I am a very poor writer so I get insanely nervous explaining my ideas for anything, but I have so many ideas right now and I've seen so many cool "healed Bi-han" or "post Khaos Reigns" ideas that I'm just going to share mine anyway lol

My idea is that the damage of becoming Noob is too much to ever be "healed" and that if he could ever be fully healed it would take many lifetimes. So, Liu Kang helps Bi-han manage the Khaos energy and stabilizes him but for the most part Bi-han is back at square one if he wants to be a "good guy". His Cryomancy that he was so proficient in is forever off the table as the khaos energy within him shatters and destabilizes any sort of ice construct he'd make. So, he has to master and rebuild a strong magical foundation with darkness as his primary element.

He'd be able to use Khaos magic and that would be exponentially stronger than his shadow magic but using it recklessly does corrupt him. Knowing that, he'd wander the realms looking for ways to manage and control his khaos magic and strengthen his shadow magic. Knowing he could kill titans with it, I'd like to think he'd never really choose to completely abandon khaos magic and that he'd always be a wildcard with it. I like the idea that he'd have to control the impulse to use that power recklessly. Every time he uses khaos power is a calculated risk, and everyone just needs to pray he is good at math when he uses khaos to get anything done.

Lastly, it is a bit mean of me, but I also like to keep him looking more like Noob and less like Sub-Zero because looking less human would mean that he cannot wander around Earthrealm freely anymore. So, if Earthrealm was in trouble and Liu Kang asked him to help, he'd literally have to work in the shadows- No personal glory. He'd have to help because he wanted to do the right thing and no other reason. Plus, I think wandering the other realms would be good for him. Maybe he'd better understand other characters and be less judgmental of others by the end (maybe... hopefully).

Anyways, thanks for reading my slop if you made it here. I am also okay with completely evil forever Noob. But the idea of a "trying to be good" Noob who is doing his own thing is fun to me personally

Got some new art on the way but in the meantime, I wanted to promote my ko-fi account~!! I am going to do my best to open commissions a little more frequently this year but for those who don’t want to go all out on a commission but still want to support what I do, there is a way now~!

I usually post pictures of my original characters and like don’t say their names or make them hard to identify. But these are my four most drawn OCs- Lucia, Rene, Uriel, and Rifah. 

Lucia is a former spy turned professional killer. She is very laid back, which can often be mistaken as laziness. She likes to solve her problems with money. She likes to drive fast, high end cars and her ideal day would be one where she can just drive around aimlessly and chill~

Rene is a a bit of a mystery~ (I am not ready to share anything about her juuust yet lol even though there are like small hints already on my page heh).

Uriel is an Earth-attuned Archangel who’s purpose is to make sure the cycle of life and death remains balanced. In the mortal plane, she and the two hellhounds who accompany her are blind and can only sense and read other creatures and people through their emotions.

Rifah is a tracker. She likes to scavenge, collect and re-purpose very old tech and has the unfortunate tendency to build things that work just once and fall apart. She has a reputation as a very resilient and undying pest who always finds a way to capture her targets.

How to Commission Me~

+Email me at riftkaart(@)gmail.com if you would like to commission me or if you have any questions. Please include the word “Commission” in the subject line of your email.

+In the body of the email, tell me the character you’d like me to draw and please include reference(s) of the character, if necessary. The only instance where reference is not necessary is if you wish for me to draw a character from a well established franchise. If you are unsure whether your character applies, send reference just to be safe. I will NOT be designing new characters and designs at this time.

+I generally work best when given freedom to draw the character however I please but if you do have a specific prompt or theme you’d like for me to follow then you must be able to describe it in three words or less (ex- “cold and calculated”, “wildflower”, “summer vacation”, “battle stance”, “playful” etc). 

+You will be asked to pay for the commission when I am ready to start it. When it is time to pay for the commission you will be sent a Paypal Invoice. Once the Invoice has been paid I will begin the commission.

+When I am finished with your piece, you will receive the full resolution digital file of the artwork through your email account. This is a digital art commission, you will NOT receive a hard copy/print of you commission!

Terms of the commission under the cut!

+The price on all commissions may vary depending on the complexity of the request. More detailed or complex character designs will cost more. You will be given a price quote before I send the invoice.

+If your commission request is one that I feel uncomfortable doing, I have the right to deny your request.

+Once I have started the commission, it cannot be refunded. Refunds may only given if the piece has been paid for ahead of time and I have not started.

+My commission work may only be used for personal use. Commercial use is forbidden unless I have given explicit permission for it to be used as such. By commissioning me you give me permission to post the artwork I have drawn for you to my art sharing, social media sites and art portfolio.
