this outfit is very somewhat original I remeber the first one, not so good. the quality of the outfit is good. I think it's not that useable, the textures are alright, not plain. The eye textures looks a little wierd, the lips invert the colors, with dark red on top and the light red on bottom, looks much better, the meshes are of high quality, love the head. :):):) good outfit

This is a fabulous outfit! It's not the first Sonya, but the other one is nothing compared to this one! I never played Mortal Kombat, but the reference picture shows an amazing resemblance! It bears a small resemblance to Alias #5 as well, but it has it's own way of making the colours work, and no shining, so it's a highly original outfit! The quality is great, there are no connection bugs in it, and the normals are working great, even on the easy-to-mess-up head, which isn't messed up at all! The textures are very good and show lots of detail, except some textures on the chest, that are quite plain, but they are okay never the less, and I can see you tried to make some muscles under them, which is good. I miss the navel though, but as you told me a short while ago, you just forgot to place it there (you were going to use mine, which was why I'm listed in the credits). There's a logo on her chest too, what does it mean? The hair texture is ace (though you didn't make it), and the pants sport an incredibly nice colour-scheme, with a perfect red colour matching the white and black belt perfectly, though I did find a single misplaced texture on the side of the pelvis. Then there are the boots, which, though without a shiny effect, still look a lot like leather and look great in-game. For some variation, one of the legs has a rubber band on it. Another cool thing is the spiky bracelets on her arms, they are very well done, and look very realistic, except they could probably use one more spike. You also made leather bands around her wrists, with skin beneath them (not placed directly onto them). The hands are very good, they even have some space between each finger, which you don't see much on other outfits. The connection is working great, even though the hand has polygons inside the joint! My only complaint is that they are extremely plain. Some nails and muscles would do good. The head is very cool in many ways. First, it's the cap, which, though a bit blocky, couldn't have been much better! It sits nicely on her head, and hair bits hang down from under it, which is very cool! Second, there are the eyes. This is the first outfit for TRLE (I think) that has 3D eyes! They are not round and smooth though, a bit cartoonish actually, but they get the job done. Still, they could require a bit more work. Third, it's the ponytail. Considering this is a Young Lara outfit, this is fairly well done, but the ponytail is still a bit too stiff, and it sticks into her back when looking around. It's also quite affected by crawling and such. My advice here is to make it an old Lara outfit instead, keep the first part of your ponytail, and then delete the rest and alter the HAIR. If you use my Princess Peach Toadstool's HAIR for reference, you may actually be the second one to make an outfit with loose hair! Just one more complaint on the head: The lips. You should apply the darker texture on the top lip and vice versa, now it looks like she has an overbite jaw... Next, the useability. This is a very versatile outfit! It fits well into casual levels, as well as a variety of environments, like cold places (pants and cap), warm places (cap and sports bra), jungles (protection on arms, as well as pants and cap to protect head and lower areas from poisonous plants), cities (okay, she has a special style there, but it works!) and high-tech (duh, she's a member of a "top military group dedicated to demolishing portals to Outworld on Earth and stopping evildoers"!) Last some personal opinions on the outfit: As I said in the start of the review, I've never played Mortal Kombat before, I've just seen some pictures in gaming magazines. And never really though much about the game in general, just knowing about it. This outfit, however, shows a dedication to a game, and I like to see that. Keith really progressed in his skills here, and gave us a near-perfect TRLE version of Sonya Blade, who appears to me as an equalient of Lara Croft in a more futuristic sense, except she fights evil instead of raiding tombs. She has an enemy. The enemy probably has some power, if he managed to fall of a building without dying... This means I can easily see Sonya going up against Kano or some other evildoers in a level, or even a game for TRLE. Therefore, I urge everyone to try this outfit! Who knows? Maybe your city playground level gets turned into a Mortal Kombat masterpiece if you try with this outfit and a couple of goons for her to fight? Therefore, I'd like to congratulate Keith on making such a wonderous outfit, and seeing how he has progressed since the Lucozade outfit, I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing how he will continue his "Quest for Mortal Kombat"! I'd also like to congratulate myself for sitting here in 30+ minutes composing a rediculously long review to honour Keith's creation. I must say I had a lot of fun doing it! And if you people out there see my dedication to the review (and even read the whole thing), I hope it inspires you to make better and more detailed reviews in the future! Trust me, it WILL help your reputation here! Greetings, Mr. Nice Guy, the Spam Cop. EDIT: It's no longer the longest review an item's ever got, it's been defeated... Trinity has went into the Bible department as well, and given my Assasin's Catsuit a mighty, lenghty, spacey, incredibly, complimentary, amazingly, truely, outstandingly, holy, majesticly, unbelievably long review!!! I was so baffled at reading it, it seemed so small, but it was downright long! Now, I need to take my place back! I want to write the best review! It's my duty as the Review Manager! It's my job! My passion! My destiny! Because I'm invincible! I can take on everybody! I can admit my failure, but I can use my failure to make a better, longer, righter, greater and superlatively superior review! I will succeed! But before that, I need to get into my reviewing mood... which may take a while, but when that time comes... **END OF TRANSMISSION** [i]Edited by MrNiceGuy[/i]

