I saw something on this a while ago. If I recall, its from a guy who did concept art on MKvsDC. Its what he wants Quan Chi to look like. I don't know for sure. Could be pulling it out my ass.

Either way, it looks retarded sick.

Wow. I've never seen that picture before and thus, couldn't even remotely speak to it's validity, but I certainly hope it is. All I can really say:

1) If that's real, then I love the MK team's new art style.
2) That's how I'd imagine someone like Quan Chi looking after surviving Armageddon.
3) That picture looks awesome.

Even if it's a fake, great find man!!

haha thanks.

If anybody knows anyhting to the validity. Your opinion is verymuch craved here.

He was an artist on MKvsDC, this was a redesign of the character he did for fun. Theres also a cool looking 3D version of that design on there, check it out.

That is actually fantastic!

If only it was real.

That would be one hell of an art direction. Dark and Brutal...

I'm not the world's biggest Quan Chi fan, but if that model made it into one of the games, I really doubt I would complain. It's absolutely terrifying stuff, and Quan looks like an absolute demonic bad-ass (which is sort of the whole point of him). He went from looking like a bit of a clown in MK4 (I honestly thought that, even though many liked the character) to being given a darker look for Deadly Alliance. Something like this, which makes it seem like he could destroy an entire realm by his hand alone, is the natural progression for the character.

Our current generation of graphics and rendering allows stuff like scars and tone to be used so effectively, and I think a lot of characters will benefit so much from that. Back in the day, you only really had colour to distinguish certain characters. Now you can drain a lot of that colour and detail them with wounds, detailed costumes, tattoos, etc. From an art perspective, this is where I think Mortal Kombat should go. Step back from the bright colours of old comic book stylings and such, and move towards a darker era of blacks, browns, greys, dull reds with splashes of colours being thrown in as elements of hope and eccentricity (think Sin City and even the Christopher Nolan Batman films).

This is a pretty cool look for Quan Chi. It would be nice to see the characters have this sort of feel to them.

I remember seeing this render. Its brilliant. It's almost like MK crossed with Resident Evil. Quan Chi looks amazing in it. This sort of art style for the next game would be just unreal.

Yea, I saw this some time ago. It's a great mock-up.

Wow he looks amazing! and scary!
All MK characters need this treatment.
This is what I imagine when people say MK needs to have a darker look and feel.
Just imagine that in 1080p on a new version of MKD's Sky Temple, in pouring rain and howling wind with eerie music. Would be SICK!

Yeah, all characters should have some kind of dark look like this one.

This works for Quan Chi but id hate to see the hole cast trying to look dark (ex. Dark Raiden). I like that really old looking and skinny Quan Chi character model alot more than the designs weve seen in the past for him.

That's awesome.

That's the dark MK feel right there.

Check this shit out.

That is awesome.

What I love about that Quan Chi render -- he looks unbeatable. It looks like if you punched the dude in the face, he'd just growl and raise an army of the undead to kick your ass. I can't imagine beating him and the announcer yelling "FINISH HIM!!!" And I certainly can't imagine performing a Fatality on him. That's a character model with credibility right there.

Yeah thats pretty sick! Would be nice to see Quan Chi look something like this if he returns. I really hope this is the route they go by going 'darker'.. well, just not every character I think should look as if they have been cut and diced the up! but still awesome. Reminds me of the creature from the horror film Creep, if anyones seen it.

ur link isnt working for me. post the pic?

wasn't this from someones fansite

they did sindle and some really strange characters

That is seriously one beautiful and awesome render/concept art.

Probably the best Quan Chi ever (I'm still a big fan of the MK4 renders though, there is still something very unique about his MK4 look that gives me the creeps).

Great find! Thanks for posting!



That is amazing! Thank you so much for posting.



Awesome! Thank you for the link!

Yeah, the "claimed" they made it but they didn't because they're one character was a blatant copy of a Blood Elf drawing I saw in Blizzard or something, and was found in Deviant art. (Basically a site where anyone can steal one's work, I've seen it done before.)

But it's kinda of a cool look to get Quan Chi... and possibly any other characters. If this next game's story comes after Armageddon or something, just saying, all these characters look like they, I don't know, survived Armageddon.

It's still an interesting look.

dawm, quan chi should have his own horror flick. Nice look..darker, more serious..this dude is on to something.

I love it I love it I love it. Hire this guy, and get rid of whoever you had in MKA.

Looks like something out of Hellraiser.
