Mortal Kombat OCs [ #MKATUS ] & Pin post

pin post! Haha! Here is my link [all my social media and stuff]

Lonely night

bio and links

My 4 MK OCs!

MKATUS is an acronym for "Mortal Kombat And The Untold Story".

It is a side story that continues from the events of Mortal Kombat 9 and 10. The plot revolves around the lives of Kung Lao and Liu Kang's apprentices, as well as the Takahashi family. It explores what happened during the time when the heroes were absent, as well as what happened after they were resurrected.

I'll start to tell stories and draw them more with the hashtag #MKATUS

I’ve Noticed Kung Lao Ring on one of His Hands, I’d Like to Know Who’s The Wife He’s Married to

My brain is not functioning lately so this little comic doesn't make sense 😂😂 it's just random and chaos combined

Anyway my boss let me borrow his Nintendo

I have everyone here, the Shaolin, the SF, MK Kids but I'm too lazy to draw all their hair and outfits haha

First post of 2026. And I want to yap.

So… I got a full-time job. It’s not my dream job like animation, but I can do it. Even if it feels a bit forced sometimes. Who knows what the future holds, right?

Honestly… I want to go back to drawing. I miss 2023-2024 so fucking much.

Let me tell you something. Looking back from where I am now, 2024 might’ve been the best year for me. You know why? Because I was finally free from that stupid college. I literally chose not to finish my degree just so I could have time to draw. Yeah, it sounds insane. But honestly? It was totally worth it. (In my field nobody really cares about degrees anyway, they care about skill.)

It was probably one of the happiest times of my life. Sure, there was stress and sadness, but when I look back, the happiness outweighed it.

I drew those two old men nonstop, and somehow people actually liked them. What the fuck. My skills kept improving during that time. I slowly started revealing the characters and stories from my world, little by little. And it felt amazing.

Every day I’d wake up thinking: “I want to draw today. I want to bring them to life.” It was so fun I can’t die yet… who the hell is going to draw them if I’m gone?

That feeling of freedom… I had been holding it in for so long. Even though things at home were stressful. I had my favorite plushies. My pet loved me (that little guy’s old now and prefers being alone).

I had friends, and yeah, of course, I also lacked maturity. I was jealous of the people around me. I kept overthinking about who I was and how to be “good enough.” At some point I started comparing the number of likes on my posts and others', I don’t even remember when that started.

When I felt unwanted, lonely, or jealous… I pushed people away. Facebook, Twitter, everywhere. I kept isolating myself.

Then 2025 happened. I started thinking maybe I just shouldn’t be friends with anyone at all, because I thought I'm not a good person to be around anyone. So I chose to be alone.

The stress got worse. Game fandoms got quieter. Familiar people slowly disappeared. I was stressed about not having a job. I felt like such a fucking loser. Didn’t finish college. Couldn’t get hired anywhere. I didn’t even know if the animation industry was collapsing… or if I just wasn’t good enough. Why wasn’t I good enough? I’ve been practicing my whole life. I'm not bad! My skill is good for a junior! So why the hell couldn’t I get a job? It's been 1 year and a half damnit! Is my skill really that bad for living?

I got so exhausted that I couldn’t even draw anymore. All I could do was part-time jobs that paid almost nothing. And honestly, I don’t even know why I couldn’t just get up and keep improving my skills.

Other people at my age were having their lives. Meanwhile I felt like mine was already over.

Without my art skills, I’d just be another useless nobody.

My diary was mostly filled with stress about my dad, about not being able to find work, and sometimes jealousy toward other people.It went on like that until the end of the year. Eventually I quit social media completely.

But you know something? At the end of last November, I finally started getting up again. I tried to change myself, both in improving my skills and being more serious about religion.Of course I still get discouraged sometimes. But look at this… I hadn’t even gotten far into my plans for this year yet, and suddenly I got a job.

Life is so unpredictable. It happened so suddenly that I’m still confused.

Free housing. Free food/snacks. No water or electricity bills. Only saving. Isn't that an amazing place to work?

Even though it’s objectively good… I still want to work in animation. I’m angry that I’m stuck here. I'm angry that I can't do what I had planned for this year anymore. Really angry. But right now I don’t really have a choice.

