Mortal Kombat X Reptile Concept Art Gallery

Reptile concept art gallery as featured on Kombat Kast!

Posted at 02/13/2015 06:41 AM EST by

During the latest Kombat Kast live stream, NetherRealm Studios showed off a gallery of concept arts. Here are some of the designs for Reptile [click to enlarge]:

We looked forward to designing Reptile. With all the possible reptilian elements the character could possess, it gave us a huge amount of ideas to explore.

We began pursuing a more primal-influenced look, featuring bones as a main element of the look. His vicious nature makes this pairing feel right.

Over the years, Reptile has undergone some pretty radical changes. The finished primary look for MKX surprised with its relative familiarity. In the images above, you'll see some more varied designs for one of MK's original palette swaps. Look even closer, and you might even recognize some work in the style of MKOmmunity users like EmperorKahn!

Executive Producer Shaun Himmerick recently confirmed a plethora of opportunities for additional DLC skins for Mortal Kombat X. Could one of these be Reptile's? Register to discuss your favorites on the forum!

I agree with whoever said they chose the 2 perfect costumes for him. I carefully examined all of them, and honestly these are the best, so hats off to design team, excellent job!

His alternate is my favorite of the 2 (comic version), the designer Spiro(?) was correct, it makes him look more nimble.... that is what Reptile is, he's extremely fast and his design must reflect that.

I agree too! Both costumes look great.
I also slightly prefer the Alt, can't wait to see it in game. #SnakeBelt

I still think the "alt" is his primary.

They said before showing this that "alts" were already shown... Aka the debut Reptile trailer.

Further more not only the "alt" is used not only in the comic but also in the select screen.

Going by MK9 and Injustice, the story mode costumes ended up becoming the alternates. They even confirmed it on this stream that the concept art for his alternate, is in fact his alternate. The costume with the bone teeth on the vest is his primary since the other one appears in story mode, it will be his alternate.

Last stream prior to this one, they had the alternate costume icon for Reptile but his primary model was shown, now they changed the icon to his primary costume.

I personally hate his face like it looks like he's shedding . I'd take MK4 face over this one any day. And don't get me started on the outfit ...

Damn... Those concepts are so friggen awesome. Why did they just go back to his typical post mk4 look.... I really hope one of those will be selectable...

The concept art will be unlocked through Kombat Koins for the Krypt.

Don't like his main but that alternate is pretty cool, there is alot of interesting concepts there hopefully some of them will be additional costumes.

Seeing that bit during the stream makes me quite happy/hopeful they are making reptile a more intelligent/ambitious character this go around rather then a mindless lackey.

And maybe the jungle is where Reptile is from and Kotal / Aztecs caused their extinction. By using that ninja outfit, he could be in disguise at first before revealing his true nature?

In the original timeline, the Saurians were the indigenous race of EarthRealm millions of years ago. This is when the War in Heaven broke out. Raiden fought Shinnok in EarthRealm, and their battle devastated the planet. The dinosaurs were wiped out and a small amount of Saurians escaped to a realm called Zaterra. Thousands of years later, ShaoKahn conquered Zaterra.

I love the primary, the one we haven't seen in game yet. I also really like his new face. This is my favourite Reptile.

The in-game one we saw is the primary and his comic one is the alt.

Reptiles in game costume is his alt. They hid his primary for some unknown reason, apparently it is story driven.

The proof is when you look at his icon during the select screen and tyler lansdown said they have already shown a characters alt and withheld a primary costume for a character.

Yet, they choose 2 of the most generic, borderline boring, designs with drab/muted colors for the main, and alt. Here is hoping they are saving the really good outfits, with some actual vibrant colors, for the dlc pack.

I think a lot of the problem is they keep giving him dull green outfits on dull green skin, with lots of dull brown/gold/grey/black accents. So he just ends up looking like a dull mess of green on green.

I think a lot of what worked with his Shaolin Monks outfit was a sharp contrast in greens and blacks. His skin was a reptilian green, but his tunic was bright green, and there were lots of deep blacks with bright gold accents to break it all up.

But in 9 and X he's all dull drab earth-tones... and they add a lot of over-detailing to his outfits on top of that... he's like a piece of walking terrain more than a character. It's hard to pull the character out of all the noise and lack of color.

Yes, his Shaolin Monks design is my favorite, while MK4 is my least favorite. I prefer Reptile's design go in the direction of these fan art concepts:

I am loving his alt!
It is the perfect evolution between a human and a lizard!
I alway hated how they screw up reptile in previous games.
When i saw MKX reptile i was disappointed again, but his alt makes me finally happy. I hope it turns out to be his main costume....

So many awesome concepts and they went with lame idea of "bone vest". At least his alt (primary?) looks more or less good. Not really anything special, but at least better than what Reptile has been shown in so far.

My favorite concepts are from Concept Art 2 (second on the upper row) and Cobra one (fourth on the bottom row) and his costume from Concept Art 5.

My favorite costume (appearance) of Reptile is from MK4, so I hope for something closer to it. Of course, it won't happen, because fans, for some, reason adore more lizard-like Reptile, but at the same time ask for him to be a human-like ninja. And I hate his MKSM appearance.
