Nose and lips look the same to me. I think they've changed the facial structure slightly so that they suit her features more. She looks far more feminine now. I think one problem with the first version (and probably why people said she was a drag queen) was that the cheek makeup made it look like she had very high cheek bones. I think now she looks very subtle.

Funny thing is, I don't think the first 'coming soon' version looks bad. It looks good. But it's not Tanya. If this had been another character, I'd think she looks good, but it's just not Tanya, nor bares any resemblance to any version of her prior to MK X

Where the heck are people finding that picture of the update? I can't seem to locate it.

Okay,

1.) That stupid Deception white eye bull crap. A lot of characters had pure white eyes, she was one of them. I don't care that she's a "sorceress" there was no reason for them to give her back those stupid pure white eyes.

2.) They gave her longer hair. Hair is obviously an issue with Netherrealm since it showed with Sindel, Kitana, and anyone else that had long hair. They cannot animate it so why give her longer hair? They should have kept it short like they did in her concepts.

3.) They changed the colors of her outfit to a darker yellow and got rid of the purple. What they had before looked great, now it's just giving her basically one color to stand out rather than having two colors that look cool together. It's another character that is wearing one color to associate it with black. We have enough of them.

4.) I actually liked that she had lighter skin, but was still dark enough to tell that she has black skin.

5.) I'm not sure if it's just me, but I feel like they made her slightly slimmer, but that may have just been the positioning of her previous render that I'm looking at on the Mortal Kombat wikia and just flipping through the two pictures simultaneously.

I respect that. Personally, I'm all for the white eyes, but perhaps that's just for one of the variations who knows? I'm glad they darkened her skin a bit more. I'd say it was a huge issue with her character, and I'm not just talking about people on TRMK. The lighter skin tone really changed her identity. I prefer the sleek longer hair, it reminds me of Deception. The raggedy bob didn't suit her. It just looked so blunt and wig-like. I think they've given her a huge step up from the original. I hope they impress with the variations now
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

I doubt the blanks eyes are variation-specific. I don't buy the "Oh it makes her look more like a sorceress" bullshit, when it is just an arbitrary design descision rather having a reason for them.

The hair isn't longer, but looks like it has less volume than before, and don't see how it is more realistic. Hell, you can even see the gaps behind the neck.

Perhaps it's shorter at the back and then comes down longer at the front, who knows? I'm excited to see how she looks in game

Yeah, I think they wanted to get the new render up as quickly as possible. We'll see how it looks in-game. It suits her much better, in my opinion. I wouldn't mind a little more volume to it, but the ragged edges of the previous hairstyle were just not Tanya.

Yeah I think the long sides and short back was intentional. It's stylish.
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

I'd love for them to bring back her MK4 hairstyle.
Not impossible at all and it'd really take me back.
I wonder how her alt will look hairstyle-wise.

shocking how much calmer the Tanya fans are on this site compared to others. Someone posted they didn't like the new Tanya design and world war 3 didn't happen.

Lmao! I agree. I saw someone on MKO say they hated Reptiles design, I think they ended up quitting the entire site because of death threats.
