Riptor Concept Art (Killer Instinct) by Evolution_500

Summary
Some concept art I made while writing "Zahn Und Klaue". I used some cobra as reference along with rattlesnakes and scorpions for the fangs, back and tail. I wanted to make the design more akin to how Riptor looked in KI1, where it had a distinctively snake-like look.

Lifestroke Concept Art (Killer Instinct) by Evolution_500
Fandoms: Killer Instinct (Video Games)
12 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
This was a character that I designed called "Lifestroke". Because a lot of KI's cast are derived from popular tropes from the 90s in some form or fashion (KI as it is is essentially a time capsule or "90s Zeitgeist: The Fighting Game Edition"), I wanted to do a design that looked like something from a 90s comic book. I mean, KI's characters all looked like something from the pages of Todd McFarlane, so I figured why not? In this case, I was sort of inspired by Spider-Man due to his lean physique along with his ninja-esque design, only I kind of replaced the spider motif with more of a Chinese dragon theme.
The name itself was kind of a nod DC's Deathstroke, but the story behind that is that a friend of mine had been complaining about there being too many characters with "Death" in their names. Lady Deathstrike, Deathstroke, Deadpool, Deadshot, Death's Head, etc.
"Why does every character need "death" in their name? Why not "life"?"
LOL Hence, Lifestroke. I may or may not feature him in an upcoming chapter for "A Touch Of Red", if not a future project. Let me know your thoughts if I should or shouldn't, but please, no flames.

Wendigo Character Concept (Killer Instinct) by Evolution_500
Fandoms: Killer Instinct (Video Games)
12 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
A character that was heavily requested in the KI Community was the Wendigo. When I was designing the creature, I didn’t want to make the creature an animal, because it wasn’t really - it’s an evil spirit. Because of that, I reasoned that it's able to do things to the body that the body itself wasn’t physically meant to do, so, to a tiny extent, I used “Evil Dead” as a reference.
In one version of the myth, a Wendigo grows bigger the more it consumes. In this case, the growth would tear the host body apart, breaking bones and muscles in ways in order to make newer structures or to restructure those parts to suit its needs.
Parts of it would be rotting as it attempts to eat anything and everything, until over time those human parts would inadvertently be replaced with things taken from nature such as stones, tree branches etc as it seeks to satisfy its hunger.
For the design process, I was also playing around with the idea of different types of Wendigos and that they would be perversions of not only the human form, but also whatever ill a person was suffering from that made them that way. I also gave it ibex horns because of their wonderful length and shape, just because I think this gives it a more regal look.Series

Creature Character Concept Art (Killer Instinct) by Evolution_500
Fandoms: Killer Instinct (Video Games)
12 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
When I started off with this character, I had wanted to see what other dinosaur-like creatures I could come up with. After all, since Ultratech had made Riptor, it only made sense that it would have similar creatures. For this design, I wanted to lean far more into the body horror aspect of Riptor and cross-species human/reptile hybridization. I kind of used the Necromorphs from the “Dead Space” series as inspiration along with some parts of human anatomy. Fun fact: I was initially going to use this design for Rex for "Footsteps Approaching", but I later decided against it. Suggestions for possible names are welcome.

Obscurity Boss Character Concept (Killer Instinct) by Evolution_500
Fandoms: Killer Instinct (Video Games)
12 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
Some proposed designs for a potential boss character for a future KI. Since Eyedol and Gargos were dead (at least, in the context of KI1 and 2), it made sense that a new big bad would step in to fill the void left behind. For the character, I was kind of inspired by the sets from "Event Horizon", more specifically the Gravity Drive with the spiked studded ball. I kind of wondered, "what if the Gravity Drive from that film suddenly turned into an actual character or creature?", thus Obscurity was born. Lobo and to a certain extent Midway's horror classic, "The Suffering", were also influences as well.
Fun fact: if you look carefully, Obscurity made a brief cameo in "Zahn Und Klaue".Series

Malecoda Character Concept Art (Killer Instinct) by Evolution_500
Fandoms: Killer Instinct (Video Games), DCU
12 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
Malecoda's backstory is that he’s the son of a wealthy industrialist who ended up becoming cursed by the Wendigo, and because of that, he’s in search of a cure. His feet are all bandaged up due to their being burned, and his helmet is an old Air Force pilot helmet that had belonged to his father, but it’s been converted in order to provide him with a steady supply of morphine as a way to keep the hunger that he constantly feels sedated (at least, as much as he could). The Wendigo would not only prey on both other people and animals, but would also torture and feed on its host’s sanity. His brain is akin to a chewed up gumball, constantly warping and twisting at the Wendigo’s whim for its own dark amusement. There would be a lot of body horror elements and humor with Malecoda, and since the Wendigo is immortal, he can’t die. When he initially got his powers, Malecoda’s first thought was to be a superhero, but because of how volatile the Wendigo is, a lot of the time it would twist his good intentions and things would end up going wrong, sometimes comically, other times horrific.
He may be used for a story in the future, be it for KI or DC. Let me know which you would prefer.

Riptor/Fulgore Hybrid Concept Art (Killer Instinct) by Evolution_500
Fandoms: Killer Instinct (Video Games)

Tags
Summary
A little while back, somebody made a pretty creative hybrid design of King Kong and Godzilla called “Kongzilla”. Inspired by this, I was sort of intrigued by the idea, and so I wanted to see what would happen if I were to combine two of my favorite characters within KI into one character. Thus, this was drawn up. Question now is, what should it be called? RipGore? FulTor? Something else?
What do you guys think?

Theseus Combat Android Concept Art (Killer Instinct) by Evolution_500
Fandoms: Killer Instinct (Video Games)
12 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
The idea for some of these android designs was to come up with a kind of genesis for how Fulgore came to be, if not future designs. Because Fulgore was based on a Medieval knight, I used Greek hoplite armor for reference along with some horse skulls to give it a scarier and kind of more visceral look.
