Liu Kang Alt. from MK9 (Logo version A)

Yes, Sir! Yet another MK character from the latest opus but this time I got to draw Mister Liu Kang himself!!

I mean for a Bruce Lee fan, playing him was something back in the day, I'm talking early MKs.

Since he became God of Fire (or sumthin') while his Martial technique (read 'S-moves') definitely took a turn towards Pyrotechnics of it.

Would only seem fair to having him surrounding by his element but then there is that thing that I had always tried to picture mentally was how the hell does the bicycle kick works, I mean, the physics, with real gravity involved and all so there you go.
I tried to draw Liu Kang with his nw improved bicycle kick for better or worse but sure it was a fun challenge.

Also I changed a little bit from the style of lines I used before

-for my previous characters at the MK Immortal Project @ [link] and hosted from DA over Here [link] -

tried to make it more dynamic and comic booky like. A lil' bit like those old MK3 illustrations.

Pencils and Inks on Paper (No digital lines this time)
