MK 1 sprites redrawn

Saw another poster on here trying to make better quality sprites for HD, which got me excited. First of, when I heard about the HD rumor, I was just ridiculously excited. Hell, I wanted MK 9 to go back to sprites. Anyways, after waiting for so long, I gave up. If there is one thing that I want for MK is another 2d sprite based game.

Anywho, back to what I was first talking about. Saw the post about bringing up the quality of the sprites, so I decided to give it a crack. When I have all the sprites drawn (well, if. Who knows how dedicated I will be with this for now since I'm approaching finals for school) I can have my teacher help me program a flash based MK 1 game.

That is pretty sweet. I think I speak for the entire site when I ask please finish the rest of Mortal Kombat characters for our enjoyment and viewership. Maybe you could turn it into an art project (or a programming project) to allow yourself "official" time to work on it.
 
i wouldnt mind seeing stylized versions of the originals.....i loved that deviant art pic of scorpion and shao kahn....i would like to see more from you also...and yeah dont forget his right thumb lol
 
appreciate the response guys. Very cool. Will add the thumb and and finish up soon. This is actually a project I've been wanting to do for a very long time. Had plans to do a Mugen based MK, but school got in the way. Will be graduating soon, so not sure how much I can get done. And since I'm going for 3D animation, my projects are very consuming. But will definitely try to do some here and there and make some kind of progress. Again, appreciate all the kind words.

Here is a simple idea I had for remaking MK 1. I think I'll merge this idea with what I'm doing now in trying to keep the sprites original and see if I can make something sexy.

Man this thread makes me sad the HD Kollection fell apart :( These are awesome man, keep it up!
 
Orrrrrr, I can go the 3D route. Which then I can still pose and process them as if they were sprites. Here is and example of an unfinished Goro I did to practice a Zbrush technique:

@Kamal haha I know, right? When I saw the post here about how it was in production, I started punching air out of pure joy. But now, its like I when I found out Santa Claus is not real.

Thanks a lot guys, appreciate all the comments. Wanted to update the finished sprite. Will try to animate it in Flash to see if it doesn't look too stiff. If I'm not satisfied, I'll just have to paint the rest of the frames. Yay.

You guys are too cool haha. But honestly, I would rather them re-shooting the actors than doing what I am. Never the less, the comment is very appreciated.

I was able to do the stance animation in flash, but think it looks too stiff. Will have to paint the sprites individually. Here is what the flash file looks like:
