Just a warning, I'm going to make a very snarky comment.
Those designs are completely badass. However, the bland descriptions of the characters, terribly buzzword laden and generic descriptions of what exactly he wanted to do with the reboot from a gameplay perspective and the terrible grammar throughout the blog post give me an idea of why his pitch might not have been taken seriously.

Oooh, you know it's 'dark', 'mature' and other industy buzzwords when the characters sport tattoos! That said, I do like the Scorpion and Raiden redesigns. They suit the characters more than the Sonja and Cyber-Yojimbo...I mean Kano...overhauls.
Grimdark Kombat.
But seriously, that's some fucking incredible artwork. It's a shame it got turned down, but concept art alone does not make a good game.

I never did truly understand the plot to fighting games. Backstory for the fightes is good and all to make the characters interesting and unique. But the story plot? How does that fit in? You basically have two fighters duking it out each match until you beat the last boss character in the last match. Hell you don't even need a plot story. The whole plot is just an excuse to explain the reason why people are beating each other up in a tournament.
Note that I just dislike plot story when the single player story mode just boils down to having your character fighting another character, then advancing to the next round and repeat the proccess until you finally fight the boss character. Once you beat that character, then you get treated to some cinematic video or wall of text showing the ending for that your specific character player. I prefer the "Edge Master Mode" in the first Soul Edge game. That felt more like a story and enjoyable.

[i]bland discriptions, buzzword laden and generic[i] - this is a pitch we're talking about here afterall.
But seriously, this is the first time since the release of MK2 that anything to do with the series has elicted more than a sneer of contempt from me. They must have been mixing coke and quailudes in the boardroom to pass up on this (I mean, thats the kind of drug suit'n'table dicks do right?).

There's a reason why they dropped the whole "half Japanese, half US" crap for Kano, it was stupid. Also, Trevor Goddard (R.I.P.) kicked ass as Kano in the movie and made Kano actually cool.
Awesome. An overhaul is exactly what Mortal Kombat needs. Take it back to a point where it wasn't quite so goofy and just save that stuff for the Vs games.
This art has been floating around for a while, but I must point out that if you look at the Deadly Alliance/Deception artwork, that kicks terrifying amounts of ass too.
It's just that in the transistion from artwork into 3D, they turn into retarded looking puppets.

I'm diggin raiden's design and a bit of scorpion's too (although the yellow paint/blood/puke is kinda lame) but the rest of the redesigns are ...eh. Sonya's alright but why the hell would someone wearing , basically, a bikini to a fight have just ONE
I was feeling it until I saw the Sonia one. That thing looked like a twelve-year-old drew it. Each individual tit was bigger than her whole head. And what was that star supposed to be? Was that supposed to mean she's law enforcement? Because, you know, they still use badges like that. And why does she have a medieval gauntlet thing AND a katana AND a fucking pistol? She wasn't even wearing shorts! At least Lara Croft wore short-shorts. They problably got one look at that picture and all good will for whatever he was doing was lost immediately. I wouldn't blame them. The other ones were cool but Jesus!
I really like the Kano design. He's always been my favorite character and I think the design looks badass. It's unique looking and makes the half American, half Japanese idea work. Actually, all the concepts are badass except for Sonya's.
How can this idea be turned down? I mean the dismemberment game design really worked in Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. It added some new flavor to the fighting game genre where you have to be prepared and ready to loose a limb, thus not being able to perform some moves. It added some spice by making every match feel unique as well as a gives very satisfying feeling when you beat your opponent after losing a limb or two. In my opinion, this idea is what Mortal Kombat needs

i love the 'my boyfriend was an aspiring tattoo artist and gave me this when i was 15' ankh tattoo that sonyas rockin
Those pictures are pretty amazing. The current MK aesthetic is tired and silly. With Armageddon and MK vs DC they only got closer to the sensibilities of MK3 and MK4 that they originally tried to sway from with MK5. The overall story has also gotten completely convoluted, and it never has been that great. A grittier re-imagining could be just the thing I would need to be interested in the series again. Honestly though, they really just need to give the series to a new development studio. While they're fun, no MK game has ever been truly good.
Needs to be more brutal
MOAR! blood
and does anyone else see a slight resemblance to our very own Y0j1mb0

Looks like this Vincent guy had something pretty good going with these. Seems a shame they'll never be used.
those pics were pretty badass, except raiden looked funny cause his hat was too far down his face but nonetheless i bet it would bring up a lot of hype if any fighter looked like that
