VOTE VOTE VOTE MOFO!

Okay, fudge it, I was writing up a long synopsis of every pic, but it poofed when I hit escape after I missed the shift key and hit the Windows key and I don't know what will make my text go back into the post. I was all the way to 13 too :cry:

So, without further ado, #12. I just laughed my ass off when I saw Cages look and the blood/brain splatter. Character are edited well too, if a bit choppy looking.

That's all it took to get my vote this go around :)
 
DAMMIT!! people quit checking the filenames on these fakes!

DON'T f***ing do that. if i'da known that would be a problem i DEFINATELY wouldn't have handled it that way. STOP CHECKING FILENAMES. it is destroying the annonymoty of this contest.

F***..... what the hell man... :evil:
 
OMFG What is going on?!? now I've lost my post twice. Starting one more time. Gonna copy it after each critique so I don't have to go from scratch lol. Gonna keep it short though, my hands and eyes are tired now. Rating has been hardened, seeing as this is a contest so folks need to have brought their "A" game.

  1. MK2 text, MK3 lifebars. "FATALITY" shouldn't be in there till a victory pose has been assumed. Rain had pants at some point before he was eviscerated. Where'd they go? The blood spurts should be thicker nearer the actual wound. The wounds look flat, like they are on top of the sprite instead of a part of it. No shadows, and a jumble of body parts from some unknown event. Why is Dan Forden there? He's funny in the midst of the game or in animations, but to just pop up during a fake is just distracting. 2/10
  2. Same 2 things as #1 to start. Lifebars are darkened but the text in them isn't. No visible exit wound. Baraka should be a mass of crumpled flesh and muscle, not a recognizable figure. The hands are a lame excuse of holding him up, the body would still collapse in on itself with no inner support structure. 2/10
  3. Beautifully done background. Only problem, the foreground spires aren't greyed out enough. They should match the background spires more closely. Blood effects are stupendous. Some of the best blood usage I've seen, even if it is from MKWarehouse. Mileena is all bent all wrong. The force of Liu's kick would double her over forward, not backward. Geometry is messed up. Liu's foot doesn't look like it would be protruding from her back from there. That's a heinous exit wound when there wouldn't be one imo. Those are stars I believe, not snow. 7/10
  4. Another excellent background. Only qualm with this one is, No visible light source to show that the clouds are lit from inbetween the two layers. If the light source was from the foreground, there should be some shadows from the arena on the clouds, even if really blurred. Did Motaro eat Lao's limbs? If so, there should be more blood splatter on his chest. Face rip looks good, One thing, how can Motaro be holding a face that has a full head of hair on it, and there also be a full head of hair on Lao's body still? One of the blood trails from Motaro's feet is darker than the others. Guess the oxygen hasn't gotten to that one yet... Motaro's shadow. You tried to hide it Midway® in his stance, but I can still see that it's not connected to all of his hooves properly. Blood effects are good, but that spurt coming from Lao's leg should have some sort of splatter on the ground and I'd like it to be thicker personally. 8/10
  5. Ice effect on Scorpion should be more of a block thing. Those stripes just don't look right. Some of the ice is even floating in air. Blood is okay. It should be trailing from the cutting edge of the axe though. There should also be a trail coming from Scorpion that was going up, but is starting to decend. That kind of cut would most likely gush like a waterfall instead of spurting. I've seen the use of the weapons from the background before, so you don't get any originality points there :(. Timer was a poor choice. It's so big it is distracting. 6/10
  6. Life bars placed wrong and backwards. Timer placed wrong as well. Life bar is draining from the wrong side. Names are FUBAR. Smoke should have some sort of skin tone. Not just grey scale. Too much going on to Cyber Smoke. So much you can't tell what exactly is going on. Soul Chamber section of background doesn't fit. It should look more slate-like. The rest of the background looks good. Skulls and stuff hanging from the spikes detract from this. A LOT. 2/10
  7. Fire is just a copy of one blurred orange and yellow effect repasted to cover Liu's legs. Kintaro looks bad. He just doesn't fit. The shading on him is the wrong color to go with the rest of the fake. "FATALITY" comment from 1 & 2. A bit of the fire is floating above the rest of it. If you do this on purpose, do more than one. One looks like a mistake. MK2 text on MK3 life bars again as well as a mis-placed timer. Poor Kintaro sprite, -2. Icky fire effect, -1. Liu's expression, priceless :lol:. 7/10
  8. Hillarious. This one makes me laugh, so that's extra points for you ;). The arrows look corny, but that adds to the charm of this one. If you're going to rename the sprite, do more to it than give him a change of pants and different face paint. Entry/Exit wounds aren't all that wonderful. There should be some spurting going on if you don't over do it. This is because Mileena is still standing, there for should still have a beating heart. There should be a lot of blood coming from those arm sockets, which are well done I might add, since you have major arteries coming straight from the heart to that area of the body. Also should have some misty looking blood trailing behind the arm that is still in the air. 5.5/10
  9. Background is okay, but I disagree with the chains that come from nowhere and seem to have no purpose. The Shadow Priests seem out of place as well, but I like the way Kahn's Tower looms in the background as I've said before. Fatality has been done before, or something similar by Midget Kong I think it was. No blood coming from the wounds or the arms. Flesh coming from the sockets doesn't look textured enough. Too flat. Same "FATALITY" comment. 4/10
  10. Background is awesome. Simple, yet very artistic. The fade effect from the mountains to the sky to the clouds is well done. Same for the lighting effects from the lightning. Foreground lightning bolt is too thick though :oops:. Fatality is nice and gruesome. The thing on Baraka's blade is too blurred though. The blood looks great the way it is pooled. The reflections are a nice touch, same with the clump of hair in Baraka's fist, along with the trickle of blood running down Baraka's arm. It's the little touches :) The ribs look like the poorest bit. One thing about Max's comment I disagree with on this one. When blood soaks into cloth, it just darkens it and appears red on only lightly colored clothing. For red and black clothing, it would appear a dark brown and black. You can't get much darker than black, so it doesn't look bad. 9/10
  11. "FATALITY" is too low. Can't bitch about the victory pose though, you got that dead on 8). Background is a superb job. My beefs are, the pillars look flat, even with the light reflecting in them. Tsung should have an expression of disdain or pleasure at the out come. Even if it's just a slight smirk. He should also be focused on the action, not the viewer of the fake :P. Cage's body looks awesome how it's just hanging limply like that. His face should have a slight blue tint to the whole thing. His hair line area is too bright. Too much blood for this kind of death. A trickle from the nose, ears and mouth would be about it. The editing on Scorpions boots and wristguards is too puffy looking. He looks like he's wearing fur boots and I have a feeling that Scorpion is too bad ass to wear fur boots :lol: 7/10
  12. Comedy in it's purest form. Cage's body language just oozes hilarity. Brain and blood splatter are very well done. Editing on Scorpion earns a "Flawless Victory" in my book. Cage looks good too. Just not as cool as Scorpion. Background is decent. I'm just not a fan of the Wastelands. The wound on the back of Cage's head is great too. Shadows are well done. Any fan of your work would be able to pick this out as yours. That's not a bad thing. Your character editing is just very good, yet unique 8). 8/10
  13. Yeah... umm... errr... uhh... hrmmm... Yeah... You killed ED BOON OMGWTF!!1!one. (the guy on the pillar in case you were unaware) What exactly happened? The skeleton that is hanging is in two pieces, but isn't hanging like it should be if that is the case. Reflections of the rocks in the water look great. I'm guessing because that is how the picture came. I say this because nothing else coming from the water has a refletion. 2/10
  14. Boring. Seen this soooo many times before. It's not even a good idea to start with imo. Life bars, text and timer are all place badly. The colorization of the background isn't anything special either. 2/10
  15. Cool idea in a Matrix© sort of way. Intestines should be coming from the back, not pushed out in front of Baraka. Blood should be more of a spray effect. Not that feathered look like in #3. Exit/Entry wounds are just one flat color and don't look to be a part of the sprite. Comon mistake. You've got the blood covering the spikes in the foreground, that's a no-no. Baraka's feet are cut off too :? and why is there blood coming from one of them? 4/10
  16. Intestines, yummy. Excellent background. No gripes, bitches or complaints in that area. Jax looks much better with black jeans than he does in spandex :). I like the little blood fountain too. A very well done fake, but it just doesn't seem to have that pizazz for some reason. I can't put my finger on it. 7.5/10

