Kitana
Added 2019-10-14 21:03:57 +0000 UTCHey everyone, it's finished!
I wanted to make it look like she just finished fighting, so I made her skin more .. sweaty/dirty/blooddy =D
I did consider not including the blood splatter on the fan ... but you know what, it's Mortal Kombat for a reason lol.
Also, just for fun I'm including the unmasked + MK9 hair version =)

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I'm not very fan of the direction they went with the outfits in the new game, so I decided to use the other version. And I'm glad you are enjoying the images, I think it's important for me to grow as an artist and try out new ways of doing things and such =D

I also love the blood&dirt(This is MK! Hell yeah!) and of course that delicious skin! I've got to say that you show great improvements every month and you really outdid yourself with this Kitana piece!

2019-10-16 07:55:56 +0000 UTCThe background was quite interesting to do because I did in a different way. I usually spend a lot of time drawing things and then getting them out of focus, which tends to throw a lot of work away. This time around I made the background in a very rough, brushy way. Kinda like a speed paint, and the end result when I blurred, was pretty much the same lol. So it definitely has potential to do things like that in the future and improve upon that. I really liked to work on her body and make the sweaty look. I actually had to add a few more points because most of the "shine" was actually under her top lol. And yes. there will be a few combinations of her =)

2019-10-15 20:41:31 +0000 UTCWell, it's 6pm and I just woke up after an exhausting night shift, time to wake up by looking at some sensational artwork! ๐ธ๐ป So something I really like is the background and the diagonal split in tone from top left to bottom right with the brighter, subtly glowing sky and then the dingy, dirty surroundings. The background also has a nice amount of blur to it, not too much to take away from the detail, but enough to make sure that it doesn't distract from the main event in the foreground ๐ Speaking of which, I just love the colours for Kitana, she looks so vibrant and she really pops against her surroundings. The deep and rich blues of her attire and her tanned skin contrast beautifully, same with her skin and her hair and eyes, the latter of which are especially captivating with that strong shine to them. I do also love the metallic trims and shoulder/breast plates that she has, the colour is like a blend between gold and steel across her body and the dull-shiny texture looks terrific, as do the details like engravings/patterns. Something else that I also adore is the texture of the lighter blue parts of her clothing, it looks so smooth and you did such a great job that I can actually imagine what the material would feel like to touch, while the folds in her baggy pants, and tighter creases in the gloves also look excellent. The skin tones and teasers of her body all look beautiful too, I especially love the glistening shine that runs down her left hip/thigh, really pops and gives her more definition, as do the shines beneath her breasts that define her chest area. And it must be said, the way her pants/trousers hang loose around her thighs, with only a relatively thin section of material teasing the centre is just so very sensual and appealing ๐ป. And the hair in both versions of the painting looks terrific, I love the subtle shine in it and the blue tint to the black, really gives it so much detail, with the strands breaking off looking fantastic. The face is utterly lovely too, I really like the definition of her nose and her lips are utterly luscious. The blood splatter on the face is a nice and macabre touch too . And speaking of which, the blood on the fan is very well done too, really looks smeared across the material thickly. So after a proper comment now, excellent work on this Kitana piece! She really is so very beautiful and beautifully painted and I just adore the textures that you paint. Oh and one thing I wonder, in the final versions, is it possible to have the hair and faces alternated. Like to have the masked version with the long hair and the maskless version with the tied up hair? Either way, great work again and I'm looking forward to seeing those final, full sized paintings ๐ธ

2019-10-15 00:32:21 +0000 UTCthank you! I have to say I like both. The mask version is more "in character" for my liking, but the unmasked is also sexier lol

2019-10-15 00:32:10 +0000 UTCOutstanding my friend! Simply awesome in every way!! XD

2019-10-14 23:17:08 +0000 UTCAmazing painting Krys! I love the detail of the character with the dirt and blood in particular being very well done. The costume is beautiful and really love the detail of the metal accent pieces and her fan. Very nice background with this one as well. Gotta say I prefer the maskless version myself the face is very well done and she looks better with her hair down imo. Great stuff Krys, thanks.

2019-10-14 21:33:54 +0000 UTCthe nsfw versions are part of the rewards of october, which will be sent at the end of the month!

2019-10-14 21:33:24 +0000 UTCmouths are required to be considered hotter!!!
Lee
2019-10-14 21:31:56 +0000 UTCthank you! I have to say I like both versions of her hair. I always liked how buns leave the neck area clear, but at the same time, the long silky hair is really sexy. And blood is surprisingly tricky to make because it's a very particular liquid. It has a viscosity to it, that it drags and sitck that is very hard to reproduce. So I'm always happy when it looks like blood and not "red water" lol

2019-10-14 21:31:41 +0000 UTCany NSFW version?

2019-10-14 21:23:15 +0000 UTCHoly shit! This is arguably one of your best works. The natural look to the hair, the way the blood is splattered heavy in some areas and light in others, and there is something piercing about her eyes. 11/10

2019-10-14 21:09:20 +0000 UTCOh this is absolutely beautiful work! I love the colours, lighting and textures and Kitana looks so badass and sexy. I especially like the maskless, long hair version which looks particularly gorgeous! Very, very well done ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ (Have to be super brief, heading to work soon and just on my phone ๐ )
