Mortal Kombat | Dark Grandmaster Noob Saibot (wip)

I've been sort of jumping all over the place with this piece which usually spells 'disaster' for me (and still could!) but I actually think this is still coming along alright. I wish I had more free time to really put bigger dents in the pieces I start but on a positive note, I am feeling overall a whole lot less rusty than before and I am looking forward to building on that~

I haven't decided who I want to draw next- but if I can step away from Bi-han for just a moment- I am leaning towards Mileena, General Shao, Reiko or Havik because I think they'd look cool in my style. But I also want to draw GG again so who knows what'll happen lol

BiTomas Week Update

heyo guys, I gotta tell ya something.

I want to say BiTomas Week will no longer be hosted by two people due some personal stuff going on.

the BiTomas week account I'll try to keep active myself or I might just make a new one instead.

Out of respect for people who wish to participate or already have stuff in the works, the prompts will still be up. You can tag me and I will reblog what ever you guys got :3

I hope you can all understand. This ship isn't as well known as the bigger ones but it still holds a special place in my heart. hopefully next year will have it's corresponding week and yall can help with the prompts take your time everyone and take care, love you all

MK1 is a major step back on the little queer representation the Mortal Kombat series has

Now, Mortal Kombat hasn't ever been particularly avant-garde about LGBTQ+ representation. I'm aware of that. But with MK1 they've proved something to me: they're cowards.

Reworking SubScorp, basically the ship with a 20+ year lore and the most fandom activity of this entire franchise, into some weird, pseudo-incestuous thing for absolutely no reason, is already a step back. Making Tanya's and Mileena's relationship into this "impossible romance" (AKA a very convenient way of leaving things ~ implicit ~ ) and then proceeding to shift focus entirely to Tanya/Rain in the Khaos expansion is another step back (yes, Tanya is bisexual and that's not a problem, don't put words in my mouth - I mean to say they found a convenient way of giving her sapphic relationship little explicit subtext and then ran to focus on her M/F relationship).

Genderbending an originally male character (Sektor) to make it more palatable to the audience when you try to build chemistry with a male character is also such a display of cowardice. How does no one in this massive well-funded studio have balls to display an explicitly queer ship on screen like they display the straight ones?

They took the laziest approaches possible and I wish more people were talking about this, not gonna lie. At least with Kung Jin, who seems to have been banned to the shadowrealm for now, they gave him a little plot line portraying homophobia as a genuine fear many of us have. The "me" who played MKX was terrified of coming out at the time and having Raiden acknowledge and accept him made me sob in a good way.

It's frustrating to see this retrogression as a fan for 15~ years.
