I'm in between paintings at the moment and since fakes are still a thing, I thought I'd have another go at one. I think the last time I made one was in '08 or something. I forgot how much fun they are to do. This is pretty messy and really just an excuse to try to merge my two favourite stages; The Tower and the Soul Chamber. Basically Shang Tsung is adding Liu Kang's soul to his vast collection. I contemplated making a HD fake at first but I'm too lazy for that at the moment. Maybe in the future. grin

Dude this is just fucking awesome. Great job re-texturing parts of the stage.
You and saizero both mixing stages huh? I like this concept...

I like the "soul smoke" effects on the little face sculptures but not on the green lanterns.

Other than that, this is another kick ass fake to add to your collection. Nice job.

I absolutely agree. I had the worst luck making this. I had the soul smoke copied and pasted from the eyes on to the cages as a placeholder to see what it would be like. I had pretty much decided against plus I was almost finished when Photoshop crashed and I knew I hadn't saved it. All I could do to salvage it was Print Scrn what I had and paint over it again but the smoke was stuck there now. I'm surprised it even happened cause I save religiously when painting. Anyway, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it. grin

You have become really good at this, Keith! I checked out your dA page and it's amazing to see the progress you've made since like.. 2005/2006 or so. Keep it up!

This is pretty outstanding Keith. I'm not too keen on the Liu Kang recoloring, but it's a minor issue in what is otherwise a very solid fake. There are lots of little details to hunt around the place (like in Shang's costume, and the pillars in the back), which really shows how seriously you took this fake.

Wicked. "Dark" and Green goes so well. I like the upperbody of Shang Tsung, looks real than a sprite. The outlines of the...shit what are they called Druids? Kinda bothers me. Well done overall. Love it.
