Description
Woot! My very first pose without using a reference! I am pretty happy with the pose. A few minor flaws here and there, but overall, not bad for a first full-body drawing from memory, eh? It was such a pain in the butt to get that one arm with the clenched fist just right. Pfft! Okay, okay...that aside... I have been on a Mortal Kombat kick as of late and what better way to end my MK drawings than with one of my most favorite video game character of all time? Ladies and gentlemen... REPTILE!!!I chose to do this pose because this is where he removes his mask and reveals his "true" form to his opponents right before he performs his "fatality" move on them. Any die-hard MK fans will know exactly what I am talking about. I think my coloring on the medallion behind him could have come out better, but ah well. There is always something that can be fixed. I'll do better next time. You better believe that.

Heck yeah! Mortal Kombat has some of the best fatalities ever! So many other companies have tried to copy them, but not very well. MK still kicks ass on fatalities. ^_^ And I noticed that when I was looking around for reference pics for him that it was so hard to find a pic that had his real face. I had to resort back to the old games for help on it. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on this picture. I know the quality is not the greatest, but it is good to know that some people appreciate some of the different things in art once in a while instead of just looking at something and saying "Oh that sucks." or "That's pretty good." So thank you thank you thank you once again. ^_^

Oh my goshies I really luff that background!!! I think one of the best I saw done traditionally! And the pose is really awesome- he looks like he's getting his revenge or something. XD Aie, I've never heard of Reptile before. XD; The anatomy is pretty much PERFECT, too! Well done!
I've done fanart without refs before, and I know how hard it is to get everything right! Kudos to you for accomplishing a difficult feat. XD
By the way, your coloring is getting so great! I love the coloring part in this pic, and it really helps make the pic!

Wow! Thank you so so much for such amazing compliments. You totally have spoiled me!
I really appreciate that you have noticed the coloring in these. Alot of it is thanks to some new materials that I got for Christmas. I am so in love with my new brush pens. *huggles pens* At first I only had Reptile drawn and I felt like something was missing. So I drew the dragon medallion/Mortal Kombat logo behind him and voila!
I am so honored that you like it so much.
As for Mr. Reptile... he really doesn't have much of a fan following. And he only gets small parts in the movies. I don't think he even really showed up until like the second Mortal Kombat movie. Anywhoo... in this particular drawing, I tried to draw him in his stance that he takes right before he does his "fatality" move. I don't know if you have ever played any MK games before, so if not, a "fatality" move is a special move that the fighter does to finish off his opponent at the last second. Some of them are quite difficult to do, but well worth it if you DO actually get them done. Reptile here takes his "human-face" mask off revealing his true face (his snake face) to his enemy right before he either spits acid in their faces causing the flesh to melt away, OR sticks his long tongue out, wraps it around his victim's neck, and then rips their head off. It is so COOL! I love Reptile! Heehee
But anyway, thank you so much for always being encouraging of me and my art. I simply adore you.

logan is so awesome. Tell him I said he is super-cool. ^^ And yes, this was my first drawing done from memory. All of my other drawings I use some sort of reference, but for this pose, I saw it before from the video game (it is the pose he takes right before he performs his "fatality" moves on his opponents) and as well as some pictures I have of him which I used for color-reference. But the pose I did as best as I could and it is not totally without flaw, but for my first pose without reference, I must admit it did turn out okay.
Thank you so much and thank you to Logan as well for the praise. All my love to you and your family. Mwah!

Thank you so much Katie! I am so happy that he is getting alot of positive feedback. Unfortunately, there are a few things that need some work on him. His stance is the main thing that needs work. I am sad to report that I don't have his knees bent quite enough for the way he is standing. Nor are his legs far enough apart. >_< But those karate stances are so damn hard to get right. Ah well. I will keep trying and get it right next time. But I have to admit that it did turn out okay for the most part. Especially since it was my first pose from memory. That definitely makes me feel like I can accomplish alot more in the future.
I have so many ideas swirling in my head for what I want to draw next. It will definitely be an original female character. I have so much I want to do. Which is the coolest because I usually am lost when it comes to ideas for what t draw. So I will probably spend much of the day drawing some new characters. At least until party time tonight. *wink, wink* Thank you so much for your encouragement Katie. You are such a positive influence on me. All my love.

I know what you mean. Some of those poses are so bloody hard. Ah well, it's just something for us to work towards. ^_^
I hope you have fun with your art and party! My mom is in the hospital now and isn't going to be here so me and my sister are just going to watch the ball and do the party when my mom comes home. ^_^
I'm glad someone thinks I am. And I'm sure I could say the same for you! ^_^
Lots a luv and happy new year!! ^_^

Your mom is in the hospital? I hope it isn't anything serious. But then again... when has being in the hospital NOT been serious? I hope she gets better soon and gets to come home soon. It is about 6 pm here right now and I am getting ready to go and get some stuff for my party. And I even have a date for New Year's. So that is always a plus. I just hope I don't end up getting annoyed with him before the party's over.
He has a tendency to get on my nerves. But he is a real sweet guy. So I put up with it.
But anyhow, I will talk to you soon. Time to go get some schnapps.
All my love.

Yup. She thought she would be going home today but now she thinks not. She was having a lot of pain in her chest, that's why she's there.
Hope you had fun with your party!!!!

Awww...that poor thing. I am so sorry for your mommy. I hope she will be okay. Is it her heart? I hope not. I have such bad heart disease in my family and I know how scary it can be. My cousin died when she was only 5 days old due to congenital heart defects. My grandfather has heart disease and is in and out of the hospital every other month and I won't even get started on my grandmother's health. She's the one that has Alzheimer's. But I really hope everything goes okay for you. Well, I didn't party as much as I planned on because by that time, I was kind of not in the mood anymore. I had a couple of drinks, but nothing to even get a buzz. Besides, if I would've gotten blitzed, my house probably would have ended up destroyed. But me and my friends did karaoke (I have alot of karaoke stuff at my house. I'm addicted to it.) and just hung out together. It was fun. ^_^ I am working on something awesome today. And since you are my most favorite person in the world on here, you are going to be the first one I tell. I am currently working on a calender of my very own anime girls. And it is turning out really cute so far. I have February and August done so far. I was thinking about having my friend Luiz color them for me on his paint shop thing. He has been wanting to do an art project with me, so maybe that will be the best start. Okay... I'll end my little novel to you for now. I hope everything goes okay for you and your family. All my love to you. mwah!

My mom doesn't know what she has in her family. Her dad walked out before she was born and no one ever knew. I guess he had a bad heart, though.
I'm glad you had fun!! My mom came home this afternoon and we're going to have our fun tonight. ^_^
Aww, thanks Kristy!! That sounds like a great idea! I can't wait to see!

He is such a cool character.
Anyway, I absolutely love the coloring, especially the green parts. How did you color this? I stared at it for a good while but couldn't find out.
You did a good job. *Crawls away now,~~*

Thank you luv. I have some new brush pens that I have been using. I actually use alot of different mediums when I color my art. It gives them more dimension. But to colr this, I used my Crayola colored pencils (the best in my opinion) as well as Mars Graphic 3000 Duo brush pens. And they are water based which means I can do some neat watercolor effects with them as well. The downfall is that they are quite expensive. They cost over 20 dollars for just 8 of them. >_< For the rest of it, I just use Pentel color pens. They have a really fine tip on them and the color comes out so smooth and vibrant. I just love them. Thank you so much for the awesome compliments hun. I am so glad that you like him. ^_^
