“We are Ermac. We are the fusion of the souls of dead warriors, created by Shao Kahn to obey him without question.”

Head: Head-cast from the bin. I chose one with a furrowed brow.

Body: Wire armature. Needed him to be light since he would be suspended, so I bulked out with aluminum foil and wrapped in foil tape.

Sculpt: I mixed together Super Sculpey and Sculpey Firm and used that for the entire body, arms and legs. I used Aves to sculpt the head-wraps and all of the costume details on the body, arms and legs. Hands and feet are from the bin. I dremeled all of the detail out of the feet and sculpted Ermac’s shoes using Aves. Bendable Sculpey was used for the floating straps.

Paint: Finished him up with acrylic paints. I glossed all of the straps to give it a leather like appearance and to break up all the black in his costume.

Ermac’s MK: Deception version is when I really took notice of this ninja. I love the costume design and wanted to capture that iconic “floating” pose.

He has continually developed into even more of a bad-a$$ with the MK Legacy version and especially with his recent Mortal Kombat X incarnation.

Thanks for looking and please let me know what you think.
