Artist's Comments

Been a long time since I attempted any Mortal Kombat fanart. While the series character designs have been getting worse in the last few years; MK Deception had some pretty horrible new characters, there are some mainstays that remain awesome designs. Goro being one of them.

This was fun to do, but it took forever to position the arms, add all the detail, and work on his facial expression. As it stands now, his face structure isn't really accurate to the current artwork of him. Which has him with a stout, wider face, looking almost aged and filled with wisdom, rather then rage. But there you go.

Blurred his arm, because I wanted to make it seem like it was just about to hit you, as it's the part of him that's closest to the viewer.

Whoa! Don't see much Goro fanart these days. I like his hair. Nice composition overall.
:iconseruomen:
That is friggin awesome!!! XD! I love the detail on the spot-pattern on his shoulders, most people forget the character has it.

The rippling muscles, angle, and face expession just let you know someone off screen is about to get thier head punched off =P

But yeah... I think MK II is and always will be the best. MK3 was alright, but that was when it seemed Midway started taking shortcuts as far as sprite graphics go. Seriously, just HOW MANY SKULLS can one person have when they blow up? Not to mention, MK3 got rid of some of the best characters in the game.

UMK3 brought back those characters, but it seemed even more shortcuts were taken in the sprites.

I was happy to find out that they were bringing back Milleena (among my three favorite characters) for Deception... but then it seems they ruined the character- especially her fatality. She just bites the head off and spits it out now. I mean, come on- once MK went 3D, they REALLY slacked off on Fatalities. Most just simply decapitate or break bones into odd angles.

Badass!

As much as Goro is a violent, sadistic, murderous freak of nature, he always does act as a nostagic, fun memory of my childhood. I just smile when I look at him, even when he scares the shit out me... like right now.
