Mortal Kombat Non-Fan Art

Scanned Sketchbook, Photoshop colour

Im not what you would call a fan of Mortal Kombat (After getting MK4 on the Nintendo64 a few years back I was bored after a day - stupid clunky strafing!) but it is part of my child hood. So when I started sketching this girl, and decided that she was a little boring so I gave her an extra pair of limbs and a random mark looked like hair, I instantly saw her as a female version of the MK beast general, Goro. I had a craving to do some hand rendered type.

Ive set myself a little incentive to encourage me to use my sketchbook. While the current one is quite decent, I have a moleskin currently sitting on my bookshelf. I feel like a kid saving all his coins for a bike. Every once and a while Ill open up said sketchbook and un-psychotically stroke the pages, then close the book and snap the elastic in place. Its good to have goals, even little ones.
