Blows were traded, and more than just egos are bruised in this final exchange!

Before, I gave out a teaser that included the text, "LK(F,F,D,F)". A few people were quite confused by it, though it was soon recognized to be a command or combo of some sort. Back when MK2 came out (and before GameFAQs was a thing), I often borrowed games magazines from friends/classmates, and had to write down the different commands for the moves and fatalities. I came up with a way to jot down these commands, inspired by the algebra I had to do in school at the time, so "LK(F,F,D,F)" translated to "Hold LK, then press Forward, Forward, Down, Forward, then release LK", which was the command for Kitana's "Kiss of Death" Fatality. There, mystery solved!

So, welcome to the finale for the latest commission series for ! And probably my first attempt in doing sequential work in quite some time!

This was put together from five separate pages of pencilled art, with additional grayscale painting and screentones from Photoshop. It took considerably longer to finish compared to the previous installments, mainly due to me getting a new job, which took quite a bit out of my personal drawing time. I wanted to push the envelope on this one, and I did promise to give this one an extra special treatment, so I think it was well worth it!
