my hand doing one for a hypothetical Wonder Woman 2. The concept is basically the same as the previous Greco-Roman costume but is given a more sleek design and uses more modern materials, including the popular mesh like texture which seems to be appearing a lot in superhero costumes lately.

Disney Fighter – Rapunzel

10th and final fighter.

Rapunzel’s new back story is that she’s an imprisoned sorceress who manages to escape her solitary confinement. I’m much happier with this one compared to the last one, in fact I think I might go back and fix Mulan coz I wasn’t in the right mood when designing that one. I desperately wanted to find a way to add her frying pan but numerous attempts failed to find a solution. After several revisions this was about 8-9 hours work in Painter.

Disney Fighter – Mulan

EDIT: I’m going to redo this one coz I’m not happy with it.

Second last.

So after a break for a bit to regain some confidence I decided to finish off this series. Second last in this series is Mulan, given she was already a kick arse warrior to begin with this proved a bit of a challenge to reinterpret her. Ultimately took some ideas from both Chun-Li and Kitana and turned her into an assassin who’s a master of disguise. I lost count of how long this took because didn’t feel like completing it which resulted in mistakes so I’m not that happy with the final product, but it was probably about 10 hours. Done in Painter with some Photoshop.

Disney Fighter – Aurora

Thank you Michelle McCool for the inspiration on this one.

Get your wrestling trunks on, latest Disney Fighter is Aurora. Her back story is now she’s a professional wrestler called Briar Rose who goes by the in ring name of Aurora. Took me a while to figure out what to do with the character, had ideas for all other characters except her for the longest time. It wasn’t until I noticed a resemblance between the character and WWE wrestler Michelle McCool when the idea finally came, so I referenced Michelle for this. Done in about 7 hours in painters, with a touch of Photoshop for the belt.

Disney Fighter – Tiana

And another!

Another to the list. Latest Disney fighter is Tiana from Princess and the Frog, who’s altered back story is now she’s a military soldier who’s entered the fighting tournament to prove she is capable of commanding her own unit. This was the trickiest of the characters so far mostly due to her original dress colour (light green and pale yellow, eeck). Went through 3 alterations and character designs before settling on this military look. About 10-11 hours on this one including all the revisions. Done in Painter.

Disney Fighter – Pocahontas

josh — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 11:30:05 +0000

Definitely the hottest of Disney’s ladies in my opinion.

Next up in my Disney Fighter series is Pocahontas. In her new back story Pocahontas is an environmental activist and the descendant of a great Powhatan warrior, she enters the fighting tournament to literally fight for nature. This was a bit tricky to get right, spent a while just trying to get the right pose, eventually settling for this stance which i think works well. About 8-9 hours on this one, done in Painter.

Disney Fighter – Belle

josh — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 10:20:42 +0000

More fun.

Warrior number 5 in my Disney Fighter series is the hot book worm Belle who I’ve turned into a Muay Thai kick-boxer. Her new back story is Belle turned to self defense after being kidnapped and held hostage when she was younger, she’s now a world champion kick-boxer. I actually used a shot of Gina Carano as reference for this which had the right kind of energy I was looking for in a pose. Done in Painter over about 7 hours.
