Sketch Of Hanzo Hasashi Aka Scorpion

Mortal Kombat, arguably is the best video game ever created. I enjoy playing the video game because of the storyline, the characters and their fighting skills.

Mortal Kombat for those who know little to nothing about it, is an action-fantasy video game franchise created by Mid-way also known as NetherRealms Studios. It comes in series, the most exciting for me is the Mortal Kombat 3 video game.

The fighters all come in different sizes, shapes, from different race and realms. The fighters are pitched against each other in the different realms when they fight and these players have special powers. For those who love this game, you will agree with me that the most interesting parts are the combos, brutalities, fatalities and animalities!

This character I sketched with the aid of an HB pencil and A4 paper is Hanzo Hasashi aka Scorpion of the Shirai Ryu clan, a Japanese Ninja clan. He was killed along with his wife and clan by Bi-Han (Sub-Zero) from a rival Ninja clan, Lin kuei. But Hanzo Hasashi came back to the modern era as a wraith to avenge his death. You need to watch the recently released Mortal Kombat 2021 movie to understand the story better.

Here are the steps I went through to perfect my sketch.

I chose to draw Scorpion in a fighting position with a spear attached to his hand with the aid of a chain.

I love using the character, scorpion in the game. He is fast, good for close and long range combats as he can easily draw an opponent close to himself with the use of his chained spear shaped hook and these action comes with an interesting barri tone voice, "come over here!!!!". His fighting combinations is a wonderful sight to behold most especially his brutality.

Let me know what you think of my artwork. Thank you.