And… yeah. I’m a young adult now. Compared to the last few years, I feel like I’ve grown up a little. I think I’ve got some fire back in me.

I want to draw again.

I want to feel that kind of happiness I had in 2023-2024 again.

Even if it’s just a little bit…I want to try starting over.

Thank you for still being here ❤️‍🩹

When I read the request, I forgot to read the parentheses, so I just...only drew a small moment, sorry, haha. I initially planned to draw two more Raiden pictures to complete the set, but I'm getting exhausted. I had fun with Fujin's hair thou.

would start drawing them more since they're also important in my au

[lonelynight13]

3 more requests! Haha! And about the MK legend one, I think I've drawn a page and posted here about Kung Lao in my style but honestly, I just draw them the way I usually draw

Haruka has met all the SF since she was a teenager but Duan Long doesn't usually meet anyone outside China except when he really needs to for a mission

[lonelynight13]

First 2/8 requests

Some animation I'm working on, and so I changed the cats' names and Jin Cat's color I wanna drop my little headcanon about the cats here hehe

Flower is a cat one of the villagers brought to the temple before the revenants came back. He’s super chill and loves people, so Kung Lao basically adores him.

Flame is a Norwegian Forest Cat that Lin bought so Flower would have a buddy. He’s curious, stubborn, and sometimes a total attention-seeker. Liu Kang loves how big and fluffy he is and since Flame’s the only cat without accessories, Liu Kang sometimes ties a little cloth around his own head to match him for fun. Now Flame is super attached to him. Liu Kang isn’t really an animal person though, so he just… tolerates it.

Flood used to be a stray that Duan Long picked up. He’s the only cat who hasn’t been neutered yet because Long is always busy and scared the cat might get hurt. Long spoils him so much that Flood has become a chubby little lazyball.

Fuzzy is a wild saddleback cat who kept sneaking in to steal the other cats’ food until she basically became domesticated by accident. She also keeps showing up because she seems to have a special friend among the male cats even when it’s not mating season.

Elbow is related to the same family who originally brought Flower. Three years later, they brought this cat to the temple too. He’s a loner, doesn’t like being touched, and bites a lot. He bit Kung Jin on the elbow once, so Jin called him “Elbow,” and the name stuck.

And for a bonus prompt:

Timelines

Quick reminder of the rules for the event:

Create anything you like, be it art, a manip, a mood board, a fic, a list of headcanons, an edit, literally anything you can think of is fair game

Post it with the tag #Twelve Days Of Kombatmas or #Kombatmas here on tumblr (if you post it anywhere else like ao3, twitter, or tiktok, that is also fine but pls post a link to it here so everyone can enjoy it!)

Don't start posting until the first day of the event, but feel free to keep posting after the event is "officially" over

Don't steal or bully (goes without saying, but yknow)

Please tag everything appropriately. If it is NSFW, tag that, if it has gore, tag it

Make sure you mention which continuity it is for, either in the tags or in the post itself. Since there are now so many different timelines (the 2021 live action film, the animated movies, og timeline, mk9-mk11, the new mk1, conquest, legacy, onslaught, defenders of the realm, the 1992/1995 live action movies, the list goes on) it is best to avoid confusion, so just a quick mention to keep things clear if you don't mind!

Remember, This event is for the ENTIRETY of Mortal Kombat. So all timelines, characters, and ships are fair game.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an ask, a message, or tag me in a post, really just however you feel most comfortable, and if there is any information about this event that you don't have but you would like, the same rules apply.

All updates will be posted to the Kombatmas tags (same ones as are on this post) so keep an eye on those if you are interested.

The countdown begins now: 6 weeks till Kombatmas

[lonelynight13]

Almost Done!

Honestly, I’m pretty paranoid that once it’s done, it might not feel like it was worth it if I post it on social media. This is an OC animation, and I don’t really have many supporters in the animation community I can count like...a few people thanks to my personality. Still, I might share it when the time comes, or I could just keep it for myself.

[lonelynight13]

Are you gonna continue the lin comic?

Yes, yes, I am. I've finished sketching the rest of them (6+ pages more). I burn out so badly to the point that I think to myself, 'Why should I draw anyway when I can keep the ideas to myself?' It means a lot to me to know that there is still someone interested in this little comic or something else. Here are the old screenshots of the WIP

[lonelynight13]
