While there’s no doubt Mortal Kombat X looks good, thanks in part to its release for the latest line of gaming platforms, it’s always interesting to research the roots of our favorites games’ high-quality visuals. Concept artist Justin Murray recently made that quest a little easier by releasing three of his personal pieces.

The art in question highlights early designs for returning veteran Mileena as well as the duo Ferra and Torr. Obviously, much of the work on the former was set due to her appearances in several previous installments, but Murray was given the opportunity to work on the new anatomy of her mouth as well as focus the overall aesthetics for the latter. Much of his influence would find its way into the final game, though some pieces, like Ferra’s chain, was be tweaked before launch.

Feel free to check out Murray’s art below and let us know what you think.

In line with the release of BlazBlue: Chronophantasma EXTEND in Japan this week, Arc System Works and Famitsu are releasing a set of color palettes that are exclusively available by way of a code included in the latest issue of the popular magazine.

This isn’t the first time that Arc System Works has created colors exclusively for Famitsu. Last year’s Persona 4 Arena Ultimax also featured such content.

Whether or not these colors will somehow make it into the western release for the game is unknown. In the meantime, check out how the characters look with these alternate colors in the gallery below.
