Raiden chooses sub-zero to go save the planet from destruction by shang tsungs summon of scorpion to go detroy the planet by sending shang tsungs portal of souls up to the sun and then set the portal on fire, resulting in the sun getting bigger and bigger full of souls...once it hits the planet a set of souls will be released going into shang tsungs soul and making him the most powerful beast on the planet. If Sub wins, he freezes the sun and we all get saved...if scorpion wins, we are all doomed
The back story to this picture sounds like this could be a movie poster, which is pretty close to what I originally thought it was until I saw the health bars. I like the giant sun and the darkened little figures of Subzero & Scorpion on the broken bridge about to face each other. The cloud effect and dragon eyes are a nice touch although I feel as though the eyes could have been blended into the background a little better as you can still make out the box around them & perhaps you could have left the health bars out of this one since it looks pretty good and I have no idea how theyre planning on fighting anyway.
Pretty cool looking pic. The background to this tells a good story and this pic portrays it very well. The fighters in the back look good as does the growing sun. I dont understand why the eyes of Baraka are in there or why the lifebars are cuz it doesnt look like they are about to fight. Like I said tho the pic is cool looking, I just dont think the lifebars should be in there.
Seems easy, but nothing could be so hard. Trying to guess life's dealing, what's the next card? I'm surely folding, I don't like this hand at all.

Great background story. The huge sun with the eyes in the middle is cool. I would have liked the little figures of Sub-Zero and Scorpion to be bigger, it would have made the picture a little better. You definitly should have taken the lifebars out. 3/5.
"Tis true my form is something odd, But blaming me is blaming God. Could I create myself anew, I would not fail in pleasing you. If I could reach from pole to pole, Or grasp the ocean with a span, I would be measured by the soul, The mind's the standard of the man." -Isaac Watts

I love the story, but you've given the bacgkround more prominence over Subs and Scorpy. The huge red moon is focusing all the attention towards it.
And the two fighters are too small! ~sigh~ Here. Those two should at least take up at least 2/3 of the picture for them to be a major element of the piece. And the little head shot effect you have going on at the bottom is fine but at the size you're using them as, they're too distracting. Make them smaller so they don't draw attention away from the focal point of the piece.
you have a nice background story. Ht concept of the piece is good but it doesnt look very good though. The main focus is the red moon. Its also very very big. I think it should have been smaller.
Also scorpions and sub-zeros faces may be too transperant. I think they would have looked better if they were bolder. They dont really attract any attention. The little sprites of sub and scorpion look alright. Cant really tell what they are doing.
I the lifebars dont really fit, i dont see why they are there, unless sub and scorpion are fighting. But it doesnt seem like they are.
