Description
Concept for the new Fulgore from Killer Instinct. This is the only character where all the concept art was on my shoulders. Which made me super nervous. Not only because Eric Canete had established a very specific shape language for the game, but also he was nailing all those other characters so well, and Fulgore is the cyborg poster child of KI. If I screwed this up, it would be all pitchforks and torches on the forums.He seems to be getting mostly positive feedback from the fans, which makes me super happy. I remember playing the hell out of KI on the SNES back in 7th grade, and drawing Fulgore on the front of my school notebook. It's surreal to be establishing his official update look 17 years later!

What was your inspiration when making Jago's hair?

I actually didnt work on Jago. They hired a freelance artist for most the characters, Fulgore was the only character I designed.

Awesome re-design actually.
I just would have prefer that bronzed color on the armor as in the original character, instead the new silvered-black tone.
This design fully captures the essence of Fulgore, it was really impressive though. The facial expression is intact yet different and more complex that the old one.
Just great....
Glacius was the problem, what about that face...? It does not maintain the essence of the original one

Thanks!
as for Glacius, we knew we would be doing a retro version of everyone, and so did not want to limit ourselves to designing the same thing twice. With our version of each character, the directive was to take the core concept of the character (in this case an alien) and push that concept further into the design than the original. We did many studies for the face of glacius. I think with the exception of Thunder, Glacius went through more revisions and studies than any other character. I am pretty happy with our final take on him, and we knew it would not please everyone, but knowing the retro model would be released as well we didn't want to waste the opportunity to design something of our own that pushed the boundaries of the original.

Oooooh yeah yeah Glacius!!!! I saw it already, the Classic one, super awesome!
And I also saw the "Classic Fulgore" on the internet and I disliked it TOTALLY... but we have your design anyways and that one is fantastic.
I know you may not give us so much info about the future updates of this game but I hope you guys does not let us waiting too much for Cinder, Riptor and Combo ahhaahahahah
Greetings! and GREAT work!

actually we are no longer working on Killer Instinct. The project was handed off to another company. Our last update was the Fulgore update. TJ Combo has been announced by the new company, and Cinder was teased.

Fulgore's new look is amazing. He looks lean without being anemic, something I always think about his KI2 look compared to his KI1 look.