I loved this one, its really original, there is other outfit inspired in sonya blade, but this one is better no bugs on it, the textures and the meshes works perfecly its very useable, you can easly imagine this outfit in city levels. well, but its a bit hard to imagine it in a artic place :P the textures are excelent, but the torso mesh could be better the meshes are great, the hip, head, torso and hands are mine, but the author changed then a little, there is a nice belt in the hip, my high resolution head has now a well done hair and a great head!:D I´ve already played MK4, and this is the perfect Sonya Blade. Hey, I would like to see her partner, Jax( the one who has metalic arms) in TRLE too, Keith! Have you thought about that? :P [i]Edited by Danilo[/i]

that's maybe the best outfit you created up to now. The textures are brilliant and the meshes look good. The head is nice, too, especially the hair and the cap.Her hands are just a little bit too blocky. The eyes look good, but like MRNG said a little bit cartoonish. I would make something like an eyeliner on her eyes, so you can see them better. This outfit looks very athletic and stylish, no bugs, but not usable in many levels, because it's a new character.

Great work, I loved the textures and the meshes, it really looked like Sonya. The eye texture was really something new, great! (Not the same old "lara eyes" ;) ) Perhaps you could have give the lips some more light-refelexes or something ;) But I really liked (or like ;) :D) it! Great work, Keith!! :)
(09 Aug 2004 12:24)
Wow, she looks a lot like Sonya! I like the style of her outfit, athletic and stylish. Although the textures are not 100% perfect, they look good in game and are detailed (like the logo), that's the only important thing;). Her head looked really ace! The hair that comes out of the cap is so cool! Good work! And this one is original! The meshes are nice, but you could have done something better with her shoes. Very cool:)
(09 Aug 2004 22:21)
Wow! This is amazing! By far this is your most awesome outfit! :D The textures for her outfit are ace! The pants, and the belt, wow, it all fits and is well placed and has wonderful quality! The chest's textures are ace as well, and looks really good in-game. The only textures I did'nt like was the lips, they needed a tiny bit more detail, maybe some shine whould help. And the darker color should be on the top. The mesh for the head was amazing! It's so 3D, and the hat is very original. The hair is incredibly cool! The chest mesh is cool, too. I was impressed with the other mesh's as well, such as the belt and straps. Very well done! :D It's not as useable as some of the other outfits, like the red shirt makes it hard to place it in Jungle levels, but some how the hat makes up for that. It's an amazing outfit! The quality is really pretty good, the textured are well placed, well rotated, they wernt too big, ect. I love your MK outfits and your defenity geting so much better at making outfits. This is my favorite outfit of yours so far! :D Kepp up the awesome work!! :D

Originality is a 10, there was a Sonya Blade outfit released before yours, but you had been planning yours and yours was well very well made, so in my book it gets a 10 for originality. Quality is great, I've played MK at the arcade many times and this really looks like Sonya! The first thing that caught my eye when the level loaded was her bum textures, they just didn't seem to match up but I don't make outfits so I'm not even sure if you should be marked down for that :p So that didn't affect the rating at all. The ponytail looked really good, but stuck into her back when you used the look key and crouched, but that didn't bother that much. You could have made this outfit adult lara and edit the hair object to make the ponytail moveable, but its still great as it is. I also would have made her red top a bit less bright, but that may just be taste too. Useability is obviously the lowest category, not many people are specifically looking for an MK character to use, but someone may decide to try something different. Overall, I'd say this is your best outfit yet as it bears an incredible resemblence to Sonya, excellent job Keith! edit: Sorry, I forgot to rate the custom textures and meshes, but heres comments on them: Textures - the textures were very good, I especially liked the hair texture. Meshes - The meshes were excellent, Sonya's hair coming out of her hat was done very well, and the spike bands on her arms were awesome. Excellent job! [i]Edited by KurtisTrent[/i]

Oh My God!!!!!!!!!! That must be the longest review I or anyone has ever got!!!! If everyone reviewed like you..well...most people wouldn't be able to open the huge pages. :P Thank you Mr.NiceGuy for you're highly detailed and kind review! I will release Sonya Version 2. It will be Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat 3. In which Sonya wore green black and white, no cap but head band. Its different from the Mortal Kombat 4 Sonya which is the one I released already and I hope Sonya Version 2 does nearly as well as this. When I first made my first outfit (Red Raider) I never dreamed I would be able to make an outfit that would get reviews like Sonya got. Thank you all for reviewing and if I ever get Wad Merger working (please someone help me!) I'll be able to release more. if I don't get it working. Well then Sonya Blade is where my outfits will end. Edit: oh and if your looking for something to beat Trinitys amazing review, have fun trying to do that :P, my TRII Tibet Outfit is online!
