Originally it was just a monk in front of a sunset I painted. This being the year Mortal Kombat came out I added the lightning and the effect was instant.

It was chosen as a winner in the MK: Deadly Alliance fan art contest and is featured in the game in the krypt. You can find it under QO and it cost 1616 gold koins.

Straight acrylic painting. It took about 2 weeks painting 1 hour a day during a school class.
