New Sculpture - Smoke LV Two
On 6-30-2020 I put the finishing details on my second LV inspired Mortal Kombat Smoke mask. This piece is part of a series I’m exploring where I revisit some of my favorite video game characters.
Smoke first appeared in Mortal Kombat II (1993) as a hidden unplayable opponent and grey ninja palette swap of Scorpion who would make random onscreen appearances during gameplay. He made his official playable debut in 1995's Mortal Kombat 3 as an unlockable character, this time as an indigo-colored swap of the game's cybernetic ninjas, Sektor and Cyrax.
His role in the series has predominantly been that of a friend and confidant to the younger Sub-Zero; both are part of the Lin Kuei clan of assassins who boldly choose to defect after learning of the clan's plan to convert its members into cyborgs. Smoke was ultimately captured and transformed, and given orders to hunt down Sub-Zero, but unlike his robotic counterparts he had retained his human soul. In the three-dimensional games, he is connected with Noob Saibot, under whose command he serves. Smoke's background is expanded the 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot, it was said that he came from the Czech city of Prague, while his and Sub-Zero's fortunes are reversed in the retelling of their MK3 storyline.
Despite having mostly served in a supporting role in the games, he has proven to be one of the more popular characters in the Mortal Kombat series, gaining mostly positive fan and critical reception. Response to his Fatality finishing moves has been mostly mixed. Smoke has also featured in alternate Mortal Kombat media such as the Malibu comic book series, the 1996 cartoon Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, and the 1997 film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, in addition to appearing on some official merchandise.
New Sculpture - Noob Saibot LV Two
Today I put the finishing details on my second LV inspired Mortal Kombat Noob Saibot mask. This piece is part of a series I’m exploring where I revisit some of my favorite video game characters.
Noob Saibot is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. Initially depicted as a black silhouette of the game's other male ninja characters and sharing their moves, he would be given his own unique moveset and appearance in later games. His name consists of the surnames of Mortal Kombat creators Ed Boon and John Tobias spelled backwards.
In the storyline of the games, the character first appeared as Sub-Zero in the original 1992 game, although this would not be established until 2004's Mortal Kombat: Deception.[1] As Noob Saibot, he debuted as an unplayable hidden character in Mortal Kombat II (1993) and became a player character for the first time in the console versions of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (1996). His backstory establishes him as an undead wraith and member of the Brotherhood of the Shadow cult, which places him in the service of many of the series' villains.
Upcycled Classic Fett
Today I wrapped up a fun tribute/sculpture to the classic Kenner Boba Fett toy from the late 70’s. I used upcycled E-waste and other found objects to create this piece. Another fun aspect of this piece is that its wearable and the inside of the helmet is finished with detailing and padding.
