Part of my KOF Redux series.

In honor of the new KOF XII debut at the tokyo AOU trade show going on this weekend. If you haven't seen the trailer I highly recommend it, 2D games just got redefined.

K' from KOF. He has always been one of the coolest characters of the series, unfortunately his story seems a tad underdeveloped. Any how in this design you can see that his flame ability has gone out of his control a bit and started to envelope his entire arm. I got rid of the traditional leather jacket and chaps for a leather shirt and faded jeans. I was never a fan of the chaps to tell you the truth, it always looked a little weird given that I have never seen him actually on a motorcycle. I thought this outfit was a little more subtle but effective.

I wanted the shirt to mimic the one worn by Brandon Lee in the crow, really conforming to the body, I always loved that outfit he had. Of course the shirt used to be pristine but the fire has pretty much destroyed it on his arm.

Lastly I gave him hinge-less shades. Similar to the ones that Morpheus had in the Matrix, great design for shades.

wow, this is badass, that's a cool outfit, and make K' justice
Insta-fav.
BTW, are you going to make a Kula Redux?
:iconx19a:
It just occurred to me that K resembles that guy from Wolf's Rain, your version even more so.

With this version, almost everything's great. I just can't help but miss his old suit - I think it would've made him resemble the T-1000 after he started freezing.

Awesomeness - it can't be contained.

Yeah, I know what you mean by the wolfs rain character (I think it was shiro?), when I saw that anime he instantly reminded me of K'.

It was hard for me ditching k's outfit like I did, but hey I can't rightly call it a REDUX is I just use the old clothes now can I :).
:iconx19a:
Guess so, tho if i could, I woulda modified it from a full-body suit to something mixing his and Terry's jacket (minus the wool cuffs; maybe have the sleeves cut-off around the elbows). I coulda sworn I saw a pic of Sakura from Street Fighter doing a yell while performing a backhand/fist - I think that'd be good for K' (without the yell) with the addition of a flaming backhand/karate chop.

Cool ^^ K' kicks asses!!
