I've been working on a Deadly Alliance-inspired update/redesign/modernization of Johnny Cage's Mortal Kombat 1 attire for a while now, as you may have noticed from earlier submissions.

For the most part, I've had a pretty good idea of what I wanted...things like sneakers instead of slippers, athletic tape on the wrists, his name down one side of his shorts, and a blue sash instead of a red one to match the blue he wears in every other game. For the longest time, my problem was that I simply wasn't happy with the drawing itself.

~Adam-aka-moron volunteered to do the coloring, which is good on account of how I'm not so good at it. I added a few touchups like the "Pit" background and text.

I intend to do the rest of MK1's cast in a similar manner (possibly including rumor-only characters like Ermac and Nimbus Terrafaux), so keep on the lookout for that as well.
