TQT’s digital photography skills are master level
Early this month, Mortal Kombat 1 saw the addition of its latest DLC character, The Boys’ own Homelander, by way of a patch that granted those with early access to the game’s additional fighters the ability to play him first. In addition to a new fighter, this patch also introduced some new skins for a variety of different characters on the roster.
The Homelander compatibility update included the ability to purchase the top notch Earthrealm skins for both Mileena and Kitana, which were met with much praise from fans. Exceptional digital photographer TQT recently took a closer look at these two alternate costumes and shared a handful of gorgeous 4k screenshots of each skin that you have to see.
Now, both of these skins fall under the “Earthrealm” moniker, which likely is a reference to them being more on the side of something casual a regular human being on Earth would wear — at least relative to a standard Mortal Kombat outfit.
What’s great about these costumes is that the various color palette names provide a little bit more insight into what the inspiration was here. Both Mileena and Kitana have attire that one might associate with a dance club-goer, and with names like “Hungry Hipster” for Mileena and “Rave Princess” for Kitana, it seems that that assumption is spot on.
Mileena’s Earthrealm skin sees her with a stylized pink mask that is made to look like it has sharp teeth, big hoop earrings, and a hairdo that adds a couple of hair buns to her look. The whole design is rounded out with a very short, puffy jacket, a short black and white top, short shorts, and some slick pink gloves and boots.
Kitana’s Earthrealm skin has a similar foundation to Mileena’s, but with some specific distinctions that allow her personality to shine. Her mask has a bright gold piece on the front that stands out among all of the blue, her hair is tied up high in a long ponytail, her top is similar to Mileena’s, but black and gold, and instead of short shorts here Kitana rocks some tight leather pants.
The designs for these skins are fantastic and both sisters look amazing here. They look even better thanks to the incredible level of detail and style that goes into TQT’s incredible 4k screenshots.
Both Mileena and Kitana’s legendary Earthrealm skins are currently available for purchase in the Mortal Kombat 1 in-game premium store.