Like I said before, the comedic effect on 12 won me over even though it isn't my highest rated fake. Cage's glasses do look off, but I can forgive that since I got a good laugh. Even my bro stopped scrolling and started laughing when he came upon that gem.
 
KoRoneR, I would recommend if you hold another contest, to instead of have the username, you have another form of typing it in, like, the first person to enter. You know? entry1fake or something. It would really help from finding out who did it.
 
If we have another, I suggest you give everyone a break by having it AFTER the new year (1st Jan). We need a break after having two straight after each other.

You should of named them 'entry1, entry2, etc'. :wink:

I wish we could save the results of each contest on TRMK's site somewhere... :?
 
What if the winner is rewarded a medal ( a pic saying Fake Winner) to put in their sig. I know other sites do that, so why don't we adopt that tradition.
 
My vote goes to number 2... why? becuase i felt like it.....


Oh and prophet has a point, there should be like a little medal of valor to all winners, and a blue ribbbon for everyone who participated...

Click to expand...

agreed but karma stays the same.
 
i choose number 13 because that it is like no other than the other fakes.
i think the guy who made this was talking about shaolin monks. look at sector's life bar. it is kinda the same as the shaolin monks one. its like one of those drawings that makes you think about it. is he staring at an opponent offscreen? is he wondering what he was like before he became a robot? its pretty cool. the backround is like the pit I in daylight version too.
 
i've been a jerk lately so here's my apology.

but i still dont see any reason why you guys are checking the filenames. i can't think why the hell that would be necessary.

anyways im butting out, so you wont hear anymore "rule making" or angry posts like that anymore. im'a just take down the votes and zip my lip.

entry 1: one vote
