Revised Raiden MK9

Raiden is a distinctive character with a strong presence, making him the perfect candidate for a MK9 redesign that showcases his unique style while maintaining the essence of his MKX look. To achieve this, I drew inspiration from his concept art and worked closely with the MKX model to create a truly standout design. Technical details reveal a meticulous approach: The face was repainted and resculpted to mirror Raiden's MKX appearance, with adjustments made to skin tone and the removal of stubble. The cowl was removed through paint-work, making way for his signature hairpiece. Hands were also repainted for enhanced detail and texture, ensuring they matched his refined facial features. Every element of his outfit has been upgraded with intricate surface details. A subtle grey cloud pattern was added to white cloth areas, while fabric texture was applied throughout. Cloth dynamics were painstakingly painted onto every aspect of his attire, giving it a lifelike quality. Metal areas now boast an embossed finish, adding depth and visual interest. The model was carefully re-scaled to MKX proportions and height, with adjustments made to the armature for optimal posing. The hat and amulet underwent significant upgrades, receiving high-definition textures that can be removed at will, allowing for maximum flexibility in design.
