Thanks again for the compliments.
but this one - honestly, I don't like it. When I think of Jade, I think of oriental beauty.
I really really don't like the hair... but I guess that's my opinion. She sorta looks like an old dyke.
But seriously - don't take any offense. It's just my opinion. I know you can do better though.

2) For the record, she also isn't African, or a Stop The Insanity! cover-girl for that matter (at least... so we hope ^^). She's Edenian with a tan. ;p Vs. Kitana that got no exposure to Earth Sun.

I think of her as an Edanian black woman. Because she is too dark in UMK3 for that to just be a tan. Even Hispanics are lighter than that, for the most part.
I know she is not African, and that she is Edanian. And in the MK video game storyline, it is never said wether she is white, or black.
Everything that she is wearing, white people wear too.
even the ear plugs.
The costume was a mixture of English, Japanese, and African cultures.

ActingArtisit made no mention of Jade actually being Oriental; just that when thought of, Oritenal-esque beauty came to mind. I'm not trying to be an ass, just refuting the refutes. :)

It takes a lot to tick me off. I am a very passive person.
I was just saying what I thought of Jade. I'm not trying to argue.
Anyway, I would never try to offend you, because I like you. You have a nice personality, and are very friendly.
So, no hate from here.

All of my friends from African decent have the nappy hair, I didn't even think of giving Jade the straight hair.

I'm ranting because I've got something in the works for Kitana that changes her "style" a bit. My hope is I don't get hammered by purists who refuse to see the characters any other way besides what's in the game. My belief is she doesn't walk around in a leotard all day with thigh high boots and her boobs hanging out. She is supposed to be royalty and a general.

Everybody wants something different, but still the same, you can't please everyone. We are only human.

Since this is an art forum let's discuss the artistic qualities. I actually like your interpretation, white hair, ear lobe plugs, dark skin and all. Jade is such a nebulous character (in the games, movies and TV doesn't count) that it's hard to say what she is. This latest push by everyone making her a black woman is cool. I hope Midway takes note and uses it. I'm ranting because I've got something in the works for Kitana that changes her "style" a bit.

I totally agree. I've been working on a new outfit for her myself. I think it's about time we saw the Edenian Empress side of Kitana, not the oggling fanboy side.
