Artist's Comments

I've recently been reading some awesome books by the great fantasy artists Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell, these book inspired me to try using Oils for the first time, needless to say this image of Mortal Kombat's Kitana is nowhere near the level of what Vallejo and Bell can produce, I tried at best to copy the techniques both artists say they use in the books, I think I need a bit more practice before I reach their level. :)


The image referenced used is courtesy of Tw1stedTruth-stock [link] probably about 13 hours of work, maybe more.

This is my favorite MK fighter, but I also love how you 'Nolan'ed her up here, taking a fantastic concept and making it look plausible! Her costume now looks less like fan service and more like a legitimate uniform, her body no longer exaggerated but with weight and reality. Very nicely done :clap:

This is an incredible piece, Josh! GREAT work, I really love the eyes and the blood stains on the fans.

Wow. Probably one of the most impressive pieces I have ever seen. I love the go between realism and painterly.

Impressive. Very.
