Drew the Mortal Kombat ninjas. Isolated pics of each one below! (and hc lore for my au)
scorpion's skin is burnt because when he died. the hellfire tried to consume him, but such was his need for revenge he took it for himself, even if it burned him. so even after he comes back as hanzo hasashi hes still burnt
sub zero, after restoring the lin kuei, is always wearing the armor he had in deception. as much as canon after mk9 has him always wearing his mk3 look
reptile is actually wearing someone's skin over his saurian body. probably from someone who fell down in the pit. eventually he'll lose all of it and have to find a new one, or just go "commando" by showing his true self. his mask is based on the mkx one, with it looking like a lizard snout and being able to open so he can spit his acid
I tried to mix ermac's m1k design with his old deception one (did you notice I really like the designs from that era? lmao) I tried a lot to make him look like a ninja and a sorcerer, since lately they've been designing him to look much more like a sorcerer than a ninja. his skin is the same color as him in m1k
I like smoke's design from m1k and how all the ninjas dont have hoods anymore. since smoke doesnt wear a hood in mk9 I tried mixing his design from that game with m1k, so he has a hair bun, but his hair is still "flowy" and moves around as if it was underwater. his clothes also have a smoke/wind pattern like fujin's clothes from mk11. his bracelets and ankle covers are sharper because hes supposed to be a quick character
noob has the scythe from mk11, I loved the idea of him being a grim reaper character, but also I liked mk9's idea of his clothes being the same as when he was sub zero. so I took shaolin monks' design (my favorite classic sub zero) and scorched it. its to imply scorpion burnt him to a crisp, so he put on that hood to hide his face. I couldnt draw saibot but hes basically the same as MKSM sub zero, but all blacked out and his eyes glowing
I love Rain's designs from mk9 and 11, so I kind of mixed the veil mask and armor from 9 with the noble robes he has in 11. I also made his mask kind of like a crown and gave him makeup (hes a vain guy, I think it fits him)
tremor had the luck on being on the most brown game in the series that was mkx. but since this series is so colorful (something I dont like that m1k made it less) I made him almost orange. he always has lava around his body and his mask is made to resemble bane from the dark knight rises (hes also really tall and muscular, did you notice? lol)
sorry for the long text. I just have a lot of ideas for my au and I might start posting a little comic Ive been working on later

listen. getting an essential tremor diagnosis is such a tipping point for arthur in the college band au. he doesn't even remember when the shaking first started but he does remember that it keeps getting worse and he can't even hold a glass of water without spilling it these days. it's something he adjusts to, but never really gets used to.
he doesn't reach for straws often enough, even if it would make his life a lot easier, because it feels like giving up. it isn't—not even close—and, regardless, there's really no honor in spilling half a mouthful of coffee or water or lemonade down his chin every time he tries to take a sip. that makes him feel like a kid, still; too clumsy for the body he inhabits, flecks of damp soaking into his shirt and his jeans before he snags a napkin and does his best to scrub it out of the fabric, like that does any good.
a diagnosis is the answer for everything that was always laughed off as clumsiness, all the spilled drinks and shakily-written notes. all of the silent building pressure to grow up, you're not a kid anymore. get ahold of yourself— just take care of yourself. don't spill the glass of water again, arthur. it explains everything and more, and leaves arthur almost seething in the fallout. it was that simple. it was that simple and it was never his fault, just bad luck. (after that, the laughter at his expense stung a bit more, but it was still better than the alternative.)
when he'd left that first doctor's appointment, he sat in his car and read everything he could. the cause is unknown but it's in his head and he's not imagining it. the prescription medication was much less well-received, but he was willing if it was going to make him better or at leas not so bad, and he wasn't supposed to drink coffee anymore, not every day, but some things were worth the pain and instant coffee in his dorm room was one of those things.
regardless, his symptoms were only so manageable; he was a college student with a well-known band, too much stress was pretty much a given on more days than not. he told himself the coffee made him less stressed, and maybe he wasn't getting enough sleep either, but that wasn't new; he'd been a chronic insomniac since he was young, and a too-small pill every night at 8:45 wasn't the solution to that problem. he doesn't reach for straws often enough but he takes the medication and still drinks coffee and stays up too late, it doesn't fix everything but he knew it wouldn't anyway, and he still shakes all the time like he's out in the winter without a coat, but it's not his fault.
