Uploading a few of my fav pieces from Mortal Kombat 9. I worked on the endings of Ermac, Sheeva, Liu Kang, Sindel and Quan Chi.

This was a super fun game to work on. The guys at Netherrealm brought me in for about 3 months to help them finish up these endings. I was super psyched to get to work on MK9, with such amazing artists!

More endings are up on my blog: [link]

edit:
1.) Thanks so much for the DD! Very unexpected (then again, who expects these things?), but also much appreciated! Thanks for all your comments and favs! =D
2.) I've gotten a few people saying that this scene reminds them of one from Hercules. Before I get 30 more people saying it, I'm gonna nip it in the butt now- I've never seen Hercules! I did go look up a youtube video of the scene after a few people pointed it out, and yes, I can see the similarities. But, not having seen the movie, I can honestly say that it was not an inspiration for this piece. So, there you go!

Ermac by ~FreShPAiNt is a wonderful illustration for Mortal Kombat 9! First of all, it is far from the usual opinion we have of the game (pure violence without any other interest), it shows an amazing aestheticism in a very dynamic artwork! The limited palette of colors creates a stunning and eye-catching composition and of course the details with all these ghosts fighting together is breathtaking and you have to look at this carefully in order to appreciate every single part of "Ermac". - Suggester's words.

I love Ermac in MK9 I HAD to main him XD
This is spectacular! So much detail in it. I never actually noticed some of the ghost in his ending (my TV isn't the best when it comes to showing detail :C)

Amazing work!

OMG YOU worked on the endings?! *head explodes* i always wanted to work with the MK team CB
anyways your arts were awesomeness
now that you mention the endings you did do was this because they had no time to animate the endings you did? cause some endings had moving scenes while other were still images like this.

I have a feeling some of the reasons where some of my endings were not animated may have had to do with either artistic decisions on their end, and/or possibly technical constraints just due to me not separating out enough layers (which would be my fault) and not having the opportunity to work more directly with the animators. They did animate some scenes though, like the Sheeva scene for example. =)

oh, i just watched ermacs ending again i seem to forgot they did animate it, though it didnt show this whole scene here, but only of him in agony, while king jareds soul hovering above his head and they dont show all those souls you painted around him, then in the next scene it has jared sitting on the throne then it fades to being ermac on the throne
did you make those extra layers or did they add those in themselves?
