Mortal Kombat co-creator and character designer John Tobias has produced a rare new rendering -- and it can be yours to own! The one of a kind Sonya Blade will be signed by Tobias and the model who brought her to life, Kerri Hoskins, with proceeds contributing to the Raiden Science Foundation. Read on for details:
The special colour piece, depicting the well loved Mortal Kombat 3 incarnation of Sonya, is 18" x 24" (45.7cm x 61cm), and shows the klassic Special Forces fighter flexing with her iconic pink rings around the left wrist [pictured below].
The Fight4Rare auction began at $1, but in just two days has already reached $601, with bidding to close December 17th.
Money generated by the auction will go to the Raiden Science Foundation, and contribute to life-saving medical research at UMass Chan Medical School, to find treatments for the UBA5 genetic disorder, which has afflicted charity starter Linda and Tommy Pham's 3 year old son, Raiden.
In support of the project, John Tobias remarked to X, "So much fun drawing MK3 Sonya. I think the last drawing I did of that version of the character was the MK3 costume concept 25 [plus years ago]. Great cause! Get your bids in now!" Kerri Hoskins also thanked fans for joining the fight.
